Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Nous sommes cinq dans ma famille: moi, mes parents et mes deux frères. Mon père s’appelle Joseph. Le nom de ma mère est Adèle. Vincent et Alain sont mes frères. Mon frère Vincent a 33 ans. Mon frère Alain a 25 ans. Moi, je suis le plus jeune. Vincent et Alain ont les cheveux blonds et les yeux bleus. Vincent a une moustache et Alain porte des lunettes. Nous aimons aller à la piscine pour nager et rencontrer nos amis. Nous y allons assez souvent quand nous sommes chez nos parents.
