Unit 1 Reading

Ni hao! My name is Li Mengtian.

My family lives in the south of Beijing. Our flat is on the twenty-second floor. It is not big, but we have a nice balcony. I like to look at the nice view of the city there. I often help my parents in the kitchen and share stories about school with them.

Hello! I’m Neil.

I live in a town 15 miles from London. My family and I live in a house with two floors. We love to relax in our living room and chat over a cup of tea. I like the garden best. My brother Tom and I like to water the flowers. We always have fun with our dog there too!

Ahlan! I’m Femi. 

I’m from a village near Cairo. There are seven people in my family. We often eat our meals together on a carpet. Next to our farmhouse is a yard. We keep some hens there. My sister and I like to collect the eggs. That’s my favourite part of the day. We also have a cotton field by the Nile River. During the busy season, we children often help in the field.
