Polished transcript:

Male Female

I would like to talk about my maternal grandfather, who is one of the most incredible people I know. He is 70 years old and a loving family man with a big heart. When I was a child, he would always visit us, and I still remember the time he bought me a toy stroller. He really loves his family, and you can see it in his interactions with us. Interestingly, both my grandfather and I are chemists, and we often discuss various topics related to drugs and chemistry. Last time we talked about how common antibiotics are in our country despite their potential harm. The conversations not only expand my knowledge but also strengthen our bond. I feel a sense of longing when I think about the inevitability of life and the facts. Then one day, I won't be able to see my dear grandfather, who has given me so much care and love.
