should you remain married it's simply "husband" or "wife".<;/p>;

grandparents on my mom's side!"<;/p>;

<;p>; John: "My other brothers both work for my dad in the family business."<;/p>;
<;p>; 我其他的兄弟们都为在家族企业中为我爸爸工作。<;/p>;
<;p>; Last, what does your family do for fun together? You might want to talk
about "public holidays", "hobbies" and "likes". Maybe your family enjoys
"picnicking" or "riding bikes".<;/p>;
