“Що вона сказала, коли ти їй освідчився?” – “Я їй не освідчився. Перш ніж я встиг розтулити рота, вона сказала мені, що любить Шекспіра, Кіплінга та По. У мене не було жодного шансу. Чи можу я отримати згоду дівчини, яка вже закохана в трьох молодих людей?”

Дружина: “Любий, ти пам’ятаєш, що в цей день 25 років тому ми були заручені?” – “Двадцять п’ять років тому, – крикнув розсіяний професор, – господи, чому ж ти мені не нагадала раніше. Звичайно, нам уже давно час одружитися”.

Family background (=family history).

My grandfather was a market gardener in Ireland. He grew flowers, fruit and vegetables, and sold them in the market every day. He worked hard all his life and when he died, his son (now my uncle) and daughter (my mother) inherited a large house and a garden (received this house and garden from my grandfather when he died). They carried on business together until my mother met my father. They got married, moved to England, and I was born two years later. They didn’t have any more children, so I’m the only child.

Family names

When you are born, your family gives you a first name, e.g. James, Kate, Sarah and Alex are common first names in Britain. Your family name (also called your surname) is the one that the entire family share e.g. Smith, Brown, Jones, and O’Neill are common surnames in Britain. Some parents give their children a middle name, but you do not usually say this name in Britain unlike in Ukraine. Your full name is all the names you have, e.g. Sarah Jane Smith.
