Task 1. SPEAKING Work in pairs. Who are the people in the photo on the rights What do you know about them? Read the text. Which family member is missing from the photo?

Posh and Becks

THE BECKHAMS are a famous family from Britain.

Becks is the nickname of David Beckham, ex-footballer of Manchester United, Real Madrid and England. Posh is the nickname of his wife, Victoria, a member of the girl-band the Spice Girls. Victoria is called 'Posh' because she loves posh, expensive clothes. She says she really likes sunglasses too, because it's easy to look cool in them! Now she is a fashion designer. Her company makes very expensive dresses, accessories and jewellery, but also ordinary clothes like jeans and jackets.

David doesn’t play football now, but he owns a football team in Miami, Florida. David has got 32 tattoos! He says they are all about the people in his life, his wife and children. David Beckham is a hero to many English football fans

The Beckhams do a lot of work for charities and they appear a lot on television. They have got four Children. Their sons are Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and their daughter is called Harper. The boys are footballers too, and hope to play for England one day.

                                                                                 Reading Strategy

 When you want to know if  a sentence fits a gap, read the sentences before and after  the gap as well as the sentence  itself, and ask  yourself  these  questions:

▪ Does it make sense?

 

• Does  it  fit grammatically? (Think  about tense, pronouns, singular and

                              plural, this/that, etc.)

                      ▪ Does it match the topic of the paragraph?

Task 11.  Read the  Reading  Strategy. Then  match  gaps  (1—4) in the text with sentences (A—E). Use the questions in the Strategy   to   check  that the sentences  fit. There  is one extra sentence  which  does not fit any of the gaps.

1	2	3	4

A.        According to the website, the answer is: around the age of 25.

B.        But other brothers and sisters get on well from an early  age.

C.        We get on well — and we don’t argue.

D.       Give your brother or sister some time alone when they need it.

E.        Most teenagers have a difficult relationship with teir brothers and sisters.

 

Task 12.  Read the  text. Check your answers to Task 11.

      According to the website GettingPersonal.co.uk, these problems are not unusual.  ¹____ They argue

a lot. In general, teenagers are not worried about their brothers and sisters when things go badly for them. And they are not proud of them things go well! 

      But most adults are very keen on their brothers and sisters and  have a good relationship. So  when does  the  situation change?   ²_________ For example, Madison is 28 years old. Her brother,Tyler, is 26. 'I remember big fights, horrible fights with Tyler,’ says Madison ‘But now our relationsnip is completely different. ³  ___________We go  out together two or three times a month  and we have a great time. We‘re interested in the same things’

     But for teenage brothers and sisters with difficult relationships, what can they do? How can  they get on well? Here are a few ideas.

➢  When your brother or sister uses your things, don’t get  angry about it —  learn to share.

➢  Imagine your brother or sister is  a friend — and  be nice!

➢  Don‘t tell people your brother or sister‘s secrets.

➢  ⁴ _______

Of course, the other answer is: just wait ten years!
