Passage translation．
My wife has brown hair，dark eyes，and a gentle disposition．Because of her gentle disposition，I sometimes think that she spoils the children．She can＇t refuse them anything．They always get around her．Ethel and I have been married for ten years．We both come from Morristown，New Jersey，and I can＇t even remember when I first met her．Our marriage has always seemed happy and resourceful to me．We live in a walk-up in the East Fifties．Our son，Carl，who is six，goes to a good private school，and our daughter，who is four，won＇t go to school until next year．We often find fault with the way we were educated，but we seem to be struggling to raise our children along the same lines，and when the time comes，I suppose they＇ll go to the same school and colleges that we went to．
