[Speaker 1] Since I am 6 years old, I do karate after school. When do you have your karate lessons ?

[Speaker 2] I usually go on the weekends. My parents work so late so it's hard to have them on weeknights. Once I get my license, that should change though.

[Speaker 1] There are doing great, I think the karate makes me a better football player, I am more nibble than my teammates.

[Speaker 2] That's such a great feeling to have. Karate does teach you so much more than just the physical moves.

[Speaker 1] And you do you have examples of karate making you better in other fields ?

[Speaker 2] I think mostly I feel so much more confident in myself and my abilities. I'm usually very likely to quit things, but with karate I'm just so much more comfortable with myself.

[Speaker 1] I haven't read much lately, since I've been busy with baking and dancing, but it'd be nice to start a new book if you have any suggestions.

[Speaker 2] I don't think you would be interested in the types of books I have been reading. I like to read books about activism, mainly about political or social issues. I do like to read a good piece of literature by one of the masters from time to time also.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's too bad. I wonder if you have any interest in baking!

[Speaker 2] I do like to cook, but I have not tried very much baking. I usually just go to the local bakery and pick up my breads and cakes. I'm glad some people love to bake cakes because I sure love to eat them.

I am Oliver.

I especially like baking cakes. I am just learning how to bake from my mom. I am aspiring to be good at baking.

I practice dancing almost every day. I once placed first in a tap dance competition. I take tap dancing lessons.

I am Michelle.

I love reading. I don't like reading anything law related. I like good literature from the masters every once in a while.

I like books about activism. I focus on activism in my free time.

I do not like my job.

I am not a good dancer. I am not very artistic.

I like to cook but haven't tried baking.

[Speaker 1] Have you read any good books lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have read a couple of really good books lately about going after goals that you have set for yourself. Do you like to read?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I like to read at least a couple of books per month. I mostly read fiction books, that are full of thrills and suspense.

[Speaker 2] I agree, I do like books that keep me on the edge of my seat. How have tap dancing lessons been going for you?

[Speaker 1] Its going great, I feel I am making good progress. I'm hoping I can compete again in a tap dance competition soon, I am going for first place again.

[Speaker 2] That is great! Do your parents like to come and watch you compete?

[Speaker 1] Yes they do, the like to make the time to see me compete. Its always motivating to see my family out in the crowd rooting for me in a dance competition.

[Speaker 2] I bet, they sound very supportive. Are you and your mom still baking together?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am still learning how to bake with my mom. She has taught me a lot of different recipes so far, I hope I can learn how to bake a fruit tart from her soon.

[Speaker 2] I've never had a fruit tart before, what type of fruit do you plan to put in it?

[Speaker 1] It varies from bakery to bakery, but in general I have seen them use berries such as blueberries and strawberries. Some of them even add other types of fruits such as mangoes or kiwis.

[Speaker 2] Wow, mangoes and kiwis would be very interesting. I'd love to get more into baking.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the advice, I'll try it. You into music?

[Speaker 2] Only on girls night! I'll listen to anything with an apple martini in me!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I loved the band toto so much I named my dog after them.

[Speaker 2] Oh my! I've too many kids for a dog

[Speaker 1] My grandma from denmark always says kids and dogs are basically the same lol.

[Speaker 2] Well do you take your dog to soccer practice 3 times a week!

[Speaker 1] No but I do make us both meatloaf, its our favorite food.

[Speaker 2] I wish! In too busy at pta, my 4 book clubs and my brunch clubs.

[Speaker 1] Jesus woman, you ever get a minute to yourself?

[Speaker 2] Maybe when I'm on pinterest!

[Speaker 1] Youre family sounds like its fun though. Its just me and toto

[Speaker 2] It can be. But my real dream is to design clothes in paris.

[Speaker 1] Yeah mine is just to get rid of this smell in my car lol

[Speaker 2] My black suburban says vinegar and baking soda all the way! Works wonders.

I have a new green car.
I have a dog.
I have a grandma from Denmark.

I take my kids to soccer practice 3 times a week.

I volunteer in the PTA, book, and brunch clubs.

I want to be a clothes designer.

[Speaker 1] I got the smell out of my car

[Speaker 2] What was the smell like and what did you use to get it out?

