Woman: Hello Matt. Is your mum there? It’s auntie Pamela.
Matt: Hi. Yes, but she’s rather busy. She’s reading a difficult textbook about how to write a good story.
Woman: Can I speak to your dad then?
Matt: Erm, sorry, no. His boss emailed him and told him to read something on an important website. So he’s doing that at the moment.
Woman: Well, how about your brother?
Matt: He’s reading a message from his friend about their exam.
Woman: And your sister?
Matt: Oh, she’s on her mobile. I think she’s reading all her text messages and putting some new names and addresses in her address book.
Woman: OK, well can I speak to your uncle? Is he there?
Matt: Yes, but he’s reading in the garden. He’s reading his motorbike magazine. He reads a lot, but not newspapers. He isn’t interested in those.
Woman: Well, can I talk to your cousin?
Matt: He’s reading too, so I’m not sure. It’s his birthday today and he’s reading a comic that I gave him!
Woman: And your grandfather?
Matt: He’s busy too. Sorry. He bought a new MP3 player and he’s reading the instructions! He’s going to put all his CDs on it.
Woman: And what are you doing?
Matt: Nothing! Can I help?
Woman: No, because now I can’t remember why I phoned ...

Uncle: Hi Gemma. Did you have a good game of baseball?
Gemma: Yes thanks, Uncle Bob.
Uncle: Where do you play? At the stadium?
Gemma: We can’t play there so we play in the park. It’s good there too.
Uncle: Oh! What other sports do you play now?
Gemma: Well, I really enjoy hockey. We play that at the sports club I go to. You know, the one near the beach.
Uncle: Mmm. It’s nice there. You like skating too, don’t you?
Gemma: Yes, I do. Mom comes too sometimes! We practise in the Playground because we’re not good at it yet!
Uncle: Well, it sounds like you have fun! What about volleyball? Gemma: Yes, I still play that too. My friends and I love playing on the sand best. We take our swimming costumes if it’s warm so we can go for a swim afterwards.
Uncle: Sounds great!

Pat: Hi Alan. I’m glad you’re here. Everyone in our house is so busy.
Alan: Hi Pat. What’s your sister doing then?
Pat: She’s having a pizza in the kitchen. She was too hungry to wait for lunch.
Alan: What about your aunt? She’s staying at your house, isn’t she?
Pat: Yes. She’s practising on her guitar. Can you hear her?
Alan: Wow! Yes! She’s getting quite good!
Pat: And my cousin is on the sofa with his new comic.
Alan: Do you like reading comics?
Pat: Sometimes. My grandmother’s here too today.
Alan: What’s she doing? My grandma loves tidying up when she visits us!
Pat: Mine doesn’t! No, she’s on the phone. I think, at the moment. My father’s busy too. I haven’t seen him all morning.
Alan: Why not?
Pat: There’s a problem with our roof so he’s up there repairing it.
But I think he and I are going to play tennis later.
Alan: And where’s your mother?
Pat: She’s at her art class this morning. Her paintings are really good. And I’ve got to clean my room, she says. Come and help me!
Alan: OK!
