<span><span>Interviewer: What about your parents? What do they do?
</span><span>Linda: My mum is a nurse and my dad is an architect. They don't work in Woodbury. They both commute to Exeter to work. Exeter is the largest city of Devonshire and its capital
</span></span><span><span>Interviewer: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
</span> <span>Linda: Yes, I do. Actually, my family is quite large. There are five children in my family and I am the second child. I have one older sister and three younger brothers.
</span></span>Interviewer: What do they do?
Linda: My sister's name is Emily. She is five years older than me and she is a scientist. She conducts various researches. My brothers' names are Eric, Daniel and Edward. Eric is 15 years old. He is in a high school and he wants to become a lawyer. Daniel is 13. His dream is to become a professional footballer. He plays for the local team. Edward is only 7. He is a pupil of Woodbury Primary School. He doesn't know what he wants to become, yet. However, I know that he is really into drawing.
<span>Interviewer: Sounds interesting. you seem to have a united and closely-knit family. Do you often get together?
</span><span>Linda: You're right. We have a rather united family. We often get together on different occasions. I spend little time at home these days, as I live at the university hostel. However, I spend weekends at home. On public holidays, such as New Year, Christmas, Easter and also on family birthdays we always get together.
</span><span>Interviewer: Can you say that your family is typically English?</span>
Linda: I think so. We try to follow national traditions. At Christmas we nicely decorate our house and the nearby area. We cook traditional Christmas dishes - pudding and turkey. At Easter we buy chocolate Easter bunnies. On Friday or Saturday nights we go to a pub or to a family restaurant to eat fish & chips. My brothers like watching and playing football. My mum is very much into gardening and knitting. My dad likes reading local newspapers. We have several pets at home. I think we are a typical British family.
Put in the right words.
I like this because it means I can read a book or a newspaper. On the Continent, everybody wants to tell you his life story. Some years ago I travelled by train from London to Paris. It was my first visit to Paris so I made up my mind to tour round France for my holidays. As I was going on a long journey I took a lot of books with me. There was an Englishman in the compartment with me and, in a typically English way, he did not speak a word during our journey through the English countryside or while crossing the Channel. But the minute we were in France he said, “Ah, now we are in France, we can talk.” And for the rest of the trip to Paris he told me his life story.
