My mom signed me up for ballet when I was a small child.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] Well I'm in paris, france and I'm engaged to be married. So I'm great!

[Speaker 1] That is so cool. My brother and I own a food truck.

[Speaker 2] I was a banker but a month ago lost that job

[Speaker 1] That is horrible, do you need a job immediately?

[Speaker 2] No since I was two I have danced so I will do that

[Speaker 1] Oh, okay. Do you like to go to the park?

[Speaker 2] No but the alphabet? I can say it backwards!

[Speaker 1] Really? That is awesome. Do you know how to surf?

[Speaker 2] No I don't but maybe one day.

[Speaker 1] I could teach you if you want, my brother taught me when our parents died.

[Speaker 2] Ok do you teach redheads that's what color my hair is

[Speaker 1] Mine is too, when I am not dying it blond.

[Speaker 2] Is it hard to learn to surf

[Speaker 1] No, it is easy once you learn how to keep your balance on the board.

[Speaker 2] Should I wear sun block? I am fair skinned

I own a food truck with my brother.
Surfing is easy for me.
I have red hair that I dye blond.

I don't know how to surf.

I have red hair. I am fair-skinned.

[Speaker 1] How are you enjoying you and your fiance enjoying your visit to Paris?

[Speaker 2] oh it's not a trip. We moved here!

[Speaker 1] Got ya. How long ago did you make the move?

[Speaker 2] Right after I lost my job actually. We'd always wanted to live there and that just seemed like a sign

[Speaker 1] Sounds good to me! That kind of change would be nice. What do they think of redheads there? Are there more or fewer?

[Speaker 2] Honestly not sure. They all call me "rouge" though. Which is cool sounded. better than "ginger"

[Speaker 1] I could live with rouge. Get a chance to get out and dance much? I woulld think in would be a larger part of the coulture there.

[Speaker 2] It definitely is. A lot more clubs here and people aren't so uptight about dancing. I fit in here a lot better than Cali.

[Speaker 1] Must be nice to have your partner there with you. Are you two making friends? Are the French accepting of Americans?

[Speaker 2] Luckily he's French, so that at least opens up some doors. But yeah, some of the stereotypes are true. But enough about me! How's your food truck going?

[Speaker 1] Its not as exciting as Paris, but its going well. The cold weather slows things down a bit but thats par for the course.

[Speaker 2] Have you switched up the menu at all?

I own a food truck with my brother. My business is currently slow due to the weather.

Surfing is easy for me.

I have red hair that I dye blond.

I am in Paris, France. My fiance is French. I am about to be married.  My fiance and I moved to Paris after I lost my job. I lost my job as a banker a month ago.

I have red hair. I am fair-skinned.

I used to live in California.  I like to go dancing.

[Speaker 1] I'm considering adding some French food for the truck.  LOL

[Speaker 2] Adding French food sounds like a great idea!

[Speaker 1] I have always wanted to visit Paris. Is it nice there?

[Speaker 2] It is very beautiful here. There are wonderful tourist sites. What would you like to see if you visit Paris in the future?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is on my bucket list. Which do you prefer, Paris or California?

[Speaker 2] I prefer the sites and experience of Paris. Has the weather improved since we last spoke?

[Speaker 1] Not really, it has been raining for about a week now, but I hope it slows up soon.

[Speaker 2] I hope it dries up soon for you. Do you plan on surfing anytime soon? That sounds like so much fun.

[Speaker 1] I am going surfing with some friends this weekend actually! Maybe I could teach you sometime.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome. I would love to learn how.

[Speaker 1] I miss my grandpas cabin in the woods

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds very nice.. I love being in the woods

[Speaker 1] It is where I learned paddle board

[Speaker 2] I've never done that, looks hard

[Speaker 1] It takes practice and no fear of falling

[Speaker 2] Lol, well I am pretty clumsy

[Speaker 1] I do not worry I first tried in a foam pit

[Speaker 2] Oh that's a great idea! Do you enjoy guitar?

[Speaker 1] I stink playing bass I tried several times

I dropped out of college to travel.

I love being in the woods.

I've never done paddle boarding.

I am pretty clumsy.

[Speaker 1] How is it going with the guitar?

[Speaker 2] It's going well! I've learned a lot so far, maybe once you get better at bass we can practice together. How is your grandfather?

[Speaker 1] I would love to play together. My grandfather has actually been very ill lately. I don't think he's going to make it.

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry. I'm sure things will get better soon. Have you gone swimming lately? Maybe that will distract you.

[Speaker 1] I've actually not been swimming lately. I used to go swimming at the lake at the grandpa's cabin. Just thinking about that right now depresses me. Hopefully my grandfather gets better and we can go up to his cabin together. We can go swimming and maybe even fishing at the lake. Would you be interested in that?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. You could even teach me how to paddle board!

[Speaker 1] I could try, but I'm not that good at it yet. You should bring your guitar and we can play songs my the fire at night!

[Speaker 2] That sounds so fun. You've never been to Alaska, so maybe we could even go there and go fishing or something!

[Speaker 1] I would love to! I've been waiting to cross that state off my list! But it's just so far and not easy to get to. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] No, but it seems like it would be fun. The woods are like my second home so I would be able to navigate us through whatever is up there.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan. I'm currently trying to plan my next trip. You've been to so many places ... what was your favorite?

[Speaker 2] Probably Colorado, I like the scenic views. Or we could go somewhere a lot more cultured, maybe Italy since you're so interested.

I am Tanya. I like swimming in a lake and fishing. I learned to paddle board.

[Speaker 1] My grandfather has passed away from his illness.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I am so sorry! How are you feeling, what are you doing to cope?

[Speaker 1] I am okay. It is helping knowing that he is no longer suffering.

[Speaker 2] That's good, I'm glad you found some solace in his peace. Are you practicing self-care at all though, and how is your whole family doing?  When is the funeral?

[Speaker 1] My family is fine, we knew this was coming for a while so we all had time to mentally prepare. The funeral is tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to hear that everyone is holding it together well. Are all the funeral preparations already done, or are you all still working on them?

[Speaker 1] Thankfully they are all done.

[Speaker 2] That has to be a relief. It can be so hard to do all the hard preparations. You mentioned that you loved his cabin, what is going to happen with the property? It might be nice for you to have it, if the rest of the family approves.

[Speaker 1] We are all going to share it. It will be a place we can all gather together if we want or a place we can visit separately.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's a lovely plan. It might be nice to take some time off work after the funeral and go visit it to remember your Grandfather. Does your job allow you that flexibility?

