[speaker001:] How many people are there in your family?
[speaker002:] There are 15 people in my family.
[speaker001:] What did you say? How many?
[speaker002:] 15 people.
[speaker001:] Wow. That is a very big family. Do you all live together?
[speaker002:] Of course we do! My father's parents, Mum, Dad, three unmarried aunts, two uncles, my two brothers, my three sisters and me.
[speaker001:] But you don't live at home anymore.
[speaker002:] Right, but that's where my heart is. But you're right, now there are only 14 living at home.
[speaker001:] My goodness! Your family must live in a huge house.
[speaker002:] Yes. My family lives in rural Korea, near Pusan. We have a huge house.The first floor of the house is a part-time private school.In the afternoon, students come for special tutoring in biology, Englis
[speaker001:] Wow! you grew up in a school! No wonder your English is excellent!
[speaker002:] My aunts and uncles are all teachers.
[speaker001:] You are so lucky!
[speaker002:] I guess so. While growing up, I read hundreds of interesting English storybooks every year.
[speaker001:] That's what i did in America. I was reading all the time. I was never a big TV watcher. TV wastes time.
[speaker002:] I agree. Reading for fun is why all the English students at our family school have excellent English. All the students read 800 easy storybooks during their second year of studying English.
[speaker001:] 800 books? I'm impressed!
[speaker002:] My aunts studied in the American universities.They say that extensive reading for fun is the most effective way to improve your English.That 's what they learn here in America.
