Question

Listen to two of Angela's children, Sophie and Jerome, talking about the business. In what ways do they agree / disagree with what their mother said?

Answer

Sophie

  • Agrees: She sounds like a strong character, which is in line with what her mother says, but she doesn’t actually agree with anything her mother said.
  • Disagrees: She doesn’t want to take over the business and wants to become a scientist instead.

Jerome

  • Agrees: He likes the fashion and design aspect of the business. His comments about romance might suggest he lacks business skills (as his mother says), but not necessarily.
  • Disagrees: He would like to run the company.
