Amy is looking at some pictures on her smartphone. Her friend Samantha comes and sits next to her.

Samantha Hey Amy, what are you looking at?

Amy I’m looking at the pictures of my parents’ wedding anniversary. Would you like to see them?

Samantha Yes of course, so I will finally see what your brother looks like.

Amy Well, that’s my brother, William, over there standing at the back. He is in his early twenties, he is tall and has short black hair. In the picture, he is wearing dark green trousers, black sneakers, a white t-shirt and a checked shirt. Almost all his women friends are in love with him; they think he is so good-looking and funny.

Samantha And who’s the boy with brown curly hair and a striped t-shirt sitting in front of him?

Amy That’s my younger brother, Charlie. He is 12. He’s cute, isn’t he? But I must say he can be a real pain in the neck sometimes. And the middle-aged woman, who’s playing with him, is my mother, Jane. She is rather short. She has mid-length red hair. She’s wearing her favourite light blue skirt with her dark grey jacket. She’s not wearing a necklace. In general, she likes to dress casually and doesn’t wear any jewellery. She’s very cheerful and outgoing. Everybody loves her.

Samantha And I suppose the handsome man with brown hair and a beard is your father?

Amy Yes, that’s my father. His name is Bob. When he goes to work, he usually wears a suit, but in the picture he is wearing a pair of jeans, a plain, light blue shirt and a dark blue sweater over his shoulders.

Samantha He looks very serious! Is he strict?
