I introduce unexplained pictures, items and things to the visitors."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'But that is a hard job.

I love this job very much.'} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'I see. You will learn a lot from it.'}]

That must be very convenient.'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Yes, you're right. I can blog wherever and whenever I'm on the move.

It's 12 hours from Beijing. What about Thailand? 6 hours on the plane to Phuket isn't that bad and I always love Thai food."}]

Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other's problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before."}
