My name’s James, and I live with my mum and my stepfather. I’ve got a sister, Rachel, but I also live with my stepsister, Louise. She’s lived with us for two years, since mum married Richard, her father. Richard’s OK – I like him a lot. He’s really friendly to Rachel and me, but he doesn’t pretend that he’s our dad. But I find my stepsister really. She’s older than Rachel and me, and she tries to tell us what to do all the time – but she’s living in our house! Sometimes she invites lots of her friends round to the house, so Rachel and I can’t get into the kitchen, or watch what we want to on TV. And when we complain to mum about it, she just says that it’s Louise’s home too now, and that we should try to understand her problems! And if we have an argument, Richard always believes her and not us. It’s not fair!

a) This is a very casual look obviously … the T-shirt and jeans make her look very natural … She looks quite young in this picture, I think.

b) It’s hard to believe this is the same person … Obviously, her whole look is very different from the other picture, Picture A …the glasses make her look much more serious, much more mature … and the hairstyle, too … In fact, she looks like a senior executive or something like that, something in the business world.

c) Hmm … I’m not sure about this one … the hair makes her look younger, doesn’t it? Personally, I think her hair is better in the other pictures … and I think she looks prettier in Picture A, to be honest. That tracksuit isn’t the most elegant outfit in the world … I’d say she looks better in Picture A, definitely.

d) You can see how the dress makes her look taller than in the other pictures. This is definitely the most sophisticated of the four pictures … it’s the hairstyle, isn’t it? It gives her a very elegant, sophisticated appearance … nice. I think this is the best picture, I really do.
