Today is my birthday and I’m twenty-one years old. My name is Emma Hyde and my father is Dr David Hyde. He is a doctor in this city and people think he’s an extremely (非常) good doctor. My mother is a nurse. She’s a very good nurse. I have two brothers and one sister. Right now my elder brother is in the Middle East. He has many friends there. My sister is a student, and my younger brother, Mike is a student, too. Both my sister and Mike want to be teachers. They’re studying languages and both of them want to be language teachers. My father’s brother, uncle Charles, is a farmer. My mother’s brother, uncle William, is an engineer (工程师). Both of my uncles are still very young. People can’t guess how old they are. Uncle Charles is thirty-five and uncle William is thirty-six. They often come to see us. We are going to visit Beijing next autumn together.
