Jessica talks about her mom and dad and how they are different. (Level: advanced)
JESSICA
Okay, uh, my mother and father. Let's see. My mom is three years older than my dad, and they are like night and day. My mom is, uh, 5 foot 4 on a good day, 5 foot 2, I think, in real life, and she is very sweet and very nice, and very caring, and umm very cute. Everybody tells her how young she looks, and how she resembles my sister, perhaps.My father is very much completely opposite that. He is a very big man, very loud, very funny, very boisterous. He…he makes friends no matter where he goes. For example, sometimes he goes to Florida and makes all sorts of new friends, so just go by himself and he's kind of a magnent to people, and so my parents are completely opposite, and they complement each other very well. My dad has a very good sense of humor. My mom is very gentle, very nice.
TODD
Wow. When was the last time you talked to your parents?
JESSICA
Uh, I talked to ‘em probably about two weeks ago. Yeah, everything is going well.
TODD
Ok, are you going to see them soon?
JESSICA
Uh, I am gonna go home after the holidays and we're gonna have a Christmas kind of… in January or February. Yeah, depending on when my brother can come in.
TODD
Ok, if you are more like your mother or your father?
JESSICA
Umm, I think I have traits of both, actually. I look more like my mother, umm except that I am about a foot taller (laughs) …yeah, I resemble my mom more. But I think I have both of the characteristics of my mom and dad.
