Hello again, Teacher Michael!
Here are my answers:
1. Jack met his girlfriend’s family for the first time yesterday.
2. His girlfriend’s grandmother got angry with Jack when Jack asked her how old she was.
I was 10 years old when I started learning English. I am really crazy about learning foreign languages.
This is very useful podcast indeed. I really loved it!
Thank you a lot, Teacher Michael! 🙂
