[Speaker 1] Guitar, but sometimes I play bass too. I switch off with a friend.

[Speaker 2] What a fun hobby! I wish I could incorporate music into my outdoor hobbies.

[Speaker 1] It's a great way to scratch that creative itch. I'm sure you could! You could always listen, or sing or hum. Heck you could even carry a little acoustic or uke around.

[Speaker 2] Do you play music for your mom?

[Speaker 1] I do sometimes. It's always a bit embarrassing haha, but she enjoys to listen when I practice sometimes. Have you seen your mom recently ?

[Speaker 2] I went skiing with her last month. It is a hobby that we share and bond over.

[Speaker 1] That's really fun! I'm terrible at skiing, but it's such a fun way to spend a day. What difficulty slopes can you do?

[Speaker 2] I hit the black diamond with mom for the first time! It was challenging, but fun!

[Speaker 1] That's super impressive. Your family must be athletic.

[Speaker 2] We are. We have always been very athletically active in outdoor sports. Do you like outdoor sports?

[Speaker 1] I just practiced a new song my band's working on for my mom and her exact words were, "that rocks!" How cheesy, right? Love her.

[Speaker 2] That's really cute. How is your mom doing?

[Speaker 1] Oh she's good.  She says she is going to quit her day job to be my manager.  How is your Mom?  Any other ski trips planned before the snow melts?

[Speaker 2] Is she joking or is your band taking off? I want to make one more skiing trip this weekend but I'm not sure if any slopes are open.

[Speaker 1] Oh she's definitely joking, I think? We're still in the practice in a garage phase. Your trip will be fun to bond, even if the slopes aren't good. Most places have tubing open still!

[Speaker 2] Tubing sounds fun! Would you be interested in coming this weekend?

[Speaker 1] If I didn't have to work this weekend I might take you up on that. I usually have every other weekend off. Do you work a 9-5?

[Speaker 2] That's too bad, maybe some other time. I work at an office during the weekdays. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I'm an x-ray rech at an urgent care type facility.  When I work weekends, I have a few days off during the week, which is great for practicing

[Speaker 2] Very cool. What's the strangest thing you've ever seen on an x-ray?

[Speaker 1] Oh a nail from a nail gun through a wrist! His hand slipped when someone bumped the drywall he was using.  It hurt just looking at it

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Driving is not in my vocabulary, tattoos are fine, three on me

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work? I am a mechanic

[Speaker 2] Good and you? Can you talk about my dad?

[Speaker 1] Sure, what would you like to tell me about your dad?

[Speaker 2] I'm not familiar with my dad

[Speaker 1] Have you ever met your dad?

[Speaker 2] The book store is where I work

[Speaker 1] What kind of books do you sell?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my dad is great I think.

[Speaker 1] Why do you think he's great?

[Speaker 2] My mother work as a nurse

[Speaker 1] Have you ever been in the military? I was when I was younger

[Speaker 2] Because he's a mechanic, I love cars.

I am a mechanic.
I was in the military when I was young.

I have three tattoos.

I don't drive.

I work at a book store.

I am not familiar with my dad. I think my dad is great. My mom is a nurse.

I love cars.

[Speaker 1] I worked on a cool new Mustang that came in the shop today for repairs.

[Speaker 2] Woah, what year was the Mustang and what condition?

[Speaker 1] It was a pretty good condition, it was an early 80's mustang. I wish I could drive it after working on it. Have you ever been the passenger in a mustang before?

[Speaker 2] Nope, never I've never been in a Mustang before. Maybe if you ask the owner they'll let you take it for a test drive when you finish the repairs.

[Speaker 1] The policies at my work do not allow that. And being in the military really taught me to follow the rules. Since you love cars, what car do you plan on getting when you are able to drive?

[Speaker 2] Hmm I was thinking of getting some sort of classic convertible. I really like the look of classic cars. Do you got any recommendations?

[Speaker 1] Get a corvette. That car will have you falling in love everyday, especially those classic corvettes. I also like the look of classic cars, but recently I was in a Porsche 911 and fell in love.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, yeah! Corvette sounds like a good idea. A bit out of my price range right now, but I can save up a bit more for it. What color paint do you think I should go with or should I wrap it?

[Speaker 1] Wrap it first just in case you want to do something exotic. I really like the classic colors, but at the car shows those colorful cars really pop out. How much do you need to save to get that car?

[Speaker 2] Hmm probably around 40k more without taxes and fees. I should probably check out a Porsche 911 at a car show before I buy it though.

[Speaker 1] I was just working on one this past weekend, it was a 4 seater and ran so smooth. It was a 2019, but that car was amazing! That is a good amount to save. Have you thought about renting those nice cars?

[Speaker 2] I've never thought about renting. I've only thought about buying the car outright.How much does renting cost?

I was in the military when I was young.

I am a car mechanic. I like Ford Mustangs. I like fast cars.

