We've got two children; Jack is seven,  and his little brother Ed is four. They're quite close,  and play a lot together. They quarrel quite a lot too,  but they enjoy each other's company(陪伴).

Unluckily,  we live quite a long way away from the others of the family. It's an eight-hour drive to get to their grandparents,  but we usually visit them during the school holidays.

Jack reads well,  but he hasn't started to read for pleasure yet—he thinks reading is only something you have to do at school. I think the main problem is that he watches far too much television.

He also likes playing cards and computer games. And riding his bike. I don't let him ride it on the streets,  but we often go to the park,  where it's safer.

He doesn't eat too many sweets,  because he's getting his adult teeth(恒牙) now,  and he knows they've got to last him for life. He seems more interested in saving his pocket money and counting it than spending it.
