[Speaker 1] Love watching those shows. I live in the city. Maybe I will flip my house.

[Speaker 2] I live in tennessee in a rural area. The home prices here are great.

[Speaker 1] I made some food for my neighbor and they loved it.

[Speaker 2] What food did you make? I love to cook and bake.

[Speaker 1] I did a roasted winter squash, with sausages and pesto from the freezer.  I love being able to buy what looks good that day and creating something with.  Is Chester feeling any better?  What did the vet say?

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness, that sounds delicious! Chester's feeling much better thankyou. It was a weird allergic reaction but some meds helped him feel better tight away. How are your daughter and grandkid?

[Speaker 1] Any idea what caused the reaction?  Glad to hear that he's doing better.  They're good.  They just went to the park to play.  It's just so cold they can't stay long.  I know you're crafty.  Can you recommend any easy projects for her?

[Speaker 2] No idea, he must've eaten something weird on a walk. I've been doing a lot of very simple beadwork lately - good for small fingers, and the project doesn't take long so you see results quickly which is great for young kids.

[Speaker 1] Perfect!  I'll grab a kit on my way home tomorrow.  How did your pie turn out?

[Speaker 2] It was okay, I think I need to bake it for a little longer next time. The crust wasn't quite crisp enough for me but everyone seemed to enjoy it. When is the next farmer's market, or is it too cold?

[Speaker 1] Hey, I'm always willing to be a taste tester for you!  This Saturday is our next market.  My family is going to go with my neighbor and bring me a mystery basket of food!  They like to try and stump me.  Do you have a farmers market in your area?

[Speaker 2] There are a few, but they're quite a ways out and in this crazy winter weather those drives can be scary! Mystery basket sounds exciting, you can push your boundaries of cooking!

[Speaker 1] I hate the thought of driving in snow.  Scares me too.  We're lucky we can walk to ours.  Makes it easier.  Hey, would you send me that fish recipe of yours?  I have a piece in the freezer that I want to cook.

[Speaker 2] Sure thing, let me find the link to the recipe and I'll send it over. So easy and delicious. Hope they bring you plenty of goodies to go well with it!

I go to the farmers market. I don't like driving in winter weather. I can walk to my farmer's market.

I live in the city with my daughter and my grandkid.

I like to help my neighbor. My neighbor moved in last week. My neighbor likes my cooking.

I love to cook and bake.

I love to buy produce seasonally.

I have a daughter and grandkid.

I am from Tennessee.

I have a black lab named Chester.

I like crafts and beadwork.

I have a few farmer's markets. I don't like driving in winter weather.

[Speaker 1] Did your kid and grandkid make it home safe from the park?

[Speaker 2] We did! My husband met us halfway and we were to this new bakery in town that serves the best pumpkin pie, you should try it sometime. Have you gone to introduce yourself to your neighbor yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes! We had a lovely chat. Where is this bakery, what's the name of it?

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful! The bakery is located downtown, by the farmer's market you like to go to. You should come with me again tomorrow, we can pick up a sweet pie for your neighborhood. It'll be a wonderful welcoming gift! They also will be offering baking classes, I would like to try them sometime.

[Speaker 1] You already bake! What sort of Advanced Defense Against the Dark Flavor's class are they going to teach you?

[Speaker 2] Haha, you know I can never turn down a reason to bake! Maybe I can show those kids a thing or two. I think I want to do it because I've been a little lonely at home lately. Everyone in the family has been busy lately, even my husband. I want a reason to get out of the house and see people.

[Speaker 1] Gotcha, it's always good to meet people on your "home turf." Ok, I'm in, we know the basics of whatever it is we'll be doing, so no great harm can come to us. When are the classes?

[Speaker 2] Yay I'm so excited! They're every Sunday at 3pm, which means there's still time in the morning for you to make it to the farmers market! Is your neighbor new to town in general? Maybe they would like to come with us to explore town a bit and get to know new people?

[Speaker 1] Now that sounds like an excellent plan, you rock! I'll ask! Thanks for these great ideas! I don't even care what we'll be baking it'll be a great day.

[Speaker 2] Of course! I'm just so thankful that you want to come with me. Guess what? I started an Etsy store for my crafts! So far I have ten sales!

[Speaker 1] Well you do like to stay busy! Can we sell pies on there, it's sort of a craft. We need an etsy for food. Actually, now that I think about it, the health code situation would be a bit impossible. Oh well, a girl can dream.

[Speaker 2] I actually love that idea. What if we played with the idea of starting our own little bakery that sells to people across the country? My nephew does web design, maybe he can help us make something easy and pretty.

I like to walk.

I love darker hues.

My house is close to outdoor recreation.

I am not a parent.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I am a banker, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hi, I am a bank teller. I am doing well. Any plans this weekend?

[Speaker 1] I am from the city and lives there how about you?

[Speaker 2] What part of the city? I am from the north side and I live by a nice park

[Speaker 1] I live in niagara country upstate ny my father worked for a bank

[Speaker 2] I think we might work at the same bank. What does your father do at the bank?

[Speaker 1] I just graduated from college 3 years ago

[Speaker 2] What was your major in college?

[Speaker 1] Wells fargo bank, where is your bank

[Speaker 2] I work at wells fargo too but at the branch between my house and downtown

[Speaker 1] Banking, and you? Did you went to college?

[Speaker 2] I went to college for accounting, got my associates and now working on nursing

[Speaker 1] Why did you change careers or just changing jobs?

[Speaker 2] I'm kinda doing both. I like the aspect of nursing more than accounting

[Speaker 1] That's three careers you have so awesome.

[Speaker 2] Yes. But I'm also working on getting a car because I do not have one. Any recommendations?

I work as a banker at Wells Fargo.

I live in the city in niagara country upstate New York.

I graduated from college.

I work as a bank teller at Wells Fargo.

I live in the north side of the city.

I have an associates degree in accounting.  I am going to school for nursing.

I like nursing  more than accounting.

I do not own a car.

[Speaker 1] I've been researching some new cars, what do you think about the new Toyota Camry?

[Speaker 2] I like the Toyota Camry as my best friend owns one so im often in one when I'm sharing a ride with her. But really I'm not the best person to ask about cars as I don't own one and haven't even got my drivers license! Are you thinking of buying a new car?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, since I graduated I'm looking for a reliable car I can use to get me to work. How to you manage without a car?

[Speaker 2] I sometimes get a carshare with a friend but most of the time I cycle everywhere. I really love cycling, I go everywhere on my bike to work to school. That's so awesome you graduated what did you study?

[Speaker 1] I studied finance. I love the fact I've got a job in what I studied, but I need a car to match my career path. I couldn't cycle. I'm so unfit!

[Speaker 2] That's so cool!! Well I'm studying to be a nurse at nursing school so maybe one day I could help you become fitter and healthier!!

[Speaker 1] Please, I could definitely do with a personal trainer. Any tips you could give me right now?

[Speaker 2] Yeah of course. My main tip would be to just start off slow. Walking can be really good for you so maybe try and start with short 30 minute walks everyday until they feel easier then try more challenging activities. Always make sure you stretch before and after every activity you do, otherwise you will be aching for the next days and not want to go out again!!

[Speaker 1] I will definitely try that. But I think I need some motivation. Would you be able to set me up a training plan?

[Speaker 2] For the first week just start very simple and easy try to do three 30 minute walks with at least one day between them, and once you have completed them let me know and I can set you up with your next challenges!

[Speaker 1] Brilliant, I will try and stick to that. Sounds like you know your stuff. How is your training going?

[Speaker 2] Awesome. I don't really have a plan I stick to because I cycle so much I feel there's no need as I get all my exercise in that way!

I work as a banker at Wells Fargo.

I recently graduated from college. I studied finance in college.

I work as a bank teller at Wells Fargo.

I live in the north side of the city.

I am going to school for nursing. I like nursing  more than accounting.

I don't own a car. I don't have my drivers license. I like to ride bikes. I don't follow an exercise plan. I ride my bike a lot.

[Speaker 1] I have exercised four days this week! Thanks for the tips.

[Speaker 2] Good for you! Doesn't it feel good to be able to say that? I know sitting around in the offices all day doesn't do much to burn calories.

[Speaker 1] You're definitely right. It really helps to have a friend that's studying the health field! I know one day you'll make a great nurse, even though you're already a great accountant!

[Speaker 2] Aww you're too kind! I'm kinda lucky that I have to ride my bike everywhere, I probably wouldn't get as much exercise as I do. Speaking of transportation, have you narrowed down the car search yet?

