Language Point

The expressions “I look like” and “I take after” are used to talk about family resemblances. “I look like my grandfather. I take after him.” People also say, “I have (a physical characteristic)” to mean “I look like.”

For example, “I have my grandfather’s eyes” means “My eyes are like my grandfather’s eyes.”

Another example is “I take after both of my parents. I have my mother’s eyes and my father’s nose.”

These are all family pictures of Beth at different ages.What does she look like in each picture?

1. So, this is me with my sister Tiffany. She was five then, and I was nine. We’re in our bedroom. We shared a room. It was kind of fun.

2. This is me with my brother Ted. We are in the front yard of our house. I was 17 there, almost out of high school. My brother was only 9. He was a totally cute kid. Don’t look at my hair there.

3. Oh, here. We were at my grandmother’s house, my grandma Ella. I love going there. She made the best cookies. That’s me and my baby sister Ginny. I was 21 then, and she was 3. And my grandma Ella. She was amazing. She was 95 there!

Script

4. Oh, and here we are in my backyard, a happy day. It’s my college graduation. That’s me and my dad, Bill. He’s a professor at the college I went to, so that’s why we’re dressed the same.

5. Oh, and that’s the whole crew on my wedding day in front of the church. You won’t remember everyone, but you can see that’s me in the middle, and of course my husband, Phil, next to me, Ted and Tiffany all grown up, Ginny again, and there’s grandma Ella again. I was 25 when I got married. What a fun wedding we had.

Script

6. Oh, and this is just me and my sister, Tiffany, and my husband Phil. We were just fooling around at Phil’s parents’ house. I think this was the summer after we got married, so I was like 26 here. I look pretty much the same as at my wedding, except for my clothes, of course.

Script Hi, everyone. This is Eva Stone of “World Encounters”. Today’s

“World Encounters” is “World Families”. Let’s go around the world and look at some different families.

Meet the Maritinez family. They’re from Honduras, in Central America. They live on a cattle ranch in the countryside. There are five people living at the ranch. Dona Maria is the mother and the head of the household. She has a son named Miguel. He lives on the ranch with his wife, Maria. Miguel and Maria have a son named Carlos, who’s 12, and a daughter, Gabriella, who is 8. Dona Maria also has two other children.

Meet the Abbott family, They’re from Sydney, Australia. There are five people in their family: the father, Glenn, the mother, Liz, their older daughter, Beth, the son, Alex, and the younger daughter, Louise. Glenn works at a band in downtown Sydney. Liz runs a little café near the Sydney Opera House. Alex and Louise are in high school. They love to surf, and there are so many great beaches near Sydney! Here are the Abbots, with Glenn’s parents, Daniel and Ruth, and his aunt Greta.

Script Meet the Feng family. They live in Shanghai, China, in a high-rise

building, in Puxi along the Yangzi River. Shing, the father, works for a trading company. He’s very busy. He travels a lot to Singapore, Hong Kong, and other Asian cities. Meet Jin, the mother, works at home. She has a home office and does design work for a textile company. The Fengs have two children, Yuan, who’s 9, and Mingmei, who’s 6.

Meet the Eze family. They’re from Nigeria. There are many people in their extended family, but this is the immediate family that lives together in Lagos. The father is Chuka. He is a doctor at a hospital. The mother is Nneka. She is a teacher at the high school nearby. They have two daughters. Chizoba. She is 14 years old. And Aisha. She’s 12. They are both students.
