0:07 In this lesson, we will see how to talk about common things related to your children.
0:17 Hey Katie. What’s up ?
0:20 Hey Patrick. I’m going to Paula’s school. I think she messed up again.
0:24 That’s the third time this month. Why don’t you talk to her?
0:29 I did. I guess she’s all worried about her exams. She’s under a lot of pressure.
0:35 She’s a freshman. The first year can be tough.
0:39 I know. I talked to her four three hours yesterday.There’s a lot of pressure on students these days.
0:46 She didn’t listen to me and just started crying
0:50 That’s bad, Katie. Maybe you should take her to a therapist.
0:54 I think that’s exactly what I’ll do.
1:03 Hey Shawna. Can you help me out with something?
1:06 Sure Katie. What is it?
1:09 Paula’s been under a lot of pressure lately. I don’t know what to do.
1:14 Why don't you ask her to join something she likes? What are her hobbies?
1:18 Well, she likes to play her guitar. She also likes painting and sketching.
1:25 Do you think she’ll like to join an art or music class?
1:29 I think so. Music and art are her favorite hobbies.
1:33 Great then. I know a place which offers weekend programs for teenagers. We can go there tomorrow.
1:38 Thanks a lot Shawna.
1:46 Hey! I’m Penny. We just moved here last week.
1:50 I’m Katie. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the neighbourhood. Anything I can help you out with?
1:56 Actually, yes. My son is a freshman and I don’t know anything about schools around here.
2:03 My daughter’s a freshman too. She goes to Belmont. It’s a nice school
2:08 Oh, really? That’s nice. Does Belmont have a good football team?
2:12 My son was in his last school’s football team. He wants to continue playing.
2:17 Sure. Don’t worry about it. It’s a great school. I take my daughter to school every morning.
2:22 You should come with us and have a look around.
2:26 That would be great. Thank you.
