Rob: Wow! Is this your new house?
Dave: No, I’m just looking after it while my neighbors are away. They’re travelling around Europe at the moment.
Rob: Oh, I see. Such a gorgeous interior! Your neighbors must be really rich.
Dave: They are pretty well-off, but surprisingly simple people. They’ll never look down on you or anything like that…
Rob: I’ll go look around, if you don’t mind. Oh, it’s their library. Stunning! They have an amazing collection of books about art.
Dave: Yeah, Mr White is a scholar, and he even lectured at one of the European universities before he retired. He’s a smart fellow. I really look up to him.
Rob: I’d like to look through these books on the Renaissance for my college art project. I just spotted a few books that I didn’t manage to find in the library. Let me see… what do they have here?
Dave: Look out! Something’s falling on you!
Rob: Oops! Oh well… Let me look at the cover. Hey, it’s the book on Michelangelo I’ve been looking for!
Cindy: How are you getting on with your son, Lynn? He’s in his teens, right?
Lynn: Right. He’s thirteen actually. We basically get along well, though arguments do occur sometimes… Why are you asking?
Cindy: Mine is fifteen, and I’ve been having trouble with him lately. He’s always getting up to something naughty and complains that I am always getting at him!
Lynn: Are you?
Cindy: Well, at times. I can’t get over how much time he spends hanging out with his friends or playing video games. He sometimes doesn’t get around to doing his homework for hours… But he needs to study! I doubt he will get through his exams at all.
Lynn: I think you should just talk it over… And try to get your point across carefully. These teenagers are so sensitive and quick-tempered.
Cindy: Ok, I’ll try to. Who knows, maybe I’ll manage to get through to him.
