Read the text about family history and match the headings below with the correct sections in the text A Your turn В What is genealogy? С Research and records | Meet the, ancestors What makes you who you are? Part of the answer is in your family's past Become a detective and find clues to your family history gene: part of a cell passed from parents to children that determines how they look generation: the people of about the same age in a particular famil] ancestor: person related to you who lived a long time ago genealogy: the study of family history When you look in the mirror, you see your father's smile? Maybe you take after your mother or look like a grandparent? That's because of DNA Our DNA contains genes that make each person in the world different - no two people look, think or act the same We pass down our genes through generations Scientists can test your DNA to find out which part of the world your ancestors were from Your family's history may be a mystery to you, but there's a way to find out about it It's called genealogy, and it's the study of the people you are related to Genealogy helps you put together your family history It starts with the relatives you know, such as parents and grandparents, and then you can learn about ancestors who lived and died before you were born Read the Exam C lose-up Then read the Exam Task below and underline the key words in the text Exam Task Look at the sentences below about studying your family history Read the text to decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect Write T (True) or F (False) W e look the way we because of the genes in our DNA A DNA test can show where in the world our ancestors lived You can find out the number of relatives you have in a DNA test Exam u i Reading the exam question first • It's a good idea to read the exam sentences very carefully before you read the text • Underline the key words in each statement so you know what information you need to look for • Then read the text quickly so you know what it is about • Read the text again and look for words and phrases in the text that are similar to the word you underlined in each exam sentence • The statements are in the same order as the information in the text Genealogy is the history of our past and present family members Relatives who are alive could have information about ancestors A family tree shows how you are related to other people in your family N o w com plete the Exam Task Use the words you underlined to help you Find the underlined w ords in the text and think about w hat th ey mean Then circle the correct m eanings below take after: to follow somebody / to be like somebody look like: to have a similar appearance / to see things you enjoy pass down: transfer to / respect the next generation Public records tell you when people were born relative: 10 The text says that websites can help you find information about your ancestors A detective can help you to find information about your family It is possible to buy old newspapers at some libraries find out: look for: family member / close friend to take outside / to discover or learn to be similar to / to try to find It isn't difficult to learn about your past You can begin by asking your relatives questions about your ancestors While you are talking with family members, take notes This helps you organise any information you get Make sure you write down any names, dates or places people mention Then you can draw a family tree with your name at the top Then you would add all the relatives from you to your great grandparents so you can see how everyone is related If there any blank boxes in your tree it's time for some detective work! Many people begin at a library where they can look for family names in old newspapers Public records are usually a very good thing to look at too They have information about births, marriages and death certificates too Some records show when people moved to a country Sometimes, records tell you where people went to school and what their job was You can also search the Internet With every bit of research you ! do, you are discovering your family's history If you could choose someone famous to be in your family, who would you choose and why? If you could go back in time, which one of your ancestors would you like to meet? Why? / Why not?
