You are married, are not you?
Oh, yes. I am married and I have got two daughters.
What a coincidence! I have got two daughters, too: Helen and Mary. What are your daughters names?
They are Susan and Jane. Susan is ten years old and Jane is eight. They both go to private school. Do your daughters go to school?
Not yet. Helen is five years old and Mary is three.
They are at home, are not they?
Sure. My wife Joan does not work now. She runs the house and looks after the children. Emily is the name of my wife. She is a designer. She adores her trade and dreams of going to her office again. But she cannot for the time being.
It is only natural. Nowadays very few women are satisfied with being housewives. My wife whose name is Nancy is teacher of Russian. She works at college.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Unfortunately not. I am the only child in the family. I have got a cousin who lives in Chicago. We are on friendly terms.
I have got sister. She is much younger than I am. She lives with our parents in Los Angeles. I have seen very little of her late.
Los Angeles is beautiful city. My aunt lives there and I visit her from time to time.
It is long time since I went to Los Angeles.
Too bad!
