Let me introduce the Whites, an English family.

Mr. and Mrs. White have two children, a boy and a girl. The boy’s name is Henry, the girl’s name is Mary.

Their son Henry is thirteen years old. He goes to school and is a very good pupil. He likes school very much. He wants to go to a college when he leaves school. He is going to be a radio engineer.

Henry’s sister, Mary, is very young, she is only six years old. She goes to school too, but she does not like to learn her lessons. She likes to play with her doll.

Mrs. White’s mother, the children’s grandmother, lives with them in their house. She is old, she is sixty-three. She loves Mary and Henry very much and is very good to them. Mr. White says she is too good to the children. Henry and Mary love their parents and their grandmother.