[Speaker 2] That's really weird, I love pistachio ice cream

[Speaker 1] I am six feet tall but that is considered short compared to all of them.

[Speaker 2] That is crazy, I play with edged weapons

[Speaker 1] Ice cream is good and its a little cooler up here for us tall people.

[Speaker 2] I travel a lot and I make friends along the way.

[Speaker 1] I do not have weapons. I would rather dance with my friends. Not stab them.

[Speaker 2] Lol I think britney spears is the best singer in the world

[Speaker 1] I like going to school. That's where I meet all of my friends.

[Speaker 2] I'm studying to be a surgeon, that's why I watch surgery videos

[Speaker 1] But nobody ever heard britney sing. Pop singers are not what they appear.

[Speaker 2] Well I think she has a wonderful voice

[Speaker 1] I like going to school but I don't have steady hands so no surgery for me.

[Speaker 2] Where are you from? I am from chicago


I'm still single at the age of 35.

I still have a thick accent so words like hippopotamus are difficult.

I came from japan to teach high school over 10 years ago.

I teach both japanese and drawing classes.

I've a puppy named tiki.

I love music of the 1980s, especially the pretenders.

I studied early childhood education in college.

I'm a kindergarten teacher.

I am in my thirties without a partner.
I've some problems with pronunciation.
I used to live in a different country.
I'm involved in several rooms.

I own a small dog.

I enjoy listening to bands who recorded in the twentieth century.

I'd like to become an elementary school teacher.

I like children.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I'm 35 years old, a hs teacher from japan

[Speaker 2] Hello! I'm also a teacher. I teach kindergarten in the us.

[Speaker 1] I teach japanese and drawing classes. Are you single?

[Speaker 2] I am. Do you like music?

[Speaker 1] I do, I love all kind of music, it makes me learn the language better.

[Speaker 2] I love the music of the 1980s. My favorite band is the pretenders. Do you know them?

[Speaker 1] I unfortunately do not, I only came here in 2007

[Speaker 2] Ah, I see. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any pets, I also don't have a gf either

[Speaker 2] That is too bad. I've a puppy, sometimes he's better than a gf.

[Speaker 1] What kind of a puppy is it?

[Speaker 2] He is a cocker spaniel. His name is tiki

[Speaker 1] That's a cute name. What do you do as a hobby?

[Speaker 2] I like to hike in the mountains. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I like working out, and drawing

[Speaker 2] Those are very good hobbies!

I teach Japanese and drawing classes.

I like music, drawing, working out.

I do not know the band the Pretenders. I moved here in 2007.

I don't have any pets or girlfriend.

I am a kindergarten teacher. I live in the US.

I am single.

I love music from the 1980s. My favorite band is The pretenders.

My puppy is a male cocker spaniel named Tiki.

I hike in the mountains as a hobby.

[Speaker 1] My students were excited for the weekend. How is your puppy?

[Speaker 2] My puppy is doing well, we went hiking this past weekend.

[Speaker 1] Do you hike on hard trails or do you keep to easy paths?

[Speaker 2] We stay on the easy paths because my puppy is very young. Do you prefer teaching Japanese or drawing?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy drawing more. Teaching Japanese to  students is rather hard since the language is so complex but drawing is a refuge that soothes the soul.

[Speaker 2] Good point, I feel the same way when I listen to music

[Speaker 1] I imagine so, it's too bad that the arts don't get the same attention that sports do, but then what does?

[Speaker 2] Music is so popular though, I feel like it should get more attention. You should try listening to the Pretenders when you work out, it's great!

[Speaker 1] I'll give them a try! Any particular songs I should listen to or are they all good?

[Speaker 2] Start with their most recent album, it is peppy and will improve your workout!

[Speaker 1] I can use all the support I can get. Working out is a chore for me though I do take a long walk everyday. I follow a trail that winds around the lake.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds wonderful! It's a good way for single people like usto meet other people with similar hobbies!

I am 35 years old. I am a high school teacher. I am from Japan. I teach Japanese and drawing classes.

I am single.

I hike in the mountains as a hobby.

[Speaker 1] How are the kiddos in your class?

[Speaker 2] They are really fun!  Yesterday we had a dance party while listening to music and singing the A-B-C's.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun! I'm sure they loved it. What sort of music do you play for them?

[Speaker 2] We usually listen to cartoon style kids music from Disney or something like that.  However, I was listening to The Pretenders while they were on break the other day.  Most of the kids said it sounded old!

[Speaker 1] HaHa! I'm sure anything from even a few years ago sounds old to them. I don't think I could name a single song on the radio today, definitely makes me feel old.

[Speaker 2] The music today is pretty awful!  I'm sure it would be hard to listen to some of the things your students listen to.  Half of the time I can't even understand what they're saying.

[Speaker 1] True, we don't really talk much about music. I might use that in one of my lesson plans to get the kids more engaged with learning Japanese.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds like an exciting lesson.  You should show them some tunes from the 80s and see if they like it.

[Speaker 1] Yes I think I will. Thanks for the idea. Have you been anywhere nice with your Tiki?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't been anywhere lately.  I'm waiting for the school year to end and then maybe we will go on an adventure for the summer break.  We are actually in the middle of learning songs for a big end of the year play.  It's funny trying to teach these little kids how to dance together.

[Speaker 1] LOL sounds like a handful. That's the best thing about being a teacher - the holidays! Have you started planning anything?

[Speaker 2] I would love to visit Colorado and do some hiking but don't have any plans yet.  At this point it's hard to think about anything other than teaching because they keep me so busy!

[Speaker 1] I like being by myself, wear pink all the time and I teach yoga. You?

[Speaker 2] I love golfing and I work at a law firm.

[Speaker 1] Wow! You married? I'm.

[Speaker 2] I'm married. How do you manage your alone time if your married?

[Speaker 1] When we get together its always new. It works! What type of law office?

[Speaker 2] I work corporate. I do no really like getting in the middle of drama.

[Speaker 1] Neither do I! I met my husband in 10th grade. Any children?

[Speaker 2] I have 3. I don't get to spend much time with them due to my hours.

[Speaker 1] Hmmm. What kind of corporate law keeps you from your children?

[Speaker 2] The hours keep me away from my children. I tend to work 80 plus hours

[Speaker 1] I see. You'll regret that later. You have all boys or all girls?