[Speaker 1] I have a little. I decided I want a smaller car as opposed to an SUV or something like that. I think it'll be easier for me to drive around in. Especially if I want to visit the city!

[Speaker 2] That is true. Make sure you get something that can handle those snowy winter roads too though!

[Speaker 1] Very true, I hadn't thought about that! I hate driving in the snow. I might just end up taking a bus or something on snowy days. I don't trust myself behind the wheel in those conditions!

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. When I'm at the hospital shadowing they tell some nasty stories about the accidents in the winter. Better safe than sorry!

[Speaker 1] Exactly! But anyway, how is work going for you?

[Speaker 2] It's alright I can't complain. Sometimes I wish I could just fast forward to when I graduate so I can go full time nurse, but I'm content. How about you? Is everyone treating you well at your new job?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, everything has been good! I actually like my coworkers, which was surprising to me.

[Speaker 2] Are they mostly younger people like you or is it an older group?

I work as a banker at Wells Fargo. I have a new job which is going well. get along nicely with the coworkers at my job.

I'm in the market for a new car. I need a car to get to my job. I want a smaller model vehicle.

I am not a fit person. I want to become more fit. I am lacking motivation to become fit. I been doing a lot of exercising this week.

I live in a snowy climate. I am scared to drive in the snow.

I work as a bank teller at Wells Fargo.

I live in the north side of the city.

I have an associates degree in accounting.  I intend to be a nurse someday.

I don't own a car. I don't have my drivers license. I ride my bike everywhere I need to go. I don't follow an exercise plan. I ride my bike a lot. I like sharing exercise tips with people.

[Speaker 1] I had lunch with a couple of my coworkers yesterday. We had a great time!

[Speaker 2] That's great, but I'm sad I didn't get an invite! Where did you guys end up going to eat?

[Speaker 1] It was just a random last minute decision to take our lunch together. Sorry! You know that tiny sushi place riiight on the corner? I forget the name.

[Speaker 2] I know, I'm only joking. I actually already had lunch plans! I just like to tease. But yes, I know of the place, Sushi Yasuda? I've never been. How was it?

[Speaker 1] Hahah I think it was amazing! But I love anything fried and their shrimp tempura role is everything.

[Speaker 2] I do love a good tempura roll. How about you and I go for lunch on our break next Monday if the weather stays nice? I haven't had sushi in what feels like a year.

[Speaker 1] I would really like that and yes "roll" hahaha with all the rolls of coins you'd think I would know better. It is wonderful to have coworkers who are likable hehe

[Speaker 2] LOL I see what you've done there. Very clever! And yeah, I agree. I'll be so sad to leave once I get my nursing degree!

[Speaker 1] ;) I think you will thrive in nursing. You are going to be so good at it! And feel like you are really helping people all day.

[Speaker 2] I'll admit, with some of our customers, it's been great practice on how to deal with people in general. Especially particularly irate people! But I do feel great knowing I'll be doing work that truly helps people, and something I'm really passionate about. I just don't get much fulfillment from being a bank teller, but it works for now.

[Speaker 1] I hear that! I really can't wait to gab about some of these people over sushi!

[Speaker 2] Me too! I'm actually getting hungry again now just thinking about it. I might go grab a little snack! I rode my bike like, 10 miles today, I swear!

[Speaker 1] They alright lol. I need a truck a little taller seeing I am almost 6 foot

[Speaker 2] Wow, I am only 4 ft 11 inches.

[Speaker 1] Yea at least it matches since my hair is really long

[Speaker 2] I used to have long hair so long, it was like a robe around my body ll

[Speaker 1] Ll dannnggggg! I'm trying to figure out music for the weekend what kind do you like?

I used to have long hair.

I like instrumental music.

I cannot understand modern music lyrics.

[Speaker 1] What are you working on in your PhD program?

[Speaker 2] Ohh just some preliminary Ed Psych research right now. Since I just started this past semester, I'm trying to narrow down exactly what pathway I want to go down and explore. Decisions are hard lol

[Speaker 1] I know right, I feel you on that one. I wanted to read some books, is there any you would recommend?

[Speaker 2] ohhhh sooooo many. What genre do you enjoy? I'll think of a good one you'll like

[Speaker 1] I don't read a lot of books so I don't know exactly, but I like watching thriller movies. I would probably like thriller books I guess.

[Speaker 2] There's an author you may like called Elizabeth Haynes. She writes a lot of psychological thrillers. My favorite of hers is called In the Darkest Corner. It's about a woman moving on from an abusive relationship, but strange things start happening around her house... it's good!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I will surely check it out! I've watched and enjoyed lots of movies with a similar storylines.

[Speaker 2] Yeah same, I love a good story that really gets your heart pumping. If you like that one, let me know and I have more I can recommend!

[Speaker 1] I will read it asap and let you know how I like it. I'm so excited, it's been a lifetime since I read a book.

[Speaker 2] I know how it is, so many distractions and stuff. Reading in a cozy coffee shop used to be my favorite pastime, but now I'll be too busy working and studying. We need more hours in the day!

[Speaker 1] I agree 100%. Work and school consume so much of our time that we don't have time to do the activities we actually enjoy.

I like trucks. I have a Ford.

I am almost 6 feet tall. I have long hair.

I like to read.

I am 4 ft 11 inches tall. I used to have long hair.

I like instrumental music.

I am in  PhD program. I am working on preliminary Ed Psych research in my PhD program which I started this semester. My favorite psychological thriller book from Elizabeth Haynes is In the Darkest Corner.

[Speaker 1] How is your study going?

[Speaker 2] I think I have a good topic to work with, but the trouble I'm having is finding reliable crowdsourcing for the study itself.

[Speaker 1] I see. Hopefully you will be able to find something soon. You're so close to finishing that PhD! It'll be cool to call you Dr. once you're finished.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I'm sure it will feel weird at first when I start having to fill in my title as Dr. on forms. How's work and school going for you?

[Speaker 1] Work and school have been eating up all my time lately. I feel like I hardly have time to read or watch a movie every now and then. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean, I've been really busy as well. I can't remember the last time I sat down to actually enjoy a cup of coffee instead of gulping it down in a rush.

[Speaker 1] When you pass your classes we should go for a cafe run and get you a caramel cappuccino! You definitely deserve one.

[Speaker 2] I'd enjoy that so much! What's your favorite coffee shop to go to?

[Speaker 1] Hm, I'd have to say this coffee shop by my house is the best. It's got a great atmosphere and they serve some delicious scones! It's perfect for a nice treat after a long day of work.

[Speaker 2] That sounds so nice! I'll hold you to taking me there once I finish my studies. I hope the music they play doesn't contain modern lyrics though.

[Speaker 1] The cafe usually plays some jazz, so there's no lyrics at all!

[Speaker 2] I'm relieved to hear that. It will be a fun time, then!

I like music.

I like trucks. I have a Ford.

I like to read. I like thriller movies. I enjoy psychological thriller movies. I haven't read a book in a while. I am also too busy with work and school.

I like to drink coffee. I live near a coffee shop. I like to eat scones.

I like fall.

I like instrumental music.

I am in  PhD program. I am working on preliminary Ed Psych research in my PhD program which I started this semester.I am almost finished with schooling. I need some time to relax.

[Speaker 1] The coffee shop had caramel cappaccino scones today! I thought of you. How soon until we get to go?

[Speaker 2] Mmm delicious! How about next Saturday morning we get some? I'm planning on biking then too if you're up for that!

[Speaker 1] I love biking! How do you feel about going in the morning?

[Speaker 2] That would be great. I don't like drinking coffee past the morning or I won't be able to fall asleep at 10pm!

[Speaker 1] i dont drink coffee actually! ive switched to matcha- i heard its healthier!

[Speaker 2] I've tried matcha but I'm not a fan of how it looks green. I heard that drinking coffee daily (with less sugar) has health benefits for people!

[Speaker 1] oh really? i dont think i can drink black coffee. I also actually like green food! Makes the plate colorful

[Speaker 2] I can't drink black coffee either, I always need some kind of creamer and maybe a little sugar. I don't like the color green! What other green foods do you eat besides vegetables?

[Speaker 1] I've loved celery ever since my dad made me celery with peanut butter and raisins! Do you have a childhood favorite snack?

[Speaker 2] What type of food is celery considered? I've never heard of adding raisins to peanut butter and celery! I really like peanut butter and banana toast!

