Life in the village

At the age of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, I started school.

There was only one teacher with about thirty children from six to eleven.

We sat on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} wooden benches in the same room.

In the evenings I used to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and then sit with my mother and younger brother in front of the fire, listening to the radio.

Life later on

When I was eleven, I started going to a secondary school in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Later I went to university, where I studied {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

There was no doubt that I went back to the village after that.

Speaker 1

I live in a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} flat.

The flat was built about  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} years ago.

I live with my husband and two {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

The flat has a large kitchen but a small bathroom.

Speaker 2

I live in a small town.

I live with my five cats and three dogs.

The kitchen is small but easy for me to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

There is a small garden where I often spend my time gardening or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
