Family life in the Beijing

Beijing's old houses were once only one-storey buildings, but most have now been torn down and replaced by high-rise apartment blocks. Two families, who still live in the older style dwellings, tell us why they prefer these simple and often basic homes. This clip covers talking about the family, including the vocabulary for mum, dad, grandma, daughter, son and grandson and introducing members of the family.
