En qué consiste

My family is not very large, but it is very close, and for me, that is the most important thing. I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in a house that always feels full of life, noise, laughter, and the smell of good food. When people ask me to describe my family, I never know where to start, because every person is so different, and yet we all belong together in a way that is hard to explain with simple words. Let me start with my parents. My mother, Carmen, is fifty-two years old. She is a nurse in a hospital in Santurce, and she works long hours, but she always has energy for her family. She is warm, patient, and very organized. She remembers everyone's birthday, every doctor's appointment, and every important date without looking at a calendar. She is the heart of our home. If someone is sick, she knows what medicine to give. If someone is sad, she knows what words to say. If someone is hungry, she already has something cooking in the kitchen. My father, José, is fifty-five. He is an electrician, and he can fix almost anything in the house. He is quieter than my mother, but he has a great sense of humor. Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor: 1. How many people are there in your family? Can you describe each person? 2. Who are you closest to in your family, and why? 3. What does your mother do? What does your father do? 4. Do you have brothers or sisters? How are they different from you? 5. What do you like to do together as a family on Sundays? 6. What is your house like? Which room is your favorite? 7. How do you stay in contact with family members who live far away? 8. Can you describe a time when your family helped you with a problem? 9. What family traditions are important in your home? 10. How do you think your family will change in the next ten years? 📖 La lectura completa llegará en una actualización (la plataforma ahora limita el texto por lección).
