F2F Class Notes 21st June (Harmony) [1]

Retell:

Last Sunday I went to visit my aunt with my mother.  There’s some problem with her eyes and will have an operation soon.  The doctor told her if she won’t have the operation immediately maybe she will go blind in the future.  When we arrived my aunt’s house she was sitting on the bed and looked a little unhappy and frail.  Initially she didn’t say a word, after a few minutes she told us something about her daughter.  She complained my cousin hadn’t seen her for two weeks and she hadn’t call her mother either.  My aunt wanted me to communicate with my cousin I tried, but didn’t succeed.
