4.Family Life

（1）Memories

Man：Hey！Are these pictures of you when you were a kid？

Woman：Yeah. That's me in front of my uncle's beach house. When I was a kid，we used to spend two weeks there every summer.

Man：Wow，I bet that was fun！

Woman：Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I had a great shell collection. In fact，I think it's still up in the attic！

Man：Hey，I used to collect shells，too，when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out！

（2）Kids

Father：Jason... Jason！Turn down the TV a little，please.

Son：Oh，but this is my favourite program！

Father：I know. But it's very loud.

Son：OK. I'll turn it down.

Mother：Lisa，please pick up your things. They're all over the living room floor.

Daughter：In a minute，Mum. I'm on the phone.

Mother：OK. But do it as soon as you hang up.

Daughter：Sure. No problem！

Mother：Goodness！Were we like this when we were kids？

Father：Definitely！

（3）In the Park

Barbara：Hi，Katherine，how are you today？

Katherine：I'm great，and you？

Barbara：Very busy！I'm jogging now，but later I have to do a lot！

Katherine：What do you have to do？

Barbara：Well，first of all，I have to do the shopping. We don't have anything to eat at home.

Katherine：... And then？

Barbara：Little Johnny has a basketball game this afternoon. I'm driving him to the game.

Katherine：Oh，how is his team doing？

Barbara：They're doing very well. Next week，they're travelling to Toronto for a tournament.

Katherine：That's impressive.

Barbara：Well，Johnny likes playing basketball. I'm happy he's enjoying it. What are you doing today？

Katherine：I'm not doing much. I'm meeting some friends for lunch，but，other than that，I don't have much to do today.

Barbara：You're so lucky！

Katherine：No，you're the lucky one. I'd like to have so many things to do.
