Номер 3, страница 5 - гдз по английскому языку 11 класс учебник Юхнель, Демченко

3. a) Listen to James Garcia from Vista East High School reading his school report and follow in the book. What are the two things he is most grateful to his parents for?

There is no need to say how important family is for everyone. Your family make you strong by giving you their love.

My family means the world to me. I would do anything for them. I have three siblings and we get on really well. Any time my little brother and sister need something like a new toy or some money, if I have it, it's theirs. If I don't have it, I will try my hardest to get it for them. Even with my big sister I still try to help but she's more often the one who is there for me when I need it! My parents are the two most important people in the world. I know lots of times I can seem pretty ungrateful but I appreciate everything they have done for me. The number one thing that I really appreciate and I don't know if they know this but it's how they both brought me into this world. The number two thing is how every time I get into trouble or do something stupid, like I always do, they're always on my side no matter if I'm right or wrong, they always have my back to the fullest.

Another person I really appreciate is my big brother Bobbie. He passed away a year ago, but when he was here, he always helped me whenever I got myself into trouble. He may not be here anymore, but I know sometimes when I'm in a bad mood and need help, all of a sudden, the answer to my troubles somehow just comes to my mind, it's him looking down at me helping me out.

My family may not be perfect and neither I am, but I'll tell you what, you will never find another family quite like mine.