[Speaker 2] How many kids do you have? I have all boys.

[Speaker 1] No children. I myself am a only child. You sing?

[Speaker 2] Only when I wack myself with my gold club by accident...

I like being by myself. I wear pink all the time. I teach yoga.

I met my husband in 10th grade.

I have no children. I am an only child.

I love golfing.
I am married.
I work in corporate at a law firm.
I have three sons.
I work 80 plus hours often.

[Speaker 1] An interesting event happened at my yoga job. Let me tell you about it!

[Speaker 2] Please do share, I'd love to hear about it!

[Speaker 1] I was teaching my class and one of my students had enough. She stood up and said that she could teach yoga better than I ever could! She said if you want to take my yoga class instead, follow me. Then she walked out of the door!!

[Speaker 2] Wow, haha sounds like she must have been having a rough day.  That sounds like a bigger temper tantrum than any of my sons, and that's saying a lot.

[Speaker 1] It was nuts! Luckily no one followed her and the class was very kind to me. I wonder if she needed to eat or take a nap or something! How are your sons, by the way.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it sounds pretty crazy, I hope you kicked her out!  The sons are doing well, Jeffery just started flag football this year which has been an adventure for sure.  Don't you wish you had kids?

[Speaker 1] I don't actually! Kids seem like a never ending terror nightmare where you are trapped forever and ever and can never escape!!! No offense. I like your children. I am just glad they aren't mine

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know exactly how you feel.  Sometimes I get home from work and all I want to do is relax, but there are the kids screaming and begging for attention.  At least they aren't as bad as some of my clients.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it seems like a very hard job to be a parent! It's amazing to me that people do it. Adults can be worse than children though!! My yoga class debacle demonstrates that well. Do your clients throw fits?

[Speaker 2] Yep it's amazing how childish adults can be.  I get a surprising amount of clients that through fits, you wouldn't believe how high strung some lawyers are... Okay, maybe that's not too suprising.

[Speaker 1] haha thats not too suprising it seems like a very type a personality career. You are very laid back though I bet you bring a lot of calm to your firm

[Speaker 2] Most definitely, but even for me it's sometimes hard to keep your cool.  I mean some of these lawyers demand the world from you and don't have any awareness of how much time I'm putting into my job.

I met my husband in 10th grade. I have no children and I don't want them. I am an only child.

I teach yoga at a yoga studio.

I love golfing.

I am married.

I am a lawyer in corporate at a law firm. I work 80 plus hours often.

I have three sons. My son Jeffery plays football.

[Speaker 1] I started teaching a new hot yoga course.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah what kind of techniques are you teaching people? Do you have all pink yoga matts for your students?

[Speaker 1] I'm teaching an advanced class at the moment, so we mostly do poses like Sirsasana. Of course, we have all sorts of matts here. Students are also allow to bring their own custom matts.

[Speaker 2] I have never heard of the pose Sirsasana. What does it look like? What color is your yoga mat?

[Speaker 1] Sirsasana is a type of headstand. My matt is red. You should come by for some personal coaching in order to release all that stress. 80 hours is brutal

[Speaker 2] Hahah yeah I bet I did a few more headstands it would have my circulation. I would love to have a private session with you. How much would you charge by the hour?

[Speaker 1] For 1on1 lessons, I usually charge $40, but special price of $20 just for you. Maybe you could teach your son some stretches after a hard football game

[Speaker 2] Yeah sounds like a fair price to me. My son could use a lesson in wellness too! His shoulder is starting to lock up.

[Speaker 1] Great, we should schedule a free trial session later. Speaking of your kids, how do you even make time to see them with your 80 hour work schedule?

[Speaker 2] A free session!? How nice of you. Well to be honest about my schedule I find it very difficult to balance my work life and my personal life. But all the sacrifices I make wont be in vein if the stocks I invested in keep going up.

[Speaker 1] I see what you mean. The goal for me is early retirement. VERY EARLY.

[Speaker 2] I do not think you like to paint with watercolors. I think your character does.

[Speaker 1] The only thing with painting I do not want to clean up afterwards I hate it, lol

[Speaker 2] Love to ride my scooter. Used to game not anymore though.

[Speaker 1] Sports cars are my favorite

[Speaker 2] You swim to get around? Do you live in water world

[Speaker 1] I live in a fish tank

[Speaker 2] I am nick by the way. Are you a dolphin.

[Speaker 1] I stay with the grandparents I am a mermaid

[Speaker 2] Amazing. Do you listen to music?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes what is your favorite fruit?

[Speaker 2] Can do that underwater. Music is not my thing.

[Speaker 1] You could if you tried

[Speaker 2] Strawberries are my favorite. Love them.


I live alone.
I like to play video games.
I play guitar on my free time.
I am a scientist.

I kayak at the lake on weekends.

I chew my nails.

I was a navy brat and have attended 16 schools in 12 years.

No one is with me.

Spending an hour or so beating a map in mario sounds fun.

I like to listen to music.

I enjoy learning.

I help those with needs.

I go to the water and use my boat.

I bite my fingernails.

My parents are in the military and I move around a lot.

[Speaker 1] I like being a scientist and I like living alone. I can play guitar all I want.

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun! On the weekends I kayak at the lake. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I play video games too but mostly guitar in what little free time I have.

[Speaker 2] Do you chew your nails? I do. It is such a bad habit.

[Speaker 1] No but playing video games at my age is maybe a worse habit.

[Speaker 2] How many schools have you attended? Navy brat here so I went to 16.

[Speaker 1] Two masters degrees. Now I am helping to colonize mars and the moon.

[Speaker 2] Cool! I want to be a teacher for special education. So I am studying for it.

[Speaker 1] If I move to mars I'll have plenty of free time to play guitar.

[Speaker 2] If you move to mars, can I visit? I think it will happen one day.

[Speaker 1] Yes and it will be good for your students. We can hook up live and teach them.

[Speaker 2] How soon in the future do you think this would happen?

[Speaker 1] I'm just enjoying my free time left here to play my guitar before I go.

[Speaker 2] What kind of video games do you play?

[Speaker 1] Atari. I still have my original atari I got on my 10th birthday and it works great.

[Speaker 2] What kind of guitar is it?

I am a scientist. I graduated from gad school. I am involved in space expedition. I want to move to Mars.

I live alone. I play the guitar. I play video games.

I like to play Atari which I received when I was 10.

I like to kayak.

