Answer 1

1. I would probably live in this type of area:
URBAN (Make it a big city like Tehran or Isfahan)

2.My parents would make a living:
Many people in Iran (especially in the older generations cannot read or write.) If that is the case, your father could do something like working in a public bath, and your mother could be a housewife. If they are literate, your father could have any number of jobs, but your mother would have many less opportunities.

3. In my free time I would:
Maybe play soccer, maybe take part in an Islamic youth group of some kind.

4. Future career choices might be:
Depending upon the education you received, you could probably (a) Become a Muslim cleric, (b) Join the military or a paramilitary organization (like the armed forces, the Pasdaran, which is the Revolutionary Guard Corps or the Basiij a volunteer militant organization.)
(c) After learning a trade, many jobs like carpenter, electrician, etc. would be open to you.
(d) Become a merchant
(e) If you were without resources or skills you could also find work as a manual laborer

5. I would marry at age:
I'd say whatever the age of adulthood would be (at least for the male), perhaps aas early as 18.

6. Life for my sister:
In a strict Islamic society, your sister's choices may be limited to traditional female roles (wife, mother, etc), however as long as she was veiled in public I'd think she'd have a lot of opportunity in everyday life. As long as she conformed to Islamic law, I imagine life would be much like it is anywhere else, as long as she "knew her place" in Islamic society. She would probably be compelled to take part in many Islamic political movements, going to mass demonstrations, etc.
Fridays she'd go to the mosque, sitting in the women's section.

7. Life for my brother:
Your brother should have a lot more opportunties for a less restictive life than your sister would. As long as he didn't violate Islamic laws, life would be pretty much as you are familiar with.
As with your sister (and everyone else), Friday is reserved for going to the local mosque.

8. My house would be:
In the cities, your family would probably live in an apartment or small house.
