• Uaireanta, bíonn argóintí beaga againn faoi ghnáthrudaí a tharlaíonn i ngach teach, ach dhéanfainn rud ar bith do mo chlann!

• Sometimes, we have small arguments about ordinary things that happen in every house, but I would do anything for my family!

• Tugann siad an-tacaíocht dom nuair a bhím mé faoi bhrú ón scoil - rud atá lárnach i mo shaol faoi láthair. They give me a lot of support when I am under pressure from school - something central in my life currently.

• Ní réitím go maith le mo chlann faoi láthair. I don't get on well with my family currently.

• Mothaím faoi bhrú agus bíonn go leor torainn sa teach. I feel under pressure and there is a lot of noise in the house.
