THE PRESENT SIMPLE and The Simpsons

Hi! I’m Snowball 2, the Simpsons’ cat. I sometimes play with a ball but I don’t do much exercise… the sofa is my favourite place!! But…. Do you know the Simpsons? Let me introduce them…


Homer is the father. He’s 36 years old. He loves donuts and drinks Duff beer. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant but he doesn’t like it!!


Marge is the mother. She’s 34 and she is a housewife. She usually does the shopping and all the housework. She doesn’t like flying.


Bart is the son. He’s 10. He doesn’t like studying, often plays pranks on others and says “I didn’t do it!!!”


Lisa is one of Bart’s sisters. She’s 8 and she’s very intelligent. She loves reading and playing saxophone. She doesn’t like meat… she’s a vegetarian.


Maggie is 1 year old. She’s the baby. She still sucks on her pacifier. She doesn’t walk but she usually goes everywhere with her mother.

Santa’s Little Helper is the dog. He fetches the paper and destroys it and doesn’t mind sharing the sofa with me. He loves playing with Bart and Lisa.


They live in Springfield. They are yellow and have got big eyes and small ears!!!Do you like them???
