PART 2 · LESSON 15 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Date of Birth

It's Wednesday morning, after the night of the frost, and Missus Wang suddenly remembers that nobody has registered Owen with the police. At the police station in the town below, a young officer fills in the form with him, and in the afternoon, on the top terrace, Owen learns what the frost will cost. Ask what day it is and what the date is, give a date with its year, your date of birth and your address, say you've come to register, say someone is a day late, say whose apprentice someone is, and say there's less of something, and it's dearer.
