Listen to Tom talking about his family traditions and choose the right answer.


Peter: My family is really big and we enjoy spending time together. At weekends we have long walks after lunch and in the evening we watch a movie or play a board game. The tradition I like most is going to football matches. We all play football in the family and we are fans of Manchester United. We sometimes travel to a different city where this team has to play a match. We like discussing the football game and predict results. My grandfather started the tradition and he is a good football player too.
Silvia: I like all traditions we have in our family. My sister and I enjoy reading and we often discuss books as a family. The tradition I like best is celebrating Christmas. Two weeks before Christmas, we select the carols we want to sing on Christmas Eve and we rehearse a lot. We also make Christmas postcards for all family members. We always spend an afternoon baking homemade cookies. On Christmas Day, we usually visit our grandparents who live 70 km from our town. We sing our carols for them and we wish them Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.silvia: I like all traditions we have in our family.