I have three tattoos.

I'm not old enough to drive yet. I like classic cars. I don't have enough money to buy a car right now.

I work at a book store.

[Speaker 1] Renting cost depends on the car and service you go through but if you're serious about buying a classic car I'd look into trying it.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to buy a classic car just don't have any money right now I'm working at a bookstore to save up.

[Speaker 1] how can you get a car then if you have no money?

[Speaker 2] I can't. that is why i am working at a book store to save up for a a car. I am also not old enough to drive yet.

[Speaker 1] how old are you? when do you think you will be able to afford a car?

[Speaker 2] I'm 15. and I think in 1 year i will have enough money.

[Speaker 1] that is great, by then you can go to a driving school and get a driving licence

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is the plan. Luckily in my state we can drive at 16 and I'm really excited to get out there and be on the road. Do you like mustangs?

[Speaker 1] I love mustangs, I love classic cars

[Speaker 2] So what do you think about the new electric mustang then?

[Speaker 1] I think it is a great invention. it will be a hit

[Speaker 2] Yeah they look pretty interesting I'm just curious because a lot of classic car enthusiasts are not super keen on seeing a sports card turned into an electric car but it seems like you're positive on it so that is a good thing right?

[Speaker 1] That must be great. I bet they have time for family.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun.

[Speaker 2] It is and I have an eyebrow piercing too.

Since young I've loved fashion.

My desire is to become a fashion designer.

I moved to ny to study in a prestigious designing school.

My inspirations are alexander mcqueen and coco chanel.

I love to go shopping and inspire myself in stylish stores.

I am constantly drinking.

If I'm not drinking, I'm thinking, which makes me uncomfortable.

I cannot hold down a job for very long.

My family loves me, but keeps their distance.

I blame myself for all of my problems.

When I was little I enjoyed clothes.

I have a good sense of style.

I went to new york city to become a famous designer.

I'm really in to fashion.

Fashion is one of my favorite hobbies.

I seem to never stop getting drunk.

I like to party and not study.

I'm unable to keep employment for any considerable length of time.

I am a loner.

I have a hard time forgiving myself.

[Speaker 1] Hey there. Are you into fashion?

[Speaker 2] Not really are you?

[Speaker 1] Ever since I was a young girl! I am in school for it now!

[Speaker 2] I like to go to bars and clubs, I could use some new clothes.

[Speaker 1] You could come hang with me in ny and I will doll you up!

[Speaker 2] Yes we can go for a few drinks in ny.

[Speaker 1] And go shopping in all the stylish stores!

[Speaker 2] I'm not working right now so I'm available to come to ny anytime.

[Speaker 1] When I become a fashion designer you can be my assistant and make me coffee!

[Speaker 2] I don't know about coffee, I can make you a great martini.

[Speaker 1] We will create a special coffee martini and call it the coco chanel!

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be great! When can I come visit?

[Speaker 1] After I stop using exclamation points!!!!!

[Speaker 2] Great I cannot wait to see you and I taste that coffee martini.

I live in New York. I go to school for fashion. I want to become a fashion designer.

I am not into fashion.

I like to go to bars and clubs. I can make a great martini. I can come to New York anytime

I am unemployed right now.

[Speaker 1] I saw an advertisement for a bartending position in New York that would be perfect for you.

[Speaker 2] Really!? Is it a popular place?

[Speaker 1] It is very popular. They have lines around the block every night. I think you would make a lot of money there.

[Speaker 2] That does sound like a good option. I'd love to come visit some time and check it out. We should find a weekend you're free. How's school been?

[Speaker 1] School is great! I am learning a lot and really growing as a designer. I will make you something beautiful.

[Speaker 2] That'd be an honor, I'm sure my fashion could use some work haha. I can wear it to the bar when I visit!

[Speaker 1] Yes. I will make you something that will be perfect for a bartender interview.

[Speaker 2] How's the weather looking next weekend for you there? I know there's been lots of snow.

[Speaker 1] More snow, I am afraid. I am so ready for spring. I feel like this winter has been brutal. How has your weather been?

[Speaker 2] We've gotten a bit too, nothing as much as there, but still a good amount for North Carolina. Maybe we should switch haha.

[Speaker 1] Well, at least you can enjoy the weather while you are unemployed. Make the most of it because you will be back to work soon.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully I will! It's not nearly as fun as it sounds

I am not into fashion.

I am unemployed right now.

I live in North Carolina.

[Speaker 1] I have a couple weekends that are free coming up so you can come for a visit.

[Speaker 2] Awesome!  How is the weather this time of year?

[Speaker 1] It's nice this time of year. How is the weather in North Carolina right now?

[Speaker 2] It's been beautiful, but as long as New York is nice too, I am ready to head up.  I haven't been in years.

[Speaker 1] Since you are unemployed I bet you have tons of freedom. When can you come visit?