[Speaker 1] I love that too! Maybe we should start a bakery ourselves!

[Speaker 2] Haha, we will have to discuss that far in the future when we're old!

[Speaker 2] Let's go! I actually just got a new job this past week.

[Speaker 1] Well done! Where is it? And what is it? I know you were looking for something in nursing.

[Speaker 2] I was and I got lucky to find a nursing position open at the hospital downtown. So if we go for sushi it needs to be on one of my off days. How's teaching going?

[Speaker 1] Sounds okay to me, what days do you work? It's hard work as always but going okay. Definitely looking for a couple of weeks off soon.

[Speaker 2] It's shifts of two days on and then one day off so it changes but for this week I'm free on Wednesday or Saturday. That'll be so nice to have a break. Do you have anything planned for the off time?

[Speaker 2] It is very challenging and stressful, but at the same time it is rewarding because I love to help people. Have you started your teaching job yet?

[Speaker 1] I did. So far so good. The students are really respectful for a change.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome to hear. There is hope for humanity. What grade do you teach?

[Speaker 1] I teach fifth graders!

[Speaker 2] That is an interesting age. I think my fifth grade teacher was my favorite teacher that I ever had. She got me interested in the medical field.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is really awesome! Great teachers can be a wonderful influence on children and leave lasting effects!

[Speaker 2] I agree, this might sound cliche but they really don't pay you guys enough for all you do for the youth.

[Speaker 2] Haha! That's so cool! I didn't even know that ol' George was around back then. IS it a good read?

[Speaker 1] My Mom used to read it to me when I was a kid. It was great. I think I am going to take it to school and let my Fifth graders look at it.

[Speaker 2] Thats pure nostalgia right there! I really hope they like it. Have they been introduced to Curious George yet?

[Speaker 1] I don't know? They may never hear of Curious George. Nowadays kids are not much into books as much as their phones.

[Speaker 2] I know right! It's such a shame because theres so much information and knowledge in children's literature that can develop and shape children's minds for the better. Even as an adult I am sometimes surprised by the relevancy and importance of knowledge I learned in kids books when I was 7-8.

[Speaker 1] I agree with you. But anyways, we should hit the Sushi restaurant to celebrate your new nursing job. The lunch is on me.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a blast. First rounds on me!

[Speaker 1] we should go tomorrow or Saturday, Which is good for you?

[Speaker 2] Let's go Saturday evening, I'm picking up extra shifts tomorrow and Saturday morning at the hospital.

[Speaker 2] Wow have not seen that in ages. Do you work

[Speaker 1] I do, I maxed my credit cards this summer, so I am working two jobs.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's hard. I work a boring office job... And you?

[Speaker 1] I work at victorias secret and am an admin assistant.

[Speaker 2] Oh one of my favorite stores. I've been looking for some new green panties

[Speaker 1] We have them, I found some cute ones in purple.

[Speaker 2] I love green, and have not found a pair I like. I'll have ot check again lol

[Speaker 1] You really should. I have to go call my ex boyfriend, its his birthday.

[Speaker 2] Oh ex, and you have to call him? Lol no thanks!

[Speaker 1] We are still very good friends.

[Speaker 2] Well that's awesome, more ppl should be like that

I like to watch Clueless. I like Cher.

I work two jobs. I work at Victoria's Secret and am an admin assistant.  I maxed out my credit cards.

I like the color purple.

I run.
I work an office job.
I like Victoria's Secret.
I love the color green.

[Speaker 1] I had a great conversation with my ex boyfriend. I think we might get back together.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome.  I hope you two can be happy again.  I am not dating anyone right now, but am looking.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm really excited we might get back together.  How are things going at work for you?

[Speaker 2] Work has actually been really busy lately.  The new year always brings lots of work!  It has been rewarding though, I got a promotion yesterday.  I am now a manager and have staff that reports to me.  I am excited and nervous at the same time.

[Speaker 1] Congratulations!  That is very exciting.  I'm afraid I might have to quit my Victoria Secrets job.  I'm just so busy.

[Speaker 2] I am not sure, but I think my new position allows me to have an admin assistant.  In the past, when people have been promoted to manager level, they have been able to hire an admin.  We pay pretty well.  Would you be interested if the position becomes available?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow. I would love that.  How do I apply or can you get me an application.  I would love a new, good paying job.

[Speaker 2] If you have a resume, send it along.  I will send you a link to the company's job posting site from work tomorrow.  It would be great to have someone who I trust work with me, especially with the added responsibilities of managing staff.  Would you be okay working in the city?

[Speaker 1] Yes!  I have an older car but it runs well.  This is just what I've been wanting.  Working only 1 job and making enough money will be fantastic.  It will sure make things easier to work  out with my x.

[Speaker 2] Good stuff, I will get in touch with you tomorrow.  In the meantime, does your ex have any friends that are single?

[Speaker 1] I will ask him, I think he does have some.  How fun!  Talk tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, I hope things work out with you and your ex and that we can work together. I wouldn't be opposed to carpooling when it makes sense.

I like to watch Clueless. I like Cher.

I work two jobs. I work at Victoria's Secret and am an admin assistant, but may need to quit due to being too busy. I maxed out my credit cards.

I like the color purple.

I am very good friends with my ex boyfriend. I hope to get back together with my ex-boyfriend.

I hope to apply for a job at the other speaker's workplace.

I have an older car.

I run.

I like Victoria's Secret.

I love the color green.

I am single. I am not dating, but I'm looking.

I work an office job in the city. I was recently promoted to manager at my job. I have been busy since the new year. I find my job rewarding.

I am aware of potential job openings at my work. I am open to carpooling to work.

[Speaker 1] I just figured out I received a link from you to that job posting, so it's already in my email inbox. Thanks :)

[Speaker 2] No problem and happy to help.  If this goes well have you thought about you would be able to commute to work?

[Speaker 1] Probably my old car. Until I can save up and get something newer.

[Speaker 2] Good idea, adding a car payment probably wont help with all those credit card bills!  If you get a new car you should get something in green!

[Speaker 1] That is a wonderful idea actually. I will consider it. How is the manager position going?

[Speaker 2] Not too bad.  Like drinking from a fire hose right now, but I am enjoying.  How are things on your end, still pretty busy at work?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes. I've told Victorias Secret that I need to cut back on hours.

[Speaker 2] Good deal, hope that helps out a bit.  What about things outside of work, anything exciting?  The weather has been nice here so I have been able to get out and start my training.

[Speaker 1] The weather has been nice here as well. How is the training going?

[Speaker 2] So far so good.  My next race is in October so I have plenty of time to get back into shape.

[Speaker 1] Good luck with that. I'm sure you will do great! Just keep at it!

[Speaker 1] I order mine online, my husband is always working.

[Speaker 2] Yes me too it saves a lot of time

[Speaker 1] I have two girls and they do not like to go shopping, it is easier this way.

[Speaker 2] I do not like to shop either

[Speaker 1] We go mountain climbing a lot. Being out in nature is the best.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun

[Speaker 1] It is, you can come with us anytime you like.

[Speaker 2] I like to design things. I love to draw

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is a different variety.

[Speaker 1] Haha, yeah I also like to fish

[Speaker 2] How often do you fish?

[Speaker 1] 5 days a week at least

[Speaker 2] Wow, you must love fishing.

[Speaker 1] Yes I do, I work as lumberjack, what do you do

[Speaker 2] I'm currently self employed.

[Speaker 1] Wow cool, what type of business do you have

[Speaker 2] Well, I am in the processes of starting a book selling business.

[Speaker 1] Really cool cool, that sounds interesting

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it will take time. But eventually it will catch on.

I like to fish.

I fish at least 5 days a week.

I work as a lumberjack.

I am self employed.

I started a book selling business.

[Speaker 1] I went fishing and caught several fish.

[Speaker 2] That's great! what did you catch?

[Speaker 1] A few large carp, they should make a tasty dinner. Have you been fishing before?

[Speaker 2] Sounds delicious! I've gone fishing once or twice as a kid, but I never ate anything that I caught. What type of pancakes do you like?

[Speaker 1] You should try it as an adult, it is very relaxing. It might even inspire some poetry. I love my pancakes smothered in maple syrup, yum!

[Speaker 2] You should also try pancakes with strawberries and strawberry syrup. It is delicious. I think I will try fishing. You're right! I think it'll help me with my writers block.

[Speaker 1] Oh yum, I love strawberries, I will give that a try! What was your last book about?

