TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH
I grew up in a small town called Nausori. I stayed there with my family. I got, uh, three brothers, and I’m—I’m the only daughter. So… My family’s…um…um… My mother is a ... domestic work...and my father is a taxi driver. My most embarrassing moment is, uh, when, uh, I want to go to church. One day in, um… My father and my mother—my parents—they don’t like that, uh, church that I want to attend. So I went to the bedroom and I cried all night. I don’t want to talk about it until the next morning. And, um, my three brothers, they, um… all got their wives, they (laughs) only, um, the youngest one, um, he doesn’t have any kids.
