Give a short talk on the topic “A family member”. Say 7–10 sentences. Use the linkers from the lesson (firstly / first of all, secondly, finally; on the one hand, on the other hand, however, at last, etc.). Use the following questions as a plan. Record yourself on audio or video. Provide the transcript to support your answer. Who are you going to talk about? What does he/she look like? What is he/she like? (kind, funny, clever, etc.) What does he/she do every day? (job, hobbies, daily routine) What do you like doing together?

Today, I want to talk about my younger brother, Alex. First of all, he has a very friendly face, with short brown hair and bright blue eyes. Secondly, he is a bit taller than me, but he’s very slim and always looks well-dressed. On the one hand, Alex is a very kind person who always helps others, especially when they need support. On the other hand, he’s also very funny and has a great sense of humor, which makes everyone laugh. However, sometimes he can be a bit shy, especially when meeting new people.

Every day, Alex has a pretty busy routine. Firstly, he works as a software developer, which requires a lot of focus and concentration. Secondly, in the evenings, he enjoys playing video games or reading science fiction books. Finally, at weekends, he loves going for a run or meeting friends to hang out. What I really like doing together is going to the movies or playing board games. It’s always fun, and we get along really well.
