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.
