❌ 2. My family's very rich.

✅ 3. I love weddings.

✅ 4. Maha and I are exactly the same age.

❌ 5. I like looking at myself in the mirror.

✅ 6. I'm really into music.

❌ 7. Sssh! I'm listening to a song on my phone.

Exercise 4: Listen to an alternative version of the same conversation. In pairs, discuss the difference between them.
