I: hi, Natasha, how's life?
N: great. My family came to visit me.
I: oh, you must be very happy. How many people are there in your family?
N: my immediate family is very large. It's my mother, my father, my two older brothers, my younger sister and me.
I: I have a small family. They are my parents, my younger brother and me.
N: I thought you were the only child in the family. Didn't China practice the only-child policy in the early 1980s?
I: yes, it did. But my parents are ethnic minority people. It's a preferential policy for an ethnic minority family to have two children.
N: interesting. What do you think about families with only one child?
I: the child must feel very longly. My younger brother is 10 years younger than me. Before he was born, I used to be the only child and always dreamed that I would have a younger sister or brother one day.
N: do you get along well with each other?
I: yes, we are very close. He is 12 years old and very smart. He always makes us laugh a lot.
N: you are very lucky to have such a nice family.
I: thank you.
嗨，娜塔莎，最近怎么樣？
挺好的，我家里人來了。
那你一定很高興了。順便問一下，你們家有幾口人？
我的直系親屬很多，有媽媽，爸爸，兩個哥哥，妹妹和我。
我家人不多。父母，弟弟和我。
我以為你是獨(dú)生子女呢。中國不是從20世紀(jì)80年代早期就開始實行計劃生育政策了嗎？
是的，的確是，不過我父母是少數(shù)民族的。少數(shù)民族極家庭可以享受優(yōu)惠政策生2個孩子。
挺有意思的，那你怎么看待獨(dú)生子女家庭呢？
我覺得孩子一定很孤獨(dú)。我弟弟比我小十歲。他出生之前，我一直是家里的獨(dú)生子，那時我一直希望自己能有個弟弟或妹妹。
那你們相處的好嗎？
是的，我們倆關(guān)系很好。他今年12歲了，很聰明。經(jīng)常逗得大家笑個不停。
你真幸運(yùn)，有這么幸福的家庭。
