Susan: Good afternoon, everyone! Today we’re talking about the family and its role in our life. And our special guest in the studio is Katerina Zhukova. Ok, Katya, tell us something about your family.
Katya: My family is rather big. It consists of mother, father, little brother, grandparents, uncle, 3 aunts and 4 male cousins and me.
Susan: Have you finished? Well, that's a whole lot of people, indeed. As they say, the entire circle of life can be found under one roof.
Katya: No, you get it wrong. I'm of course talking about my extended family. As they say, size doesn't matter, it's how you use it that counts. Every member of my family is highly important to me.
Susan: Right. And what do your parents do?
Katya: My mother is 43 and she works in a restaurant. Her work takes a lot of time, but she is satisfied with it, anyway. My father is 45 and he is an entrepreneur. He has been working in the furniture industry for more than 20 years.
Susan: Seems like he's not much of an entrepreneur, as long as your Mum has to toil hard. At least there’s always plenty of food in your fridge, right?
Katya: Yes, there is. We like hosting friends. My mother and I usually cook something special. I am good at baking. I like treating our guests with excuisite desserts and cakes.
Susan: You say your family is of highly importance for you. Every member of it. What's so important about your grandparents?
Katya: My grandparents are calm and caring. My grandfather is an honoured surgeon in the country. He is 70 but he still works a lot and operates almost every day. My grandmother used to be a teacher at school and also a professor of English. My grandparents play a significant role in my education and life.
Susan: Could you be more specific? What kind of role?
Katya: Well, my parents and grandparents planted a love of learning to me. They taught me good manners, correct impression of what a family is, which qualities any person should have.
Susan: I noticed you didn't mention anything about pets during our dialogue. Usually, when people talk about their families, they willingly reveal the names of their four-legged friends. Anyway, it's time to call it a day for us. Thank you for your beautiful family story, Katay.
Katya: Thank you. I wish everyone has a big happy family! To my mind, family plays one of the main roles in everyone’s life. Family lays the groundwork for personality.
