你家有几口人？
My family in Chinese
Name: ________________ Date: ________
老师问我：“你家有几口人？”
“六口！”我拿出一张照片。
“这是我爸爸，他很高，很爱笑。这是我妈妈，她是医生，每天都很忙。”
“这是我哥哥，他十五岁，最喜欢打球。这是我姐姐，她十二岁，最喜欢看书。这是我，我八岁。”
“这是我妹妹。她两岁了，很小，很白，眼睛很大。她不喜欢穿衣服，也不喜欢洗澡。她一天睡十五个小时。”
同学们都笑了：“你妹妹真好玩儿！她会说话吗？”
“她会说一个字：喵！”
老师看了看照片，也笑了：“你家有五口人，还有一只猫。”
“不对，是六口！她是我妹妹！”

English (for the teacher)
The teacher asked me, “How many people are in your family?”
“Six!” I took out a photo.
“This is my dad. He’s tall and he loves to laugh. This is my mum. She’s a doctor, and she’s busy every day.”
“This is my big brother. He’s fifteen and he loves playing ball more than anything. This is my big sister. She’s twelve and she loves reading more than anything. This is me. I’m eight.”
“This is my little sister. She’s two. She’s very small and very white, with big eyes. She doesn’t like wearing clothes, and she doesn’t like baths. She sleeps fifteen hours a day.”
My classmates all laughed. “Your little sister is so funny! Can she talk?”
“She can say one word: miaow!”
The teacher looked at the photo and laughed too. “There are five people in your family, and a cat.”
“No, six! She’s my little sister!”
