Mom

Ruth: So, Akane, tell me about your family. Who do you get on well with in your family? Akane: Well, I think I get along the best with my mother, I would say. Ruth: So, why is that? Akane: Well, I think it probably has to do with the fact that we're both female. I mean the only other people in my family are my father and my brother. Ruth: So, what does your mom look like? Akane: Well, she's actually taller than me. She has dark hair and a pretty firm build. Um, she's not too thin and not too fat, and yeah! Ruth: And what does you mom do? Does she have a job? Akane: Oh, good question. She's actually a hair dresser. (Wow) Yeah, so she does my hair and she's also an aesthetician as well so I get free skin care products from her. Ruth: Oh, that's fantastic. Akane: Yeah. Ruth: So what does your mom like to do when she is not working? Akane: Well, she used to take sewing lessons, so she really likes to sew things like her own curtains and she even made me some clothes a few times. Ruth: Wow, so she's talented. Akane: Yeah, she's quite artistic. Ruth: So when did you last see your mom or speak to your mom? Akane: Well, the last time I saw her was this spring. I stayed at my parents house for about a week and, yeah, that's when I saw her. Ruth: Was that a couple of months ago? Akane: Yeah, a couple of months ago, that's right. Ruth: And what was the last thing your mom bought for you? Akane: Actually, just before I came here, we went shopping together and because I have to fly away to a new country she bought me some new clothes. She bought me a new coat actually. Ruth: Wow, that's really nice. Well, thanks for that Akane. Akane: Thanks.

Akane: Bem, eu acho que me dou melhor com minha mãe, eu diria. Akane: Mislim, da se najbolje razumem z mamo. Ruth: So, why is that? Ruth: Então, por que isso? Akane: Well, I think it probably has to do with the fact that we’re both female. Akane: Bem, eu acho que provavelmente tem a ver com o fato de que nós duas somos mulheres. Akane: Verjetno je to povezano z dejstvom, da sva obe ženski. Akane: Sanırım bunun ikimizin de kadın olmasıyla bir ilgisi var. Акане: Ну, я думаю, це, мабуть, пов'язано з тим, що ми обидві жінки.
