relative and choose () the best answer (a, b or c) for questions
1 to 5.
The
person I used to look forward to seeing
most when I was a young boy was my Aunt
Julie. She was a funny-looking lady, and
reminded me of a character in my favourite
comic. She was quite short and a little
overweight, but she had this round, happy
face with dimpled cheeks and a little button
nose. Her hair was very black and looked
like a hat that old ladies sometimes wear.
She always wore old-fashioned clothes, typically
a skirt (usually dark blue), a blouse, a
woollen cardigan (even when it was quite
warm), and flat shoes.
I remember her as being extremely generous,
good-natured and hard-working. She was happiest
when she was taking care of someone - cleaning
their house, cooking or going shopping for
them. She never ever complained. And she
was always cheerful.
She had a wonderful sense of fun, particularly
with children. She used to visit my mother
a lot when I was a little boy, and as soon
as she came through the front door she used
to hold out her arms and pretend she was
going to kiss me. Of course, I used to run
away. Then she would chase me around the
room, catch me and give me a big hug.
Once she came to visit on my sixth birthday.
Just before my party started, she called
me over to where she was sitting and opened
her purse. She paused, watching my eyes
growing bigger with excitement, then took
out a five-pence piece, put it in my hand
and said, 'Buy yourself something nice for
your birthday,' pretending not to notice
the disappointed look on my face. I walked
away, but almost immediately she called
me back, reached into her bag and brought
out a fantastic toy car.
She could sometimes be a little annoying.
When she was in our house, she was always
moving around the kitchen singing in a high-pitched
voice. But it was impossible to get angry
with her. She was loved by everybody that
knew her.