[Speaker 2] I was a book of poetry from different artist and it was beautifully illustrated. I know you work as a lumberjack. I hear people see mysterious things while they're in the woods. Have you ever ran into Big Foot?

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. I haven't seen Big Foot, but I have heard some very weird noises out in the woods. It can be very creepy sometimes!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but the woods can also be very peaceful. Do you process the wood right there in the forest?

[Speaker 1] We have a lumber mill close by, but I just cut the trees down. I really enjoy using a chainsaw.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. l love tools. especially chainsaws. Do you work on a team or alone?

I enjoy eating fish, pancakes and syrup. I fish at least 5 days a week.  I am good at fishing.

I caught Carp when i was fishing. I enjoy cooking Carp.

I love strawberries.

I believe in Big Foot but have never seen him.

I am a lumberjack. I prefer cutting trees over using a mill.

I like to read books in my free time. I write poetry. I wrote a book of poetry.

I am self employed.

I started a book selling business.

I have been fishing as a child. I never ate fish that i caught.

I find the woods to be peaceful.

I love using tools.

[Speaker 1] I was inspired to try pancakes with strawberries for dinner and they were delicious!

[Speaker 2] Those sound amazing! I want to try some now too! I know you're a big pancake fan, so I trust your opinion on them!

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah but honestly, who doesn't love pancakes! How's business going lately?

[Speaker 2] Business is good, thanks for asking. Lots of people have been buying my books which inspires me to keep writing. I've been thinking about taking a small vacation in the woods to help me get some more writing done.

[Speaker 1] That's great! The woods can definitely free your mind from distractions. That is, if someone like me isn't around chopping the trees down!

[Speaker 2] Who knows, you might inspire me to write about something that relates to lumberjacks, haha! Maybe while I'm in the woods I'll see Big Foot.

[Speaker 1] From my experience he'll see you long before you see him, and he's a shy beast. I think it's wonderful that we've both found occupations that allow us to be in the environments that we love most!

[Speaker 2] Me too! You know, I was thinking about writing a poem about Big Foot and how shy and reserved he is. It could be funny!

[Speaker 1] Ha ha! That would be great. "There once was a Yeti named Betty."

[Speaker 2] Not a bad line! Maybe you ought to start writing too, haha!

[Speaker 1] I think up something next time I'm out fishing and I'll get back to you for some constructive criticism!

[Speaker 2] Haha sounds good! But anyway, have you been fishing lately?


I enjoy eating italian food.
I'm east asian.
I try to watch what I eat.

My bil is in the entertainment industry.

I know sign language.

My mom and dad are more than one hundred years old.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I am tom and I live in china. How are you?

[Speaker 2] I am well tom. Does it snow where you live?

[Speaker 1] Yes, quite a bit. You?

[Speaker 2] No, I have never touched snow.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a favorite food? Mine is italian food.

[Speaker 2] I love fresh fruit since I try to eat healthy

[Speaker 1] I also try to eat healthy unsuccessfully

[Speaker 2] It take effort, but trying is great! Are you married?

[Speaker 1] No, I am single with no kids. You?

[Speaker 2] I am married for 6 years now to a deaf woman with no children between us

[Speaker 1] Do you know sign language?

[Speaker 2] Yes I know american sign language and canadian sign language

[Speaker 1] That is great! I have always wanted to learn.

[Speaker 2] It is a great skill to have, do you play sports?

[Speaker 1] I play a little bit of tennis, but am not very good

[Speaker 2] I've never played tennis, I would like to try one day

My name is Tom. I live in China.

It snows where I live.

My favorite food is Italian.

I try to eat healthy but am unsuccessful.

I am single and have no kids.

I play tennis but not good at it.

I've never touched snow.

I love fresh fruit. I try to eat healthy.

I have been married for 6 years to a deaf woman. We have no children.

I have never played tennis.

[Speaker 1] I've learned of a good resource for those trying to learn sign language if you're still interested.

[Speaker 2] Hi yes I am very interested, how did you come to find this information?

[Speaker 1] I found it through google. It's called signlanguage101 and has a lot of free lessons

[Speaker 2] That's great hope I'll find it. How easy or hard is it to learn about sign language in China?

[Speaker 1] It's pretty easy and I would say it's about the same as any other country. I think there should be universal language for sign langue though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is true, so as to reduce redundancies. Or you can try the Canadian or America language because its use is more widespread

[Speaker 1] Right the Chinese one is only useful here so I would need to learn another one for the rest of the world.

[Speaker 2] Yeah and hope you get some time to visit us one day, maybe I can learn a thing or two about tennis

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. It's a popular sport here. Have you tried playing table tennis too?

[Speaker 2] Not yet but the way I suck at lawn tennis I think I would not perform well with the fast paced table tennis. So did you like go to a school or just learnt yourself?

[Speaker 1] I learnt at school. Student clubs have sports for every type of person so I joined one and started applying.

[Speaker 2] So cool to see how its taken seriously over there. Hope I will get to play one of these days

My name is Tom. I live in China.

It snows where I live.

My favorite food is Italian.

I am single and have no kids.

I have always wanted to learn sign language. I have a good resource for learning sign language. I think there should be a universal language for sign language.

I play tennis but not good at it. I learnt tennis at school in a student club.

I've never touched snow.

I know American and Canadian Sign Language. I am interested in learning sign language.

I have never played tennis.

I'm not very good at lawn tennis. I have never tried playing table tennis.

[Speaker 1] I've been looking into flights to America, maybe I can come visit you soon!

[Speaker 2] That'd be awesome! We'd love to have you stay with us for a bit! Have you visited America before?

[Speaker 1] No, but I follow American media very closely and I am completely entranced with American culture. That's probably why I speak better English than the average Chinese citizen, I guess.

[Speaker 2] Is there anything you're particularly excited about seeing/doing in the US? I have to make myself a good tour guide!

[Speaker 1] Hmm, well, seeing the Statue of Liberty is the first thing that comes to mind. Catching a concert and a football game are on the list as well. Is there anything you can recommend?

[Speaker 2] Statue of Liberty is definitely a must-see. I live close to NYC, we can hit all the cool spots. Time Square is really awesome. Oh, do you like musicals? Maybe we could catch a Broadway show.

[Speaker 1] Not a huge fan of musicals, but if I'm going to be in NYC it would be a missed opportunity to catch a show on Broadway. Count me in.

[Speaker 2] Haha ok if you're sure! There's also plenty more to do. We could go to a museum or something. I only recently moved up here so I haven't actually been to that many places, we can explore together!

[Speaker 1] A Yankees game would be fun to watch, it'll have to do now that the football season is over. It will be a lot of fun to discover NY together. Does Jay Z perform often in NY?

[Speaker 2] Ooh I'll have to check! He might, NYC is a great place for concerts, everyone stops here on tour. And yeah, I'd be down for a Yankees game! I used to play baseball as a kid, but it's been a while since I've seen a game.

[Speaker 1] Baseball is great, I used to play as well. Ichiro was my favorite Yankee growing up. Hopefully Jay Z is performing, he's how I originally became interested in sign language so it would be cool on a personal level.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I didn't know that! We'll definitely have to see when his next concert is here so you can get your plane tickets for the right time.


My father is in prison.

I'm a carnivore.

I enjoy running.

My favorite band is creed.

I went on welfare last month, which makes me want to run into traffic in front of big trucks.

I enjoy eating pumpkins.

I use third party programs to read portable documents instead of adobe.

I've a small beagle dog who I call droopy.

I enjoy watching videos on youtube.

My dad got caught robbing a bank.

I could never be a vegetarian.

Sometimes I just need time to myself.

With arms wide open is my favorite song.

I've had some bad luck recently and have been feeling depressed.

I love halloween season.
I am not well versed in computers.
I've a snoopy pet.
I love wasting time on the internet.

[Speaker 1] Hi. My name is russ. I like creed. Do you like creed. They rock, right?

[Speaker 2] Yes how are you doing today I like having friends.

[Speaker 1] I've enough friends. My parole officer is making me do this.

[Speaker 2] That is okay I've fun watching you tube videos.

[Speaker 1] I just watch creed videos on there. Cheaper than cable. You have a job?

[Speaker 2] No baby I'm disabled I used to work.

[Speaker 1] I'm too smart to work. They kept firing me for being too awesome. What happened?

[Speaker 2] I ended up getting chronic tiredness all the time.

[Speaker 1] I never get tired because I only eat meat.