My parents served in the Navy. I have attended 16 schools.

I would like to visit Mars.

[Speaker 1] Guess what I would like to do on Mars and the moon.

[Speaker 2] Knowing you I bet you would like to play Atari haha

[Speaker 1] HaHa! Almost. I would love to teach a class, remotely of course, from Mars. How cool would that be?

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! What would you like to teach them about?

[Speaker 1] Space, obviously! I could perform experiments and show them what happens when you don't have gravity to deal with. They would have to be in high school or higher so that the concepts wouldn't overwhelm them.

[Speaker 2] There is gravity on Mars! You should know this stuff, your a scientist! Maybe teaching wouldn't be your strong point hahaha

[Speaker 1] Yes, there's gravity on Mars, but it's not the same as on Earth. I would have students do the same experiments as me, then we could see how the results differ. I might be able to inspire a couple of kids to go into the space program. Speaking of teaching, how are your classes going?

[Speaker 2] Ah now I get you! We'll if you ever get a second ticket to Mars I'll be your plus one!  They are going quite well so far, I've even started doing some placement work

[Speaker 1] My plus one ... you got it. I'm glad the classes are going well. What grade(s) is/are your placement work in?

[Speaker 2] I've been placed in pre-schooling which to be honest is exactly what I wanted. I think it's the most important time to get children interested in education even those that don't have developmental disorders

[Speaker 1] Pre-school! Wow!  It takes a special person to take on that role. I don't think I could do it. I'm glad you're passionate about it.  Yes, I agree about reaching kids at a young age. It's important to get them off on the right foot, education-wise. I would imagine that it is difficult to diagnose education issues at such a young age. Is it?

[Speaker 2] We are learning how difficult diagnosis is in my classes but luckily we don't have to deal with that in placement as anyone in the school has been previously diagnosed. This can be quite demanding though as it means that many of the children in the school have quite severe disorders as milder disorders tend to appear later

I am interested in helping to educate students. I hope to inspire those that I teach. I could not see myself as a pre-school teacher.

I like to kayak.

I would like to visit Mars.

I am studying to be a special education teacher. I have a passion for teaching young children. I do not teach special needs children at my job. My job can be quite demanding.

[Speaker 1] How much longer do you have in school? And where would you like to work, ideally?

[Speaker 2] If all goes as planned, I will be done in 1 1/2 years!  How long was grad school for you?

[Speaker 1] That is very exciting! Have you picked out a school that you want to teach at? Grad school was fun but definitely a lot of work! Well worth it though!

[Speaker 2] Most of the schools in the area have a special ed program, but I'd really like to go to East High.  I know it has the highest percentage of young special needs students and they are really adding to their program to meet their needs.

[Speaker 1] Wow. Sounds like you have a great plan in place! I wish you the best! I know you will make a great teacher.

[Speaker 2] Thanks so much.  I probably should have mentioned that East has a special section for K-8 students.  They spend half day at their regular school then half at East.  The idea is they get to be with their peers, but also get familiar with East since 98% will stay there pretty much K-12.  Sorry, I can go on and on about their program, though I haven't been involved with it yet.

[Speaker 1] It sounds like that is exactly where you should apply to teach at! I can tell you are very passionate about it. You know what people say..."if you do something you love, you never work a day in your life"

[Speaker 2] I wish I felt that now, but I know that day is coming.  Tell me what you've been doing with work lately?

[Speaker 1] I am not allowed to talk about the details of my current project, but I am involved with some future expeditions to Mars. Isn't that fascinating?

[Speaker 2] Oh wow!  See if you can save me a spot on a trip if you can.  LOL!   I am know scientist, but the cosmos has always been so interested to me.

[Speaker 1] I will see what I can do. *wink, wink* Haha!

[Speaker 2] Do they allow video games on the shuttles?  :)   Also, how does a guitar work in zero g?

[Speaker 2] Blue metal flake with white scallops. Are you into cars?

[Speaker 1] Not that much. I like to go fast though. What else do you do on the weekends?

[Speaker 2] My wife and I are constantly traveling around the country showing the car

[Speaker 1] I go to the farmer market alot.

[Speaker 1] What are your favorite classical cars?

[Speaker 2] I love the old DeSotos, have you ever ridden in one?

[Speaker 1] I have not, but I would love to ride in one, especially if its tuned for performance.

[Speaker 2] It is mostly a cruising car, for going slow and showing everyone how good it looks. I do a yearly auto show in Mt. Juliet, is that far from where you live?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure where Mt. Juliet is, is it close to Nashville? Do you think I can get an invitation to your auto show?

[Speaker 2] I think its about a half hour away from Nashville and they do a big Farmer's Market there too.

[Speaker 1] That's very cool, I can visit both the market and the auto show! Will you be bringing your Corvette to Nashville?

[Speaker 2] I might bring the Corvette and I am going to be looking at an old Thunderbird someone has up for sale. I don't really need to get a fourth car but it would be lots of fun to fix up. Maybe I could get her in shape and sell her afterwards, what do you think?

[Speaker 1] I think that sounds like a great idea. Do you think I could go for a drive in the Thunderbird with you after before you sell it? I love to go fast.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun! I've got to head into work soon but hey, I will send you the dates of the auto show later and maybe you can test drive the Thunderbird with me.

[Speaker 1] That sounds very cool. Maybe we could visit the university I work at and do a couple laps there. Do you think you'd like to put on a show for the students?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to. A lot of young people these days don't appreciate how cars used to be works of art, real machines, not these plastic pieces of junk they make nowadays.

I work at a university. I live in the vicinity of Nashville, Tennessee.

I like to drive fast.

I go to the farmer's market often.

[Speaker 1] Have you traveled recently to show off your cars?

[Speaker 2] I just got back from Arizona It was a blast! Have you ever played music professionally?

[Speaker 1] I haven't yet, but it is a dream of mine. I've just got to keep practicing and working towards it.

[Speaker 2] How many instruments do you play? I'm thinking of learning the guitar.

[Speaker 1] I play guitar, drums, piano, and violin. I would love to teach you guitar if you are interested.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I really like Bob Dylan and The rolling stones. Do they have any easy songs I could learn real quick?

[Speaker 1] Twenty one pilots song Ride is pretty simple.

[Speaker 2] I like that song. Ok, that will be my first lesson then. I can't wait! Maybe after I learn a little guitar I might try the piano as well.

[Speaker 1] Yes, once you learn the basics, other instruments become a bit easier.

