A. READING.

Part 1. Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D.

Andrea – There are six of us in our family, my parents, the twins, my elder brother, Ted and me. Ted is a good ten years older than me and the twins – they are girls – are two years younger than me. We had a good childhood out /in the countryside. My parents were always busy with the farm so we didn’t get the help with schoolwork and things like that that children get today. But my parents were very loving, especially my father. I regret not helping more around the farm because now I realise that it must have been very hard for my parents, especially as my grandparents lived so far away.

Bob – Both my parents were in the theatre and they had made quite a name for themselves on the stage. As a child I remember our house being constantly full of famous people, laughing and talking. My two sisters and I would be brought down by our nanny to kiss our parents goodnight and then we would be packed off to the nursery. That’s as much as we ever really saw of them at that time. And I never saw my grandparents as they had died before I was bom. It’s better now, but it has left a mark on all of us – we ring each other now and again, but that’s about all. I think my father understands this, but I am not sure my mother does.

Camillia – I left home when I was sixteen to live with my grandparents in Sydney. My parents had a farm in the outback and I needed to go to college. It was quite difficult for me to leave my four younger brothers and sisters behind as we were quite a tight-knit group, even though the age gap was fairly wide – as you can imagine there was no one else to play with out in the middle of nowhere! When I got fed up I’d give them a ring, and my dad would always put me right – a tower of strength he was. My grandparents were great too – helped me with my homework, took me on trips, things like that. I’ll never forget that.

David – I am always telling my kids – your family is always there for you, whatever happens. You might think we don’t understand you and all that rubbish, but no one else will look after you the way the family will. Family is important to me. When I was young, I didn’t have much of family life. We four kids were quite
close in ages so that helped enormously, but we didn’t see much of our parents. In fact, we saw more of granny and grandpa as they lived with us, but they were a bit strict. We all got on and we knew that our parents cared for us. But there wasn’t much in the way of trips, treats, things that nowadays people take for granted.
