Select the best words from the dropdown list to fill the blanks.

When asked about your family, it's best to reply first by saying who is in your immediate family as our first speaker did: My is a teacher and my is an architect. I've got 2 and one , so that's all the family. Now listen to how you might develop a longer answer, like this: My mum in Malaysia in a town called Bentong, which is just north of Kuala Lumpur. But her is Sri Lankan Tamil. So racially I guess you'd say they're South Indian. But they to Sri Lanka and then her family...her elder sister in Sri Lanka. But then her family to Malaysia and most of the other children in Malaysia.
First she says where her mum was born: My mum in Malaysia in a town called Bentong, which is just north of Kuala Lumpur. But her mother isn't ethnically Malaysian, so she points this out: But her is Sri Lankan Tamil. So racially I guess you'd say they're South Indian. She then explains how her mother came to be born in Malaysia: Her elder sister in Sri Lanka. But then her family moved to Malaysia and most of the other children in Malaysia.
