Families
Read and listen
| Amina: Hello Kofi! How is your family? Kofi: Hello Amina. My family is very good. I have one brother and two sisters. We live with our parents. Amina: Are you close to them? Kofi: Yes, we are very close. We talk every day and help each other. My parents are kind and patient. Amina: That sounds peaceful. Kofi: Yes, it is. For example, last week my sister had a problem at school. We all sat together and talked. My parents listened to her and gave advice. She felt better after that. Amina: That is a nice example of harmony. Kofi: Thank you. And we also see our uncles and aunts often. They bring food, and we laugh together. Amina: I’m happy for you. My family is not like that. Kofi: Oh, I’m sorry. What is it like? Amina: I have one brother and one sister, but we are not close. We often argue about small things. Kofi: That sounds difficult. Amina: Yes. For example, yesterday my brother took my phone. I got angry, and we shouted at each other. My parents also started arguing, so the house was very noisy. Kofi: That is not easy. Amina: No, it is not. My uncle and aunt do not visit us, so we are not a big family together. Kofi: I hope things can change for your family. Amina: Thank you, Kofi. I hope so too. |
