Oral Presentation: Family (Level: Beginner)

You may write simple information on your display about each family member, such as name, age, place of residence, but no complete sentences. You will need to introduce your family to me in complete German sentences. If your family tree is very complex, you may simplify it, but you should use as many different family members as possible. You must use at least 10 different family relationship words (e.g., mother, father, parents, son, daughter, brother, sister, brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, cousin etc.). You should be able to talk about your family for at least 3 minutes in German by yourself.

How are they (expensive, comfortable, old etc.)? What do you like/dislike about your room? You are expected to talk by yourself for at least 2 minutes without any notes.
