Number 18, exercise 6.0:13
Listen to Daniel and Emma speaking about what annoys them in their parents and do the task from exercise 6.0:17
I love my dad, but he has absolutely no sense of rhythm.0:26
That wouldn't matter if he didn't insist, even at his advanced age, on dancing at parties and weddings.0:32
Worse than this, he once started playing an imaginary guitar in a CD shop.0:41
They were playing a track from the latest hit Parade, which Dad recognized.0:48
So he started jumping about like a madman, not caring.0:54
I was standing right beside him.0:58
I was shocked and embarrassed.1:00
Later he told me that when he was a teenager, he'd been in a band for a few weeks.1:05
Usually my mum is very sweet and tactful, but she has moments when she totally loses her tact and becomes dictatorial.1:13
You never know when this will occur.1:22
The most recent was when I was innocently watching TV and she suddenly stood in front of the telly shouting, you're not watching this stupid program, are you?1:24
You must have something better to do with your time than that.1:35
She went on like this for several minutes, but I was calm and patient with her.1:38
And after a bit, she calmed down again, leaving me in front of the telly watching my program.1:44
I think I've learned to avoid conflicts.1:51
The main thing is to control yourself.1:53
