Lin:  Brian, what’s up? You look unhappy.

Brian: Oh, nothing particular, Lin. Just that I miss my family terribly.

Lin: Me too. How many people are there in your family?

Brian:  Four. My parents, my elder sister and I.

Lin:  What do they do?

Brian:  My father works in a computer company, and my mother is a nurse. My older sister studies in Beijing, and we email each other fairly often.

Lin:  Are your parents strict with you?

Brian:  Yes, I think so. When I was at home, I had to clean my own room, help with house chores, finish my homework before dinner time, get back home no later than 9:00 in the evening, and so no.

Lin:  That’s good for you. Do you get along well with your family?

Brian:  Sure. I’m lucky to live in a strict yet loving family. I love them.