[Speaker 2] How about next weekend?  With Easter coming up, I probably will see family, but I have no plans next week.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. What would you like to do when you visit New York?

[Speaker 2] I was going to leave that up to you.  I want to experience a typical weekend for a New Yorker and not just as a tourist.

[Speaker 1] There are plenty of bars and clubs available that we can visit!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah!  I am always down for that!  North Carolina is great, but I swear I know everyone and all the bars around here.  I bet New York is lit!

[Speaker 1] It is huge so I think it will be a lot of fun.

[Speaker 2] I bet there is never a dull moment in NYC.  Who knows, maybe I won't want to ever come back.

[Speaker 2] My dad has a reeeeaaallly nice chess set I grew up playing.

[Speaker 1] Nice. Yeah, I've this beautiful marble set.

[Speaker 2] That is really cool. Are you a soccer fan?

I've an older brother.
I live in the city.
I work in a bookstore.
I love my girlfriend.

I am a vegan.

I've an 18 year old son.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing? I live in cleveland, you?

[Speaker 2] Hi there I live in wisconsin.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I've lots of books about wisconsin in my store. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I used to be a stay at home mom but my son just moved out.

[Speaker 1] Now what do you do? I'd travel if that were me.

[Speaker 2] I keep busy volunteering walking dogs and some petition work. Have you been to wi?

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I did a weekend getaway up there the last time we were in chicago.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. I heard they have a great vegan restaurant in chicago, my favorite!

[Speaker 1] They have a lot of great restaurants in chicago! My older brother lives there.

[Speaker 2] I wish they had them here. It is hard finding ready made vegan dishes.

[Speaker 1] You can make your own and freeze, that is what my girlfriend does.

[Speaker 2] Me too! Great time saver. My dog tries to steal scraps. You have pets?

[Speaker 1] We don't, our apartment is way too small for a pet.

[Speaker 2] Bummer. I've 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 birds. They are very entertaining!

I live in an apartment in Cleveland.

I have a store.

I have a girlfriend.

I have an older brother who lives in Chicago.

I do not have pets.

I live in Wisconsin.

I was a stay at home mother. My son just moved out.

I walk dogs and do petition work for volunteer work.

I have two dogs, one cat, three birds.

I am a vegan.

[Speaker 1] My older brother told me of a petition in Chicago for a new dog park, would you be interested in signing it?

[Speaker 2] I would be happy to sign it!

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear, my older brother will be so happy. He lives in Chicago and is a dog owner, and they have no dog parks there! Do they have dog parks where you live?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they come in handy for my 2 dogs. Do you not like pets, or just dont have the time for one?

[Speaker 1] I love pets. However I simply do not have any time to take care of anyone but myself. My store keeps me so busy. Perhaps if my girlfriend agreed to take on the responsibility, but as of right now it doesn't seem possible.

[Speaker 2] They are very time consuming. What kind of store do you have?

[Speaker 1] My store is a small Gift Shop that sells souvenirs to the tourists who visit Cleveland. Do you find your many pets to be time consuming with your lifestyle?

[Speaker 2] They used to be, but since my son is out of the house now not so much. I can take my dogs with me while I do volunteer work. my cat and birds stay home. Sometimes that can be an issue if they are left alone though.

[Speaker 1] I bet life has gotten easier since your son left. Do you miss him? I bet your pets help fill part of the void.

[Speaker 2] I do miss him but he lives close so we still get together. My pets miss him just as much, but they do help me deal with an empty nest.

[Speaker 1] How big is your house? I live in a rather small apartment, which is another reason that I can't see myself getting any pets right now.

[Speaker 2] It's a 3 bedroom, we are getting ready to downsize into a "tiny home"

I live in an apartment in Cleveland.

I have an older brother who lives in Chicago and has a dog.

I am interested in social causes.

I love pets but work too much to care for one. I do not have pets. I have a girlfriend.

I own a small gift shop in Cleveland.

I live in Wisconsin.

I was a stay at home mother. I live in a 3 bedroom home but am about to move. My adult son just moved out but lives close.

I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 birds.

I am a vegan.

[Speaker 1] I just got in a great dog magnet at the gift shop and am sending it to you as a thank you for signing my brother's petition!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's so nice of you! How are things going at your shop?

[Speaker 1] Not so good but the Easter Holidays are making things to look up

[Speaker 2] What kinds of things did you get in for Easter?

[Speaker 1] Some symbolic items for christians and some knick knacks for others to gift.

[Speaker 2] I bet people will love that. If I ever get a chance to go to Cleveland, I'll have to look up your place!

[Speaker 1] Yes! please do pass by.Have you moved?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, we're still looking around and hoping to find the perfect place. Packing up is taking longer than we expected.

[Speaker 1] Finding a home is a tedious job,but very rewarding when you get one.And your adult son?

