√ Dialogues:
ABOUT MY FAMILY.
- Now, I'd like to know about your family.
- Oh, my family is a very large one. I have a mother, a father, grandparents, two sisters and a brother.
- Do you all live together?
- Yes, we do, and it's a remarkable thing that we practically never quarrel.
- Besides your immediate relatives you must also have some uncles and aunts and some cousins.
- Yes, several. Every now and then they come to see us at our place or we go to see them.
- I wonder who does the cooking and looks after the house.
- It's all in the hands of my mother. Of course, my sisters and I help her.
- Thank you so much!
- Come to us some time.
- I'll come by all means. I'll be so glad to know them all.
