Question 5 of 55
Read the complete conversation, then do the vocabulary exercise below:
Todd: OK. Kerri, I’ve heard you talk about your father quite a bit. He sounds like a very interesting man. Can you talk a little bit about him?
Kerri: Sure. My dad’s name is Robert and he’s an interesting guy. He’s retired now and lives in Oregon and in his free time he’s building an airplane
Todd: Wow!
Kerri: Yeah!
Todd: So can he fly a plane as well?
Kerri: Yeah, he has a private pilot’s license.
Todd: Wow, that must be pretty difficult. He’s actually making a plane from scratch.
Kerri: Yeah. Well, he used to be an airplane mechanic, quite a while ago. But yeah, he’s doing all the riveting, building all the different parts of the plane and assembling it.
Todd: Wow! So when do you think he’s going to be finished?
Kerri: I don’t know. I got an email from him recently that said he’s just putting the tail section on soon. But I haven’t seen a picture of that yet.
Todd: Wow. So are you going to go in this plane with your father as soon as it’s finished?
Kerri: Definitely. I hope so. He’s having someone else test fly it first, which made me happy when I found out. Although I trust his work cause he’s meticulous, but it made me feel good that someone else is going to try it for the first time, but yeah, after it’s finished and when he’s ready to take up passengers.
Todd: Cool. Sounds fun. Kerri: Yeah. I think so.
