家族構成について話してみよう

Talking about your family
自分の家族を説明してみましょう。
日本では家族構成について深く話す文化はあまりないかもしれません。しかし海外では、自己紹介をするときに家族構成について話すことはよくあります。

Please tell me about your family back in Japan.

My family members are my mother, old sister and myself. My father died five years ago. All my family except me live in Miyagi.

I see. Does your older sister live with your mother or do they just live in the same town?

My older sister and mother live together. My older sister left our home twice , but she returned to our home. She said "Because I feel so sad." I thought that she should learn to make an effort, otherwise she can't stand on her own two feet. To trust one's own family is good, though.

My older sister and mother live together. My older sister left our family home twice, but she came back both times. She said the reason was "because I feel lonely." I thought that she should try to live alone, otherwise she won't be able to stand on her own two feet. It's good to trust one's own family, though.

It is good to know there is someone loving you, but still you have to survive alone and be strong...

I think so too. I have to live alone. I'm apt to be dependent on somebody's kindness. One of the causes is that there is a kind person near. Being not too near without being too far are good.
