Conversation 2

Hello Samara, Good evening!
Good evening Ritinha. How are you?
I'm fine, thanks. What about you?
Likewise. Tell me my friend...Did you understand that class about occupation?
Yes. I did. Why?
Can you explain me what does an accountant do?
It's a piece of cake, Samara!
An accountant makes a piece of cake?
You are funny Samara. I mean that this question is very easy.
Oh my goodness!
Well Samara, as far as I'm concerned an accountant is a person that works with the money and accounts of a company.
Congratulations! What about the architect?
An architect designs buildings and houses.
Very smart! You are really very smart.
It's my time to ask Samara.
Go ahead girl! I'm prepared for everything.
Ok. Tell me what &nbsp;an astronomer is...
Astronomer? You mean that person who studies the stars and the universe?
Are you kidding me? What about the author? What does he do?
He writes books and novels.
Novels? You mean " O outro " with Francisco Cuoco was written by an author?
No way! A novel is a romance...a book that tells love stories. " O outro" is a soap opera.
You are very intelligent Samara.
Thanks my friend! it's very kind of you. Now tell me...Is there any Baker in your family?
No. There is not any baker in my family but there is a bus driver.
Who drives buses in your family?
My father does. He is a very good bus driver.
My father is an actor. He is very famous in Hollywood.
Is your father a Hollywood actor? What's his name?
His name is Robert Deniro.
If Robert Deniro is your father , he certainly know my cousin.
Your cousin? Who is she? Is she an actress?
Of course she is. Did you watch " Tomb Raider "?
Yes, I watched it. I loved Lara Croft.
So my cousin was the actress that played Lara Croft.
Are you Angelina Jolie's cousin? Oh my goodness!
