Describing peoples from Nisaa Ardhita

A. Listen and choose the word they say from the options below!

 

My Family

I'd like to tell you about some members of my family. This is my (Sister/Mother) Helen. She's young, slim and (Attractive/Attraction). She's got red Curly hair, a pretty snub nose and (Round/Rosey) cheeks. Her eyes are green which I think match her (Ear/Hair) rather well. She likes to dress casually, and most of the time she just (Where/Wears) jeans and a jumper.

This here is a picture of Auntie Mable. She is short and somewhat (Plum/Plump) . She's very elegant, though. Her straight, (Blonde/Brown) hair is cut short and she always wears a bob. She's also fond of (Hats/Hate) which is not terribly trendy these days. But I suppose you don't always have to look (Comfortable/Fashionable) to look good. I have no idea how old she is, but I'm guessing she would say Middle-aged, which normally means the person doesn't want to be called old, but they're not young any more either. Auntie Mable is awfully chatty. Sometimes I think she never stops (Taking/Talking). Auntie Mable also loves her tiny dog, who could easily fit in her fancy handbags.

This is my (Niece/Nice) Julia, and her little brother, Jake. Julia is a toddler and Jake is only a tiny baby. They're both cheerful little kids - always smiley and (Trendy/Friendly). Julia has (Wide/Wild) brown hair which she doesn't like to comb. And Jake has hardly any hair at all. Julia has a pretty little button nose with some very sweet (Wrinkles/Freckles) around it. And Jake is a (Rough/Round)-faced little chap. They are both rather determined. They always know exactly what they want.

This is my (Cousin/Cousins), George. He is taller-than-average, and so he is a bit clumsy. He often bumps his (Head/Hair) on doorways and keeps knocking things over because of his long arms. He is also a bit overweight, so most of the time he wears comfortable baggy clothes. He says he'd like to lose (Weight/Height), so he goes running every day with his dog. Because he is rather large and he (Wear/Wears) glasses too, he is normally very shy. He doesn't talk to people much and doesn't have many friends either. I still like him a lot because he is (Gorgeous/Generous) and warm-hearted.
