IELTS - YOU AND YOUR FAMILY My name is Lucio. I'm from a small town in Paraiba/Brazil. Nowadays i'm living in Parana and i came here to work with software development at a Tribunal who deals with labour conflicts. I've been working there since 2015. I have a wife and we are married for 2 years. We don't have children yet, but we intend to. My parents live in Paraiba and I have 2 siblings. One sister who also lives in Paraiba and one brother who lives in Rio de Janeiro. My familly is small, but if i count other relatives like uncles, aunts, cousins, etc...so it's very big because both my parents have 7 siblings each one plus their children and grandchildren. I live with my wife so i'm with her all time. I always visit my parents and my sister when i can. I try to go there at least once a year and sometimes i visit my brother too. He lives closer than my parents, it's easier to visit him. Well, when i travel to there i like to spend a lot of time talking, visiting other relatives, playing with my nephew and niece and, principally, staying at home with my parents. I always like to go out with them to any restaurante to eat, talk e enjoy the day. I have a good relationship with everyone. I do get along well with my family. I often talk to everybody, try to visit them when i can and help them when it'is necessary. Here in Brazil is common and it's famous for its hospitality. The people have outgoing personality and generally they get along well with their familly. So do I. In my experiencie i don't know anyone who don't have contact or any relationship with its family. The end!!!
