Anna looks at old photos with her grandmother.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Семейный альбом (The family album)

Анна и бабушка смотрят семейный альбом.

«Я родилась в тысяча девятьсот пятидесятом году, — говорит бабушка, — а твоя мама — в тысяча девятьсот восьмидесятом».

Анна улыбается: она родилась в две тысячи пятом году.