[Speaker 2] I like to eat pumpkins they're so tasty do you?

[Speaker 1] Heck no. Not meat. Only meat. My dad is in jail. Do you have a dad?

[Speaker 2] I adopted a little dog I named him droopy. You have dogs.

[Speaker 1] How did you know that? Are you psychic? The internet is scary.

[Speaker 2] No I've a dad he died when I was in my twenties.

My name is Russ. I like the band Creed.

I have a parole officer.

I watch Creed videos on YouTube.

I never get tired. I only eat meat.

I don't like pumpkins. My dad is in jail.

I have a dog.

I like the band Creed.

I like to watch YouTube videos for fun.

I am disabled and unable to work.

I suffer from chronic tiredness.

I like to eat pumpkins.

I adopted a dog named Droopy.

My dad died when I was in my twenties. I am at least thirty years old.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched any cool YouTube videos lately?

[Speaker 2] I watched a video if someone making a knife out of melted Bismuth. It was pretty wild.

[Speaker 1] I am sure it must have been pretty wild. I enjoy watching creed videos on YouTube. They're pretty interesting!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I try to keep up with my Creed viewing habits. How do you not get tired? I can't for the life of me stop feeling sleepy.

[Speaker 1] Well, I think its just everybody's nature is different, right? Do you still suffer from chronic tiredness as you had mentioned to me few days ago? or has it gotten better/

[Speaker 2] I'm still as sleepy as ever. At this point, I think I may need to see a doctor to find out what's wrong with me.

[Speaker 1] Yes, you definitely should take an opinion. Also, is your dog still alive? I just got a dog for myself too. I forgot what your dog's name was. I kind of remember you telling me that you had adopted it?

[Speaker 2] Droopy's been a life saver for me. I love the little dude so much. What did you dad go to jail for?

[Speaker 1] Right, I really fell in love with the name Droopy. Its really cool. Well, my father went to jail because of some insurance money. He is wrongfully accused. I hope he gets a bail soon.

[Speaker 2] Good luck to your dad. The criminal justice system isn't too keen on reversing convictions or admitting mistakes. What's your dog's name?

[Speaker 1] I know, its just too difficult with the justice system. Hopefully things work out. Thanks for your kind words. My dog's name is Snoopy. It is the cutest!

[Speaker 2] I hope you get your dad back. Hasn't been the same for me since my own dad died.

My name is Russ.

I have a parole officer.

I like the band Creed. I watch Creed videos on YouTube.

I never get tired. I only eat meat.

I don't like pumpkins.

I have a cute dog.

My father is in jail. I think my father is not guilty of his accused crime.

I like the band Creed.

I like to watch YouTube videos for fun.

I am disabled and unable to work.

I like to eat pumpkins.

I adopted a dog named Droopy. I love my dog.

My dad died when I was in my 20s. I am at least 30.

I suffer from chronic tiredness. I have been feeling sleepy lately. I think my sleepiness is unusual and requires a doctor visit.

[Speaker 1] Guess what? My dad got the charges dropped and is coming home today hopefully!

[Speaker 2] That's so awesome! I'm super happy for you, man. Are you gonna do anything together to celebrate?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! What would be a good idea? Going out to a restaurant?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I think that'd be good! What kind of food does he like?

[Speaker 1] I don't but anywhere has to be better than whatever he's been eating! He does like pumpkin pie, it what he always looks forward to on thanksgiving but I'm not a fan. I think someplace with an outside patio would be good.

[Speaker 2] Ooh that makes sense, someplace with a nice atmosphere. I love outdoor seating at restaurants. There's an Italian place nearby that has a really nice patio with like, fancy lights strung up. Maybe that'd be good!

[Speaker 1] Ok, I'll look up if they have pumpkin pie there, or a bakery nearby. How've you been feeling lately, by the way? Still sleepy all the time, you gotta check with a doctor about that.

[Speaker 2] I really do. It's kind of a cycle, I'm so tired I barely have the energy to schedule a doctor's appointment. I think I slept 12 hours last night, it's crazy.

[Speaker 1] Well it's no fun being a zombie through your life, do you think you could look up a number to call right after we finish talking? Then tomorrow I can bug you to actually make a call.

[Speaker 2] That would actually help a lot, I think. To have that accountability for it. Yeah, I'll look up a number now, thanks! Hopefully there's something they can do for me, looking up my symptoms online is making me kind of pessimistic about it actually getting treated.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, and however pessimistic you are about it getting treated if you go, you'd be right to be even more pessimistic if you don't go to a doctor at all, right?

[Speaker 2] Haha that's a good point. The attitude of "nothing's gonna help me so why try" is a trap. Even if not for myself, I should do it for Droopy. I haven't been able to play with him as much, it's not fair to him.

[Speaker 1] Yes, hiking is my favorite, even though I just started last year. We saw all kinds of animals. Do you swin more for fun or competetive?

[Speaker 2] I swim mostly for exercise and for fun. I am training for long distance swimming to hopefully do an Ironman one day. What kinds of animals did you see in your hike?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I bought the SNES classic and play Super Mario and Donkey Kong.

[Speaker 2] How fun. I remember playing Donkey Kong when I was a kid, it was a ton of fun. Are there any newer versions of the game now a days?

[Speaker 1] Not that I know of. Nintendo is releasing all the classic Mario games on the Switch though.

[Speaker 2] How fun. I don't have a switch. Only a Wii. What consoles do you enjoy playing with the most?

I like computer games. I play Super Mario and Donkey Kong on the SNES classic.

I swim for exercise and fun. I want to do an Ironman someday.

I play traditional video games. I played Donkey Kong as a kid. I own a Wii.

[Speaker 1] What games do you enjoy playing on the Wii?

[Speaker 2] My favorite has to be Mario Kart–it's so fun to play with friends! What's your favorite Wii game?

[Speaker 1] I really love the Just Dance series. I love trying to learn dance moves to my favorite dance songs. It is a great workout too.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome! It's always good to get in some exercise when you're playing a game. Speaking of exercise, how has your hiking been recently?

[Speaker 1] It's been going great. I'm thinking of traveling to a different state during summer break to hike new trails.

[Speaker 2] Amazing! What states are you looking at? There's lots of cool trails around the country, I bet.

[Speaker 1] If I can afford it, I would love to hop around the Hawaiian Islands and hike some of their volcanic terrain. We don't have anything like that here in the Southeast where I live. How is school coming?

[Speaker 2] That would be so cool! If you go I definitely want to see pictures! School is going well–we're super busy with midterm season, though.

[Speaker 1] Same here. I have a bunch of computer science projects due soon. It's a good thing that I really like this field or it would be too much.

[Speaker 2] Oh, definitely. It's much easier when you're at least somewhat interested in what you're working on

[Speaker 1] What do you want to do with chemistry when you finish? I have a cousin who uses her chemistry degree to formulate cosmetics, which I find interesting.

[Speaker 2] Oooh that's fascinating! I'm probably going to do pharmaceutical research–I'm really interested in developing new medicine.

[Speaker 1] Hey, how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] I am doing good, how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] Good just went out shoe shopping with my mom.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. I just got done playing a game of tennis.

[Speaker 1] That is an expensive hobby. The shoes alone are probably more than I make in a week.

[Speaker 2] It ; s not to bad. I am an accountant so I've some extra to spend.

[Speaker 1] Do they have good food at the country club?

[Speaker 2] They do. My favorite, actually, is their burgers. They're the best.

[Speaker 1] I need to try it sometime. As long as its not a fish burger.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, I'd not eat it if it was. Yuck!!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am really allergic to shellfish.

[Speaker 2] I just don't like it. We are going to see my favorite musical tomorrow, hamilton.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun! Where will you go after?

[Speaker 2] Oh, its going to be great. We will probably have some drinks somewhere.

I do not like fish burgers.
I am allergic to shellfish.

I work as an accountant.

I like burgers.

I do not like fish. My favorite musical is Hamilton.

[Speaker 1] How was the Hamilton musical?

[Speaker 2] It was great and a wonderful experience to hear Hamilton.

[Speaker 1] I'm not a big fan of musicals.  Would you suggest that one for a first timer, or a different musical?

[Speaker 2] If you are not a big fan of Musicals than you should first try Classical then move to others

[Speaker 1] I do like classical music.  Maybe I'd be better off going to an opera.  Have you ever seen an opera live?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but I could not connect much to it, What made you think that you should try Opera?

