【英语口语】美语情景对话 第4期:我的父母

Jessica: OK, my mother and father. Let’s see. Mymom is three years older than my dad, and they arelike night and day. My mom is 5 foot 4, on a good day, 5 foot 2, I think in real life, and she isvery sweet and very nice, and very caring, and very cute, everybody tells her how young shelooks, and how she resembles my sister, perhaps. My father is very much completely oppositethat. He is a very big man, very loud, very funny, very boisterous. He makes friends no matterwhere he goes. For example, sometimes he goes to Florida and makes all sorts of good friends. He’ll just go off. He’s kind of a magnet to people, and so my parents are completely opposite, and they complement each other very well. My dad has a very good sense of humor. My momis very gentle. Very nice.

Todd: When is the last time you talked to you parents?

Jessica: I talked to them probably about two weeks ago. Yeah, everything is going well.

Todd: Are you going to see them soon?

Jessica: I am going to go home after the holidays and we’re going to have a Christmas kind ofin January or February. Yeah, depending on when my brother can come in.

Todd: OK. And who are you more like, your mother or your father?

Jessica: I think I have traits of both, actually. I look more like my mother, except that I amabout a foot taller. Yeah, I resemble my mom more. I think I have both of the characteristicsof my mom and dad.

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks.
