1. Margaret Hawk is 12 years old. She is an Indian. She lives in Montana, the USA. She has got a large family. Margaret gets on well with all her sisters and brothers. “My mum and dad are very busy during the day. That’s why I have to take care of my younger sisters and brothers. We are never bored. My grandparents, who are my father’s parents, live next door to us. My sisters, brothers, and I often eat our meals with them. We usually come to their house after school. My grandfather used to hunt bears when he was young. He was a very skillful hunter. Now he has got lots of stories to tell. My parents and we can get good advice from him. We respect our grandparents.”
2. John Clark, 11, lives with his parents and elder sister in New Zealand. His family is small, but the extended family is important in his life.
“My parents were born in Helena, but our family originally came from Bozeman, which is a beautiful town in the Rocky Mountains. We go there once a year to stay with our relatives. I love going there and playing with my cousins. My aunt and uncle live near us, and I spend a lot of time with them. My sister, who is much older than me, still lives at home. She is a student. She is going to be a computer programmer. I love being a part of my family.”
3. Olha Sovenko is 12 years old. She lives in Mykolayiv, Kherson region, Ukraine. "My parents live in Mykolayiv. I’ve got a brother, who is 16 years old. He is a student. He is fond of sports. When I was a little girl, my grandmother offered to look after me. It’s a Ukrainian tradition for grandparents to bring up their grandchildren. So I li¬ved with two of my cousins in our grandma’s house by the sea, and many of the people in the village are my relatives. I saw my brother when he came to our granny on holidays. I often missed my close family then, but I’m happy with my life now, when we are together.”
