B Kyra wants to introduce her family. She loves food, so she uses food to talk about each member of her family. Read her speech script and choose the best answer for each question.
Hi! Let me introduce my family to you! My mother has a beautiful face with very soft skin. She has skin like a peach. My father is a little fat, but he says he’s just pear-shaped.
I have a little sister too. She has red hair, so we call her carrot top. She is really kind. I think she is as sweet as sugar. We all love her very much. My mother calls her the apple of her eye.
As for me? I like watching television and eating snacks. My parents tell me I should exercise more. Sport is not my cup of tea, but I don’t want to become a couch potato.
We have a dog. His name is Freddie. Every time he plays with his ball, he gets very excited—he goes bananas! Maybe Freddie and I can find a fun way to exercise together!
