Living in a big family can be both enjoyable and troublesome. DAILY NEWS has interviewed a few teenagers live with their parents and grandparents. Let's see what three of them think of living in a big family.
WenJiayi(aged 14)
"Living with my grandparents (be) a chance to have a better understanding of the meaning of family. The time that I spend with my grandparents is usually (many) than the time I spend with my parents. My grandparents and I always have fun together. We go on walks, chat with while (have) lunch, and watch TV together. I really enjoy being with my grandparents."
Liu Haoxuan (aged 13)
"Most of the time,I am happy with the idea of living with my grandparents. I think they' re lovely and nice. sometimes I also feel annoyed. They may look at some new things with old- fashioned view. Sometimes I have no idea to make them understand me. I guess this (call) the generation gap. However, I don't mind having disagreements with them . It is part of life, isn't it?"
ZhengYishi(aged 15)
"I am close to my grandparents, as well as to most of my other relatives. Most of my American friends don't have such close family relations that they are amazed to find that my family usually do things together. I know that some Italian-Americans also have big (family). All of the members of an Italian family choose to live on the same street. In this way, they can take care of each other (easy) It seems that different cultures have different family traditions and people keep those traditions even after moving to another country."
