GRAMMAR AND LISTENING

1. Look at the photo. What can you say about this person just by looking at the photo? How old is he? Where does he come from? Anything else about him?
2. Read what Patrick’s friends and family say about him. Match texts 1–6 with the speakers below. Then listen and check.
   sister; mother; father; friend; band member; girlfriend

   1 We both belong to a rock band. Paddy is the drummer. Listen! He’s playing the drums now. We’re doing really well these days—we’re getting quite popular.

   2 It’s funny, we never call him Patrick. He’s just Paddy to us. Unfortunately, I don’t see him very much now but we often email each other. We’re really interested in football.

   3 I come from Ireland and my wife’s English. I think Paddy’s very proud to have some Irish blood in him!

   4 Paddy’s five years older than me. He hates the music I listen to and he doesn’t like my friends but he’s OK.

   5 I’m really proud of Patrick. He comes home to visit us quite often. In fact, he’s staying here at the moment because it’s the Christmas holidays.

   6 He’s studying at London University. I love him, but he’s very busy. He belongs to lots of different clubs and societies, but he’s always late.
