Answer the question in about 130 words: What have you learned about the married life of the couple ? Sample:
The couple are probably in their late 50's or early 60's, and they have been married for thirty years. They thought they love each other and know each other well. But like many other cou-ples, they actually have some serious disagreements on some important issues, which sometimes make them feel like strangers. The wife is a woman of principle. She can not tolerate racism for example. So when her husband shows his racist attitude toward blacks she is very upset. They start arguing. The husband tries to please his wife finally by pretending to have changed his view. But she refuses to be footed. Once again, they feel like strangers to each other. The story shows that racism can exist in subtle ways and that for a successful marriage husband and wife should share the basic values. (136 words)
