How to Say Yes (Audio)

1. Does your name have a special meaning?
2. Is your name important to you?
3. Do you live with your parents?
4. Are you married?
5. Do you have any kids?


1. It does. My name literally means ‘honest’ and also my family name’s equivalent in English is ‘powerful’

2. I think so. I think that my name says a lot about my family background and personality in general.

3. I do so. At present, I live with my parents, but I'm going to live independently as soon as I have financial and emotional Independence.

4. I am. Next week, I'm celebrating my tenth wedding anniversary. It's been fun 10 years.

5. Sure. I have a boisterous son who is four and I have a cute little daughter who’s just turned one. I'm crazy about my kids.


How to Say No (Audio)

1. Do you have strict parents?
2. Are you happy with your family life?
3. Would you like to live with your parents after you get married?
4. Can you speak openly and freely with your parents?
5. Are there any particular rules in your family?


1. I don't. Luckily, my parents are easy-going. In other words, they give me all the freedom I need in almost every situation. In fact, trust and respect rule in our family.

2. Not really. I live alone and it gets lonely and blue at times, and I always wish that I had my family right beside me, which is out of question because I'm a foreign student.

3. Not the least. I think it's a terrible idea that..and...and it's a recipe for conflict and domestic problems. We are all better off living apart. This way, we won't get sensitive to each other and it would always be a fresh change to see your parents after some time. Like they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder

4. Yes and No. Some issues are best kept secret, but some subjects can be shared. I think my daily routine is something that I can always put on the table, but dishing out my private affairs is unnecessary.

5. I guess not. We don't need to be told and everybody knows their limits ,and we try not to overstep those limits or to cross the line like every other family. The golden rule is all for one and one for all
