Текст для аудирования
Hi! My name’s Kerry. I live in London, England. I live with my mum, my dad and my sister Cheri. I like living in London because there are a lot of museums, theatres, cinemas, parks and sports centres with swim¬ming pools. I like spending time with my friends. But I always ask for my parents’ permission before I go anywhere. Rules are simple in our house. I must always be home on time. I must help with the chores in the house. I mustn’t watch TV if I haven’t done my homework. And I mustn’t spend a long time on the phone. My mum and dad come from Jamaica. This summer we may go on holiday there.

My sister always spends a lot of time on the computer and I don’t have the time. I don’t think that’s fair. What should I do? Ann B., Norwich
