All about my family!
C Gregory lives in New Zealand. He is emailing his online friend Tony. Read Gregory’s email and complete the notes.
Hi Tony,
How are you? I want to tell you about my family. You know my family name is Armstrong. This name means someone with strong arms.
My brother, John, has very strong arms! He is 14 years old. He loves climbing mountains. He can climb for a long time. I am 12 years old. And I love playing football.
My father is a doctor. He works hard. He likes reading. We have hundreds of books in our house. My father also enjoys swimming. Sometimes, he swims in races. He often wins! He has strong arms, like my brother.
My mother has a great job. She is a teacher. She teaches young children. She likes listening to piano music.
We all enjoy being outside. Sometimes, we go hiking in the mountains. Other times, we ride bikes in a park.
Tell me about your family!
Cheers,
Gregory
