ALL IN OUR FAMILY

Let me tell you something about my family. My father is sixty-four. He’s a lot older
than my mother. She’s only fifty-one. Dad has his own business (an export business). Mum
helps him with the business. I have two brothers and two sisters, so there are seven of us
altogether in the family.
The oldest is my brother Michael. He is twenty-six. He’s married and has two
children. The next oldest is my sister Helena. She’s twenty-three. She just graduated from
university and works in bank. Then there is me. I am twenty. I’m in my second year at
university. The next youngest is Gladis. She’s eighteen and is in her last year at high school.
Then there’s Joe. He is the youngest. He’s twelve. He goes to high school.
Our family are all quite different. My father and I are both interested in swimming.
We often go to swimming-pool together. My mother is very religious and doesn’t go out a
lot. Michael likes sports and plays tennis and volleyball. Helena likes dancing and goes to
ballet classes. Sussie is very artistic. She likes to paint and draw. Michael is the cleverest of
us all. He always gets top of his class at school. So everybody is interested in different
things in our family.