[Speaker 1] I feel like the style of music is more on taste with me.  I did like Across the Universe, the movie that was kind of a musical, using all Beatles songs.  Have you seen that?  Do you like the Beatles?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't but if someone with not much musical taste liked that than I must see it. What was the movie Name?

[Speaker 1] Across the Universe.  I really liked it.  How's work going for you?

[Speaker 2] Across the Universe! I will see it this weekend. The work as usual just full of numbers and calculations how is your life going?

[Speaker 1] Same old same old, you know how it goes.  I'm not a big fan of winter weather, looking forward to things warming up.

[Speaker 2] Why don't we warm things up, you should come over to my place we will go together to an Opera. ill give an another try at it.

I do not like fish burgers.

I am allergic to shellfish.

I don't like musicals. I like classical music. I liked Across the Universe. I like the Beatles.

I don't like the winter. I like warm weather.

I work as an accountant.

I like burgers.

I went to the Hamilton musical.

I have been to an opera.

I will go see Across the Universe.

I would like to go to an Opera with the other speaker.

[Speaker 1] I've decided to give musicals another chance and go see the Hamilton musical.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's amazing! Which city are you going to see it in? I can't wait to hear what you think.

[Speaker 1] I'm planning on going to New York to see it. I heard nothing can compare to Broadway if you are going to watch musicals. What was your favorite thing about the Hamilton musical?

[Speaker 2] That's perfect-that cast is phenomenal. The characters are probably my favorite part: it really takes something as boring as American history and brings it to life.

[Speaker 1] That's good. I think I might end up liking it since I like history. I heard it was pretty accurately written as well compared to what happened in the history books. Did you end up going to Broadway in New York to watch it?

[Speaker 2] If you like history, it's probably a good musical for you. I did go to Broadway! Some friends of mine and I took the trip up there a few years ago. Totally worth it!

[Speaker 1] A trip to New York sounds nice! What other musicals would you recommend? Is there some kind of musical that incorporates classical music?

[Speaker 2] New York is so much fun! There aren't a ton that have classical music, but an American in Paris has a cool ballet section, and Phantom of the Opera has a lot of opera in it, so those might be up your alley!

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely have to check those out! I think I should try to watch musicals a few times before I decide to rule it out completely. What's the next musical you plan to watch?

[Speaker 2] There are tons of different types of musicals, so hopefully you find one you like! I heard great things about Hadestown, so I'll probably try to catch that one next.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, perhaps it's about finding the right genre within a musical! Ooh, what is Hadestown about?

[Speaker 2] It's about the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice–I've heard nothing but good things.

I do not like fish burgers.

I am allergic to shellfish.

I am going to see Hamilton. I am planning to go to New York.

I like history.

I work as an accountant.

I like burgers.

I went to the Hamilton musical.

I have been to an opera.

I will go see Across the Universe.

I do not live in New York. I saw Hamilton in New York. I am familiar with Broadway musicals.

[Speaker 1] I watched the recording of Hamilton that they officially released.

[Speaker 2] Nice! What did you think of them? Are they getting you pumped up for the real thing?

[Speaker 1] Yes! It was soooooo good. I loved Hamilton. It's a long one, but it kept me entertained for the full 3 hours! Have you see it more than once?

[Speaker 2] I've only seen it once. New York's quite a distance from where I live on the West Coast, so unfortunately I haven't been to Broadway too much. I would like to see it again, though!

[Speaker 1] Isn't there a big broadway scene in Arizona? That's what I heard anyways. That's unfortunate you live so far away from NYC. I've seen a couple shows in Boston that were traveling and it wasn't quite the same.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, there is, but it's not the same thing as a Broadway show. The same goes for recordings. You've gotta see the real thing. because it's on another level apart from the rest.

[Speaker 1] Very true! I see that Hamilton is on Disney+ but I haven't dared watch it. I don't want it to lose the charm, you know. Any shows upcoming that you are excited about?

[Speaker 2] On Disney+? I'm looking forward to Marvel's Legends and Star Wars' The Mandalorian, as always.

[Speaker 1] Did you happen to catch WandaVision? It was hard to get into but then it went by so quickly. I wish there was more to watch.

[Speaker 2] I saw a few episodes, and I thought it was decent. Maybe I'll go back and watch the rest.

[Speaker 1] You should, by episode three I was hooked.

[Speaker 2] I'll definitely re-watch them, then. I guess I didn't get hooked because I didn't watch episodes in order, and so in some of them, I had no idea what was going on.


I'm from california.
I like to shop at goodwill.
I'm a student.
I think recycling is important.

I listen to a lot of strange music.

I'd like to have better penmanship.
I live in chicago.

[Speaker 1] Hi, goodwill is where I get most of my clothes

[Speaker 2] I love goodwill. You can find lots of weird music there.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I know california is where I am from and you?

[Speaker 2] Oh I do not know if I should say, but I really want to move to iceland.

[Speaker 1] I never been to iceland I live in california

[Speaker 2] Do you like it? I think its be too warm for me.

[Speaker 1] Lots of good will in california its a great place to shop and buy recycle stuff

[Speaker 2] I bet lots of interesting stuff happens there. Nothing happens here.

[Speaker 1] Do you do a lot of recycling in iceland? It is important

[Speaker 2] I'd imagine iceland does some recycling. One of the reasons to live there besides the cold.

[Speaker 1] What types of recycling do you do over there?

[Speaker 2] I do not know, but I wish I did.

I shop at Goodwill.
I am from California.
I haven't been to Iceland.

I love Goodwill.
I want to move to Iceland.

[Speaker 1] I found some more clothes at Goodwill.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, I love Goodwill. What did you manage to pick up?

[Speaker 1] I found some great vintage clothes. I really like the feel of the 80's and love those type of pieces. What kind of clothes do you like?

[Speaker 2] Brilliant. I like all sorts, but I like Goodwill because you can come across one off pieces. I like to buy something thinking no-one else will have it.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that is true. You can find a lot of one of a kind things in Goodwill for sure. The last time I was in I found a cool stool for a photography prop.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I love it for things like that. I also found an old retro camera when I was shopping there. Turned out it didn't work, but it looks good on display. Do you enjoy photography?

[Speaker 1] Aww that's a bummer it didn't work. I love photography. I have a really old Canon that belonged to my dad. I got my love of photography from him. What kind of camera did you find there?

[Speaker 2] It was an old Polaroid. I picked it up because I thought it looked cool, so I wasn't too disappointed when it didn't work. What kind of photography do you do?

[Speaker 1] I like to do mainly portraits, but my favorite is landscapes and nature. Do you like photography?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm just not very good. I took some nice shots of the countryside around here but I could with lessons. Would you be able to share some tips sometime?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it really takes a lot of practice and practicing in the manual mode. Camera's now make it easy to do things without much thinking. If you get a digital you could definitely get some good shots.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I will have to pick your brains at some point. I only use my phone for shots at the moment, but I'd love a camera. Any brands you'd recommend?

I am from California.

I haven't been to Iceland.

I shop at Goodwill. I like 80's clothing.

I like photography. I got my love of photography from my dad.

I like to do portraits, but my favorite thing to photograph is landscapes and nature. I have practiced a lot with photography.

I love Goodwill.

I want to move to Iceland.

I like all sorts of clothing. I like unique items.

I would like to take photography lessons. I'd like to buy a camera.

[Speaker 1] I took the most beautiful portraits yesterday!

[Speaker 2] That's so cool! Who did you take them of?

[Speaker 1] I took some pictures of the mountains here in Colorado. It's so peaceful to see the fresh snow in the forest.

[Speaker 2] That sounds beautiful! Were they the background for the portraits you took?

[Speaker 1] They were! I enjoy taking photographs of landscapes and nature.

[Speaker 2] With mountains like that, I'd want to take tons of landscape pictures too! Have you taken any photos with your dad recently?

[Speaker 1] It's been a while but hopefully we'll be able to take a trip soon and take photos together. Maybe in Iceland! Have you been?

[Speaker 2] I have been doing well! I've started saving up for the big move to Iceland–hopefully I'll be able to take the plunge soon!

[Speaker 1] That's so cool, I would love to go sometime. You'll probably need some new clothes to deal with the weather over there right?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's one of the biggest expenses I'm planning for. I barely have any cold weather gear now! Do you need snow gear for the Colorado mountains?

