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 email 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 9:00 in the evening, and so no.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. Narrator: You may begin to prepare your response after the beep. [2 seconds beep]
