am visiting
This week, I ¥isit my twin sister. We aren’t getting together often because we live a
couple of hours apart. We talk and text all the time, though, so we don’t feel too far apart.
We are telling each other our problems and try to help each other out. Another reason
we don’t see each other very often is because of my sister’s job. She is very busy. We often
make plans, but she is cancelling always our plans at the last minute. Sometimes this
upsets me. It’s almost summer, though, so her schedule becomes much less busy. This
week, at least, we do a lot together. It’s great!
13 APPLY.
A In your notebook, write a paragraph about a family member or a friend. Tell how often you
see this person, what you do together, and what the person is doing now. Add other details.
| don’t see my older brother very often. He and his wife are very busy. They
work full time, and they have a new baby. My sister-in-law is looking for a part-
time job...
B_ Work with a partner. Read your partner’s paragraph. Then ask him or her at least three
follow-up questions.
A: What kind of job is your sister-in-law looking for?
B: She is looking for a job as a nurse.
