Tricia: I am the black sheep of the family. I am the ____ child and I have always been shy and sensitive. My parents were really ____ and they constantly criticised me, so we couldn’t ____ trust between us. I felt ____ and ____. Each member of my family has said and done things that ____ my feelings. I ____ my anger for a long time and now I’m scared that my ____ will make me a terrible parent in the future. Jim: My younger ____ in our family. Despite having the same ____, we grew up to be ____, probably because of a big age ____. Being the baby of the family, my brother learnt how to be ____ and ____ anything he did. However, when he faced other people, it didn’t work, so he had to ____ to get what he wanted. He often thought ____ which made him an ____ at his school and later at college. He is now a grown-up man with a family of his own. We are not very close, but keep in touch. I just hope his egoism won’t ____ on his children. Dave: I have always felt that I am ____ from my family, but I never saw myself as the black sheep. My parents and I never ____ on anything, and we have constantly been arguing. Fortunately, I am not the only child and my brother has been the one I could ____. I ____ what he has done for me because it is he who taught me to ____ for myself. No matter how going ____ my parents could be, thanks to my brother, I did ____ to me. I ____ to him and hope to become such a ____ and a loving parent as he is.
