Have you settled in well here? How is school for you?

Have you settled in well here? How is school for you?

Oh, school is all right. Tim and I are happy that we can go to school.

I'm glad to hear that. Keep up the good work!

Yes, that's right. I can concentrate better at school than at home, too.

Is that so?

Uh... yes. At home, the TV is on very loudly or my mother is cooking and clattering in the kitchen.

It's quieter to play on the stairs and more pleasant to study at school.

I understand.

And you get along with your brother Tim, too?

Yes, we look out for each other. And when you're new somewhere, it always helps to have a brother.

That's right...
