📖 Reading

My name is Lila. I am ten years old. I live with my family in a small house near the park. There are five people in my family: my mom, my dad, my big sister, my little brother, and me. My mom's name is Anna. She is a teacher, and she works at a school in our town. My dad's name is Tom. He is a cook, and he works at a big restaurant. He can make delicious pizza! I love his pizza very much. My big sister is called Rosa. She is fifteen years old, and she is very tall. She likes music, and she can play the guitar very well. My little brother is called Sam. He is only four years old. He can't read yet, but he can count to twenty. He is very funny. On Sunday, our family always eats lunch together. My grandma and grandpa come to our house, too. My grandma is seventy years old, and she has got white hair. She always brings a cake. My grandpa likes to tell funny stories. After lunch, we play games in the garden. I love my family very much. We are not rich, but we are happy together. Every evening, we sit in the living room and talk about our day. Family time is my favorite time of the day.
