Audio Clips

1.

Сын, объясни мне, что ты целый день в телефоне делаешь?

Son, explain to me what you do on your phone all day.
2.

Да просто новости читаю, в соцсетях с друзьями переписываюсь.

I'm just reading news and chatting with friends on social media.
3.

В наше время, чтоб пообщаться, во двор выходили. А вы теперь носу из гаджетов не показываете.

In my time, we went out into the yard to socialize. And you all now don't pull your noses out of your gadgets.
4.

Время другое, пап. Мы и вживую встречаемся, но и онлайн удобно поддерживать связь.

Times are different, Dad. We meet in person too, but it's also convenient to keep in touch online.
5.

Понимаю, конечно... Но всё равно странно. Вместо живого разговора - сообщения эти бесконечные.

I understand, of course... but it's still strange. Instead of a live conversation, it's these endless messages.
6.

Не волнуйся, мы общаемся нормально. Просто у нас больше возможностей: можем и позвонить, и написать, как удобно.

Don't worry, we communicate just fine. We just have more options: we can call or text, whatever's convenient.
7.

Ну ладно. Главное, чтобы глаза на месте остались от экрана.

Alright. The main thing is that your eyes don't fall out from staring at the screen.
8.

Ха-ха, не переживай. Всё будет хорошо, технологии - это не так страшно.

Ha ha, don't worry. It'll be fine; technology isn't that scary.
