The Dialogue:
CHARLIE: Hello, Dom.
DOM: Oh, hi, Charlie. Are you enjoying yourself?
CHARLIE: Yes, thanks. But, I don't know anyone here apart from you, Jake and Diana.
DOM: Well, who do you want to know about?
CHARLIE: Who is the woman in the red dress?
DOM: Ah. That is Naomi. She's Diana's best friend from university.
CHARLIE: She is gorgeous.
DOM: Yes, she is. And, she's the happiest person I know.
CHARLIE: Really? DOM: And She is married. CHARLIE: Oh.
DOM: That is her husband next to her - the one in the blue suit. His name is Eric. He is a colleague of Jake's.
CHARLIE: What is he like?
DOM: Actually, he is the most boring person I have ever met in my life. All he talks about is work, work, work.
CHARLIE: And he is got the worst haircut ever.
DOM: Yes, you are right. I do not know why she married him.
CHARLIE: Who is he talking to?
DOM: Oh, that is Aunt Harriet. She is our richest relative. It is quite sad really - she never got married because she thought men only wanted her for her money. No one knows how much she has, but she has the biggest house you have ever seen and she lives there on her own. She is a bit strange.
CHARLIE Yes, she looks it.
DOM: And the guy talking to my brother is Rupert. He's Jake's best friend. Do you know a place called The Bug Bar in Market Street?
CHARLIE: Yes, I have been there once or twice.
DOM: Well, he owns it. Apparently, it is the most popular bar in town now. You have to queue to get in.
CHARLIE: Look, someone is waving at you.
DOM: Oh no. He is my least favorite relative. Hello, Uncle Patrick! How are you? That is my great-uncle Patrick. He is 90 next birthday.
CHARLIE: Wow! He does not look that old.
DOM: Yes, well, he is married to a much younger woman. She is only 76! Anyway, come with me and I will introduce you to Naomi's sister. I don't think she's married ...

1. The best thing about spending time with your family is a heart-to-heart talk and making every member feel like a part of something special.
2. The worst thing is when parents let their children do whatever they want. Besides, parents shouldn't yell at the kids or beat them.
3. I don't think that parents should be strict with their children, but it's a difficult question... It all depends on a child's character. I believe that parents should raise their children with love more that strictness.
4. I think that parents should be friends with kids. Parents and children should respect each other and care about and trust each other. But this friendship should not mean “nobody is in charge”. There should be some rules and standards and it is up to parents to be older and wiser.
