Listen to the text, the family's interests and read it out loud in the same manner the family's interests.0:03
I'm from Broxton, which is a small city in north of England.0:18
My rather large family lives not far from the centre at number 12 High Street.0:23
There are five of us.0:29
My parents, my elder brother Harold, My younger sister Daisy and me.0:31
We all have different interests and hobbies.0:38
Harold is fond of music.0:42
He can play the guitar and the flute.0:45
And I can say he is a true professional.0:48
He plays the piano, but not very well.0:51
Last year he joined our drama school and takes part in all our performances.0:55
My younger sister Daisy is interested in music too, but she prefers folk music.1:03
Daisy and I go in for sports.1:12
We swim in the swimming pool.1:15
In spring, summer, autumn and winter.1:17
Daisy swims better than me.1:22
All the family often goes to the cinema and to the theater.1:26
We like to watch TV shows at home.1:31
I like drawing and painting.1:35
I often visit picture galleries and art exhibitions.1:38
I think I know a lot about different painters because I often read their biographies.1:43
My parents are interested in history.1:50
They often tell us interesting stories about what happened in the world many centuries ago.1:54
Yesterday my mum told me about ancient Egyptians.2:00
They lived about 5,000 years ago and believed in afterlife.2:05
They built high pyramids, houses for their dead pharaohs.2:11
Egyptians put food, clothes and furniture in the pyramids.2:17
Those people could prepare bodies for afterlife and kept them in pyramids as mummies.2:23
There are a lot of pyramids near the Nile, the biggest river in Egypt.2:30
The largest and most famous of them all is the Great pyramid of Cheops.2:37
That pharaoh ruled Egypt long ago and was very rich.2:43
He had a lot of gold and beautiful clothes.2:48
He liked good food too.2:52
Cheops began to build his pyramid.2:55
As soon as he became king.2:57
His people built the pyramid for 30 years.3:00
The work was very hard.3:04
Cheops spent all his gold to make his pyramid built bigger and better than the other pyramids.3:06
I think pyramids ask a lot of questions that people can't answer yet.3:14
Next week my mom and I are going to the British Museum to look at the mummies and learn more about ancient Egyptians.3:19
