Key Vocabulary
English Translation
My name is Amir, and I am thirteen years old. I live in Shah Alam with my parents and younger sister, Aina. Our family is modest but very close. Although our lives are quite busy, we try to have dinner together at least a few times a week.
My father runs a small stationery shop. Recently, he started selling items online because more customers place orders by phone. My mother is a teacher. She teaches at a primary school. She often brings home funny stories about her pupils, but she is careful not to reveal their personal information.
We also remain close to our other relatives. My grandparents live in Melaka, near my uncle’s house. On certain weekends, relatives from other states also come. When everyone gathers, the dining table is barely large enough for all the dishes prepared.
Although we are close, misunderstandings still happen from time to time. Once, plans to gather at my grandparents’ house changed at the last minute, but not everyone knew. My grandmother usually calls people one by one, while my cousins discuss things in the WhatsApp group. As a result, my uncle came on the wrong day. Since then, we call my grandparents whenever the plans change.
I am close to my two cousins, Faris and Nadia. Faris is quieter and likes reading, whereas Nadia is sociable and enjoys talking. Although our personalities differ, we rarely run out of things to discuss when we meet.
As an older brother, I am not always patient with Aina. Sometimes she comes into my room while I am reading or doing my homework. We once argued because she took my things without asking permission. However, when I have problems at school, Aina always tries to cheer me up. We may be angry or sulk for a while, but we usually make up after both of us have calmed down.
