understanding and very nice. His name is George and he is from London. My mother
is a secretary and she works with my father. She is thirty-five years old and she is a
very caring person who is always ready to help others. Her name is Laura. She is
from Portugal but now that she is married to my father, she lives in Manchester. I
have got a brother called Tom. He is seven years old and he is a very naughty boy.
He is always nagging me and he wants me to play with him. I can’t spend a lot of
time playing with him, because I have to think about my future career. I want to be
a famous pianist. I have to practise a lot, so I don’t have much time to do other
things. We all have to make choices and I decided that I want to play the piano. It’s
life!
