Now, listen again and follow along with the script below.
​
Dad:  So, hey Tom . . .  What’s up?  Tell me, now that we live in Vancouver, what's it like?  What do you do every day?
Tom:  Oh, nothing much . . . .
Dad:  What?  Nothing much?  Come on, tell me a little bit about what you do every day.
Tom:  You mean, like what time I get up every day, and stuff like that?
Dad:  Yes! Exactly!  Yes!
Tom: Well, okay.  I usually get up at . . . I don’t know.  Maybe . . . around 7:30 every morning.
Dad:  And that’s why I don’t see you in the mornings. 
Tom: 
Because you leave for work at 7:00, right?  You’re already gone when I get up.
Dad:  Uh-huh, that’s right.  I leave for work quite early, at 6:45.  So what time do you leave for school?  
Tom:  I get out the door at about 8:30.  My first class starts at 9:00.  I guess I’m lucky, because I don’t have to take a bus to
            school, I can walk.  It only takes about 20 minutes.  I don’t like taking the bus very much.
Dad:  That’s great!  But when it rains, do you still walk?
Tom:  No.  Then I catch a bus.  And then it just takes a few minutes to get to school.  It’s not so far.
Dad:  And what time do you have lunch?  You eat lunch, right?
Tom:  Of course I eat lunch!  I eat lunch at noon.  I always eat with my friends, and I usually have sandwiches.  My best friend,
            Omar, likes to eat rice.  But we only have 20 minutes for lunch.  It’s not very much time.
Dad:  No, it’s not.  And then what time do you finish school?
Tom:  At three.  And I’m usually home by three-twenty or three-thirty.
Dad:  And then, after you get home . . . ?  What do you do then?  Do you just sit on the sofa and watch TV?
Tom:  Well, no.  Mom makes sure I finish my homework before we eat dinner.  And after dinner, well, you know – the three
            of us play a board game together, or watch TV, . . . or go out to the park to play.
Dad:  Hey, I’ve got an idea!  We’re already finished dinner.  Let’s go out to the park!
Tom:  And let’s bring a ball to kick around!