[Speaker 1] Throw up... My dog got a little car sick today. I used some baking soda and vinegar to neutralize the odor.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad it came out! Glad I don't have a dog so I don't have to worry about that.  Although my kids certainly have spilled many things in my car. Does it still have that new car smell?

[Speaker 1] Sadly I think the dog took care of it having that new car smell any longer. It's a toss up on who is messier, dogs or kids.

[Speaker 2] For sure!  What are you making for dinner tonight?

[Speaker 1] Probably some meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans. I've been craving it for a while now!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, one of these days I hope you will share your meat loaf recipe with me.  Is it your Grandmas recipe?

[Speaker 1] It is. she would make it for us every year when we'd go visit her. I'd love to make it for you and the kids some time.

[Speaker 2] I would love that and I can share one of my brunch dishes with you!  My Brunch club always sends around the recipes after our meetings

[Speaker 1] maybe we can get together for martinis and a recipe swap sometime when you aren't busy with the kid stuff. I'm sure you could use a day off.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan, I definitely need to get out of some of my commitments.  It becomes over whelming some weeks.  Let set a date!

I have a new green car.

I have a dog.

I have a grandma from Denmark.

I can cook meatloaf.

My car was smelling bad. My dog threw up in my car. My car no longer smells new.

I drink martinis.

I have a car.

I want to be a clothes designer.

I do not have a dog. I have kids.

I am a member of a brunch club. My life is busy.

[Speaker 1] The meatloaf was fabulous tonight!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome!  I need to try it sometime!  I'm always so busy, I never have time to cook!  Between activities we usually just stop and get fast food.

[Speaker 1] Kids can make eating at home difficult if you're running around a lot.  How's the brunch club?  DO you at least get that in?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I make time for that.  It usually the only time I get to sit down!  And sometimes at night when I have my apple martini!  How's your car doing?  Did you get the throw up smell out?

[Speaker 1] I think the smell is getting better - definitely lingering though.  Martinis are a great way to relax.  I like mine dirty, not so fruity, but to each his own :)

[Speaker 2] I'm not a big fan of olives!  I prefer fruit!  So does your dog always get car sick?  Sometimes I think I want a dog but then I hear stories about dogs throwing up in cars and I change my mind!

[Speaker 1] Usually she's fine.  I'm wondering if she was over excited or ate something that she shouldn't have. It's tough to watch the ALL the time.  How are your designs coming?

[Speaker 2] It's going good.  I wish I could spend more time on them.  The kids just take up so much of my time though!  Sometimes I work on them in the car while I'm waiting for my kids at soccer practice.   Some day they'll be grown and I'll have more time!

[Speaker 1] In the car sometimes kids can be like the dog though . . . don't let them read too much in traffic or your car might smell bad too.  If you get what I mean haha

[Speaker 2] Oh for sure!  I do know what you mean!  I'm the same way!  No reading in the car when it's moving for me!  Only when I'm parked in the lot waiting for them to finish practice!!!

[Speaker 1] Fair enough.  Always good to know thyself.  I can read on the highway but not around town.

[Speaker 2] I'm envious of people that can read on long road trips!  It would give me something to do to pass the time when I'm the passenger!  Normally I just stare out the window until I fall asleep!

[Speaker 2] Its all in how you treat them like all animals

[Speaker 1] That is absolutely the case. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] I'm a science treat at the local university got my masters a few years ago

[Speaker 1] That sounds rewarding. I do computer programming for facebook

[Speaker 2] Teacher sorry about the typo. Wow that's a great job

[Speaker 1] I'm fortunate in that regard

[Speaker 2] Yeah what do you do in your spare tie

I have two pitt bulls.
I do computer programming for facebook.

I like dogs.

I'm a science teacher at the local university. I got my masters a few years ago.

[Speaker 1] How is your teaching career?

[Speaker 2] Honestly its a learning curve, but there isnt anything in this word i have found more rewarding. Are you still programming exclusively for Facebook or have you expanded?

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear you enjoy your job! I am still programming into Facebook, I've just received a promotion actually. What university do you teach at?

[Speaker 2] I'm currently at the University of Illinois Chicago, and this winter has been furious but its made the campus so beautiful. You said you received a promotion, what are you doing now?

