Who are you waiting for?
It's Saturday at four p.m. I'm sitting in the lobby of Richard's hotel, smoking. My daughter Vera, sitting next to me, is reading a book. She's got a camera. Taking pictures is Vera's hobby. She wants to take some pictures today. Richard often sits here and waits for me, but today we're waiting for him. There he is! He's coming out of the elevator. Sometimes we walk to the office from the hotel. But we aren't walking to the office now. We're walking to the metro station.
Richard often asks me about myself. Now he's asking me about my family. How big is it? How old are they? What are their jobs? What are their hobbies? I have a large family and I show him our family tree.

We get to our house and take the elevator to the fifth floor. Richard keeps asking us questions. How much is the rent? Who owns our apartment? How many people share it? His last question is: do they speak English?
