Hello! My name is Tom, and this is a photo of my family. My dad is a teacher. His name is Mark. My mom is a doctor, and her name is Lucy. I have two little sisters. Their names are Amy and Kate. We live in an old house on Hill Street. Our garden is small, but there is a big tree in it, and its leaves turn red in the fall. Amy has a cat, and Kate has a rabbit. Kate feeds her rabbit every morning. My grandparents live next door, and their dog often visits us. What about you? What is your family like?

Teaching notes
Nine gaps in Tom's description of his family, using my, his, her, its, our, their and your. Learners look back to see who or what each word refers to: his for Dad, her for Mom and for his sister Kate, their for the sisters and the grandparents, our for Tom's family, and its for a tree. It suits A1 learners.
Read the text aloud, then fill the gaps as a class. After checking, point out the difference between its and it's. As a follow-up, learners bring or draw a family photo and write five sentences about it with possessive adjectives, then read them to a partner. Play it live so each learner fills the gaps on their own phone, or print it with the answer key.