[Speaker 1] University of Illinois has such a wonderful campus, I'm happy for you. How long have you been working there? I remember not too long you had graduated. I am now lead Developer in our marketplace feature, its been making me work very long hours.

[Speaker 2] You're memory is fantastic! I graduated 3 years ago and have been working at UIC for about 8 months now as an Anatomy and Physiology Professor. Now remind me because you know i struggle with this social media culture. However, the marketplace is the online private selling platform Facebook introduced right?

[Speaker 1] Must've been rough going 2 years looking, but I'm glad you found a place where you're welcomed and appreciated. That is correct! its an open market inside the App, it has helped so many people and I'm so excited to better peoples experience. Now do you remember my dogs Kiki and Chaco?

I am a computer programmer for Facebook. I recently received a promotion. I am now a Lead Developer on the marketplace feature. I work long hours.

I have two pitt bulls, Kiki and Chaco.

I like dogs.

I'm a science teacher at the University of Illinois Chicago. I find it rewarding. I have worked at UIC for 8 months. I graduated 3 years ago with a master degree. I am Anatomy and Physiology Professor.

[Speaker 1] Have you been enjoying teaching at the college level?

[Speaker 2] I have and I haven't. I only have a few motivated students this semester and I'm teaching an extra class while a coworker is out sick. I generally find it rewarding, but there is so much apathy and C-F grades in this one class that I think 80% are going to wash out. That doesn't look great on my teaching record.

[Speaker 1] I would imagine it's to be expected at the college level. So many kids go to college because they're pressured into it by teachers and parents when it's not really what they want.

[Speaker 2] It is. I really think this country needs to rethink college. I know I didn't go until I was 24 and I didn't regret it a bit. I worked as a manager at Walmart saving money and took advantage of their $1/day degree program offer. I don't regret going into college more mature with a savings cushion at all.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad I went when I did because tuition wasn't too through the roof yet, but greedy schools perpetuating this myth that you won't succeed unless you go to college when you're 18 needs to end.

[Speaker 2] It seriously does. I started at a community college and then took my masters on a scholarship. I don't regret my higher education, but I think more people are fit for the "work your way up" track through companies rather than sit in school for four years. Trade schools are also a great alternative.

[Speaker 1] Trade schools were almost looked down on when I was in high school, but the friends I have that went into trades are doing very well in life.

[Speaker 2] My best friend went to get an electrician certification and now has his own business locksmithing and doing electrical work. He makes a great living. People shouldn't look down on it. It's a great alternative for people who are very detail and hands on oriented. Some people just do great at manual labor/construction and they should play to their strengths.

[Speaker 1] Like anything, colleges became all about the money. It's like a temp agency. Just like they'll put you in any job even if they know you'll quit because it's not a good fit just to bring in some income, colleges know that there will always be a steady stream of high school graduates. Even if they wash out in a year, the school will make money from them.

[Speaker 2] Let me tell you, as someone who teaches in one they are all about the money. I think people are generally better off working until they figure out what they really want to do. I think over 60% of our freshmen burn out and drop by sophomore year. I love that analogy comparing colleges to temp agencies, I think I'm going to have to tell people that one. I don't regret going and love my job, but I would have been happy to keep working my way up at Walmart. I made great money and had great benefits overall.

[Speaker 1] I've worked at Wal-Mart in the past, so I don't agree there. That was a very toxic place to work. But can see how it would be frustrating working as a teacher in a place that's designed to set people up to fail.

[Speaker 2] I think I mostly wish people would wait and see if they really want to make the investment. Too many of the students are focused on partying not studying and that doesn't help. We had a great small town location with a tight knit staff but I know it can vary. I think you either love or hate working there.


I want a little more flexibility with my finances.

I love to run.

I like heavy metal.

My job is on the line in a kitchen.

I like to go to conventions with other fans.

I compose small movies.

I am sexually attracted to other women.

[Speaker 2] What type of work do you do?

[Speaker 1] I man the grill it isn't enough

[Speaker 1] I'm good. Who is your favorite singer?

[Speaker 2] Lady gaga! Org I could listen to her and madonna all day long

[Speaker 1] Do you travel much? I love to visit india.

