Match the pictures with the right words : Of all my relatives, I like Aunt Emily the best . She’s my
mother’s youngest sister. She has never married, and
she lives alone in a small village near Bath. She’s in her
late fifties, but she’s still quite young in spirit. She has a
fair complexion, thick brown hair which she wears in a
bun, and dark brown eyes. She has a kind face, and
when you meet her, the first thing you notice is her
lovely, warm smile. Her face is a little wrinkled now,
but I think she is still rather attractive. She is the sort of
a person you can always go to if you have a problem.

She likes reading and gardening, and she goes for long
walks over the hills with her dog, Buster. She’s a very
active person. Either she’s making something, or
mending something, or doing something to help
others. She does the shopping for some of the old
people in the village. She’s extremely generous, but
not very tolerant with people who don’t agree with
her. I hope that I am as happy and contented as she is
when I’m her age.
