I was watching Rain Man on DVD the other day when a part of the dialogue really 2 caught my attention. In fact I 3 was so surprised that I rewound the film to make sure I 4 had heard correctly. In the film, the character Raymond Babbitt, who is autistic, claimed that Qantas was the only airline that 5 never had never had a crash. I 6 went online to check out this fact. Apparently it wasn’t 100% true. At the time of the making of the film, Qantas 7 had had eight crashes but they 8 had all been propeller planes, not jets. I also 9 found out that all airlines (except for Qantas, of course) 10 took this line out of the film when they 11 were showing it on flights at the time. 1 My dad used to be a doctor but he retired. 2 I’m not used to (getting up) early. 3 When I was a teenager, I used to (ride) my bike everywhere. 4 When I first arrived in Brazil I wasn’t used to (kissing) people when I met them. 5 My grandmother used to (tell) us great bedtime stories. 6 He’s a pilot so he’s used to (working) long hours. 7 She used to (be) my friend but we had an argument. 8 After two years in Italy, I’m used to (drinking) strong coffee.
My name is Alina. I have a small family, but I love them. My mother's name is Olga. She is short and she has dark short hair. My father doesn't live with us, but I often meet him. He is very tall and his hair is dark. I have three grandmothers and they are fond of gardening. Also I have a lot of cousins. Five sisters, two brothers and two nieces. My cousin Lera is my classmate. I often visit my cousin Alena. We are talking about different things. I can't tell you them all, because there are too many of them. And also I have a cat Sonya. She is very interesting and active. Sonya is often sleeping on me or next to.
