LAURA'S FAMILY
My name’s Laura and this is my family. My father’s name is David. He is forty-one
years old and he works in a hospital. My mother’s name’s Sylvia. She’s forty years
old and she works as a schoolteacher. My parents met twelve years ago. They went
on a cruise with some friends and they fell in love there. My dad always says it was
love at first sight! They got married in 2000. My older brother, Kevin, was born in
2001. He’s eleven years old now. Kevin isn’t a good student. He always forgets his
homework and he often gets detention. He thinks he’s the best footballer in the
world! I was born in 2003, so I’m nine. My grades aren’t so bad, but I don’t like
maths. My favourite school subject is art and my dad says I’ve got a creative soul.
I’ve got a younger brother. His name’s Samuel. He’s twelve months old and he’s
very cheerful.
My dad’s parents are Joe and Miranda. Joe is my favourite granddad. He’s nice, but
he’s totally deaf. Most of the time, he doesn’t know what I’m saying. That’s cool
because we sometimes play tricks on him. We move our lips without making a
sound and he says: “What? Speak up”. Grandma doesn’t like that. Grandma’s name
is Miranda. She was a cook and she still bakes delicious cakes.
My mum’s parents are Rose and Homer. They are seventy-one years old. My
grandmother used to be a nurse, and my granddad was a professional
