An English family

We shall speak about an English family. It is a very big family. In fact there are really three families. Read about them and then make a family tree.

Alice and Arthur Heath are grandparents. They've got one son - Harold. They live with Harold and his wife. Arthur Heath is 70 years old. He had his birthday last week.

Fred Beaumont is a widower. He spends a lot of time with his grandchildren.

Bertha Beauhiont died in 1990.

The Beaumonts had two daughters - Jean and Betty. Jean married Harold Heath.

They've got three children - one girl and two boys.

Harold Heath's father used to work on the railways, but Harold works for a car manufacturer.

Betty's husband is John King.

The Kings have four children. The names of the children are Shirley, Johnny, Christine and baby Sandra.

Elizabeth Heath is 16, and she is still at school. She is studying for her exams. Her favourite subject is Spanish.

David and Paul Heath are Arthur Heath' grandsons.

David spends a lot of time with his grandfather. They love trains, and old Mr. Heath is always telling David about the railways in the old days.

Robert King is Betty King's nephew. His father George is John King's brother. Robert has a wife Gwen and a little daughter Tracey who is going to be two years old next month.

Robert King's sister married Alan Marshall last year. They went to their wedding in an old bus.

Brian King loves cars. Brian is still at school. He doesn't like school much. He wants to leave school and work in a garage. Brian is fifteen, and so he's going to leave school next year. He loved his sister's wedding. He rode in an old bus and learnt about its engine.

2. Draw the family tree of this family and speak about each member of the family.

How is your mother? She is fine, thanks.

How is your father? He is fine, thanks.

How is your sister? She is fine, thanks.

How is your brother? He is fine, thanks.

And how are you? I am fine too. Thank you.

I have a father,

I have a mother,

I have a sister,

I have a brother,

Father, mother, sister, brother

Hand in hand with one another.

How do you do, Hatty?

How do you do?

I hope you are well, Hatty.

I hope you are too.

Breakfast in the morning,

Dinner in the day,

Tea comes after dinner,

Then comes time to play,

Supper in the evening

When the sky is red,

Then the day is over

And we go to bed.

Magic crystal, tell me true:

In the future what will I do?

Will I be a writer? No, you won't.

Will I be a doctor? Yes, you will,

(a teacher, a sailor, a pilot, a singer, a soldier, a dancer, an actor, a worker).
