My name’s Alex, or Alejandro in Spanish. My family are from Mexico, but we live in London. I’m eighteen and I’m an economics student at London University.
This is my family: my mum, Elena. She’s forty-one, and my dad, Enrique. He’s fifty-three. He’s got a computer business here in London. Then this is my sister, Beatriz. She’s at school. I’ve also got a little brother, Lucas. He’s only three.
This is my mum’s sister, Lourdes. I think she’s about thirty-six or thirty-seven. She’s a really big lawyer in Mexico. She hasn’t got any children and she isn’t married.
And this is my dad’s brother, Roberto. He’s a businessman. He’s got four or five shops in Mexico City. His wife’s name is Isabella. She’s a Spanish teacher. She’s really nice and they’ve got two children. Bella’s about six and Mateo’s four.