[Speaker 2] What was the first instrument you learned?


I can move my body to music.
I can not spell to save my life.
I do not like to change my style.
I hate western bands.

[Speaker 2] I've an advertising job. My building needs a window washer if you are interested

[Speaker 1] Hm... Do you think really long hair would be a problem for that job?

[Speaker 2] You could braid it. My mom used to braid my hair before she died.

[Speaker 1] Aw, how sweet. It reaches my knees ; I'd have to put it in a bun.

[Speaker 2] I am sure it would look nice.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could find a job dancing, though.

[Speaker 2] What kind of dance? Exotic?


I am outside a lot.

I am a retired colonel.

I enjoy navigating a certain model of car.

[Speaker 1] Romances are my favorite, easy to store in the cab of my dump truck.

[Speaker 2] My wife loves to read. I'll have to suggest it.

[Speaker 1] I keep them in my prius too. Habit from my army days as a tank driver.

[Speaker 2] That is interesting. Where are you from?

[Speaker 1] I am good drinking my fifth cup of tea

[Speaker 2] I just finished a shift for a fast food restaurant near me.

[Speaker 1] Is that where you work all the time

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've no car so I walk home 3 miles every night.

[Speaker 1] Oh no are you buying a new one

[Speaker 2] Not right now, since the weather is nice, I like to walk.

[Speaker 1] Ok where do you live

[Speaker 2] The great big city of new york.

[Speaker 1] That is nice I guess its a good place to walk

[Speaker 2] Yes many people around all the time.

[Speaker 1] Yeah and you can always take a subway

[Speaker 2] True. Do you have a favorite color?

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I like to walk.

I live in New York.

[Speaker 1] How has work been for you?

[Speaker 2] We have been kind of slow lately. It gets boring and you can only clean stuff so much.

[Speaker 1] Speaker 1: That sounds awful. I hope that business picks up. My job as a bank teller isn't much better; we haven't had anyone come in since the recession hit.

[Speaker 2] Oh no. Will they start cutting hours or firing people if it doesn't pick up a little bit?

[Speaker 1] I think they might, I hope I keep my job. Are you in danger of losing your job?

[Speaker 2] I might. I could transfer to another, busier location but it would be farther to walk. I don't mind a longer trip unless it is raining or snowing, then it can get ugly.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I imagine the weather can take a turn for the worse in New York. The weather is more stable here in Oklahoma, but we've got our own problems here in tornado alley. Have you ever seen a tornado in person?

[Speaker 2] No, thank God. I bet you have seen some more up close that you liked, right?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, they're pretty scary. Have you seen any major snowstorms or blizzards up there in New York?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I have been in some bad ones. My work doesn't shut down unless it really really has to though. One time I had to hitch a ride to work with a snowplow driver because the streets were so bad.

[Speaker 1] That's both fortuitous and terrible! What a crazy day that must have been. I've only lived in Oklahoma my whole life, so I haven't seen too much snow. But I'm glad that I have a car to get me around; how do you normally manage without one?

[Speaker 2] New York is a great city for walking. I can ride the subway if I really need to but being a woman riding alone isn't really safe. Walking is better.

I am a bank teller. I am in danger of losing my job.

I lived in Oklahoma my whole life. I have a car.

I work a cleaning job at a fast food restaurant.

I walk three miles home every night. I do not have a car. I like to walk.

I live in New York. I am a woman.

[Speaker 1] So which restaurant do you work at?

[Speaker 2] I work at a Chic-Fil-A. The best food service in the nation haha. I make sure everything is up to service as far as cleanliness. Have you ever been to Chic-fil-a?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I have, but not very often. The lines always stretch around the corner of the road and the manager here is real tight on lunch time.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, at most of the Chic-Fil-A's I have been to (including mine) we get very busy around lunch and supper times. Thanks to those that go outside and take orders, it doesn't take quite as long as it would a few years ago, but to those on a lunch schedule, it may still not be fast enough. Speaking of your job, how is things going there? Are they getting worse and are you still in danger of losing your job?

[Speaker 1] I'm not so sure at the moment. I've kept my head down and made sure to put 110% of my effort into my work so that they have little reason to find fault in me. It's very stressful but I heard the manager tell their boss that they are short handed so it might be a good sign for me to stay.

[Speaker 2] Hmm, that does sound very stressful. I am very sorry you are having to deal with this. I think you are doing the best you can. You can only control what you can control. You cannot control how your manager and boss handle things. I know it's hard since they hold your livelihood in their hands, though. Would you have any others job opportunities, if something did happen?

[Speaker 1] Not at the moment, there's not much going on in my town here. Maybe if it does turn out bad you can show me the ropes for Chic-Fil-A? I saw they are hiring here so maybe that can be a backup option

[Speaker 2] I would highly recommend Chic-Fil-A. The environment is extremely friendly. The pay is also pretty good for a fast food job. It does get stressful with customer service, but the co-workers and management usually keep morale boosted. I would love to talk with you further about it, if it comes to that. With your experience at the bank, you could be on the fast track to some form of management after a few months at Chic-Fil-A if that is what you decide.

[Speaker 1] I think you're right about that. And customer service is not so bad, I have had a few wild experiences with really upset people while being a teller. I even had a person try to rob the bank here!

[Speaker 2] Oh my. We have never had to deal with that. We've had our fair share of sketchy people, but no one has ever tried to rob us. Was that a traumatic experience?

[Speaker 1] It was not as bad as people have experienced, he only handed me a note but did not notice that I pressed the emergency button already. He must have been very new because he did not even notice the security walk up slowly and tackle him down. How about you though? You might have not had any robberies but you do walk home every night, are you properly prepared for any sketchy people?

[Speaker 2] I usually carry some mace spray with me just in case something happens. Being a woman, I realize that I am vulnerable by myself, but the community that I live in has a relatively low crime rate so I am in much better situation than a lot of women in other places. So far, I haven't had any experiences on my walks. Most of the sketchy people usually come in during the day trying to solicit people or beg for food.


Diesels or gasoline, I can fix them all.

I've one pet.

I like italian cuisine.

I will be 26 next year.

I identify as male.

I have no sons.

[Speaker 2] That's just what I did today, its my passion. That's sad

[Speaker 1] Coo coo, so whats up?

[Speaker 2] Haha. Well who doesn't love cupcakes. You should try playing a character! Different experience

[Speaker 1] I'll look into. Maybe it would give me an excuse to die my brown hair blue. Ll

[Speaker 2] There you go. Then we could match. I love wearing purple. We would be intergalactic.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! So what are the best female characters?

