📖 Exercise 1: Family Vocabulary

Complete the fragments from Hala's diary with the family words below:

brother/sister-in-law • only child • second cousin • siblings • twin • widow/widower

My mother died when I was young, so my father is a 1. widower. My brother has just got married. His wife, my new 2. sister-in-law is called Hala like me! It's a shame my grandfather missed the wedding. He died last year so my grandmother is a 3. widow. Abeer has got an identical 4. twin sister called Nour. The twins are my cousin Lubna's daughters, so my son Hussein is their 5. second cousin. I only have one son, so Hussein is an 6. only child and does not have 7. siblings.

A. My friend Faisal is an only child.

B. My grandmother has a twin sister.
