Hi Kevin,
How are you? My family is going to have a big party for my grandmother next Saturday. She will be seventy-five years old. All our relatives will come, and my aunt will cook spaghetti and fried chicken.
Can you come with your parents? Our house is on Peace Street, right behind the junior high school. The party starts at six in the evening, and we will cut the cake at eight.
Please call me before Thursday. But if you are busy that day, we can meet next month.
Your cousin,
Amy
Family Day at Green Junior High School
Saturday, May 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Please write down the following before you come in: your name, your class, and the names of your guests. Do not park your car on the street in front of the school.
My grandmother is seventy years old, but she is still a student. Last year she began to learn English at a school on Park Street. On her first day, she did not even know the alphabet.
Her teacher is a young woman from a college near her home. Grandmother puts on her black glasses and studies for two hours every night. Sometimes the homework is difficult, but she never gives up.
Now she can write short letters to her granddaughter in Canada. She always says that it is never too late to learn.
One hundred students answered this question: Who cooks dinner in your family?
| Person | Boys | Girls |
|---|---|---|
| Mother | 26 | 30 |
| Father | 14 | 11 |
| Grandmother | 8 | 6 |
| Someone else | 2 | 3 |
Each student chose only one answer. Many students said that they want to learn to cook, too.