[Speaker 2] Probably halflings. They are versatile and effective, and use their brain over braun.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like me! Ll. Other than d d, what do you like?

[Speaker 2] I am all about metal... Love van haven. Who do you listen to?

[Speaker 1] I love classic rock. Eagles, pink floyd, heart. Heart is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] I like light music. It helps me get through my work at the office.

[Speaker 2] What kind of office is it that you work in?

[Speaker 1] I work in customer service. I do not like it.

[Speaker 2] So sorry to hear that. I do not like mine either

[Speaker 1] I wish I could work in politics

[Speaker 2] What do you think of the president?

[Speaker 1] I'm not even going there

[Speaker 2] Not enough time or space. Lol

I like watching tv in my free time as well.

I have been in 2 car crashes in my life.

I enjoy being active outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Hello I enjoy veterans since I'm a old veteran

[Speaker 2] Hello. How are you doing today?

[Speaker 1] I was born and raised in kentucky I am well thank you

[Speaker 2] That is nice. Did you like it there?

[Speaker 1] What are your hobbies I prefer to read alot

[Speaker 2] I like watching television when I've free time.

[Speaker 1] Yes I did, where are you from

[Speaker 2] I also like to play sports a lot

[Speaker 1] Sports are awesome, they promote team work

[Speaker 2] I agree. I'm from the west coast.

[Speaker 1] Enders game are awesome reads

[Speaker 2] I've never heard of that.

[Speaker 1] You should google it and check it out

[Speaker 2] I have crashed my cat twice in my life

[Speaker 1] Well that'sn't good at all

[Speaker 2] I meant to say car by the way. I've no cats.

I am a veteran.
I was born and raised in Kentucky.
I like reading.

I like watching television.

I like to play sports.

I am from the west coast.

I have never heard of Enders game.

I have crashed my car twice in my life. I have no cats.

[Speaker 1] What do you watch on television?

[Speaker 2] Mostly sports. Football season is over, so now I'm watching basketball. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I mainly watch news on the TV. I spend most of my free time reading and occasionally play sports. What sports do you play?

[Speaker 2] You name it and I probably play it. Unless it's expensive. So no polo for me. LOL. What sports do you like?

[Speaker 1] I play badminton and basketball. Are these sports popular where you live?

[Speaker 2] Basketball yes. Badminton. No. Really only see it at a company picnic or something. How'd you start playing that?

[Speaker 1] Badminton is a light racket game serving a shuttlecock. I started playing badminton when I was sent to serve at the Vietnam War. Badminton is one of the most played sport in most Asian countries.

[Speaker 2] LOL. Why do you sound like a wikipedia article now? Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

[Speaker 1] Maybe because I'm an old man? There's probably more I could add to some Wikipedia articles! I suppose on the West Coast, badminton may be more common where Asian immigrants live/hang out.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. Yeah, over here it's definitely a backyard kind of game. I've seen it on TV and it's way faster paced.

[Speaker 1] Yes, the badminton racket is lighter than a tennis racket; hence, it is lighter on the arms. However, unlike tennis, the shuttlecock is not supposed to land on the ground within the court or else your opponent gains a point.

[Speaker 2] The main racquet sport I play is racquetball. Such a clever name. I like how chaotic it gets.

I was born and raised in Kentucky.

I like reading. I watch the news. I play badminton and basketball.

I am a veteran. I have served in the Vietnam war. I am an old man.

I have a job. I have been to a picnic.

[Speaker 1] Aside from cats, do you like animals or have had any pets?

[Speaker 2] I don't right now. I have been thinking about getting a dog though. I've been following the local shelters website and seeing what animals they get in. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any pets at all right now unfortunately. I just saw an outreach program from a local shelter and have to say that the animals were so cute. I'd love to adopt one if I could make it work!

[Speaker 2] I always had pets growing up, both cats and dogs. I like them both, I just never got once since getting out of college. Maybe it's about time. They are a bit of a responsibility, but not too hard.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like such a lovely house when you were growing up. I get really nervous about all of the responsibility never having had a pet before. I feel like I'd get bored of it fairly quickly and obviously that's a big problem.

[Speaker 2] You'd be surprised. The love you get in return is well worth it. They really don't take too much more than some walking, playing, and feeding. I think you'd like it.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine. Having something so completly reliant on me is just a scary thought overall. But I do see how it would be able to help me if something bad happened.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could do one of the foster programs, where you have one for a few weeks at first to try it out.

[Speaker 1] I have been thinking about that for a long time. It would definitley be a unique experience. I love the idea that you get to leave it at the end of the day and not be stuck with it forever if there's any issues.

[Speaker 2] Picking a dog can be important. You have to find the breed, and temperament right for you. There are plenty of nice dogs or cats that would love to sit with you while you read.

[Speaker 1] Yes, every animal has its own personality. But how much of that personality are you exposed to during the adoption process? I think the animal would be super stressed from being in a shelter alone.

[Speaker 2] It takes a bit to learn yes. That's why the foster programs can be good. You can trial them for a week or so.

[Speaker 1] My work as a CPA is pretty boring, but it's what I signed up for! Do you enjoy your work as a teacher?

[Speaker 2] It can be really rewarding, especially when you finally get a difficult concept to be understood by the class. Did you like science when you were in school?

[Speaker 1] I enjoyed the sciences a lot while in school, especially physics and astronomy. What scientific topic are you teaching to your students at the moment?

[Speaker 2] We are currently going through volume of a liquid, Archimedes if you recall?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I vaguely recall something about the Archimedes Screw! Kids sure are learning a lot of things these days. Have you covered anything about sound or music? It might be a good chance to show them your country music collection!

[Speaker 2] We have brushed against the Doppler Effect but not in too much detail, and yes my country music collection might come in handy! Haha

[Speaker 1] Well I hope you get a chance to share your music at some point! I always wished that my teachers had been more personable while I was in school. Did you have good memories of your teachers?

[Speaker 2] How did you do? Are you getting any money back?

[Speaker 1] I'm getting a little back, but not as much as last year. How is school going?

[Speaker 2] Maybe next year I will just come to you to have my taxes done. School is good. I really love the subject I'm teaching right now.

[Speaker 1] It's always great when you can teach a subject you are passionate about.

