Assisted Living Mini-Story Lesson

Hello and welcome to the mini-story lesson for the conversation “Assisted Living.”

Okay, let’s get started with the story now.

* * * * *

Jackie has her hands full. She works as a lawyer for twelve hours every day. She needs a vacation

because she is really stressed out.

Jackie’s cousin Mary lives in Thailand. She told Jackie to visit her in Thailand.

“I don’t want to put you out,” said Jackie.

“I want you to visit,” said Mary.

So Jackie flew to Thailand.

Jackie really loved Thailand. Mary had told her that she would really like it so she knew it was bound

to happen.

One day Jackie was at a café and she met a bunch of dolphins. The dolphins were playing music in

the café. They needed a new singer so they asked Jackie to join the band. Jackie was so happy. She

really enjoyed singing in the band so she decided to stay in Thailand.

Every once in a while Jackie thinks about being a lawyer, but she never wants to do it again.

* * * * *

Okay, so that brings us to the end of our story. Now, as always, I will read the story again and I will ask

questions as I read it this time. You can answer the questions out loud after I ask them if you wish and if you

need a little more time, you can always press pause on your iPod or your computer or whatever you’re

playing the lesson on. And then you can press play again when you feel like you’ve had enough time to

answer the question. And, of course, if you just want to listen, that’s fine as well. You don’t need to answer

the questions out loud.

Okay, let’s get started.
