1. Jorge's family.

Read Jorge's description of his family.

"I have a big family. I have a brother. His name is Pavel. We both live at home with our parents. My mother's parents – my grandparents – also live with us. I also have two sisters – their names are Teresa and Conchita. My sisters are married, and they both have children. Teresa has a daughter – her name is Rosa – and Conchita has two sons called Ivan and Pedro. Ivan is 19 and Pedro is 17. We all live in the same street, and at the weekend we usually have lunch together. Sometimes in the summer we all go to the beach. We spend a lot of time together. What about you? What's your family like?"
