Sample Answer of Describe a Family Member You Spend a Lot of Time With

I’d like to talk about someone I always love to be around. That is my oldest sister, and her name’s Chi.

Chi is married with two kids, and she’s selfless and hardworking. She loves to cook and bake, and she has a youtube channel where she shares her recipes every week.

I spend most of my free time with her because we live in the same town, and it’s easy to get to her house even at night. Spending time with her gives me an ample opportunity to assist her with cooking, baking and other things. While watching and helping, I’m also learning in the process, and I can say I have greatly improved my culinary skills. I now boast about the new recipes to my friends, and I no longer eat out as I make my food at home.

Asides from the kitchen aspect, being with her makes me stay close to her kids, who’re my nephews and nieces as well; I get to play with them and help them out with school work and projects. We also find time to go shopping and see movies during weekends or when there’s a holiday.

In a nutshell, I feel productive and happy whenever I’m around my sister and her family. There’s never a dull moment with her, she loves me, and her children adore me as much as I do.
