3:37

Oh, dear!

3:38

So, Neil, your sister has three children.

3:41

— Yeah. — What are the ages of them?

3:44

Well, for a start, they’re all boys!

3:47

OK. Oh, my gosh. That sounds very difficult!

— So out of all the kids he’s the oldest? — Yeah.

4:12

4:16

— Mm. — And they are five and two.

4:38

Oh, well! Are you sad?

4:40

No, I’m OK!

4:48

OK, let's quickly recap the vocabulary we learned in this conversation.
