Unit 1: HOME LIFE
PAUL: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they’ve spread out all over the place. We rarely get together as a family any more.
ANDREA: Well, try to get home as soon as possible. We’re a big family – there are six of us – children – so it’s always a lot of fun.
PAUL: Six kids?
ANDREA: Yes. And we’re really close. My brothers are married, so it makes for a very crowded home over the holiday. And there are too many people to cook for, so we end up going out to dinner a lot. That’s also fun.
PAUL: Well, at my home, my mother loves to cook, so when we get home she often cooks big meals. We have leftovers for days.
