My close and supportive family

In this opportunity I’m going to talk about my family. I from Osorno, a little city in the south of Chile, and all my family live here. Well, not all but the most because I have family in La Unión and since April in Arica. My family of Osorno is very big, there are a lot of people and they are very close. My grandfather’s name is Maximiliano and my grandmother’s name is Leontina, but we called them “papi maqui” and “mami leo”. My uncles are Iván and José, and my aunts are Sonia and Oriana. My mom is the last one and her name is Sandra. And we are eleven cousins, most of us are twenty or thirty. I also have three nephews; all of them are three or four and are boys. It’s very funny and cool to have a very big family, because in the holidays, like birthdays, Christmas or New Year we come together to the grandparent’s house and celebrate.

We always make a barbecue, even in New Year we make one at night and another one at lunch of the first of January. this place is so quiet because it is in the field and it’s next to a river. In the summer all of us go swimming, rest and eat all the fruits of the trees like apples, cherries and peaches.  

And all are so close and supportive. For example, in April my cousin Andrea and her family went to Arica for the job of her husband and they missed so much the city, the field, the friends and the family. In the holidays of summer they wanted to travel, but they don’t have money. And my family decided to help them and raise money with events to benefit. They sell “empanadas”, barbecues, cakes, even clothes. Now they are about to collect the money and I’m sure they will succeed. I’m very proud of having this family.
