I’ve got a big family with lots of aunts, uncles and
fifteen cousins. At home, I’ve got two sisters, a halfbrother and a stepbrother. We are very close as a
family and we get on well together but of course we
sometimes have rows. I get on especially well with
my cousin Fred and we have a lot in common and a
similar sense of humour.. We always have a real laugh
together and help each other out when we’ve got
problems. My best friend is called Tom and we got to
know each other when we were teammates in the
village football team. I suppose we get on well together
because we have similar interests and tastes and we
trust each other
other.. We go out together every weekend
and use Facebook to keep in touch during the week.

Talking about relationships. Complete the description.

My name’s Jason and I suppose I’m quite shy – I’ve
got a few very close friends. My girlfriend is called
Mary. We met each 1 ____ at a club about a
year ago. I suppose we get 2________ well together
because we have similar 3________ and tastes. We
go 4________ together two or three times a week
and use NetFriends to 5________ in touch the rest
of the time. I’ve got a small family with only two
cousins and one 6________ – my dad’s sister. We are
not very 7________
as a family and we hardly
ever see each other because they live in Australia. I
get on especially well 8________ my mum although
we sometimes argue a bit. My mum and I 9________
a lot in common and we have a similar 10________ of
humour. She can be very funny, you know!
