　　Isthma: Yes, I have a mom, a dad, an older brother, and a younger sister.

 

　　Sunny: So, in your family, who likes to read?

 

　　Isthma: In my family, my dad loves to read. He reads like every day. He reads the newspaper, and he reads books that he has on his shelves, and he buys more. He's a researcher¹, so he requires² reading³ for his job. The person who doesn't like reading the most is actually me. I don't really like reading, because it's kind of boring sometimes. My dad sometimes gets mad at me if I'm, you know, watching TV, because - It's a waste of time, and it's better reading. You, guys, should get knowledge and you'll learn something from it. So yeah, my dad loves reading.

 

　　Sunny: Oh, how about cooking?

 

　　Isthma: Cooking - oh, this is an obvious⁴ one. My mom loves cooking. She loves cooking when she was a child. And in her college days, I think she won a competition on cooking. Until now, she cooks. Usually, her cookings are very simple, but until now, I don't get bored of it, and it's so delicious as it is.

 

　　Sunny: How about you and other family members?

 

　　Isthma: Oh, I think I'm the worst, maybe, or my brother, because we don't really usually visit the kitchen unless we want to get ice cream or some cakes or anything. But I try to help her, at least, in the kitchen when she asks me to. I don't really initiate⁵ to go there, but yeah, I think we, my brother and I, would be the worst I think. And my dad, as well; he doesn't really know where the kitchen is. So, yeah.

 

　　Sunny: And who likes listening to music or singing?

 

　　Isthma: Um, I think I love - my family loves music. We can't sing, but we do love music. We love listening to different types of music: the classical⁶, pop. But I don't think my mom would like hip-hop, because it's not good for her, you know, hearing⁷. But yeah, most of my family members love music. We like watching concerts if we have the chance.

 

　　Sunny: Okay. What about shopping?

 

　　Isthma: Shopping - shopping for food would be my mom, of course, because she knows she's the one that's going to cook and she knows what ingredient⁸ that needs to be bought. However, for clothes, I think it would be me and my brother, because we love shopping. But we help each other a lot in shopping; I mean, if we want to buy our goods⁹, or our necessary goods, we usually ask our mom if we can buy it or not, and she usually buys it for us. And yeah, we help each other a lot in the list of shopping.
