[sample response]

There are four people in my family: my mother, my father, my little brother and me. We all live together in a small villa in Seoul. Although everyone is busy for their work, surely we are happy together. My father is self-employed and very strict for what is required at work. He loves to go hiking with his club members on the weekends because he is a bit chubby and trying very hard to lose weight. My mother is a diligent housewife and really good at cooking. She's crazy about shopping at a big supermarket, two blocks down the town. As for my little brother, he's 3 years younger than me and looks very much like my father. He's just started working at an electronic company and very interested in what he's doing. He used to pick a fight with me, but is now one of my closest friends and we often go out for fun. Overall, we all get on pretty well as a family although we sometimes get on each other's nerves.
