私の家族は四人です。父と母と弟と私が、小さなアパートで一緒に住んでいます。家はあまり広くないですが、いつもにぎやかで、私はこの家がとても好きです。
There are four people in my family. My father, my mother, my younger brother, and I all live together in a small apartment. Our home isn't very big, but it's always lively, and I love this house very much.
父は五十歳で、会社員です。毎朝六時に起きて、台所でコーヒーを入れます。父が入れるコーヒーのにおいで、私はいつも目がさめます。父の仕事はとても忙しくて、夜遅く帰る日も多いですけど、土曜日と日曜日は家でゆっくり新聞を読んだり、テレビを見たりしています。私が小さい時、父はよく公園に連れて行ってくれました。今でもその思い出が大好きです。
My father is fifty and works for a company. Every morning he gets up at six and makes coffee in the kitchen. The smell of the coffee he brews is what always wakes me up. His job is really busy, and there are many nights when he comes home late, but on Saturdays and Sundays he relaxes at home, reading the newspaper or watching TV. When I was little, he often took me to the park, and I still love those memories.
母は四十七歳で、近くの病院で働いています。母はやさしくて、料理がいちばん上手です。夕方、台所で歌を歌いながら、ごはんを作っています。母の声を聞くと、ああ、家に帰ってきたなと思います。母の趣味は本を読むことで、休みの日は窓のそばで何時間も本を読んでいます。
My mother is forty-seven and works at a hospital nearby. She is kind, and she's the best cook in the family. In the evening, she sings while she makes dinner in the kitchen. Whenever I hear her voice, I think, "Ah, I'm home." Her hobby is reading, and on her days off she sits by the window and reads for hours.
弟はまだ十二歳で、小学生です。サッカーが大好きで、毎日学校が終わってから、公園で友達と練習しています。弟は私より背が低いですが、走るのは私よりずっと速いです。ときどき小さなことでけんかをしますけど、本当はとてもかわいい弟です。
My younger brother is only twelve and still in elementary school. He loves soccer, and every day after school he practices with his friends at the park. He's shorter than me, but he runs much faster than I do. We sometimes argue over small things, but really he's a very sweet little brother.
日曜日の夜は、家族みんなでテーブルを囲んで、ゆっくりごはんを食べます。父は会社の話をして、母は今日のニュースを話します。弟は学校のことを楽しそうに話して、私もたくさん話します。テレビは消してあるので、笑い声だけが部屋に聞こえます。
On Sunday nights, the whole family sits around the table and takes our time over dinner. My father talks about work, my mother talks about the day's news. My brother cheerfully shares stories from school, and I have a lot to say too. The TV is off, so the only sound in the room is our laughter.
私の家族は有名でもお金持ちでもないけど、毎日一緒に笑うことができるから、私はいちばん幸せだと思います。
My family isn't famous or rich, but because we can laugh together every day, I think I'm the luckiest person in the world.
