Under One Roof(屋顶)
My family is big. There are eight rooms in our house. My dad, my mum, my brother, my grandparents, my uncle, my aunt, my two cousins, and I all live together in this house. I like living with my big family. When we need to do something(某事), we can always help each other. My uncle, for example(举例), likes gardening. He helps my grandma take care of(照顾) the flowers in the garden. My dad and I love cooking, so we make dinner for everyone four times(次) a week.
It's fun to live together with so many people, but sometimes it is hard too. For example, everyone wants to get ready for school or work at the same time in the morning, but we wait for our turn because our house has only(只有) two toilets(厕所)!
We live under one roof, but we all like to do different things in different places. My cousins often watch TV in their bedroom. My aunt often plays the piano in the living room, and my grandparents like playing chess or reading in the study. But in the evening, we have dinner together in the dining room(餐厅) and talk about our day!