[Speaker 2] He's all settled in and loves his new place. He was a little nervous to be on his own but seems to be adjusting just fine.

[Speaker 1] Thats is awesome.All the best to him

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I'll be sure to pass on your well wishes to him.

[Speaker 1] You can suggest that she tries.  Do you live close to her?

[Speaker 2] Yes. She's only about 15 minutes away. What kind of plants do you recommend she start with if she takes up gardening?

[Speaker 1] If she uses herbs to cook, she can start with basil or cilantro.

[Speaker 2] I have been to the lake for a few days camping. Do you like camping?

[Speaker 1] I am ok with camping.  I don't make it a point to do it a lot, but I am usually good for a weekend campout when the weather cooperates.  I especially like areas that are near major tributaries that I can take my boat in.

[Speaker 2] Where all have you traveled to by boat?

[Speaker 1] Exactly.  It is so convenient for me if I can pretty much only use the boat.

[Speaker 2] What areas do you like to travel?

[Speaker 1] Since I love my boat, it helps that the weather is nicer.  In a way, I'm like those birds that keep migrating south once the weather gets cool.  Where do you like to go?

I live in japan and own the biggest mansion in the country.

I drive a ferrari.

I just bought a new mansion.

I always put my left sock on first.

I have a condition that prevents me from going to high altitudes.

Spiders scare the life out of me.

My mother raised me by herself while working two jobs.

I pray to god for my family every morning.

I am on the road with a music performer.

I can spit rhymes like a boss.

I live in the largest house in the island nation near china.

I've a german car.

I moved into a big house.

I have a way I prefer to do things.

I have health issues where I can not travel to higher levels.

I do not like insects.

My female parent does it all on her own.

I'm a religious person.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am new to this area just bought a mansion

[Speaker 2] Welcome to the neighborhood! I cannot go to high altitude because of a condition

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that I love the mountains!

[Speaker 2] Do you like creatures? I get so scared of spiders!

[Speaker 1] I love all creatures. What is your occupation?

[Speaker 2] Respiratory therapist! My mother worked two jobs while raising me alone.

[Speaker 1] I see I come from poverty but now I am a big rapper!

[Speaker 2] Well that is great for you!

[Speaker 1] I live in japan. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] Never. Are you spiritual? I pray for my family to god.

[Speaker 1] I thank god for my rapping career and huge mansion

[Speaker 2] Do you have any habits? My left sock must always go on first!

[Speaker 1] I have to carry my lucky pen wherever I go!

[Speaker 2] Is that the pen you write your dope rhymes with?

[Speaker 1] Yes only the best. My mentor is frank ocean

[Speaker 2] I never heard of her.

I just moved. I own a mansion. I live in japan. I am a big rapper. I used to live in poverty.

I love the mountains. I love all creatures.

I carry a lucky pen wherever i go.

My mentor is frank ocean.

I have a condition.

I am scared of spiders.

I am a respiratory therapist. I have a single mother.

I am spiritual.

I have odd habits.

[Speaker 1] What medical condition do you have?

[Speaker 2] Well, I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm slow losing the ability to walk with my legs. I'll likely be in a wheelchair by the end of the year.

[Speaker 1] Wow - I'm so sorry to hear that.  Is there anything you can do to get better, like physical therapy or surgery or anything?

[Speaker 2] Of course I will try. I'm seeing a physical therapist that is at my hospital but I don't think he's much good.  I've recently learned about the power of spiritual crystals. I'm going to try to harness some of their energy.

[Speaker 1] Well I wish you the best of luck with that!  I don't know much about spiritual crystals, but it's worth a try!  I have a lucky pen and I swear it helps things to go my way.  Who knows if it's just superstition, but it doesn't hurt anything at least.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, maybe I need a lucky pen or something.  I do have my amber cystals.  I really think my spider incident last month is what caused my condition.

[Speaker 1] Yuck, I hate spiders.  What happened, were you bitten?

[Speaker 2] I had a spider dream that I was caught in their web. And when I woke up, I saw this nasty brown spider on my leg. I swear he was laughing at me, and ever since then my legs have become weaker and weaker.

[Speaker 1] How strange!   Maybe the spider bit you and you just didn't feel it since you were sleeping.  Fortunately there aren't many spiders where I live.  Which country are you from?

[Speaker 2] I live in Australia. Hence all the big bad spiders.  I should be used to them by now, but I really think that they are just out to get me.

[Speaker 1] Yea, I've heard there are tons of nasty ones there.  I've always wanted to visit Australia.  Which part would you recommend visiting?

[Speaker 2] I'm from Syndney so I guess I'm biased when I tell you that it is the best part. You should really do a rap tour here in Australia, that way you could see the whole country!

I just moved. I own a mansion. I live in japan. I am a big rapper. My mentor is frank ocean. I used to live in poverty.

I carry a lucky pen wherever i go.

