1. - Well, Sam, I'll tell you how it is. You see, I married a widow and this wi­
dow had a daughter. Then my father, being a widower, married our daughter, so
you see, my father is my son-in-law.

- Yes, I see.

- Then, again, my step-daughter is my step-mother, isn't she? Well, then her mother is my grandmother, isn't she? I'm married to her, ain't I? So that makes me my own grandfather, doesn't it?

2. - Hi, Alan! How are you?

- Not bad, Jane, thanks. And you? How's your family?

- Oh, we are surviving! My husband's away on a business trip, which leaves me running the house and looking after the kids on my own.

- That's tough. It takes a lot out of you, doesn't it?

- You're not kidding. I tell you, at 9.00 in the evening I just collapse into an armchair in front of the telly. Still, Dave's back soon, thank goodness.

3. - How are your daughters, Mrs. Adams?

- Thank you, everything's OK. Julie has just been made a managing director of their company. She's certainly the carrier girl of the family.

- And how's Jane and her kids?

- She's a happy housewife. You see, four children fill up almost all her time.

4. - We're having a house-warming party on the 12th. Can you come?

- Yes, you bet. We'd love to! But I didn't know you'd moved.

- Yes, two weeks ago. This flat is much bigger than the old one. A huge kitchen and 3 big rooms.

- It sounds wonderful.

- Yes,but there's much more housework to do!
-That's a drag!

5. - Do you have a flat of your own?

- No, I rent a flat.

- But flats are so expensive to rent.

- Yes, but I prefer to lead an independent life. My parents' flat is rather spa­
cious, but I found a flat as soon as I started my job.
