There are four people in the twins’ family. They are the twins, their father and their mother.
The twins’ names are Lucy and Lily. They are fourteen. They are in the same class in the NO.1 Middle School. They are very good students. They not only work very hard but also sing very well. They want to join the music club. Lucy wants to play the piano. Lily can play the guitar.
Their father, Mr. King, is a teacher. He teaches English in a school near his home. Their mother, Mrs. King, is a teacher, too. She teaches Chinese. Mr. and Mrs. King are in different schools. But they have the same hobby — play the guitar.
Hi! I'm Tom, the cat. The dog is Huck. We live with our master Miss Brown in New York. Miss Brown gives us the names after the book Tom Sawyer and HuckleberryFinn. In the book, Tom and Huckleberry are friends. Miss Brown hopes (希望) we can be friends too.
I'm two years old. I like playing ball games with Huck. Huck is good at them too. Sleeping is also my hobby. I feel very good to sleep in the warm sun. Huck is a tall and strong dog. He likes running in the park with Miss Brown every afternoon. I don't go with them. I usually watch TV at home.
Miss Brown likes travelling with us. We are going to California this summer. It is great, right?

Boys and girls, let's begin our English class now. This class we learn about family. First 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, my brother's wife 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. My brother's wife works in this 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 teaching English and learning Chinese in China. My mother stays at home. What does she do at home? She does housework at home. She is a housewife.
