Understanding Tone and Attitude in a Grandfather-Granddaughter Conversation
Listen to the following conversation between a grandfather and his granddaughter:
Grandfather: I was just reminiscing about the good old days when I used to play in the fields. Do you think kids today would enjoy that?
Granddaughter: I think they would! But maybe they'd need some video games to go with it.
Grandfather: Ha! You know, it’s nice to have both. But there’s something special about being outdoors, feeling the grass and hearing the birds sing.
Granddaughter: That’s true! I love nature walks with you, Grandpa!
