1) Listen to your teacher and try to remember some information.

I’ll show them a photo of my parents and then read:

Laura is my mother and she is 49 years old. She is really kind and friendly, she likes talking to
other people, so she is very sociable. My mom likes telling jokes; she is very fun. My mom is a
maths teacher and I think she is really intelligent. Physically… She has short brown hair and
brown eyes. She is medium height and thin.

Pablo is my father and he is 52 years old. He is fun and kind, he doesn’t like talking to other
people so he is a bit shy. My dad loves reading books and listening to music. I think he is really
intelligent too. Physically… he is medium height and fit; he has short blonde hair and brown
eyes.

They are amazing!