I hate spiders. There aren't many spiders where I live.

I haven't been to Australia.

I have a condition. I am scared of spiders. I was bitten by a spider. I had a bad dream about being caught in a spider web. My legs are becoming weaker.

I am spiritual.

I have odd habits.

I live in Australia. I am from Sydney.

[Speaker 1] I am actually booking a trip to Australia for a rap tour!

[Speaker 2] There are big spiders in Australia, you better watch out!

[Speaker 1] I should be fine if I stay in a fancy hotel, right????

[Speaker 2] Yes! I think you will have  an amazing  time in Australia. If you come to Sydney maybe we can hang out

[Speaker 1] Definetely. I wonder if I can hire a spider wrangle for my entourage to keep me safe...

[Speaker 2] You should be fine if you stay in the city. Just stay out of the jungle

[Speaker 1] Will do. Any advice on things to do while I'm in Australia?

[Speaker 2] You can go on some nature safaris and meet monkeys. There's a lot of good clubs and pubs if you enjoy the night life, the beach it beautiful

[Speaker 1] I didn't know there were monkeys there. Maybe I should stick to the clubs instead.

[Speaker 2] Oh... I meant kangaroos ha ha I'm getting tired

[Speaker 1] No problem. Me too. It has got to be exhausting being a single mother.

[Speaker 2] It's very draining, and working full time on top of my parental duties is tough


I grew up on a farm.

I eat eggs and bacon for breakfast.

On weekends I go out with friends.

When I turned 18, my family moved across the country.

I do not work.
I hate tacos.
I like to swim.
My favorite drink is chocolate milk.

I like a full meal at the start of the morning.

I'm social.

When I hit manhood I left home.

I have no job.
I don't like mexican food.
I love the water.
I really like sugary drinks.
I have no hair.

[Speaker 1] Good morning, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hey, how is it going?

[Speaker 1] Things are good. I'm eating breakfast of eggs and bacon.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice, that sounds good. I usually have cereal for breakfast, but with chocolate milk.

[Speaker 1] I like milk. I get mine fresh from the source since I live on a farm

[Speaker 2] I have heard farm life is hard, especially waking up early everyday.

[Speaker 1] On weekends I hang out with friends so it is not too bad.

[Speaker 2] My weekends are the only time I get to the pool and get some swimming done.

[Speaker 1] Swimming sounds fun. I never learned. Do you work?

[Speaker 2] No I am not working at this moment, taking time to explore my options. You?

[Speaker 1] The farm is my job. I've here since my family moved when I was 18

[Speaker 2] Do you think you will be a farmer for life?

[Speaker 1] Its all I know so yeah.

[Speaker 2] I wish I had a thing like that, a clear purpose. Maybe in time.

I am not a vegetarian.

I am a farmer. I live on a farm. I have cows. I like milk.

I do not know how to swim.

I am over 18 years old.

My favorite drink is chocolate milk.
I am unemployed. I am not a farmer.
I like to swim.

[Speaker 1] I'd like to take up swimming.  Do you know of any good instructors?

[Speaker 2] I am self taught in swimming. I learned to swim by just diving into the lakes near my house when I was growing up. The best teacher is experience! Do you have any lakes or other bodies of water by your farm?

[Speaker 1] Yes, there is a big lake the cows like to drink from. Should I just dive into the lake and see what happens?

[Speaker 2] Well, you should be careful and have someone there with you. I kind of just dove in there but I kind of wish I had more support. Unless you think your cows can help you out if you are in trouble!

[Speaker 1] That is good advice. My favorite cow, Daisy, used to always run up to me when I went outside with hay for them.

[Speaker 2] Aww that is so cute! If I was on a farm I'd be hitting up my cows for chocolate milk all day! Do you ever make your own chocolate milk?

[Speaker 1] Its a big misconception that cows produce chocolate milk. You have to add cocoa powder to the milk first. But yes, we do make our own and sell it to the local neighborhood.

[Speaker 2] I never knew that, I always thought it came out like that. Huh, the more you know. As you know, I am not a farmer so I have little experience in that sort of stuff. I just really love chocolate milk. Do you drink your own cows milk?

[Speaker 1] We love to drink our own cows milk, my momma said its good for your bones. Do you like to drink normal milk too?

[Speaker 2] I don't, unfortunately. I oddly enough only like chocolate milk. Do you think that's good for the bones too?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. In fact i'd probably say it's probably better for your bones than normal milk.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is good to know. I was worried that wouldn't be the case and I'd have to stop drinking chocolate milk. How long have you had your cows?

I am not a vegetarian.

I am a farmer. I live on a farm. There is a lake by my farm. I have cows. My favorite cow's name is Daisy. I make and sell chocolate milk. We drink our cows' milk.

I do not know how to swim. I am interested in swimming.

I am over 18 years old.

My favorite drink is chocolate milk. I don't like regular milk.

