Megan: Hi, Megan here. I’m on holiday with my family at the moment. We’re having a great time! Right, let’s see what everyone’s doing today.
OK, so that’s my dad. He’s a doctor. He helps people at work every day. But he’s not at work today. Today he’s in the swimming pool with my sister. He’s teaching her how to swim.
And there’s my mum. She’s a musician. But she isn’t playing her guitar now. She’s eating a big ice cream.
Then there’s my Uncle Tony. Tony’s got an interesting job. He’s a lorry driver. He drives all over Europe. He sometimes goes to Africa too! Today he’s trying to catch a fish!
This is Amanda. She’s Tony’s wife. She’s a waitress. She works in a restaurant every evening. She isn’t working now. She’s taking a photo of Tony.
And this is my brother Jamie. He’s a photographer. He’s very good at taking photos, but he’s not doing that today. He’s sleeping in the sun.
