Sample Answers

Do you often visit your relatives? Actually, I try to visit my relatives as often as I can, usually during holidays or special occasions. I believe it's essential to stay connected with family, and visiting them helps to strengthen our bond. For instance, I visited my grandparents last month, and we spent quality time together, sharing stories and laughter.

What do you do when you visit your relatives? When I visit my relatives, we usually catch up on each other's lives, share meals together, and sometimes watch movies or play games. I also like to help out with household chores or run errands for them. Last time I visited my aunt, I helped her with grocery shopping and cooking dinner, which was a great way to spend quality time together.

When was the last time you visited a relative? The last time I visited a relative was during the summer break when I went to see my grandparents at their beach house. We spent a week together, and it was an amazing experience. We went swimming, had barbecues, and even took a boat trip to a nearby island. It was a great way to relax and recharge.

Why do people visit their relatives? People visit their relatives for various reasons, but I think the main reason is to maintain family ties and show love and care. Visiting relatives also helps to create lasting memories and strengthen relationships. For example, my family has a tradition of gathering for Sunday lunch every week, and it's a great way to catch up and bond with each other.
