Portrait of a family:...

Their parents are Andiv and Marion. ... other adult is Leslie, who's Andrew's brother. He is twenty-four. They live in ... Newcastle,... large city in ... north-east of England.
On weekday mornings everyone gets up early; Andrew Barton works for ... company, which manufactures... computers. He leaves at seven o'click. He likes to avoid ... rush hour, he says. Marion suspects that really I likes to avoid ... breakfast with ... children, who are very noisy.
Ben catches... school bus at eight-fifteen. Leslie is at... university, studying physics. He lives away from ... home during term-time, so he avoids ... noise, too.
Stella doesn't go to ... school yet, of course. Next year, she will start at nursery school where Ben used to go. Her mother is looking forward to this as it will mean that she can go back to ... work. Before her marriage, she lived in London, where she worked for ... National Gallery, in ... Trafalgar Square. She is hoping to find ... same sort of iob in ... Newcastle.
