§課文原文 Passage
1I have a big family, and my favourite relative is my cousin Kelly. She is a teenager too, so we understand each other easily. We send messages every day and share our problems at school. At home, I get along well with my siblings, although we argue about the computer sometimes. I am the second child, and my little brother is the youngest in the family.
2My grandfather is the eldest in our family, and he tells us funny stories about his childhood after dinner. He grew up in a village in the New Territories without televisions or mobile phones. His stories always make us laugh until our stomachs hurt. Next door, my neighbour Auntie Mei often gives us home-made cakes, and my mother cooks soup for her in return.
3My best friend Marco lives in the same estate, and our friendship started in Primary Three. We walk to school together every morning and join the same clubs after school. Every Sunday, my cousins come over for dinner and we play board games together. Grandma cooks fried noodles, and Grandpa watches us with a big smile. I believe family and true friends are the most precious things in life, and I will always treasure them.
