Part 1に引き続き、家族・親族に関する用語を復習します。マーティンはサーカスを訪れ、サーカスに出演している家族に話を聞きます。

MARTIN:

Do your children work in the circus?

SALAMA:

Three of them do. Our oldest son is in the army.

MARTIN:

Do they like the work?

SALAMA:

They like other children. It is nice for the children in the audience to see children in the circus. It's good for the families.

MARTIN:

Do they go to school?

SALAMA:

Of course. In the winter they go to a real school. In the summer, they have a tutor.

MARTIN:

What do they do in the circus?

SALAMA:

One son and one daughter are clowns. They are part of a clown family. The other daughter is a gymnast. She works with another family of gymnasts. Do you see that young girl over there?

MARTIN:

The one wearing green?

SALAMA:

Yes, that's the one. That's our daughter.

MARTIN:

She's very beautiful.

SALAMA:

Thank you. She's very talented. She's won awards in school for gymnastics.

MARTIN:

I would like to talk to the family of gymnasts.

SALAMA:

They will finish in a few minutes.

MARTIN:

Hi. I'm Martin Learner. I'm a reporter. Can I ask a few questions?

TODD:

Sure. We're the Todds. I'm Jerry Todd.

MARTIN:

All of you belong to one family.

TODD:

Yes, we're all related. Well, except this one. She's Zulu and Salama's daughter.

MARTIN:

That's wonderful. Tell me how you're related.

TODD:

This is my wife.

MARTIN:

Hello. Are all of these your children?

TODD:

No, no. Some are nieces and nephews. These are my children. All the others are our nieces and nephews. The children are cousins.

MARTIN:

One, two, three. . . There are ten children.

TODD:

We like working with children. This old man is my father-in-law.

Grandfather:

I'm old, but strong.

TODD:

He holds all these children on his shoulders. And this beautiful lady is my mother-in-law.

MARTIN:

I'm interested in circus families. Let me see. You are all cousins. Whose niece are you?

NIECE:

I'm uncle Jerry's niece. And this is my brother. He's uncle Jerry's nephew.

NEPHEW:

I'm aunt Amy's nephew too.

MARTIN:

Are your parents with the circus?

NIECE:

Yes, they are.

NEPHEW:

But they aren't gymnasts.

MARTIN:

Do you have any other cousins?

NIECE:

I don't think so. Do we?

NEPHEW:

We have some cousins in Florida.

NIECE:

Oh, yes. I forgot. They aren't with the circus.

MARTIN:

Let's see. Some of these children are your grandchildren.
Grandfather: That's right.

MARTIN:

Do you like working with your grandparents?

NEPHEW:

It's OK.

NIECE:

I like it. My grandmother teaches me.

TODD:

She teaches all of us.
