Describe one member of your family. Try to say something about his or her habits at present or in the past.


2.The Williams were interviewed for a TV programme British families today. Read the extracts and look at the family tree. Who’s talking in each case


选项：
A：Joe about Rachel
B：Emily about Sophie
C：Sophie about Molly
D：Mark about Rachel

1 Case A：‘I didn’t really like her last boyfriend – he was very unreliable and they were forever breaking up and getting back together again. Anyway, the new one seems much nicer, but sometimes it’s difficult to tell because he doesn’t speak much English. He tries his best, but then he’ll get frustrated and break into Italian, and Molly and I get very confused!
2 Case B: Of course, now that she’s a teenager, she’s much more difficult to deal with. She used to spend time at home with the family – we’d watch TV and eat takeaway pizza together on a Saturday night. But now she wants to be independent, and she and Mark are always arguing about the clothes she
wears and what time she gets home. For example, he tells her to be home by nine, but she’ll turn up at ten and act as if nothing’s wrong.
3 Case C: She’s great fun and I adore her, but I think she’s a bit out of touch. She’s constantly telling Ben that he spends too much time on the computer and that at his age she was fit and healthy because she played outside all day. Then when she comes into my room for a chat, she’ll start telling me how all teenagers today are irresponsible, and that in her day she used to go on peace marches and campaign to ban the bomb. I mean, I do care about world peace, but I think she forgets that I’m only thirteen.
4 Case D: It’s not a problem at all now that we’re older, but when I was seventeen she was only six, and I used to feel more like a father than an older brother. I often had to look after her when Mum and Dad went out, which really cramped my style! Also, she never understood the concept of ‘privacy’ – she was always going into my room and taking things without asking – I’d find books and CDs under her bed that she’d ‘borrowed’ from me.
