My father has a farm in the North of England and he is very busy with- the work on the farm. My mother is a housewife. She has a lot of work to do about the house and she is very busy too. Every summer I go to see my parents and my relatives. I have two sisters and one brother. My elder sister is 26. She is married and has a son Nick. He is 6 and is in the first grade at school. My sister is a doctor, and her husband is a lawyer. It is a well-paid job and he makes a lot of money. My younger sister’s name is Ann. She is 20 and is in her first year at Oxford University. My brother Ted, who is 15 lives with my parents. He is in high school. He wants to become an economist, but I’m afraid it is only a dream because he is rather lazy and my mom and dad have a lot of problems with him. Now a few words about myself. I’m 24.
