Conversation typique avec votre famille d'accueil

Hi, I’m Lucie, how are you?
Very well and you? We are so glad to meet you!
I am also doing very well and am glad to meet you.
How was your trip? Was the flight was okay?
Yes, it went well.
Great! We’ll show you your room and introduce you to the kids.
Okay.
Here’s Todd, Matt, and Rachel.
Great to meet you.
Here’s where you’ll be sleeping.
Okay.
Now, we’ll explain your schedule. Do you have any questions before we start?
No thank you.
Alright, so you’ll drop off the kids at 8. You will have to pick them up from school at 4 and take them to practice. While they’re gone, you’ll cook them dinner and then pick them up from practice at 6 and feed them. Does that make sense?
Yes, thank you. Also, what time will you be home?
We should both be back around 8.
Okay, is there anything I need to do in the meantime?
It’d be great if you could put in a load of laundry and take the dog for a walk.
What should I do with them before dinner?
You can give them a snack and you can take them out to play in the backyard, if you like.
Also do they have any allergies or other health problems? Is there anything I should watch out for?
Todd is allergic to tomatoes so make sure not to put those in his meals.
