Unit 2

My world Test A
1. Read the text.

This week my father is painting our house. Our

house is usually cleaner than it is at the
moment. My father is also doing some work in
our living room. My mother often tells my dad
that she wants a nicer house and easier to
clean. I’m helping my dad with the work. We’re
also buying some new things like a new plasma
TV and mum’s buying a new computer for me.
Uncle Ray is working on the project, too. He’s a
plumber, so he is making the new central
heating system. Dad’s brother, Jim, is an
electrician. He’s doing all the electrical work. He
is also installing the new computer terminal in
my bedroom. It’s really cool!
My mum is trying to decide the colours she
wants for every room. I like blue, but she
doesn’t. She never listens to what I say, but she always listens to my sister. My sister’s bedroom
is next to mine. She uses my computer. I hate it when she comes into my room without asking. I
have a sign on the door which says “DO NOT ENTER”, but she still comes into my room all the
time.
