We like to go out and have food and play games and we can be quite loud,

2:25

even though there aren't many of us.

2:27

OK, it sounds like you get on well with your family. Is that right?

2:32

Yeah, definitely, yeah.

2:33

I love spending time with my cousin and she has two children.

2:38

What about you? Do you get on well with your sister?

2:42

Yes, I get on well with my sister.

2:44

We don't see each other very often, because we don't live in the same place.

2:50

But when we see each other, we have a nice time.

2:53

We catch up and chat.

2:56

Mm.

2:57

So, Beth, we have used the expression 'get on well with' someone.

3:04

What does that mean?

3:05

Well, that means that you 'have a good relationship' with them.

3:08

So, if you get on well with your sister,

3:12

it means when you're together you're happy, you're not fighting.

3:16

It's easy to have good conversation.

3:18

You don't really have any arguments.

3:20

Maybe when you were a child, you didn't get on well with your sister.

3:25

I don't know.

3:26

Yes, I think now that we are grown-ups,

3:29

it's easier to get on well with your siblings!

3:33

When... When... When I was a kid, maybe I was a bit mean to her.

3:37

Oh, dear!
