Dear Young Jones, Thank you for your e-mail. Now let me tell you about my family.

My parents are coffee farmers. Most families here are small. I have one elder sister, but I don’t have a brother.

My sister’s name is Rose. She is a middle school student. But she is pretty tall. She studies so hard. She can speak both English and Japanese. She likes neither math nor chemistry, but she wants to be a scientist.

My mother and my father work eveyday. I think they are tired, so I study hard, too. They like climbing mountains and going skating. I am looking forward to going hiking this Saturday.

Best wishes for you! Love, Jasmine

Unit5  变化中的家庭 美国的家庭在发生变化。一个重要的变化就是多数的已婚妇女现在都

出门工作了。当父母都工作后，家庭会发生什么变化呢？ 看看莫洛一家吧。 朱迪和史蒂夫 · 莫洛夫妇二人有三个孩子： 12 岁

的乔什， 9 岁的本和 6 岁的艾米莉。史蒂夫是个电脑程序员。今年朱迪也上班了，在一家医院做管理人员。家里需要钱，而且朱迪也喜欢她的工作，事事基本上都很顺利，但是还是存在一些问题。

由于朱迪工作了，史蒂夫不得不多分的一些她的家务活，他并不喜欢做。

朱迪喜欢她的工作，但她觉得太累太忙，而且她还要为孩子操心。周六朱迪不得不工作，所以史蒂夫和朱迪没有太多闲暇处。

艾米莉在她的课外活动中玩的很开心。当朱迪开车来接她的时候，她都不想离开。

遗憾的是，本的学校没有课外活动，现在他几乎每个下午都在看电视。

乔什十分享受他新近的课后自由时间。他把音乐的声音放得很大，并且花更多的时间聊电话，他也做一些零星家务。
