Grade 5 Writing – Your Favourite Relative

In this writing task, students practise descriptive writing in English. They learn how to talk about a family member, describe appearance and personality, and write clear, well-organised sentences of at least 40 words. 

Sample Answer (Model Paragraph)

My favourite relative is my aunt. She is a kind and friendly woman who always makes me feel happy. She has long black hair, bright eyes, and a warm smile that makes everyone around her comfortable. My aunt is patient and helpful, and she listens to me whenever I have a problem. She likes cooking delicious food and telling funny stories. At weekends, she takes me to the park or helps me with my homework. I love spending time with her because she makes every day special.