I am unemployed. I am not a farmer.

I like to swim. I taught myself to swim. I lived by lakes when I was young.

[Speaker 1] I took my first dive today!

[Speaker 2] Really? That's great.  How does it feel?

[Speaker 1] I am feeling very empowered to overcome my anxiety over not knowing how to swim.

[Speaker 2] That's a huge step you made. I'm sure you'd be proud of yourself!

[Speaker 1] I can't believe it took me so long to learn.  My instructor called me "the dolphin."  Said he had never seen someone take so naturally to water.

[Speaker 2] I guess you need to learn and dive more to uphold your name "the dolphin."

[Speaker 1] Yeah, now I am thinking that I need to save up for a trip to the tropics and explore coral reefs.  Although with the farm that may not be all that easy.

[Speaker 2] Yea, you're right. How long have you had your farm?

[Speaker 1] It has been in the family for 75 years. My grandparents started it.

[Speaker 2] That's a very long History. I kinda like it.

[Speaker 1] It is nice to have roots that go back so far.  Have you moved much in your life?

[Speaker 2] Yes i have. I've move so much positively.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I have 8 brothers. We visit each other all the time.

[Speaker 2] I only have one, he's older than I. I work in his bookstore.

[Speaker 1] I can not imagine having only one. Must have been really quiet at your house.

[Speaker 2] It was not, all of our friends hung out here. It was the greatest.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I'm the shortest out of all eight. So they bullied me.

[Speaker 2] I get that sometimes due to my pink hair.

[Speaker 1] I love pink. Mine is red like the sunset.

[Speaker 2] My girlfriend is a redhead too, she has grey eyes.

[Speaker 1] She must be really pretty. I've a thick red beard but no girlfriend.

[Speaker 2] She's very pretty. Do you date?

[Speaker 1] No, nobody wants to date a 5 foot tall redhead.

[Speaker 2] Lol. I'm a 5 foot tall girl with pink hair, it is hard.

[Speaker 1] For a girl that'sn't so bad and pin hair is so cool.

[Speaker 2] I like it, so does my girlfriend. She prefers it over the purple.

I work in a bookstore my older brother owns.

I dye my hair pink.

I am a girl.

[Speaker 1] I just went over to my oldest brother's house.  You wouldn't believe what happened there.

[Speaker 2] Wow I'm so curious to find out.  What happened at his house?

[Speaker 1] Well his dog went missing.  We spent the entire day searching for Max, it turns out that he found his way to the park. Could you imagine?

[Speaker 2] Wow - I'm glad that you guys found him!  I love dogs and would be really upset if mine went missing.  What kind of dog is Max?

[Speaker 1] A Golden Retriever, I could not wait to mention it to you because my brother said he would be looking for a book on dog training.  I am not sure if it would help.  Do you own a dow?

[Speaker 2] Oh yea I can recommend lots of books on dog training if you stop by the store I work in.  I don't have a dog but I used to.  He passed away a few years ago.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sorry I know losing your dog was hard.  You are so very generous to help us out with Max.  I will speak with my brother about this.  Thank you so much

[Speaker 2] You're welcome. Yea, Butterscotch was my best bud, but I hope to get another dog in the future.

[Speaker 1] I like that idea, keep me posted if you confirm your decision to.  Once you meet Max you will even more compelled to get one perhaps.  I think it's cool that your hair is pink, how long have you been dyeing it?

[Speaker 2] Only for the past year or so.  It has been fun trying out different colors.  I have boring brown hair, so I needed a change.  You're so lucky that you have red hair.

[Speaker 1] Oh I did not know it was supposed to make me lucky?  Who can I speak to if that was not the case, any idea?

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'm not sure.  But really - I would love to have naturally red hair.  My girlfriend does and I think it's beautiful.

I have 8 brothers. My brothers are all taller than me. I am five feet tall. I have red hair, a thick red beard. I do not have a girlfriend.

My older brother has a dog.

I dye my hair pink. My natural hair color is brown.

I am a girl. My girlfriend is a redhead.  My girlfriend has grey eyes. I think my girlfriend is pretty.

I love dogs. I do not have a dog currently. My dog Butterscotch died a few years ago.

[Speaker 1] My brother said that he will stop by the store tomorrow to look for some books on dog training.

[Speaker 2] How old is you brother's dog?

[Speaker 1] It took me a minute to remember! My oldest brother just turned 42.

[Speaker 2] I can recommend some books on dog training, if you like. I have read quiet a few when I was training my Butterscotch.

[Speaker 1] I just realized you asked how old the dog was, not my brother. Whoops! His dog is pretty young, almost 2 years old. Do you know of any books that would be helpful for new dog owners of young dogs?

