우리 가족을 소개합니다

안녕하세요! 저는 민수예요. 저는 한국 사람이고, 스무 살이에요. 오늘은 우리 가족을 소개할게요.

우리 가족은 네 명이에요. 아빠, 엄마, 누나, 그리고 저예요. 우리 가족은 서울에 살아요.

아빠는 회사원이에요. 아빠는 키가 크고 힘이 세요. 아빠는 운동을 좋아해요. 저랑 같이 농구를 해요.

엄마는 요리를 잘해요. 엄마는 친절하고 따뜻한 사람이에요. 엄마가 만든 김치찌개가 정말 맛있어요.

누나는 대학생이에요. 누나는 저보다 두 살 많아요. 누나는 음악을 좋아해요. 기타를 잘 쳐요. 저한테 노래를 불러 줘요.

우리 가족은 주말에 함께 시간을 보내요. 보통 공원에 가서 산책을 해요. 그리고 맛있는 음식을 먹어요.

우리 가족은 서로 많이 사랑해요. 저는 우리 가족이 정말 좋아요! 😊

우리 가족을 소개합니다

几 (jǐ) and 多少 (duōshǎo) are both words in Chinese that can be translated as "how many" or "how much" in English, but they are used in different contexts and convey slightly different meanings.
几 (jǐ) is usually used to ask about a small quantity, it can be roughly under 10, the number is vague.
For example:
你有几个兄弟？ (Nǐ yǒu jǐ gè xiōngdì?)
How many brothers do you have?
我这里有几张照片？ (Wǒ zhèlǐ yǒu jǐ zhāng zhàopiàn?)
How many photos do I have here?
现在几点？
Xiànzài jǐ diǎn
What time is it now?

多少 (duōshǎo) is usually used to ask about a bigger quantity. When the number is not certain but you assume it's definitely more than ten, it's better to ask the question with 多少 (duōshao) instead of 几 (jǐ). For example:
这个东西多少钱？ (Zhège dōngxi duōshǎo qián?)
How much does this thing cost?
你的工资多少？ (Nǐ de gōngzī duōshǎo?)
How much is your salary?

Note that in some contexts, 几 (jǐ) and 多少 (duōshǎo) can be used interchangeably, especially in spoken Chinese. In this case, the choice of word may depend on the speaker's style or emphasis.
