[00:14.25]Dating with My Mother (Part One)

[00:17.81]Exercise 1

[00:20.81]Listen to the recording

[00:22.55]and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. [00:26.00]After 22 years of marriage,

[00:30.70]I have discovered the secret

[00:32.83]to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. [00:36.99]I started dating with another woman.

[00:40.18]It was Peggy's idea.

[00:42.76]One day she said to me,

[00:44.75]"Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. [00:49.67]You probably won't believe me,

[00:51.84]but I know you love her

[00:53.46]and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, [00:56.60]it will make us closer."

[00:58.71]The "other" woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, [01:04.27]a 72-year-old widow

[01:06.55]who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. [01:10.59]Right after his death,

[01:12.66]I moved 2,500 miles away

[01:15.60]to California and started my own life and career.

[01:19.72]When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, [01:23.40]I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. [01:27.15]But with the demands of my job and three kids, [01:30.84]I never got around to seeing her much

[01:33.29]beyond family get-togethers and holidays.

[01:36.03]Mom was surprised and suspicious

[01:39.17]when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.

[01:43.24]"What's wrong?" she asked.

[01:45.89]"I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,"

I said. [01:49.71]"Just the two of us."

[01:51.46]"I would like that a lot," she said.

[01:54.11]When I pulled into her driveway,

[01:56.26]she was waiting by the door with her coat on.

[01:58.81]Her hair was curled, and she was smiling.

[02:01.94]"I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, [02:05.44]and they were all impressed.

[02:07.59]They can't wait to hear about our evening," Mother said. [02:10.72]Questions

[02:14.32]1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy? [02:20.32]2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?

[02:25.99]3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy? [02:33.76]Exercise 2

[04:29.97]Dating with My Mother (Part Two)

[04:33.87]Exercise 1

[04:36.66]Listen to the recording and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

[04:41.21]We didn't go anywhere fancy,

[04:45.49]just a neighborhood place where we could talk.

[04:47.97]Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, [04:52.17]I had to read the menu for both of us.

[04:55.04]"I used to be the reader when you were little," she said. [04:59.42]"Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the

favor," I said. [05:04.32]We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. [05:09.44]We talked for so long that we missed the movie.

[05:12.92]"I'll go out with you again," my mother said as I dropped her off, [05:17.67]"but only if you let me buy dinner next time."

[05:20.65]I agreed.

[05:22.11]"How was your date?" my wife asked when I got home that evening. [05:26.17]"Nice … nicer than I thought it would be," I said.

[05:30.06]Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. [05:33.98]Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk.

[05:37.97]I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. [05:43.20]Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. [05:48.02]Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory [05:51.56]during the Second World War.

[05:53.50]I know how she met my father there,

[05:55.93]and know how they went through the difficult times.

[05:59.16]I can't get enough of these stories.

[06:01.87]They are important to me, a part of my history.

[06:05.18]We also talk about the future.

[06:07.49]Because of health problems,

[06:09.80]my mother worries about the days ahead.

[06:12.45]Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. [06:17.69]Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage. [06:23.00]Questions

[06:26.47]1. What does the story mainly tell us?