[Speaker 2] The website below has a list of some of the best books on dog training https://www.thesprucepets.com/best-dog-training-books-4164678

[Speaker 1] Thanks, you're pretty solid. Did you use any of these books to train Butterscotch? My brother's dog, Max, isn't even fully potty trained yet. He still has accidents inside the house.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I read some whilst I was at work at the bookstore. One thing to remember is stay consistent. I would create a schedule for Butterscotch and my girlfriend would sometimes change it because she felt sorry for the dog, so that took us longer to train her.

[Speaker 1] You're right about consistency! I think if my brother were more consistent, he'd have better success training Max. Does your girlfriend live with you?

[Speaker 2] No. She stays close by though and she used to spend some of the days with Butterscotch when I was at work.

[Speaker 1] That's so nice of her. How long have you two been dating?

[Speaker 2] 5 years, on and off. You know how relationships are! lol

[Speaker 2] Just as a hobby in my spare time, I think it would be amazing if it could one day translate to a career for me but it's hard to break into.  How is your wife doing lately?

[Speaker 1] She is getting slightly better.  Chemotherapy kills cancer cells but it makes her tired all the time.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really rough.  I'm sure it's very difficult for her and also for you to have to watch someone you love go through all that.  I'm sorry.  I wish there was something I could do to help, that's so hard.  How are your kids handling it?

[Speaker 1] It is difficult for them since my wife used to be active.  Mom does not play soccer with them anymore.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I can't even imagine how difficult that is for them.  And I'm sure it's really hard for her too since she wants to be outside playing with them.  How are you holding up with everything?

[Speaker 1] My mother in-law is helping us out.  I have to work.  I need health insurance for the family.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, definitely can't let that lapse at a time like this!  That's so god your mother-in-law is close and able to help.  I'm sure it's really difficult for her to see her daughter go through that and she's happy to help out in any way that she can.

[Speaker 1] Thank you for your kind words.  Please tell me about your family.

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm single with no kids, but I have two brothers and two sisters that I'm very close with.  Luckily we all live nearby.  Two of them are married so I have some nieces and nephews I love to play with!

I have a black belt in karate.

I have 3 kids. My kids play soccer.

I love singing karaoke.

My wife has terminal cancer. I have a job with Health insurance.

I like singing karaoke.

I am very busy.

I build robots. I don't build robots for work.

I am single. I have no children. I have 2 brother and 2 sisters. I live close to my siblings. I have nieces and nephews.

[Speaker 1] My kids would like to see your robots, could they help you build one?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that could be fun! The ones that I make might be a little complicated, but they make kits that are aimed towards kids.

[Speaker 1] That would be great!  I think they need something to help them not dwell on how sick their mother is.  I know my eldest is very interested in robotics.

[Speaker 2] A distraction is always good. How is your wife doing these days?

[Speaker 1] She is a very strong woman and fighting the good fight, but the end is inevitable.  But let's talk about something positive.  What kind of robots do those kid's kits make?  I know little about it.  I have occasionally seen those shows with the robot fights and that is about it.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to look into it more because I've never bought one. I think they do pretty simple stuff like move around in circles or light up or make a noise.

[Speaker 1] It sounds perfect for them starting.  Although I may be creating a monster encouraging them in this.  Or their careers.

[Speaker 2] Haha, well to be fair I got into robots and electronics pretty young and I turned out okay! Maybe your son will be a famous inventor one day.

[Speaker 1] I do think that robots are inevitable for every part of our society.  It wouldn't be a bad career path to nurture in them while they are still young.

[Speaker 2] Yes, exactly. Are they still all playing soccer?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah.  I have learned how much my wife did, getting them to all their practices and games.  But it is good to see them out there in the sunshine with the other kids, playing something they so enjoy.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like you're keeping them busy, that's good. I know you must have your hands full.

[Speaker 1] I have an important government assignment to do this weekend

[Speaker 2] Really? Which one is that? Assuming you are allowed to tell me about it, don't want you to get in trouble.

[Speaker 1] Ha ha. My agency is not very secretive. We deal with public works. We assist state and local governments with handling their infrastructure such as roads, bridges, etc. Very important but not dangerous.

[Speaker 2] You wouldn't have told me if you were in a secret government agency anyway haha :) So what's about the assigment, what is it exactly?

[Speaker 1] As you probably know, our current interstate system dates back to the Eisenhower administration. They are severely in need of updating to reflect current needs and habits. I am working with state governments to obtain public and private funding to bring these roadways into modern times.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that does sound like an important assignment. I bet you're gonna be working long hours, probably not being able to watch a game next week.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I try to catch a baseball game on tv whenever I can but I often have to tape it. One good thing about my job is that because of the extensive traveling, I have gotten to visit all of the MLB stadiums in the country. The only one I haven't visited is the Toronto Blue Jays Stadium because that one is in Canada.

[Speaker 2] Wow, really, all of them? That's impressive! Also my uncle lives in Canada, I was thinking about visiting him for the past few years, maybe we can go together when you're done with your new assignment, that could be fun :)

[Speaker 1] Oh really? Does he live in the Toronto area. I plan to drive up there when I can get some time off work. I live in Michigan so it is about a four hour drive for me.

