Question

3. Read the story about Irene’s family. Check your comprehension choosing the right variant. I’m Irene. I’m 21. My dad is quite old, he’s 65. My mum’s about 20 years younger. I have two brothers. Tom, who is five years older than me, is a computer programmer so he’s good at computers. His main interest is music and he’s fond of playing the guitar and the piano. He’s married to Jessica, she is a librarian, but I am not sure that she is interested in her job because she’s always busy with other things such as cooking or knitting. They are in Newcastle, and have two children – a boy and a girl. My other brother, Steve, is far away in Canada. He’s a ski instructor and his wife Julia is a dancing master. They have three children, so I have two nieces and three nephews. At Christmas my bag is always full of presents for them. I’ve got eight cousins but only one grandparent, my grandmother on my mother’s side. Her home is also very far from us so I have chats with her over the Internet. My mum has two brothers and sisters and my dad has three brothers and two sisters. In England the typical family is husband and wife and two children, and a dog and a cat. We have two cats. They were my cats but now they are with my mum. We also had a dog, a golden collie, but he was very sick – so that was a sad story. My dad was a businessman but now he is retired. He’s a very interesting man for me and he is the head of the family. My mum is a housewife. She’s very kind, generous and hardworking.
