Vanessa, my family in Vietnam
My name is Vanessa and I am a nice girl and I get along well with people. My name originates in England from the Irish writer Jonathan Swift and from Latin translated means “Queen of butterflies” and translated from Greek means “the appearing, the shining”. My mother went to Germany at the age of 18 to learn German and to study. Then she met my father and a few months later, they got married.
Something that makes me special are the many scars I have and the fact that I like to be alone.
If I had to leave my home, I would take my family; food and water should not be missing so we don’t die of hunger or thirst!
My favourite food is spaghetti!
And now I would like to introduce my family:
Mum: I love her a lot, she is patient and reliable.
Dad: He is pretty determined and friendly.
Niklas: He is a great cousin, always available when I need him.
Karsten: He is my uncle and very nice.
Jutta : is the mother of Nico, she is a great nan.
Sieghart : is my poppy, very nice and funny.
Bac Hang: She is my aunt, she’s great, very nice and always there for me.
Bac Hai: He is the brother of my mother.
Ba Ahn: is my nan, she is lovely and hard-working.
Ong dien: He is my blood poppy, but he died during the Vietnam war.
Ong: He can only speak Vietnamese, he is funny and reliable.
Opa Gerd: He is my poppy, he is totally funny and nice.
Andre: is my uncle, he is a professional diver and also pretty funny.
Julia: is my aunt, she’s a professional potter, she’s great and I am her sunshine.
Herald: is Julia’s husband, thus my uncle. He is extremely nice and funny.
Nino: is my dog, he is very playful and in the flat he is very calms
Amand: was my dog before that, unfortunately she died on 1/8/2018.
