1. Read the texts and match them to the headings. 1) What chores do the members of the writer’s family do? 2) What chores does the writer have to do at home? 3) What happened between the writer and his friend? 4) What holiday is not so noisy? 5) What present did the writer get? 6) Where did the writer celebrate his birthday? 7) Why can’t the writer see his friends? A. Christmas at my grandma’s house is always a bit mad. The house is full of relatives, and it’s quite noisy. We open presents in the morning, and then we have a big dinner. New Year’s Eve is usually more relaxed. We often watch a film or play games together. Family time is important, even when it’s a bit chaotic. B. For my last birthday, my parents organised a party. I invited all my close friends. We had pizza and cake, and we listened to music. It was great to spend time with everyone. My parents also gave me a new phone, which was a fantastic surprise. C. I live in a small village. It’s very quiet and peaceful here. The only problem is that it’s difficult to meet my friends. They live in the town, and the bus isn’t very frequent. So, I don’t see them as much as I would like to. D. I don’t really enjoy doing chores, but I know I have to help at home. My main chore is washing the dishes after dinner. It takes a long time, and I don’t like getting my hands wet! I also have to help with the cleaning at the weekends. E. We have different chores in our family. My mum does the cooking, and my dad cleans the car. My sister tidies her room, and I take out the rubbish. We all do our part to keep the house tidy and clean. F. I had an argument with my friend last week. We were both angry, but we talked about it later. We said sorry to each other, and now we are friends again. It’s important to say you’re sorry after a fight.
