A TREASURED MEMORY
One of the most vivid memories from my childhood and early teenage years was the Sunday dinner. My mum would do
the cooking, while Alice, my elder sister, was supposed to lay the table, although she would sometimes protest that
I was old enough to do the job as well. Dad, however, was glad to do that himself if he was not on duty at the hospital.
I was quite happy to stay in my room with a book until I was eventually called to join them at the table.
For some reason, I could not understand at the time why my mum insisted that the dinner be a fairly formal event. We
all wore nice clothes and were told to keep our elbows off the table. reading newspapers or watching TV was out of the
question. But it would be unfair to say I was bored during those meals. There was always an interesting conversation
going on at the table. Nothing serious, just things that had happened to each of us during the week. My dad would
always tell us some interesting stories from work.
Now, thirty years on, I recall those family dinners with some sentiment. It is true that those dinners were a lot of trouble
when compared with the quick, convenient meals people eat these days. The efforts involved in the preparation helped
to integrate us as a family and respect the time we spent together. More than that, the dinners were a great lesson in
the art of conversation and table manners.

A He was often made to help his sister set the table.

D He thought he was old enough to help his sister.
2 During the dinner, the writer’s family usually
A ate in silence.

C discussed serious topics.
D talked about everyday matters.
3 Nowadays, the writer thinks that those family dinners
A were too much trouble.
B taught him important skills.
C are not a pleasant memory.
