• Christina: Well, my most unforeeitable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down.
• Interviewer: Really? How did it happen?
• Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.
• Interviewer: What were you doing at that time?
• Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire.
• Interviewer: That's terrible! Hem did you escape?
• Christina: I was terrible. Then I heard my mother's voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn.
• Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way?
• Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me to grow up.
• Interviewer: What do you mean?
• Christina: Well, before the fire. 1 was selfish. 1 always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or hem few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn't really need my old things. I just needed my family. After all, you can set new clothes anytime, but a family can never be replaced.
• Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it give you something, too.

I always complained to my mother about how (1)……small…..my room was or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed (2)……everything…..we owned.

The fire (5)…took….many things from me, but it gave me something, too. It tauaht me to (6)……love…my family more than things.

3. After you listen

Christina says that family is more important than things. Do you agree with her? Why? Exchange your ideas with a parner.

(Christina nói rằng gia đình quan trọng hơn đồ vật. Bạn đồng ý với cô ấy không ? Tại sao? Trao đổi với một bạn học của bạn.)

Suggestion:

I agree with her because family is important. You can get back things you’ve lost, but when you lose your family, you lose everything, and you can not have your family again for just once.
