Unit 5 Understanding Short Conversations W: I’ll never forgive myself for not being there at Mom’s side when she died. M: Don’t beat yourself up about this. You were there with her so much of her life, so you have nothing to be ashamed of. Q: Why shouldn’t the woman feel bad about not being there when her mother died? W: Before his death, Grandpa said we should always be generous with each other. M: That’s Grandpa, always telling others what to do. But I’m not so sure he followed his own advice. I, for one, never saw him share with anyone. Q: According to the man, what kind of person was Grandpa? W: Now that Dad has passed away, we need to prepare some words to say about his life. M: We should tell others what he told us--- to make the world a better place by being loving people. I’m sure the rest of the family would appreciate this. Q: What does the man think that they should talk about? W: My father keep asking me to take him to a suicide doctor. He says he’s ready to die. M: Since his illness is beyond cure, maybe you should respect his wishes. I know you don’t agree, but it’s his life and his choice. Q: What does the man think? W: Though she didn’t say so, I think Mom would want me to have some of her money now that she has passed away M: You can have all of it! I don’t care about the money; I only care about honoring her memory. Q: What does the man care about? W: I don’t know why Grandma didn’t want us to be in the hospital with her when she passed away. M: Well, you know, she was a nurse. So she saw a lot of death. It’s an ugly thing, and she didn’t want us to see it. Q: Why did Grandma want the speakers to stay away from her when she passed away? W: Do you ever wonder what will happen after death? I mean, is there a heaven, or… M: Ah, don’t be silly! When you’re dead, you’re dead! And that’s all there is to it! Nothing can convince me otherwise! Q: What are the speakers talking about? W: I hear you perform assisted suicides for old people. Is that right? M