[Speaker 2] Well, I go to several concerts across the country every year

[Speaker 1] Do you explore the different cities you visit?

[Speaker 2] Of course, and I love visiting local spots to hear local bands play

[Speaker 1] Do you play any instruments? I'm more of an athlete than musician.

[Speaker 2] I play piano but on my retail salary, I cannot afford too many instruments

[Speaker 1] My niece plays piano, and guitar. She also does vocals very well.

[Speaker 2] Maybe she will be famous one day

I love visiting India.
I am an athlete. I am not a musician.
I have a niece.

My favorite singers are Lady Gaga and Madonna.

I travel and explore cities. I go to several concerts every year year. I love hearing local bands. I play piano. I work in retail. I do not have a lot of money.

[Speaker 1] What are some of your favorite cities you've visited?

[Speaker 2] I love visiting New York, although it can be very expensive.  I also love New Orleans for live music.

[Speaker 1] I've been to New York, It's a little too busy for me. New Orleans sounds fun though.

[Speaker 2] New Orleans is great and most of the time the weather is warm.  Its a great place to visit during Mardi Gras.  What is your favorite city to visit in India?

[Speaker 1] Agra is a great place to go if you are interested in seeing the Taj Mahal. It's breathtaking to see in person. I recommend everyone goes at least once.

[Speaker 2] What is the best time of year to visit there?

[Speaker 1] Go In the fall and winter. Temperatures are good and you won't get drenched in rain so much. It can get quite warm and lots of rain in the spring and summer. I'd recommend any time from about November to February.

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure I can afford it in the near future, it would be something I would need to save up for.  Have you ever taken your niece there?

[Speaker 1] It can get expensive. My niece has gone a few times. she always has a lot of fun. and it gets more fun to bring her as she gets older.

[Speaker 2] I know you aren't into live concerts that much, I love concerts are there good venues in India like there are here?

[Speaker 1] They have quite a few actually. I'm sure it would be fun to see a concert there. definitely something to put on your bucket list.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for your recommendations, maybe we could plan a trip there together some time

I am an athlete. I am not a musician. I  do not enjoy live concerts.

I have a niece.

I have visited New York but did not like it. I love visiting India. I enjoyed visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal.

I have a young niece.

I love visiting New York and New Orleans. I cannot afford travel in the near future.

[Speaker 1] Anything coming up in the local music scene you're excited to check out?

[Speaker 2] Not recently.  I guess I'm just too bummed about not being able to go on a trip to notice any good bands.  You know what I mean?

[Speaker 1] I hear ya.  But you can't let that get you down.  You've got to have a few good bands that will be playing in the next few weeks.  Have you thought about playing piano at one of those piano bars?

[Speaker 2] No! I have never thought of that!  To be honest, I'm not sure I'm good enough to be paid for playing.  I know you don't like live music but there is something more to be said about the quality when it's live.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it is.  It's just so loud and so many drunk people spilling booze everywhere.  OMG, I sound like my parents!  Seriously, I don't think you give yourself enough credit.  You should audition...think of the money you could make if you got the gig.  First place you'd travel with that money?

[Speaker 2] The money would be nice, that's true enough.  Let's see... the first place I'd go with extra cash would be... New Orleans! It's great this time of year!  Where would you go?

[Speaker 1] New Orleans!  I'm sure you'd get a larger variety of music styles in NY but there's just something about the jazz in NOLA.  Don't even get me started on the food.  Sure could go for a beignet and some chicory coffee right now.  I know you like more of the mainstream vibe what else do you listen to?

[Speaker 2] Believe it or not, I'm still in to Lady Gaga and Madonna.  I know it's weird, but I like them!  What do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 1] I really like classic rock and jazz.  It's an odd combo I know, but you like what you like.  When did you learn to play the piano?

[Speaker 2] I learned as a kid. My mom wanted me to take lessons so I did.  Does anyone in your family play an instrument?

[Speaker 1] No, we're musically challenged!  But if I could play, I would try guitar.  Would you want to play another other instrument?

[Speaker 2] The guitar is a great one!  You should learn and then we could play together.  I've always been focused on the piano and never thought about playing anything else.

[Speaker 2] I'm good.. How about you..

