The Royal Family.
At present the British royal family is headed by Queen Elizabeth. When the Queen was born on the 21st of April 1926, her grandfather, King George V, was on the throne and her uncle was his heir. The death of her grandfather and the abdication of her uncle brought her father to the throne as King George VI.
As a child she studied constitutional history and law as well as art and music. In addition she learned to ride. As she grew older she began to take part in public life, making her first broadcast at the age of 14.
The marriage of the young Princess Elisabeth to Philip, Duke of Edinburgh took place in 1947. She came to the throne after her father's death in 1952 and was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1953.
Among Queen Elizabeth's many duties are the regular visits to foreign countries and especially those of the Commonwealth. The Queen has done much to signify the formalities of the monarchy, including allowing the ВВС to make a documentary film about the every day of the royal family. She also started the tradition of the “walkabout”, when she walks among the public crowds and stops to talk to some people.
The Queen's heir is Charles, Prince of Wales, who was born in 1948, married Lady Diana Spencer and has two children, Prince William and Prince Harry. The death of his wife, Diana, Princess of Wales (often called in mass media Princess Di) in 1997 turned out to be one of the greatest shocks for many people in Great Britain and abroad. In spite of the gossips and contradictions in mass media concerning her personality, she won the affection of great number of people by her beauty and generosity. She was one of the most popular members of the Royal Family widely admired for her commitment to helping children and supporting the aged and ill, particularly AIDS sufferers.
The Queen's other children are Princess Ann, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. The Queen Mother, the widow of the late King George VI, celebrated her ninetieth birthday in 1990. The Queen's only sister, Princess Margaret,
14
Countess of Snowdon, is well-known for her charity work.

Unit II: Appearance
Our family is not very large. We are four. We think that the ideas about a family often depend on its members' appearance. That's why we try to look nice every day. Our father is a tall, handsome, broad-shouldered and strong man with dark clever eyes and a very great forehead. He's always clean-shaved and immaculately dressed.
Our mother is a slim, elegant and charming middle-aged woman who does her best to look younger than she is. She has rather small features and a fair complexion. She likes to be well dressed. She wears her hair shoulder length. I think she is very beautiful.
My sister Natasha is neither tall nor small. She is middle-sized and plump. She has an upright carriage. Her oval face is touched with freckles in summer. Natasha is fair-haired and blue-eyed. In fact she looks like our mother. My sister has long eyelashes and a turned up nose. I think she is a pretty girl. But what I don't like about her is that she spends much time before the mirror.
