Step 1 - Listening

Family

You are going to listen to ten questions about relatives.

  • Listen to the recording.
  • While listening, think about the folllowing question:
    • Welke van de vragen zou je nu al in het Engels kunnen beantwoorden? Probeer ze ook daadwerkelijk te beantwoorden in de pauzes tussen de vragen.

Now do the exercises.

Assignment 2

Listen again. In the pauses, answer the questions in your own words and in complete sentences. Use your imagination.

Step 2 - Reading

Family and families
Before you start reading the text, discuss the following questions with a classmate.

  • How important is family to you?
  • Would you miss them if you lived far away?

Now read the following text and answer the questions.

I don’t live with my parents now because I’m married and live in New York. My mum and dad live in Rome and my husband’s parents live in Montreal, Canada. We are a little sad because we don’t see them a lot but when we get together we have a wonderful time.

One of my sisters lives in Rio, Brazil, and the other one, who is 16, is at home in Rome. My husband has only one brother. He is at home in Montreal. Next year he wants to go to Paris to study European history. We got married one year ago in Rome.

All my family and his family were at the wedding. We had a fantastic time, and our honeymoon in Venice was beautiful. We would like to have a son and a daughter. We hope they’ll have a beautiful life, maybe in America, maybe in Africa or Asia or Europe.

Step 3 - Vocabulary

To be able to do all the assignments correctly, you need to know some words and sentences.
For each theme there are word lists ready in Wozzol, with which you can practice:

Vocabularylist Relatives
  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)
  • Do the exercise.

Tip!
There are many ways to study vocabulary. You can read the words aloud or copy them. The most important rule is never to spend more than 10 minutes studying words. Every minute you spend longer is a waste of time.
