PART IV. Short Talks
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk.
(M) Ken, I’d like to introduce you to my family. They've really been looking forward to meeting you. This is my wife Sandy, and these are my three children. This tough little one is my son Mike, and these are my two daughters, Anne and Christina. Mike is 7 years old, and the girls are both 5. As you can probably tell, they are twins. It was a lot of work taking care of the twins when they were babies. We were afraid of mixing them up. It’s not a problem now they are older because they have developed such different personalities. They are a little shy right now, but they’ll soon start asking you all kinds of questions.
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk.
(M) My wife Gail and I have recently purchased a beautiful home. It has a large garden and a yard for the kids and the dog. It's near the local school where Gail teaches, and it is near several shops and a sports center. The kids are crazy about swimming and soccer, so it’s going to be great for them. Inside there's a kitchen, living room, dining room, and bathroom. Upstairs there's our bedroom plus separate bedrooms for our two kids. They are looking forward to choosing their own wallpaper to decorate their rooms. There’s plenty of room, and we're happy to be first-time homeowners. We were so tired of paying rent to other people. We're going to enjoy living here. |