[Speaker 2] Yes. My kids really love learning about Archimedes for some reason. They always seem to pay more attention when this lesson comoes around every year.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome though! Have you always taught science?

[Speaker 2] I used to teach English but it's not that interesting to me. I guess the kids don't really think so either.

[Speaker 1] English was my least favorite subject in school. Science was the best!

[Speaker 2] Yep, I remember I used to write notes to friends and draw in my English class. When I got to science I was telling my friends to shut up so I could hear. Haha!

[Speaker 1] Exactly! I think Physics is my all time favorite when it comes to science.

[Speaker 2] I agree. That's where life's real questions get sort of answers and then more questions.

[Speaker 2] It is ok, so many issues in my life now, boyfriend, job etc.

[Speaker 1] I feel you. What do you do for fun? Do you like sports?

[Speaker 2] Construction is in your family blood, I hope to get marry again

[Speaker 1] I hook up with random chicks. Maybe I'll wife one of them one day

[Speaker 2] Nah, he wants an open relationship but not me

[Speaker 1] Ha. I believe that people fall in and out of love throughout their lives.

[Speaker 2] You should settle down, anyways she got promoted, not fair

[Speaker 1] I'll definitely consider it. I set my expectations too high sometimes

[Speaker 2] Its nice to fall in love, but too much stress now to think about that

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I've to separate somethings. Work, relationships, focusing on my technique.

[Speaker 2] I wish I'm like you, my life is falling apart

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope things get better for you.

[Speaker 2] Finally some light into my darkness world. You are nice

I work in construction. My Dad taught me how to do manual labor.

I have not been married before.

I have been married before.

I want an exclusive relationship.

I am jealous of a woman's promotion.

[Speaker 1] How is your day going? I appreciated our conversation earlier and wanted to hear more about your relationship.

[Speaker 2] The only lesson I can tell is not everything works out.

[Speaker 1] That is sad to hear. I am sorry. I have never been married before, and now it makes me a little more scared to get in a serious relationship and married.

[Speaker 2] However, I do truly believe that you have to put 100% of yourself in a relationship. It doesn't matter what is will ends up, but it does matter living in that moment. Stop talking about relationships that doesn't work out. How's work lately?

[Speaker 1] I understand. It makes sense. Work has been really tough. We got a new construction site, and it has been much more physically demanding than other sites have been before. How your work been?

[Speaker 2] Manual labour always tough work but I do really appreciate it as it the base of everything above. Not sure if I had told you about a woman's promotion before but they basically just need "diversity", this is how the world works now, isn't it? I bet you don't have this situation in construction industry.

[Speaker 1] No, we don't have any women on our site actually. I have heard of a few managers at some of the other sites having females, however, not at our. Do you work with a lot of women?

[Speaker 2] Not really, hence the big boss is promoting gender diversity as it's not the "industry standard".

[Speaker 1] Got it. Are you afraid of losing your position to a woman?

[Speaker 2] Not really, although it might be a strategic move for the company to promo a minority gender worker - not 100% base on competence these days.

[Speaker 1] That would be absolutely horrible. If they need to bring in women, then fine, if that is the way it works now. However, if you lose your job due to it, that would be rediculous!

[Speaker 2] Apart from that I will try my best to show my manager about my ability and finger crossed for the promotion.

I am single. I have not been married before. I am not a woman.

I am angry because of my life including my boyfriend and job. I have been married before. I want an exclusive relationship.

I am jealous of a woman's promotion. I do not work in construcion. I do not work with many women. I am a man.

I have a manager.

[Speaker 1] Did you get that promotion

[Speaker 2] No, sadly, no promotion on the table yet. My life has been pretty bad lately. How about yours?

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that. Did your female co-worker acquire the postion?

[Speaker 2] Yes she did. I think she got it over to promote the idea of women in STEM, I agree with the idea but it shouldn't be at other workers expense.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that is unfortunate that you were overlooked but don't let it get you down. Keep an eye on your goals and do what ever fulfils you. Does the manager still treat you well?

[Speaker 2] He's a nice guy, but even he has a manager. He also has to do what he is told. How is the construction? Is it treating you alright?

[Speaker 1] One day I do dream of working for myself. Unless you own the business you always will be taking orders from somebody. Constriction is nice though, the more experience I gain working the closer I get to starting my own business.

[Speaker 2] You're right about that. I work as a Software Engineer, if only I could create a service that would appeal to people a quit my job. How so? Are you saving up money ?

[Speaker 1] I think that you could do the same thing as a software engineer. You are building.... just with 1's and 0's not brick and mortar. But to answer your question I do make decent coin as a journeymen brick layer.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice, how much do you make?

I'm not in a relationship but I'd like one.

I would much rather get paid to play my guitar all day.

Mother in phone stuff.

My mom is an artist.

I'm with family and practicing the guitar.

[Speaker 1] I feel empowered by league of legends. That's why I play it

[Speaker 2] Hi, I just came home from school, I'm getting my teaching degree

[Speaker 1] I go for park walks sometimes. I don't want to atrophy from my gaming job

[Speaker 2] I want to teach music, is that a video game?

[Speaker 1] Yes. It is about the accumulation of strength and power.

[Speaker 2] I like walks in the evening, so I can see the sun go down.

[Speaker 1] I like walking my dog in the park.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am not good at video gams at all sorry

[Speaker 1] Well I see it as training to co operate with others

[Speaker 2] I have a park near me but it full of homeless people so I do not go.

[Speaker 1] If I weren't single, I do not think I'd spend so much time gaming

[Speaker 2] My parents are in telecommunications but I like music.

[Speaker 1] My father was a computer programmer. That is where I got my start in gaming

[Speaker 2] I agree, that is way I spend so much time at school lol

[Speaker 1] I still think I'd be addicted to league of legends though.

[Speaker 2] I did not follow in my parents footsteps lol

I play league of legends.

I have a dog.

I am currently single.

I want to teach music.

[Speaker 1] I don't know who those people are but I assume they are big deals in the world of music haha. When do you complete the degree?

[Speaker 2] I've got a year left of school. Are there any video games you've played that you've really liked the music in?

[Speaker 1] Lots! The elder scrolls and Fallout games have some brilliant cinematic music but I couldn't tell you anything about the technical side of it other than it sounds good haha. I know you don't like video games but I think you might enjoy those two series just for the music

[Speaker 2] I might check them out! I know you said your Dad is a programmer, does he work on video games?

