[0:06]I live with my mum, my brother, and my mum's partner, Dave. My mum and dad aren't married now. My dad lives about 10 miles away with his new wife, Helen. They have a new baby, Jenny. She's my half sister.

[0:28]My brother, well, his name is Richard. He's 21 now. He's two years younger than me. He's clever, but he's a little lazy. He finished school last year. He got really good grades. My parents and all his teachers wanted him to go to university, but he didn't want to. He wanted to make videos and put them on the internet. But he doesn't work very hard and his videos aren't popular, so he doesn't make any money.

[1:05]Probably my cousin George. He's my dad's brother's son. We're almost the same age. He's only one month younger than me. When we were young, our families spent a lot of time together. Now, I don't live with my dad, so I don't see George or his family often. But we chat a lot online.

[1:33]Hmm, good question. We're actually very different. He's quieter and more serious than me. He hates sports and prefers reading and learning about history. I prefer science, and I'm much more active than him. I suppose we like to make jokes about each other. We laugh about how we are different, and of course, we know each other well. So if we are having a bad time, we can talk about our problems.
