     Boys and girls, I'm Mr. Green. Let's begin our English class now. This time I want to talk

about my family. Then I want you to say something about your families.

     There are seven people in my family. They are my parents, my two sisters, my brother, his

wife(妻子) and I. In England, a family like this is a big one. My father has a factory. It isn't very

big. It makes all kinds of boats. My brother is a doctor. He works in a hospital. His wife works

in a hospital, too. She is a nurse. My two sisters are students. One wants to be a teacher. She

studies hard and well. The other likes singing very much and can sing very well. So she wants to

be a singer. I'm now in China teaching English and learning Chinese. My mother stays at home.

Can you guess what she does at home? Yes, she does housework. She is a housewife.
