单集简介 ...

[977] Recently I visited my parents at their home, and while I was there I took the time to record conversations with them both. This first one is with my mum. I asked her questions about her life story, our family history, her memories of growing up and so many other things that I was curious about. The result is this recording. I hope you will find that it is not only good for your English listening practice, but also fascinating and absorbing as a piece of personal history. Full transcript available.

  • Hello, listeners.

  • Welcome back to Luke's English Podcast.

  • In this episode, you can hear a conversation with my mum and it's a really nice one.

  • I think that you're going to enjoy it very much and I feel glad that I took the time to do this and I'm very happy that my mum was happy to come back on the podcast and record another conversation with me.

  • So the situation was that a couple of weeks ago,

  • I went and stayed with my parents for a few days, went to visit them, I went on my own,

  • didn't bring my family, it was just me,

  • just a chance for me to have some sort of one-to-one time with my mum and dad.

  • and help them with some things at home, just a few little odd jobs and things like that.

  • And I don't get to see my parents all that much these days

  • because obviously I live in a different country and so it requires a lot of organization to go and stay with them and things like that.

  • So it was very nice to be able to spend some time together with them.

  • And I thought that I wanted to really kind of make the most of that sort of quality time together and how,

  • how do you make the most of sort of time that you spend with your parents?

  • I suppose for me and us at this age that involves talking and sitting and listening to them

  • because I guess you have to make the most of these situations

  • because often it's not until it's too late that you realise that there are questions that you should have asked your parents or things you wanted to know about their lives.

  • And as you get older,

  • you get more perspective on your life and you start to understand perhaps what your parents went through,

  • what their lives must have been like, having family, bringing up children.
