Mi pariente favorita es mi abuela Josephine. Ella es la madre de mi padre. Tiene noventa y tres anos! Ella es muy vieja pero inteligente y chistosa. Es una mejor muy trabajadora porque ella es profesora,madre, y abuela. Tiene cuatro hijos y cinco nietos pero su favorita es mi! Mi abuela viene de Eastfield. Sus padres y parientes vienen de Ireland. Josie es alta y tiene pelo blanco. Le gusta leer pero ella esta ciega. Ahora le gusta eschuchar libros de grabadora. No le gusta gatos o la palabra "aburrido".

I have to write a 12-sentence paragraph on my favorite relative (my grandmother) and I just want to be sure that I worded everything correctly and it all makes sense ...

Also, I wasn't sure how to say "books on tape" - hense, "libros de grabadora", but if anyone has a better way to phrase that, please let me know. If anyone sees any errors of any kind, let me know. Thank you so much!! And good luck to everyone else with their finals!

peace out

I just used "libros grabados"--it means "recorded books", which is basically the same as "books on tape." You also want to use "es" before "ciega" if she's permanently blind; if it were temporary, it'd be "está".

Good luck :)

I'd say "audiolibros"- that's what I've seen and heard, anyway, although I don't know if that's the universally accepted phrase for it.
