UNIT 3. FAMILY
Text 1. Janet's World
ˈJanet ˈNorris is ˈtwenty-ˏfour, ˏsingle, and she ˈlives in a ˈsmall ˈflat in ˈNotting ˎHill. She’s a ˈsecretary in an inˎsurance company. Her ˈboss is called ˎTom, and she ˈthinks he is ˈsecretly in ˎlove with her. Her ˎcolleague, ˎTracey, is the ˈsame ˈage as ˎher, and they ˈget ˈon ˈreally ˎwell.
Her ˈparents ˈlive in ˎOxford. Her ˋmum, ˏTina, has a ˈlovely ˏface and ˈbig ˈhazel ˎeyes. She ˈmakes ˎup ˈveryˎlittle. She ˈlikes ˏswimming and ˏgardening. Her ˎdad, ˎHarry, is a ˈtutor at ˈOxford Uniˎversity. He is a ˋquiet ˏman, ˈrather ˎshy, but ˎstrict with his ˎstudents, a ˈgood ˏlistener, ˈnot ˈmuch of a ˏtalker. He has ˈfair ˈhair ˈslightly ˈgrey at the ˎtemples.
ˈJanet’s ˈgot a ˈyounger ˎsister, ˎSandra. She ˈtakes ˈafter her ˎmother. ˈSandra is ˈfond of ˈold ˎfilms, so she ˈwatches ˏtelevision or ˈgoes to the ˏcinema quite ˎoften. She is ˈkind and ˎgentle, and ˈcooks ˎperfectly. She is ˈmarried to a ˈguy ˈcalled ˎRay. They have a ˎbaby, whose ˈname is ˎGrace, and ˈthat ˏmeans ˈJanet is an ˎaunt.
Her ˈbest friend and ˈneighbour is ˎStan. He is a ˈfifty-four-year-ˈold ˏbarber and his ˈshop is ˈjust beˈlow her ˎflat. He is a ˏwidower and he’s ˈvery ˈproud of his ˈteenage ˎson, ˎDanny. ˈDanny is a ˈtall ˈstrong ˏboy, ˈbroad at the ˏshoulders and ˈthin at the ˎwaist. He does ˋwell at ˏschool. His ˈfavourite enterˈtainment is ˈplaying the ˎtrumpet.

ˈJanet’s ˈstudying Japaˈnese at ˈevening ˎclasses because she ˈwants to ˈgo and ˈwork in Jaˎpan. She ˈalso enˈjoys ˎYoga a lot, but her ˈbiggest ˈpassion is phoˎtography. She ˈloves ˈtaking ˈphotos of ˎpeople. She beˈlieves that if you ˈtake the ˈpicture at the ˈright ˏmoment, you can ˈcapture their persoˎnality.
Text 2. Aunt Emily
Of ˈall my ˎrelatives, ˈI ˈlike my ˈaunt ˎEmily the best. She's my ˈmother's ˈyoungest ˎsister. She has ˈnever ˎmarried, and ˈlives aˎlone | in a ˈsmall ˎvillage | near ˎBath. She is in her ˈlate ˎfifties, but she's ˈquite ˎyoung | in ˎspirit. She has a ˈfair comˏplexion, ˈthick ˈbrown ˏhair, which she ˈwears in a ˏbun, and ˈdark ˈbrown ˎeyes. She has a ˈkind ˎface, and ˈwhen you ˎmeet her, the ˋfirst thing you ˏnotice | is her ˎsmile.
Her ˈface is a ˈlittle ˎwrinkled now | but I ˈthink she is ˈstill ˈrather aˎttractive. She ˈis the ˈsort of ˈperson you can ˈalways ˎgo to | if you ˈhave a ˎproblem. She is a ˈvery ˎactive person. She ˈlikes ˎreading | and ˎgardening, and she ˈstill ˈgoes for ˈlong ˈwalks ˈover the ˎhills. She's exˈtremely ˎgenerous, but ˈnot ˈvery ˈtolerant with ˈpeople who ˈdon't aˎgree with her. I ˈhope, I'm as conˈtented as ˎshe is | when ˈI'm ˎher age.
