XI. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
My family consists of four people.There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother whose name is
Marie, my brother Peter and of course me. I have quite a large extended family as well but only the four of us
live together in our apartment in a block of flats. My father is fifty-two years old, He works as an accountant
in an insurance company. He is tall and slim, has got short brown annd grey hair and blue eyes. My father
likes gardening very much as well as listening to music and reading books about political science. His special
hobbies are bird watching and travelling.
Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she works as a nurse in a
hospital. She is small and slim, has got short brown hair and green eyes. She likes bird wtching and travelling
too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some places interesting for nature watching. Since we we
have a cottage with a garden they both spend o lot of time there. My brother is sixteen. He is slim and has
short brown hair and blue eyes. He also attends high school. He is interested in computers and sports like
football and hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends.
I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the age of seventy-
eight so she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I can. Both my grandfathers died
from cancer because they are smokers, which was really a great tragedy because I didn’t get a chance to
know them. My other grandmother died just a few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousines.
The cousine I’m closest to is my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in common because we are both
eighteen and so we are good friends.
My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping out because
everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing up, the vacuuming and the
shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as well. My brother is responsible for the dusting
and the mopping. He also has to clean his own room. Even though my brother and I sometimes fight about
who has to do what job, we are still very close. I am also very close t omy parents and I can rely on them to
help me. My parents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seems they always have some
prject or another that they are working on. They respect each other’s opinions and even if they disagree they
can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a family like ours.
