Summer learning blog catch up: Day 3, activity 1

I had to write a text about. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Here's my piece of writing.

No, I wouldn't be in such a big family max would be about 2 or 3 because having a big family will stress your parents out and having to share room's with 2 other kids I would be annoyed. Having to do 9 to 7 times the washing who would do so much washing right and getting lunch ready for school and that's why I chose to not to have a large family. I already have two little sisters and they are enough.

Side note:I'm doing a catch up on my work for summer learning thing
