Click here to learn the vocabulary with an interactive book.

En los ejercicios y ejemplos verás que utilizan "He has got or She has got" en lugar de "He has or She has". Es una forma que sólo utilizan los británicos, pero significa exactamente lo mismo.
También verás que a veces utilizan "of medium/average height" y otras "medium/average height". La versión con "of" es más formal y normalmente se usa en la escritura más que en el lenguaje hablado.
También verás que también utilizan "plump" para hombres.

WRITING ACTIVITY

Hello!

My name’s Fabio. I’m 21 and I’m Italian. I am a shop assistant and I work in a mobile phone shop in the centre of Rome.

I study English because I love travelling and listening to American pop music, but I can’t understand the lyrics!

I have a big family- two brothers and two sisters, but they are married. I live with my parents in a big flat and we have a cat too.

I can use a computer very well and I like playing games. I can play sports quite well. I play football twice a week and I go running every Saturday morning. I love eating too, but I can’t cook at all.

Goodbye!

Fabio
