1. Read the text:

My sister takes after my mum, but people say I take after my dad. He’s a travel consultant & he’s got his own business. He’s always nice & friendly. My mother works as a barmaid in a wine bar & she’s quite attractive. She’s got dark hair & a nice face with dark brown eyes. Kate is funny & a bit different. She changes the way she dresses. I’m not very interested in fashion – I like my jeans & old clothes. Kate lives & works in a lot of different countries. I stayed with her in New York when we were doing a job together. We were shopping & everyone knew her because there were pictures of her everywhere. Somebody from a model agency saw Kate at JFK airport in New York when she was 14 or 15. We were coming back from a holiday in Florida with dad & a woman said, “Do you want to come down to the model agency?”

Kate had never thought about modeling before that – she was just a normal girl then. When we were young, we had fights about silly little things. She sometimes hit me, so I tore her posters & threw her clothes on the floor. My parents are divorced but they got on quite well. I live with my dad but my mum lives very near & I see her about three times a week. I get on brilliantly with my dad – we can talk about everything. He’s very easy-going & not strict, but he keeps me under control. Kate loves modeling. If you are a young girl you can earn a lot of money, but the job is not so good for men. I enjoy modeling, but I would prefer to play football professionally or manage a hotel. I suppose I’m quite ambitious & I would succeed in my business.
