My Family Robert was a very young lawyer when he married Mary Anne. They had 3 children, and they all lived in New York. Their kids were raised with the little money they got from their jobs, that even when they had good professions, it was not enough. They were good students because they learned from their parents that in order to get what they wanted, they had to make an effort. Now all of them are professionals and work in different places. James, the older brother, is a very professional chef. Every day he uses a lot of instruments to prepare his dishes. Some of them are knives, pots, spatulas, pans, spoons, and other home appliances such as the stove, the mixer and the blender. Now, he is working on the most famous hotel restaurant in the city. The middle sister Emily, is a professional dentist who works in her consulting rooms near her home. Her work is to treat people with teeth problems. To treat their patients, she usually uses instruments such as mirrors, dental flosses, fluoride, latex gloves, and dental chairs. She enjoys her work and always cares about their patients. Steve, who is the younger brother, is known as the kindest veterinarian in the city. He is always willing to help pets that are in pain. To assist them, he uses vaccinations, scissors, x-rays, bandages, and medicines. After his services at his veterinary clinic, he usually picks up his mother Mary Anne, who is known for her participation on very popular movies and films. They all still live together, enjoy their time as a family and share their salaries, with which sometimes they make savings to go on vacations.
