P Hello. My name is Pasha. I work for the BBC and I do a lot of DJing in
my spare time. Originally, I come from Moscow, but most of my family
lives in New York now. Today I’m talking to people about their families.
Tell me about your family.
T: I have a very large family. I live with my mother and my step-father in
Brighton in England. I have six brothers and sisters, of which I’m the
eldest and I have a lot of responsibility ... to look after them.
B: I live with my mum and my sister and my dad. My sister is fifteen years
old and we’re really close. We’re a happy little family.
P: I have quite a small family. I only have one sister. She’s two years
younger than me and then there’s my parents who live very close to
me. All of my grandparents have died, sadly.
E: I’m the middle child: I have an older brother and a younger brother and
my parents are still together. I get on with them brilliantly – they’re a
great family.
N: My dad’s Mexican and my mum is from London. And they, my mum
met my dad in Mexico, they moved over to England twenty-five years
ago. And I’ve got a sister who’s two years older than me.
M: Well, my family lives in Canada, in Toronto, Canada. I have a mother
and sister, my father passed away about twenty years ago, so it’s just
the three of us. Something of a small family.
P In what ways are you like your parents or siblings?
T: I look a lot like my mum: we have, like, the same height and build and
face structure. And, I guess I have the same traits as her. We, sort of,
have a very similar personality in the way we think about things, the
way we express ourselves.
P: I don’t think I’m very much like my sister; I think she’s very different
from me. I think I’m similar to my father: we both have a mathematical,
‘science-type’ mind, and I like to think I’m conscientious like my mother.

B: Um, I look quite a lot like my sister. But she’s like a younger version of
me. And she’s thinner. And then, my mum, she’s a bit more reserved,
so she’s very organised and my dad is a lot louder, a lot more
enthusiastic.
N: Um, I’m quite calm like my dad, and, but can get quite, I think, maybe
passionate like my mum.
E: I’m not very like my brothers: they are very similar to each other, but
I’m quite different. They’re more like my mum. I’m more like my dad.
P: What do you know about your family history?
B: Well, my name’s Brogan, and it’s supposed to be Scottish or Irish, but I
have no idea where it’s really from.
P: My family history goes quite, goes quite a long way back on my father’s
side, erm, certainly about four or five hundred years. He’s Scottish –
from southwest Scotland – very close to Ireland. My mother was
adopted: she and her twin sister were adopted and we’ve only
managed to go back one generation to the northwest of England.
M: I actually started to retrace my family roots last year, so I went to
Northern Ireland, to Belfast, and actually found some very interesting
information about my grandparents. Found the house that my great-
grandfather built and where my grandfather was born.
T: I don’t know very much about my family history, but I’d like to look into
it in the future.
