Cinthia - Hello teacher, what's up?
Teacher- Nothing special darling. What are you doing here?
Cinthia - I'm looking for some book with regard to family relationship.
Teacher - Which relationship?
Cinthia- For instance , How do you say the daughter of my aunt?
Teacher - It's cousin.
Cinthia- That's interesting. What about her son?
Teacher - You say cousin for both of them.
Cinthia - dope! Well , my sister Aline doesn't have any son . What if she had one... how should I call him?
Teacher - Call him by his name.
Cinthia - lol! I don't know his name ...I mean ...
Teacher - I know what you mean, I was kidding! Your sister's son will be your nephew.
Cinthia - Nephew. Ok. What if he were a girl?
Teacher - If he were a girl he wouldn't be "he" but "she.
Cinthia- You are funny teacher! I am annoying you , aren't I?
Teacher- No way girl! It's a pleasure to help you. If your sister had a daughter, she would be your niece.
Cinthia- So, it's nephew for boys and niece for girls.
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Cinthia - What?
Teacher - I said that you are right!

Lesson 8
Family Relationship - Part 2
Student x Teacher
Student-
Hello Teacher! How've you been?
Teacher -
I've been ok . What's up? Why did you call me here?
Student -
Don't take me wrong teacher...but I'm a little concerned about that
Relationship homework you asked me to do.
Teacher -
Oh , really? What's the matter?
Student -
May I call my sister's husband by uncle?
Teacher -
No, you can't. Your uncle is your mother's or your father's brother. Your
sister's husband is your brother-in-law.
Student - Really? If I had a brother , would his wife
be my sister-in-law?
Teacher -
That's the ticket!
Student - How nice! Let me see if I understood the
whole picture. My boyfriend's mother is
my mother-in-law.
Teacher -
I'd say that she will be your mother-in-law if you marry him.
Student -
But may I call her like that?
Teacher -
It's up to you. You can call his father like father-in-law...
Student - Oh my gosh! You are opening my mind. Now I
can understand many things...my boyfriend's
sister once said that I was her sister in law because I was dating her brother...now I know
she is my sister in law too. That's awesome! ...I think I'm their daughter in
law ...
Teacher -
You are going to blow the roof of the mother with this homework.
Student - I will if you keep helping me. May I take
advantage of this call ?
Teacher -
Of course! That's what teachers are for!
Student -
Thanks a lot teacher! Well, could you please explain me the difference between
a step-brother and half-brother? I'm getting bored to death trying to figure it
out.
Teacher -
half brothers have one biological parent in common, by the other hand , step
brother is only related through marriage. like if your dad remarries,( I hope
it never happens ) his new wife's kids would be your step brothers and step
sisters.
Student - Just
for you to know teacher, my dad loves my
mom too much and we will be together for good! I think I understood ...let me
see ...If Britney my youngest sister were just my father's daughter , she would
be my half-sister, wouldn't she?
Teacher -
That's the ticket!
Student-
Come to think of it, if my father marries again his new wife's children would
be my step-siblings, alright?
Teacher -
Yeah! but as you told me before , this will never happen...
Student- I
don't wanna get any "step - something" in my life...I'm happy with
the family I have...
Teacher - I
agree! You have a big and happy family!
