Julia:
|
Oh, hi Geng. What are you
doing?
|
|
Geng:
|
I'm filling in this form.
Hey, what's the date today? Is it the sixth?
|
|
Julia:
|
No it's the fifth of February.
It's my brother's birthday today.
|
|
Geng:
|
Really? How old is he?
|
|
Julia:
|
Nineteen. He's the baby of
the family.
|
|
Geng:
|
Do you have any other brothers
and sisters?
|
|
Julia:
|
No, there are only two of
us. What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?
|
|
Geng:
|
Yes, I have two sisters and
a brother. They live in Bangkok. Look! I have a photo of them
in my wallet.
|
|
Julia:
|
Oh, show me!
|
|
Geng:
|
That's my brother, Piak, my
sister, Samlee and my sister, Noi. And that's my mother, my
father and my grandmother.
|
|
Julia:
|
Do they all live together?
|
|
Geng:
|
Yes they do. Now my cousin,
Aeh, is living with them too. His family lives in a small town
but he is studying in Bangkok.
|
|
Julia:
|
How old is your brother? He
looks young.
|
|
Geng:
|
Yeah, he's 16. He's a high
school student.
|
|
Julia:
|
And who's this?
|
|
Geng:
|
My sister Noi. She's a nurse.
|
|
Julia:
|
Oh, is this your mother?
|
|
Geng:
|
Yes.
|
|
Julia:
|
She's very beautiful. Does
she work?
|
|
Geng:
|
Yes, she helps my father with
our family business and looks after my family and our house.
My father has an import/ export business.
|
|
Julia:
|
Uh huh - and this
is your grandmother. How old is she?
|
|
Geng:
|
I don't know. I think about
90.
|
|
Julia:
|
Really? You have a lovely
family, Geng.
|
|
Geng:
|
Mmm. I really miss them.
