M: Are you quite independent of them now?
W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse. I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents, but I’m rather lucky, because I get on very well with mine. What about you?
