The Baker family come from Oxford, but normally they live in London. At the moment, they are living in America. John Baker works for a large clothing company and he’s working in the company’s American office in San Francisco for two years. Anne, his wife, is actually American. She’s a photographer and now she has got a temporary job with The New York Times. She worked for The Times twenty years ago but stopped when the children, Tom, 16, and Betty, 14, were born. The children are enjoying their two years abroad and Tom has already been accepted on the school football team. The family like living in America and this summer they have had barbeques almost every weekend. John has invited his colleagues and their families, so the Bakers have made a lot of friends. Betty is learning to wind-surf. One of John’s colleagues has a son who is teaching her, and she spends most of her free time at the beach and in the water. While they are in America, the Bakers are living in a house near the beach.
