ERIC: Wow, you have a big family. Who are all of these people?



SUSANNAH: Well, this is my mom and here's my dad. That's my brother David with his wife and their kids.



ERIC: They're cute! How old are they?



SUSANNAH: Well, Beth is ten, and Paul is five. Do you have any nieces or nephews?



ERIC: No, my family is pretty small -- just me, my mum, my dad, my brother and my grandfather.



SUSANNAH: Do you have an aunt or an uncle?



ERIC: Oh yeah, I forgot about my uncle. He lives in Australia, so I never get to see him or his family.





SUSANNAH: Would you like to have a big family?



ERIC: I guess so. Perhaps when I'm married I'll have three or four kids. But who knows? How about you?



SUSANNAH: I don't think I want that many. It's hard work to look after a big family. My grandmother had eight children!



ERIC: Wow, so you have seven aunts and uncles? How many cousins do you have?



SUSANNAH: Well, let me see . . . There are three, five, seven, eight, ten!



ERIC: Wow, I bet you get a lot of Christmas presents!
