Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F). (10 questions)

Mai is growing up in a large extended family. She lives with her parents, grandad, aunt, and cousins. Each

member has a different timetable, so they need to be careful not to disturb the others. Her granddad usually

gets up early and waters the garden. Her parents and aunt get up at around half past six to prepare for work.

Mai and her cousins share a room, so they wake up, have breakfast, and go to school together.

Living with a big family means that you always get help when you need it. Mai’s granddad and parents look

after her cousins because her aunt often goes away on business trips. Mai’s cousins are older than her and

are kind enough to help Mai with her homework. All members of the family have to do chores. They take turns

to mop the floor, dust the furniture, and do the dishes. Everyone cleans their room once a week. Although they

are busy with work and school, the family members try their best to spend time together every evening and on

the weekend. Mai loves her family very much.