[Speaker 1] I'm doing well. Just playing with my dog.

[Speaker 2] Aww... I like dogs too.. I have 3

[Speaker 1] I just have one. I used to have a cat but she died.

[Speaker 2] Sorry... Where are you from?? How is you weekend going

[Speaker 1] My weekend is going well. I live in canada. You?

[Speaker 2] I'm in newyork. We went to a picnic today.. Whether was good this morning

[Speaker 1] I'd love to visit new york. I want to take the train there one day.

[Speaker 2] You will love the place.. Its gorgeous

[Speaker 1] Have you ever ridden the train there? Or been to grand central stations?

[Speaker 2] Yaa.. We use the trains quite often

I only have one dog. I used to have a cat.

I live in Canada.

I'd love to visit New York.

I have three dogs.
I live in New York.
I use trains quite often.

[Speaker 1] What's some of your favorite places to take your dogs n New York?

[Speaker 2] I love taking them to central park, the beach, and Coney island.

[Speaker 1] Can you take them on the train?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they love riding in the train. I have to keep them from sticking their tongues out the windows because the windows pivot shut.

[Speaker 1] That would hurt. What kind of dogs do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have three dachshunds. They are small and have quite a bark!

[Speaker 1] So cute. Are they all the same age?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I believe they are all from the same litter.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. Do they mind the cold weather we've been having?

[Speaker 2] Well sometimes they shiver but I put little coats on them so that they stay warm. They seem to love the outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I bet they have matching coats. Do they get along with other dogs?

[Speaker 2] Well they bark a lot but soon they just start curiously sniffing. They're quite friendly.

I live in Canada.

I'd love to visit New York. I am also from New York.

I have three dogs.

I live in New York City.

I use trains quite often.

I take my dogs on the train. My 3 dogs are all daschunds. My dogs are siblings. I dress my dogs up in coats. My dogs are friendly towards other dogs.

[Speaker 1] I took the train with my dogs and a cat followed me home. I took her in! She reminded me of the cat I used to have.

[Speaker 2] Aww that is so nice! I wish I could have a cat but my dogs would not like that!

[Speaker 1] Yeah they don't always seem to get along, those cats and dogs. Fortunately, my dog is used to cats as I got him when my cat was still with us. I'm just hoping they enjoy each other just as much! They were inseparable it was so cute.

[Speaker 2] Oh you will have to send some pictures! Do your pets like to go out in the cold? I always have to get my dogs bundled up when it is cold or they refuse to go outside.

[Speaker 1] I definitely will! You will love her markings they are very unique. Yeah I don't really have a choice as it can get quite cold here. I can imagine! Your dogs are so tiny they need some extra layers in that cold NYC air! Do they mind wearing their coats?

[Speaker 2] At first they really didn't like it, then they started to get used to it after awhile. Have you made any plans to visit New York again?

[Speaker 1] Oh that's good, just takes some getting used to. I haven't made plans, but I might have to get going on that. I do have some vacation time built up I am in need of a break anyway.

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice, maybe you will want to go somewhere warmer for your vacation tho. I always try to run away to the beach for a vacation at least once a year.

[Speaker 1] I've always wanted to go to Thailand. They have beautiful beaches! Where's your dream vacation?

[Speaker 2] I would love to go to Brazil. I would love all the beaches and the cultural pieces that I don't always see in New York.

[Speaker 1] Good one! Brazil looks amazing. Do you have people to watch your dogs if you were to go away? I get worried thinking about that... My family doesn't live close I don't know who would dog sit for me! Wait, make that cat sitting as well.

[Speaker 2] There are a couple teenagers in my building that watch my dogs while I am gone. I wonder if the cat would be alright by itself if you just had someone check on it every couple days.

[Speaker 2] Not really. I like to stay home a lot but I might go out to eat.

[Speaker 1] Whats your favorite food? Mine is steak!

[Speaker 2] Me too. I want to go to outback. I love the blooming onion.

[Speaker 1] Those are delish, when I travel alone I head to the closest outback

[Speaker 2] Do you travel a lot?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, mainly because I sleep less than 4 hours a day, how about you?

[Speaker 2] No I like to sleep a lot and I work overnights at a factory.

