My Ideal Family Tree

Now create your own family tree.


Add photos and label their names.


Then, write a short text describing your family: names, age, nationality, hobbies...


Use have to, saxon genitive, possessive pronouns...
For example: My mother's name is Madonna. She is 50 years old. She is from USA. She likes singing but she doesn't like politics.
