Comprehension 3- The Andrews Family
There are five members in the Andrews family. They are Mr. And Mrs. Andrews, Matthew, Karen, and Kemmy. They live on the poorer side of the city. Their apartment consists of only two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a bathroom
Their son, Matthew, is sixteen years old. He is a clever and hard-working boy. He is the captain of the schoolís basketball team but he wants to be a doctor instead of a professional basketball player. He is working part-time at a fast-food restaurant in order to save up for his university fees.
Karen and Kemmy are twins and they are thirteen years old. They are both good-natured, intelligent, and kind-hearted. Karen wants to be a teacher and Kemmy a nurse, when they grow up.
