 PART 3

The are five questions in this part. Read the text and questions below. For each question,
click on the correct letter A, B, C or D for your answer.

THE CARPENTER FAMILY

Charles and Alice Carpenter had ten daughters, two sons and numerous grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. This makes the Carpenters the perfect subjects for A Family
Century. The four-part series of program shows the family’s story from Charles’ and
Alice’s wedding in 1900 to a big family party in 1999.

At first, producer and director Kate O’Driscoll wanted to film a famous family, but she
couldn’t find a suitable one. ‘The older members of famous families were really boring
and couldn’t remember anything about the past,’ she explains. On the other hand, the
four remaining Carpenter sisters are excellent storytellers with astonishing memories.
The series starts tonight with Madge, Joyce, Sheila and Aline remembering their
schooldays in the 1990s. Their father had a good job in the Post Office, but with such a
large family there was never enough money. Madge was the only one to go to a good
school, which made her look down on her sisters. She calls Joyce ‘a pudding’, while, in
return, Joyce says Madge is ‘bossy’.

The women are fascinating, funny and sad, but what makes this series so valuable is the
way in which the women’s experiences are shown side by side with the social and
economic conditions of the day. A Family Century is an enjoyable slice of social history
which should not be missed.

B.  She is the oldest.
C.  She has the most money.

4. What in the writer’s opinion, makes A Family Century valuable?