[Speaker 1] At this time of the year I do. I live in California but its a short flight to Colorado so I try to go at least a couple times a year. Thats why Ive got the gear already

[Speaker 2] That's so interesting! I don't travel very much, so it's been a while since I was on a plane. Hopefully I'll get to cold weather soon!

My mom is my favorite person.

I need more uniforms for my high school band performance I have. I play clarinet.

[Speaker 1] I have been looking for some local shops in New York for my holiday shopping.

[Speaker 2] You have to go to SoHo for the best local shops.

[Speaker 1] Where is it located in New York?

[Speaker 2] It's in lower Manhattan, I thought you lived here. Soho is pretty famous. What do y ou think of Grey's new storyline with Meredith?

[Speaker 1] Indeed I live here but I have never heard the name of that Store, need to pay a visit and Grey is taking a twist in the story need to wait and watch what's up next.

[Speaker 2] Soho is a neightboorhood in Manhattan, they have the best store. How old is your pug?

[Speaker 1] Are you available this weekend can you take me to that store, we can shop together and my Pug is 2 years old. How old is yours?

[Speaker 2] I have a golden retriever, he is 3 years old. Sure we can meet up and go shopping.

[Speaker 1] What do they usual sell at that store?

[Speaker 2] clothes, mostly, some jewelry and local handmade goods.

[Speaker 1] That is what I was looking for also do you know any store that sell antique goods?

[Speaker 2] We can walk around down there, I can't think of anything off the top of my head but I am sure we can find something. What are you studying in grad school?

I'm a law grad student.

I am doing holiday shopping in New York. I'm from New York. I live in New York. I have never heard of SoHo.

I have a loyal 2 year old pug.

I have a lazy Golden retriever. Watching Grey's Anatomy is my and my dog's favorite pastime.

My mom is my favorite person.

[Speaker 1] I looked online and found a neat antique shop in New York. Maybe we can swing by there.

[Speaker 2] I'd love that! I haven't gotten to go antique shopping in forever so that sounds awesome.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I'm interested to see if they have early 20th century clothing and jewelry. Perhaps they'll have an antique clarinet? It's always interesting to discover what those places have.

[Speaker 2] Oooh early 20th century fashion is so gorgeous! Plus I'm always down to look at vintage instruments! It's so cool to see how these things change over time.

[Speaker 1] Agreed! Were you able to catch last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, by the way?

[Speaker 2] No, I wish! I had an extra practice for the band performance coming up so I missed the episode. Did anything interesting happen?

[Speaker 1] Actually, I ended up missing it too, was hoping to get the gist of it. I was busy with my law studies and ended up sleuthing for antique shops for way too long. Ah well.

[Speaker 2] That's too bad–maybe we can DVR it and catch up together! Were you at least getting to study something interesting?

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a good plan to me. As for the studying, not particularly. Mostly just memorizing the landlord and tenant laws that are commonly referenced in dispute. So basically I just reading the same thing over and over.

[Speaker 2] Ooof, that's no fun. Hopefully the antique shopping and tv-watching can help take your mind off of it for a while.

[Speaker 1] Hopefully. It's always swimming around in the back of my mind these days, which isn't bad overall, but maybe the antique shopping will give me the complete break I need for a little while.

[Speaker 2] I could use a break too–even when you love what you do, all the practice definitely starts to take its toll.

I'm a law grad student. I am currently studying laws that relate to rental properties.

I have a loyal 2 year old pug.

I am looking to buy clothes, jewelry, and handmade goods. I'm also looking to buy antiques. I like antique clothing, jewelry, and musical instruments from the early 20th century.

I like Grey's Anatomy.

My mom is my favorite person.

I enjoy antiquing. I find fashion from the early 20th century to be aesthetically appealing.

[Speaker 1] How did your band performance go? I wanted to watch you play but I had an exam coming up.

[Speaker 2] It's okay - there will always be more performances... It went pretty well. There were a lot more people there than I had expected! Did you get a lot of studying in?

[Speaker 1] I did get a lot of studying done. I am stressed out with my exams coming up and I worry that I will not get good enough grades in law school. Do you enjoy attending Julliard? I have heard such wonderful things about their program.

[Speaker 2] I do. It's a lot of work and definitely challenging, but it's worth it. I wish I had more 'free time' but I know this is only going to last for a little while longer. Then I can get back to other things in my life that I enjoy.

[Speaker 1] That is a great perspective to have! I could use that outlook in a lot of areas in my life these days. Have you found any good antiques lately?

[Speaker 2] I haven't had much time - it's really a time suck to go find antiques. I need to be better about scheduling myself for some self-care... things that aren't music or school.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think everyone could use time for hobbies and things they enjoy aside from work and school. I know I could spend more time doing the things I like doing, like watching Grey's Anatomy!

[Speaker 2] Grey's is sooo good! I remember when I first starting watching it. I was instantly hooked.

[Speaker 1] Me too! I love finding a show, or a book, that instantly grabs you and makes you want more. It is hard to find but so good when you do!

[Speaker 2] Exactly. It's a catch-22, because I love getting into something like that, but then feel like it pulls me away for too long from other things.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I could be better at time management and blocking specific time off for things like Grey's. Maybe just an hour a day would be helpful in managing stress, getting more done, and overall life satisfaction.

[Speaker 2] That's very true! I would be more focused and productive if I had some 'off' time.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you? Catching up my game of thrones.

[Speaker 2] I am well. I could use a caramel cappuccino though.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good on this chilly night for sure.

[Speaker 2] Definitely! They're the only thing keeping me at my job!

[Speaker 1] Lol I bet, I like walks on the beach.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I like to read crime books anywhere... With a cappuccino

[Speaker 1] My fav color is blue, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I like red, but I also like white and black.

[Speaker 1] Yea I did too, like music?

[Speaker 2] I love music. I get to hear loud music every day ever since I moved out.

[Speaker 1] I like pop it keeps the party going.

[Speaker 2] Definitely. We have a lot of parties here.

[Speaker 1] Cool, gotta invite me out then

[Speaker 2] Yeah, weekends only I am in school

[Speaker 1] That's cool, where did you move too?

[Speaker 2] I still live in the same city but I'm a street away from my parents

I watch Game of Thrones.
I like walks on the beach.
My favourite color is blue.
I like pop music.

I have a job.

I like to read crime books. I like to drink cappuccinos.

My favourite colors are red, white, and black.

I love music.

I'm in school.

I live near my parents.

[Speaker 1] What do you do at your job?

[Speaker 2] I sell auto parts. Who is your favorite pop artist?

[Speaker 1] My favorite pop artist is definitely Lady Gaga. Do you like pop, or what genres of music do you enjoy most?

[Speaker 2] I like some pop music. As a matter of fact, I actually enjoy Lady Gaga. But I'm more of a hard rock or industrial music guy. Since you walk on the beach, do you live on the coast?

[Speaker 1] I wish! I live in the city but I grew up in California. I get homesick a lot but I still take walks on the beach every single chance I get. In fact, I'm taking a vacation to Thailand next month and will be going to the beaches there. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] I've never been anywhere outside of the US, besides going to Canada once as a kid. I'd love to do more travel. Thailand looks so beautiful, so I'm rather envious. Is it going to be your first trip there?

[Speaker 1] I have been once before and fell in love. I told myself I'd go back to visit the beaches since I only got a chance to go to Bangkok when I went the first time. You should definitely try to travel more, there is so much to discover!

[Speaker 2] I agree, but I haven't been in a financial position to do much of that. Thankfully, my wife got an amazing job, and so our situation's improving enough for us to start planning some international travel next year. We're thinking of going to Japan.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Thailand was very, very cheap. My flight cost less than a thousand dollars round trip and I spent less than a thousand dollars while I was there and I was there for two weeks. Japan I hear is very expensive, though. I'm glad your financial situation is improving! Hopefully you get to travel a lot in a few years!

[Speaker 2] Thank you! Yes, Japan is pretty expensive, but we both have been wanting to visit the Disney theme park over there, because it looks so amazing. So are you doing anything else besides laying on the beach when you visit Thailand?

[Speaker 1] I will be going to Chiang Mai to stay at an elephant sanctuary for about a week where I will be doing charity work. I will also visit a few temples in Chiang Rai. Disney sounds like fun. I used to go to Disney a lot as a kid since I grew up near the park in California.

[Speaker 2] My wife and I live in Orlando, and have a bunch of friends working at the parks, so it's become a big part of our lives. That's so neat that you're doing elephant sanctuary work; I did a day of volunteering at one a couple years ago.

I watch Game of Thrones.