[Speaker 2] Not sure he lives close to Toronto, but if we go on my plane - it doesn't really matter haha. I'll need to check things up, but I'm pretty sure it will be doable in about two weeks, what do you think?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, I won't be able to get time off before some time in July. I've always wanted to take flight lessons but the cost was too steep for me.

[Speaker 2] Oh, well, we'll figure something out, don't you worry. I have a good friend who owns a flying school in Austin, I think he'll be able to give you a discount.

I'm a baseball fan.

I work for the government agency. I deal with public works and assist state and local governments with handling their infrastructure. I am currently working with state governments to update the roadways. I work long hours. I travel a lot. I haven't been to Canada.

I live in Michigan. I drive.

I am interested in flying. I can't afford to take flight lessons.

I am a pilot. I have a plane. I am always on the move.

I like driving and fixing old cars.

I like to eat nuts and fruits.

I have an uncle who lives in Canada.

I have a good friend who owns a flying school in Austin.

[Speaker 1] I have managed to get some time off work.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. What do you wanna do with your time off?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to drive to Toronto for the weekend - see if I can scope out some good seats for a baseball game this summer. Do you have off/can you fly in?

[Speaker 2] Oh! sounds fun a bit. Yes sure i can fly.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! Have you flown there before? I'd love to make this weekend getaway work so we can meet up!

[Speaker 2] Yes I've been there a couple of times. This weekend would definitely be nice.

[Speaker 1] What's Toronto known for?  Are there activites we definitely have to do there?

[Speaker 2] There are tons and lots of things to do in Toronto. It'd be best you take a tour round the cities.

[Speaker 1] I thought we were meeting up and doing things together, not that we have to do everything together.  I'd love to at least grab coffee and talking about flight schools!

[Speaker 2] You do love to fly right? I'd be glad to discuss flying over coffee.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'd love to learn to fly, just trying to figure out how to afford flight school! Did you touch base with your friend in Austin about that discount?

[Speaker 2] Oh! Yes I did. If you're interested I could share you his contact?

[Speaker 1] How long have you been working?

[Speaker 2] I just started my job as a software developer 2 weeks ago. How long have you been a cashier?

[Speaker 1] For 2 years now... I always wanted to work online though. Makes you able to move anywhere you want and still have an income. What do you think are the benefits of your job?

[Speaker 2] My favorite benefit is that I get to work from home! It's nice not having to get dressed up everyday to go to work. When are you planning on moving to San Diego?

[Speaker 1] That sounds great indeed! Oh, well, as soon as I can find a job there. Speaking of which, have you ever been to San Diego?

[Speaker 2] When I was really young I went to a San Diego Chargers game. I don't remember too much of the city, but I do remember it being a fun time!

[Speaker 1] I have similar memories about London. When my mom was still working there, I was really into exploring the city. But time flies, and now I don't remember even half of what I've seen there. Hopefuly I'll stay in San Diego for a long time, I really enjoy what I've heard about this city so far!

[Speaker 2] Yea, it definitely has amazing weather! Never too hot and never too cold! What kind of new things do you want to try in San Diego?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I want to try everything it has to offer! For starters, I've heard that they have a lot of great restaurants and bars there. Really unique places, you know? This is definitely my first point of interest haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha yea, probably the best thing about moving to a new place is all the new restaurants you can try! I moved to Atlanta about a year ago and it was like a whole different world to me!

[Speaker 1] I bet, Atlanta is actually on my list too, I'd like to visit in future. What's your favorite cuisine?

[Speaker 2] Oooh that's a tough question! I'd probably go Mexican food though, because there's so much variety with it!

[Speaker 1] I think I found a job in San Diego!

[Speaker 2] That's good. What kind of job is it?

[Speaker 1] It is at the zoo.  Not working with animals though, I will be working tickets.  But it is a start.  Totally a fluke that I even knew I could apply there.

[Speaker 2] So how many days a week will you be working?

[Speaker 1] It is full-time, so I will be working 5 days a week.  I am so excited, I didn't think that I would find a job so quickly.

[Speaker 2] Well that sounds good. At least this is a new opportunity for you.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I will hear for sure tomorrow, but the interviewer pretty much said I had the job already.  I plan to start packing as soon as I have the official word.

[Speaker 2] Do you think you will enjoy living in San Diego?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes.  I have wanted to move there for a while now.  And to work at the San Diego Zoo?  I was resigned to working in a gas station as that was what I've been doing.

[Speaker 2] I would rather work in a zoo than in a gas station myself also.

[Speaker 1] I know, I don't think I have ever been excited to work someplace before.  It makes me so happy just thinking about it!

[Speaker 2] That's so exciting and I know you will be happy there!
