hi this is Kristen at learn English with
B Global welcome to today's lesson we
are going to talk about family and
vocabulary in the English language when
it comes to our family and all of our
family members so today let's talk about
my family we will start with
me Kristen
perfect now I have one mother and one
father my mother and my father together
they make up my parents
I am a girl so I and the
daughter my mother and my father they
also have one
son I call him
my
brother and he calls me
sister my brother and I together are the
children I am the daughter and he is the
son together we are the
children of our
parents our
mother and our father
my mother and my father they have
parents too and we call them our
grandparents that would
be my
grandmother and yetep my
grandfather my
grandparents are the parents to my
mother and
father that makes my
mother a daughter
to my
grandparents and my
father a
son to my
grandparents my father he also has a
brother my father's
brother is a son
to my grandmother and my
grandfather I call him my
uncle my mother she doesn't have a
brother but if she had a brother I would
call him my uncle
too my mother does have one sister
my mother's sister is also the daughter
to my grandmother and my
grandfather I call my mother's
sister my Aunt
my father he doesn't have a sister but
if my father had a sister I would also
call her my
aunt my
uncle he has a daughter
my uncle's
daughter she is my
cousin and my
aunt my mother's
sister my Aunt she has a son
and my aunt's son he is also my
cousin it's easy to
remember whenever you have an aunt or an
uncle who has
children whether it is a boy or a girl a
son or or a daughter the name is always
cousin you will always call them
cousin it does not matter if it is a boy
or a girl very easy to remember that
way so we had some news in my family
this year and my brother became a
father we were very
excited we found out that he was going
to have two babies at the same
time we have a name for that and we call
it
twins he had one boy and one
girl so he had a son
and a
daughter at the same
time my brother's son is my
nephew and my brother's
daughter my brother's daughter is my
niece
so what do my niece and my
nephew call
me let's take a look at our family tree
that we have created here and see if we
can find the
answer I know that my father's brother
is my
uncle and I know that my mother's sister
is my
aunt so if my
father had a
sister yep I would be the
ant and I'm very excited to finally be
an aunt to these two beautiful children
I hope you've enjoyed the family
members and this is just basic if you
get married then your family becomes
even bigger you have a whole another
family with the person that you married
and that family becomes your inlaws
so if I get married my husband my
husband's brother he becomes my
brother-in-law his sister becomes my
sisterin-law
my husband's mother becomes my
motherin-law and you can see how that
works so that's just an even bigger
family picture
I would also like to go over a few
sayings with
you that we like to
use for
example my grandmother and my
grandfather loved to
dance and my mother and my father also
love to
dance and me and my brother we love to
dance Too
we would say that our love for dance
runs in the
family runs in the family is a way of
saying that something is in common with
everyone in the family going all the way
back to grandparents or even if you go
further it becomes great
grandparents when you have something in
common throughout your whole family
family you say that it runs in the
family and that's a way of saying that
our love for dance runs in the family
because we all enjoy it another common
saying we're going to use an example of
my uncle getting very
sick he was very sick and our family
knew but he did not want anyone else to
know he did not want anyone at work to
know he did not want any of his friends
to know so we knew that we had to keep
it in the
family we have to keep it in the
family this means that in this example
we want this news to stay in the family
we have to keep it in the family we
aren't going to tell anyone else about
this news so whenever you keep something
in the family that means that no one
else knows it just stays within your
family members and it stays a secret
only within your family keep it within
the family rather than telling everyone
else around
you one more example we're going to use
today is when you know somebody so well
that they feel like a family member
maybe it's a friend that you've known
since you were little maybe it's an
older adult or a family member type
person someone that has been like a
mother that you has taken care of you
your entire life and you look up to them
as if they were an uncle or a father or
a
grandfather we are considering them like
one of the
family when you have someone in your
life that you look up to or that you've
known for a very long time that you are
very close to often times you think of
them as family and you would say they
are like one of the family they probably
come to all the celebrations they help
you through all of your problems they
feel like they are a father or a mother
or a brother or a sister and you would
say that they are like one of the family
even though maybe they are not related
to you by
