Jane: What is your name and where are you from?

Jane: What are you and how old are you?
Sarah: I`m a student and I`m twenty.
Jane: Sarah, do you have a family?
Sarah: Certainly. I have my parents and a younger sister Jennifer. She is seventeen. She goes to senior high school. I also have grandparents on my mother`s side. So, I have a big family.
Jane: What does your father do?
Sarah: My father has a café. It is our family business. He runs this café for more than twenty years. He was born in Milan and his café is a pizzeria.
Jane: How old is he now?
Sarah: My father is fifty-six.
Jane: And what about your mother?
Sarah: My mother is fifty-one and she is a painter. She is painting beautiful landscapes.
Jane: What is your mother`s origin?
Sarah: She is Irish. And she can`t forget the beauty of her native land. I`m also very influenced by her.
Jane: Do you have any relatives in Italy and in Ireland?
Sarah: Yes, I have them. My grandpa on my father`s side lives in Brescia. And my grandparents of my mother`s side live in Dublin. They are very old now and I try to visit them more often.
Jane: And what about your younger sister which is seventeen now? Is she doing well?
Sarah: Yes. She is a very clever and self-sufficing girl. I suppose she will succeed in life.
Jane: Do you like to be a senior sister?

Jane: Is your relationship with your younger sister friendly?

1. You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend Michael, who writes:
Dear Nick,
Thanks for your letter. You know I live in a big family, so I have to share a room with a brother or stay with a sister in the evening when our parents have a chance to go to the theatre or any other place. I should say it's very cool to have somebody you can take care of or share your interests. My brother Evan and me have the same hobby of collecting small chocolates. When we have more than thirty we make a kind of party and eat them all. We sometimes give one or two to my sister. She always looks forward to such occasions.
Now tell me about that sports club. How can you train there? What workings hours does it have? Can you have a personal tutor there?
Hope to hear from you soon! Best regards, Michael
Write a letter to Michael. In your letter: - answer his questions - ask 3 questions about his free time activities Write 100 – 140 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.