I like walks on the beach.

My favourite color is blue.

I like pop music. My favorite pop artist is Lady Gaga.

I live in the city. I grew up in California. I get homesick a lot.

I'm going to Thailand next month. I love Thailand.

I was in Thailand before for two weeks, and spent less than two thousand dollars.I will be doing charity work at an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai.

I went to Disney a lot as a kid.

I am married.  I'm in school. I work at an auto parts store.

I like Disney. I live in Orlando. Disney is a big part of my life. I volunteered at an elephant sanctuary one day a couple years ago. I live near my parents.

I like pop music, especially Lady Gaga. My favorite is hard rock and industrial music.

I live in the US. Canada is the only country I have traveled to. I'm not in a good financial position, but it is improving. I'm thinking of going to Japan.

[Speaker 1] I just booked my flight to Thailand!

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! Do you have any special plans for while you're there besides the charity work?

[Speaker 1] Of course! I'll definitely hit up the beaches while I'm there. I'm from California so I can never be too far from the water. How's school going by the way?

[Speaker 2] It's going very well. Just two more months before I graduate with my Bachelor's degree! I'm very excited.

[Speaker 1] That's great! What are you majoring in? Any plans after you graduate?

[Speaker 2] Business Administration is my major. My plan is to use my educational background to secure a management position at an auto shop.

[Speaker 1] That's a solid plan. Are you looking to stay in Orlando at the current auto shop you work for or are you looking elsewhere?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm hoping to just be able to get a promotion here as that makes it easier. I feel like my experience and dedication to improving myself should make that possible. If not though, I'll start looking into other places.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. I'm all for self-improvement. Disney might be a good option to look into as well.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to kick tires (no pun intended) over there either. I feel like my work background isn't too relevant, and not having any management experience yet doesn't help. Still, it's a worth a shot.

[Speaker 1] That's true. Hadn't considered that. Would your spouse be willing to move if need be as well?

[Speaker 2] Hopefully that won't have to happen; it's not something we've discussed yet. I'm not to keen on it myself, with Disneyworld and my parents so closeby. I might just have to stay on as a sales rep for a little while longer if things don't pan out.

I watch Game of Thrones.

I like walks on the beach.

My favourite color is blue.

I went to Disney a lot as a kid.

I am married. I work at an auto parts store. I am a sales rep.

I am in college working towards my Bachelor's degree. I am studying Business Administration. I do not have any management experience.

[Speaker 1] If you could travel anywhere after you graduate, where would you go? After all that school work, you deserve a vacation!

[Speaker 2] I've been thinking about France a lot. There is a Disney park in Paris. I'd love to experience it.

[Speaker 1] I've never been to the one in France. I bet it's got its own interesting differences. There's one in Hong Kong too, I believe.

[Speaker 2] Really? I didn't realize that there's a Disney park in Hong Kong. That's so cool! Speaking of traveling, are you excited for your big trip to Chiang Mai?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, Thailand is great. The people are really friendly and the food is stupendous. The weather can be a bit hot, but I think I'll get used to it.

[Speaker 2] I was reading a little about Chian Mai. It sounds like there are some incredible temples there from the 14th and 15th centuries.

[Speaker 1] Thailand is an ancient land. Their sense of history is quite different from other places. They revere their king.

[Speaker 2] I don't know very much about their culture, honestly. You will learn a lot being immersed in it. I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

[Speaker 1] I'd like to pick up a bit of the language, if I have the chance. It's quite different from English, so I don't know how much I'll be able to learn.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to be able to speak a second language. I think you'll be able to learn quite a bit of conversational phrases. Immersion is supposed to be the best way to learn.

[Speaker 1] I bet they all speak English pretty well, considering all the tourists that they get. A few basic phrases, greetings and the like, would be good enough for this trip.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure you're right. I read about the elephant sanctuary where you'll be volunteering. It sounds like it's a very popular destination for tourists.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hey I'm doing great spending the day off with my wife and kids

[Speaker 1] Very nice. So tell me about yourself.

[Speaker 2] I'm a childrens doctor at my own office. What do you do for a living

[Speaker 1] That must be very fulfilling. I'm a truck mechanic.

[Speaker 2] That seems like a lot of work.

[Speaker 1] It can be sometimes. I bet being a doctor is a lot of work too.

[Speaker 2] Not really anymore I just make sure kids are not sick anymore.

[Speaker 1] And I make sure trucks are not sick anymore!

[Speaker 2] Lol that is very true. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I like to take my doberman for walks. You?

[Speaker 2] Those are cute dogs. I go to the bowling alley

[Speaker 1] Are you on a team, or in a league?

[Speaker 2] No I just play every once in a while. I take my family

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

[Speaker 2] Yeah I take them with me everywhere when I am off

I'm a truck mechanic.

I have a wife and kids.

I go to the bowling alley for a hobby.

I only bowl every once in a while.

[Speaker 1] I had a difficult day at work today. I took my dog for a walk to get my mind off it.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, what happened at work?

[Speaker 1] one of my colleague did not finish his presentation which was due today.

[Speaker 2] That's unfortunate, sorry to hear that. Was the presentation important to you?

[Speaker 1] yes it was! there was a meeting scheduled and presentation was the main part of that. All the team were ashamed due to this incident.

[Speaker 2] It's frustrating when people don't do their part. Hopefully he's willing to put in more effort in the future.

[Speaker 1] He will, he is hardworking. There might be some personal problem that he could not make it. How's your work going on? It must be fun to see kids everyday and heal them.

I'm a truck mechanic. I work in an office. I work on a team.

I have a wife and kids.

I go to the bowling alley for a hobby.

I only bowl every once in a while.

[Speaker 1] You inspired me to go bowling for the first time in a while.

[Speaker 2] That's great. How did you do?

[Speaker 1] I did OK, but my husband did way better than me–apparently he was in a bowling league in college! Either way, it was still pretty fun. Have you gone bowling recently?

[Speaker 2] I haven't as I have been so busy at work. One of the bowling alleys in my town has closed down so I'm hoping the other one stays open.

[Speaker 1] Fingers crossed for the other bowling alley! I hope work has been OK, even if it's been busy. I can't imagine working with that many people every day.

[Speaker 2] It's a lot of work but I love my job. We just got a golden doodle puppy and named him Murphy. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 1] A golden doodle!! How cute! My dog is doing great–the weather's warming up so we're getting to go on lots of walks. Do you and your new puppy go for walks?

[Speaker 2] We try, but right now he is so small he is more interested in sniffing and all the receiving all the hugs he receives by everyone. I don't remember if you ever told me your dog's name?

[Speaker 1] I believe it–puppies are always big explorers. I don't think I did! Her name is Tess. What is your dog's name?

[Speaker 2] His name is Murphy. My son came up with the name. I'm looking forward to him getting bigger and taking him for lots of walk near the forest.

[Speaker 1] Oh you mentioned his name! How could I forget! How cool that your son named him. We'll have to take our dogs for walks together sometime! That'd be tons of fun.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! With all the nice weather we've been having I bet you are getting in some good surfing. Have you ever hurt yourself?

I like to take my doberman dog for walks as a hobby. I have a dog named Tess.

I recently started bowling again.

I have a husband.

I have a wife and kids. I have a son.

I'm a children's doctor at my own office. My job involves working with lots of people.

I go to the bowling alley for a hobby. I only bowl every once in a while. I have been too busy at my job.

I have a Golden Doodle puppy named Murphy.

[Speaker 1] How old is your son?

[Speaker 2] My son is 8, do you have any kids?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any kids yet, but maybe one day.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, so how is your job going?

[Speaker 1] It's going well. Transitioning to office work from being out in the shop has been a big change. How are things in your office?

[Speaker 2] Very busy, it never really slows down but I enjoy it. I meet a lot of interesting families. Are you permanently in the office now?

[Speaker 1] Yes, more scheduling and ordering now than actually getting dirty on the trucks. It's not as active, but it pays a little better since I'm doing more managing.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! Do you still have time for bowling?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's actually made more time! I also have more time to hang out with my dog, Tess.

[Speaker 2] Aww, that is great. How is Tess doing? Have you been going on a lot of walks?

[Speaker 1] So many walks. She loves it and it's a great healthy hobby for me.  How is Murphy doing learning to have good manners on a leash?

[Speaker 2] He is doing better but still learning what it means to be on a leash, he acts like it isn't even there and will try to run off just to get pulled back.

The cops tend to watch me closer than others.