[Speaker 1] Haha no he hates them! He thinks my job is a waste of time and thinks that its an easy alternative to a real job. I'd like to see him play League of Legends proffesionally though haha. What do your parents think of you wanting to become a music teacher?

[Speaker 2] Haha, they think it is an easy alternative to being a professional musician. It sounds like we are in the same boat. I think it takes a lot of skill and practice to play games professionally, for what it is worth. It's basically like you are a pro athlete.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha if you seen my physique you would regret saying that! Taking the dog out in the park from time to time is helping but I should find some more outdoor activities! Do you still go to the park often?

[Speaker 2] I do, its a great spot to study and I like to go out at the end of the day to just relax. I am thinking of getting a dog, I am always a little jealous when I see people out walking with their pooches.

[Speaker 1] I mean if it would work for you you could dog sit next time I have a tournament? The dog will get more attention and you can see if your ready for the responsibility of one?

[Speaker 2] I would love to! What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 1] I got around to playing a new game that had great music.

[Speaker 2] Was the game for your job or just for fun?

[Speaker 1] No it was just for fun League is my job but I still like to play other games sometimes

[Speaker 2] Any recommendations on some games for someone like me who doesn't play video games?

[Speaker 1] Depends what you like but maybe something like red dead redemption with a campaign. So are you excited to start teaching soon?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's just a little upsetting that I don't have many people to talk to about it, since my parents disapprove.

[Speaker 2] It may seem grim, but I was mostly interested in local crimes. It gave me an opportunity to interview police and feel like I was doing some detective work. I was always a fan of mystery novels. How did you get into writing children's books?

[Speaker 1] I had originally liked to write as a hobby, mostly fiction stories as opposed to non-fiction. At some point, a friend of mine read one of my stories and told me I could reworked it to be more suitable for children. I then learned I was pretty good at it, and continued to write them.

[Speaker 2] That's great that your friend gave feedback that led you to write different types of stories. Where do you get your ideas from?

[Speaker 1] I get inspired from a variety of sources, sometimes I even use some of my past dreams as inspiration for the stories I write. I try not to read other children stories or shows as I feel that might influence my ideas too much where my stories will be pretty much identical to the works of other authors.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I can totally relate to being influenced by other's ideas. I sometimes will have an idea and spend so much time working to flesh out an actual story, only to realize after all that time that it was the same plot as a movie I watched years ago. Haha

[Speaker 1] Its definitely an issue writers or authors need to consider, which is why its important to have others look over your work. Do you watch movies very often, or is it more of an occasional hobby for you?

[Speaker 2] I love watching movies. I especially like watching a movie with friends that we can discuss afterwards. I even listen to podcasts, where they will discuss older films and revisit them from a progressive standpoint. It's very interesting. Do you like movies too?

[Speaker 1] I really like The Day After Tomorrow. It always has me on the edge of my seat. What other things do you do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I like to watch true crime documentaries.

[Speaker 1] Really? Which one is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] The last one I watched was about John Wayne Gacy. It was fascinating.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. Did you ever investigate true crime when you wrote for the paper?

[Speaker 2] No, I wish! That would have been exciting. How is your new book going?

[Speaker 1] It is going pretty good. It's about a penguin who decides to visit his cousins at a zoo in the tropics. I think it will do really well.

[Speaker 2] That sounds adorable! How far along with it are you?

[Speaker 1] I am almost done. Just trying to finish up the last part. I'm trying to figure out whether he should break his cousins out of the zoo, or just retire to the tropics.

[Speaker 2] Do you do the illustrations yourself too?

[Speaker 1] I have an illustrator I work with. That way I can focus on the stories. I was never that great at drawing.

[Speaker 2] You must be very proud of yourself for being a published author.

[Speaker 1] Have you been able to enjoy the outdoors lately?

[Speaker 2] I have! It's been a little cold for my liking though. How is it in Brooklyn?

[Speaker 1] Busy busy here in Brooklyn, I thought you liked the cold weather being a fall fanatic! Maybe it's too cold for you?

[Speaker 2] Yeah i do prefer cooler weather.. not the cold! It has snowed! I imagine it is busy there. Have you made any interesting paintings lately?

[Speaker 1] I like to paint the city scape more than anything, really. The concrete jungle amazes me. Are you a fan of paintings?

[Speaker 2] My artistic abilities are slim to none.. but I love art so yes! Do you have any of Central Park?

[Speaker 1] I dabbled with that view point but it just doesn't captivate me enough to stick out the full piece. I'm sure you'd love the park in the fall, such vibrant colours!

[Speaker 2] I understand. and I think I would! I've seen plenty photographs..

[Speaker 1] They honestly don't do it justice, you need to be there and really take it all in, you should visit soon and join me walking the park.

[Speaker 2] Oh I would absolutely love too! Let's aim for fall time frame, of course!

[Speaker 1] Obviously, you're going to be so taken aback by it, honestly! Make sure you bring a coat!

I like painting. I am an accountant. I am very busy.

I am self taught. I am not a graduate.

I am of Italian descent. I come from Brooklyn. I like Central Park. I live in Brooklyn.

I like to paint the cityscape. I'm amazed by the concrete jungle.

I've painted Central Park but I didn't enjoy it enough to finish the painting.

I don't like to be outdoors if it's too cold. I do like cooler weather, but not cold.

I don't have artistic ability but I love art.

I've seen lots of photographs of Central Park.

I love fall. I like the scenery in fall but not so much the weather.

[Speaker 1] I walked around the city today and got some good inspiration for my next painting.

[Speaker 2] What part of the city inspired you?

[Speaker 1] I was at my favorite pizza shop in Brooklyn when I saw a mural on a brick wall next to the store. It was of a grey and white tulip.

[Speaker 2] That will make for a great painting! I think it is so cool that you are self taught!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I never had time to go to art school. I was always busy working, be when I have time I am always in the studio. I want to combine the idea of a grey and white tulip with a massive sky scraper. Uhhh it is kinda hard to explain.

[Speaker 2] Well when you finish it I would love to see it. I love art so much!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I'll make sure to use warm colors.... hahah

[Speaker 2] How is your job going?

[Speaker 1] Good I have consistent hours and I just got a raise. Which is nice, because I just started making payments on a studio a few miles from Central Park.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome, I hope that the studio works out for you. I know people will love your work.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I will have to take you for a walk in the fall and show you what it looks like. On a warm day ofcourse.

[Speaker 2] I would love that! I hate the cold, so warm days are best.
