READING
Read the text and answer the questions.

My dad
My dad works in the centre of town and we live in the country. He’s got a fantastic old car, but does he drive
to work? No, he doesn’t. Every day he goes by train. His car stays at home! He loves it! He spends hours every
Saturday and Sunday with it. He cleans it, he repairs it. He even talks to it! We can’t touch it. It’s his main
hobby and definitely his best friend!

My brother, Luke
Our house isn’t very quiet in the evenings. My brother, Luke, enjoys playing the guitar in his room. He belongs
to a school band. He thinks that’s awesome. Sometimes they all come and play in his room! They’re good
and they often play at parties and earn some money. How much do they earn? A lot! Lucky Luke! He’s got
an electric guitar now. It’s really loud, and my dad isn’t happy about that.

s
My sister, Hannah

ge
I like reading books and watching films, but my sister, Hannah, doesn’t do normal hobbies like those! She loves

buys things online. Her room is full of clothes, and she collects shoes – nearly a hundred pairs! Where does she
