Episode 144: A call from China

Helen’s mum:	So how are you my dear?
Helen:	Pretty good mum.
Mum:	That’s nice to hear. I know it’s been difficult getting over that boy Michal. But I’ve noticed that you seem a bit more cheerful these days. You’re working harder at uni. And you’ve got that nice boy John to help you too.
Helen:	Yeah, I suppose that’s true. So what’s new with you?
Mum:	Well your grandma phoned me the other day. She really wants you to go over to Beijing and visit her soon.
Helen:	Oh I’d love to see laolao.
Mum:	But the flight to China is expensive. I’m not sure if we can afford it just now. I need to talk it over with your father.
Helen:	Please mum! Please!
