Teacher: Tell me about your family.

Student: Well, my 1……………… is relatively small, just my parents, my two brothers and me. But
both of my parents come from very large families so my 2………………...is very large – I have 25
cousins! Our 3………………… are pretty chaotic, but fun. We’re a very 4………………….…………...
Even though we don’t live together any more, the 5……………………. are still very strong. When
we were little, there wasn’t very much 6……………………… between us. I think it’s because we
had a very 7………………. Both of my parents played a very 8………………………in our school
life, and our home life, and they taught us to resolve our con icts in a very fair way. I consider myself
very lucky.

Teacher: Who are you most similar to in your family?

Student: Well, you can see a very clear 9………………………between my brothers and me, but ev-
eryone tells me that the 10………………………between me and my maternal grandmother is very

of her at my age and we’re quite alike. Other than that, I think I have my father’s temperament –
we’re both very stubborn! But, thankfully, I also inherited his mathematical brain!
