Dear Yoko

Let me tell you about my family. I live with my mum, my dad and my big sister. We live in

California. My mum's name is Carmen. She's Mexican and she speaks English and Spanish.

She's a Spanish teacher. She's short and slim, she's got long, brown hair and brown eyes. My

dad's name is David. He's American. He's tall and a little fat! He's got short brown hair and blue

eyes. He works in a bank. My sister Shania is 14 and she loves listening to music. She listens to

music all the time! She's got long brown hair and green eyes, like me. I've got long hair too.

We've got a pet dog, Brandy. He's black and white and very friendly.

Write soon and tell me about your family.

Love

Kelly

I live in a big house with my mum, my dad and my big brother. We live in London. My mum's name is
Lucy. She's British and is an English teacher. My dad's name is Wayne. He's Australian and he's very
tall and strong. He works in an office. My big brother is 18 and he goes to university. He has short,

My favourtie meal is breakfast. From Monday to Friday I go to school early so I have a quick breakfast. I usually

have cereals with milk or sometimes I have toast and jam, but the weekend is different!
..........................................................................................................................................................................

On Saturdays and Sundays, my dad cooks an English breakfast for everyone in our family. A typical English
..........................................................................................................................................................................

breakfast is egg, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans (beans in tomato sauce). Then we
