Answer:
Before writing any essay, the most fundamental thing is to first have a clear, rough idea of what your essay will talk about. An essay about family, possible pointers to talk about are:
Your family members.
What are their occupation, who are they?
What do you do with your family?
How important is family to you and why?
avoid Google Translate! It may seem as a shortcut method but trust me, relying on Google Translate is just a negative thing
