Meet Susan Adams, my new colleague. She's beautiful, isn't she! Susan's an economist and her husband's an economist, too. His name's Ken. He isn't exactly a handsome man, but he's nice. Susan and Ken have got two sons, John and Mike.

John's seventeen. He's a student at a medical school in Glasgow [:], and he's got a job at a big new hospital. It's a difficult job, but it's useful, and he's happy.

Mike isn't at college yet. He's only fifteen and he's still at school. Mike's got a hobby. It's music. He's got a big collection of classical music and some lovely old jazz.
