Lin: |
Brian, what's up? You look unhappy. |
Brian: |
Oh, nothing particular, Lin. Just that
I miss my family terribly. |
Lin: |
Me too. How many people are there in your
family? |
Brian: |
Four. My parents, my elder sister and
I. |
Lin: |
What do they do? |
Brian: |
My father works in a computer company,
and my mother is a nurse. My older sister studies in
Beijing, and we e-mail each other fairly often. |
Lin: |
Are your parents strict with you? |
Brian: |
Yes, I think so. When I was at home, I
had to clean my own room, help with house chores, finish
my homework before dinner time, get back home no later
than 9 in the evening, and so on. |
Lin: |
That's good for you. Do you get along
well with your family? |
Brian: |
Sure. I'm lucky to live in a strict yet
loving family. I love them. |
