MODERN FAMILIES

1. Hi! My name’s Jeremy

. I’m sixteen and I’m rather tall for my age.

I’ve got short brown hair and brown eyes. I live in New Zealand. There are

three children in my family. My brother is tall and strong. He is studying at

medical school. He is twenty years old and he wants to be a surgeon like

our dad. He is a very good student as he is hard-working and responsible.

My sister Jane is rather short and slim. She’s got brown hair and green eyes.

She is in her last year at school and she is doing Biology, Chemistry, Maths

“A” level exams to become a doctor too. So, they both take after our dad

who works as a surgeon in a large hospital. My mum is a teacher. As for me,

I don’t know what I want to be.

2. Hello! My name’s Trisha.

I’m seventeen, and I’ve got a sister called

Liz. Liz is fifteen and she goes to school. Our mum and dad are divorced, so

we live with our mum in Colchester, England. We live in a house. Our dad

has a flat in the centre of town and we spend every weekend with him. I’m

fond of listening to pop music, surfing the Net and cycling. Liz and I are also

into swimming and every Sunday we go swimming with our dad.

3. My name is Tom

and I live in Dublin, Ireland. I live with my parents

and my brother. I have a lot of relatives. My grandmother lives next door.

My aunt Mary, my mum’s sister, lives in our street too. I’ve got two cousins.

We see them almost every weekend. My uncle Alan, my dad’s brother, lives

in Cork. We visit him and his family every Christmas.
