I'm going to ta lk about my grandm other on my fa th e r’s side. She is little quite and has
w hite hair and glasses. I have glasses too. We are the only people in the fam ily that wear
glasses! She is very old now and I don’t get to see her very often ... I th in k I maybe two
or three tim es a year see her. She lives quite far away in the countryside. It takes us
about three hours to travel there. W henever we visit, she always gives to me sweets. She
is im portant to me because she is so kind and so nice, and really I love her. She is my
favourite fam ily m em ber definitely! I th in k I take a fte r her in some ways. We laugh at the
same things and we both like reading. When we go and visit, always we go out w alking in
the fields and have a really lovely tim e. My dad always says that we are very sim ilar. I would
like to be when I am older as wise as her. I would also like to have a s im ila r life. A very
successful career she had. She was a doctor and w orked fo r charities. She was very much
in love w ith my grandfather, w hich I th in k is lovely.
Exam tip: Always allow tim e to edit your w ork, especially in the W riting exam. Noticing
and correcting details like punctuation and word o rder (as w e ll as spelling and
gra m m a tica l structure) can improve your score dram atically.