[Speaker 1] I'm a business man so I'm always traveling. Have any family?

[Speaker 2] No its just me. I had a girlfriend but she broke up with me.

[Speaker 1] Its just me too, parents have passed and am an only child

[Speaker 2] I grew up in a big family but I prefer to be alone.

My favorite food is steak.

I eat at out back when I travel alone. I travel a lot. I sleep less than 4 hours a day.

I'm a business man. I travel a lot.

I like to stay at home.

My favorite food is steak.

I work in a factory at nights. I sleep a lot.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided if you're going out to eat this weekend?

[Speaker 2] I think I'm going to stay home, it just feels cosier to me! Do you have anything planned?

[Speaker 1] Just have to travel to my next city for this coming week's meetings.  I like the trance, but it's getting to be a lot.  Are you going to make steak at home at least?

[Speaker 2] No wonder with the little amount of sleep you've been getting. Maybe you should find some time to relax. Oh yes, I'll be whacking a steak on no doubt. How do you usually travel?

[Speaker 1] They fly me everywhere.  Yeah, I really need to relax.  I just don't have time to relax.  And, honestly, probably don't know how to relax.  I just work because it's less thinking and less time to be lonely.

[Speaker 2] Lucky you! I suppose it's a lot quicker that way. Business class or first class? I hear they have nice loungers in first class

[Speaker 1] Just business.  They're not going to shell out all that money for first class.  But yes, I get to walk through first class every flight...it's quite nice!  Maybe someday.  You should go on a date this weekend!

[Speaker 2] Nevermind. I wish! It's catch 22 - I don't go out because I like to be at home, but how do I meet someone if I don't go out?

[Speaker 1] That's true. Have you ever tried one of the apps?

[Speaker 2] No, I might give it a try. I'm a bit shy. Have you ever used one before?

[Speaker 1] I've tried on and off. But, my problem is I'm never the same place long enough.  I guess I'm just destined to be alone.  It also must be hard for you working the night shifts.

[Speaker 2] That's a shame. It is hard, but I have some good work mates and we have a laugh. Makes the time go faster.

My favorite food is steak.

I eat at out back when I travel alone. I travel a lot for work. I sleep less than 4 hours a day.

I'm a business man. I am single. My parents are deceased. I don't have any siblings.

I like keeping myself busy with work to think less. I need to relax.

I fly business class for my job.

My favorite food is steak.

I am single. I have a big family. I like being alone. I feel cosy staying home. I prefer being home over going out. I am shy.

[Speaker 1] I just found out that i will be flying first-class this time!

[Speaker 2] How exciting! Will this be your first time flying first-class?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I hope it's as good as I hear! Looking forward to lobster and champagne on a plane!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that should be quite a memorable experience! Where are you headed out to this time?

[Speaker 1] My work is sending me to California for the week. Hope I have enough time to take in some of the sights.

[Speaker 2] That's a nice spot to be headed for sure. Do you have any idea what you'd like to do if you have the time? I hear the Monterey Bay Aquarium is quite fascinating.

[Speaker 1] That is a definite stop for me. If I do nothing else I have to go there. I would not mind just relaxing on the beach if I have enough time after work.

[Speaker 2] For sure - you'll have a blast! Although kicking back on the beach is also very appealing after a long day of work. Speaking of which, what will you be doing in California in terms of work?

[Speaker 1] It all deals with big business insurance. Pretty boring but I love the money and the travel. I'm not sure how much longer I can do it though because I'm not getting much sleep.

[Speaker 2] Sounds very lucrative indeed, but that is worrisome in regards to the sleep deprivation. I don't think I'd be able to function for too long with less than 4 hours of sleep a day, haha. You're a warrior for pushing yourself that hard.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I am looking forward to a vacation! Haha

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it should be a lot of fun either way! Have a safe flight and a great time in California.


I hope to save enough money for it.

I m tired of having to read subtitles.

I started learning japanese at college.

I like to watch japanese cartoons anime in my free time.

Our class is planning a trip to japan.

I am not social.

I am very unproductive unless it comes to my job.

I work in a factory.

I don't eat well.

I sleep most of the day.

I'm trying my best to get cash.

I'm studying a new language in school.
I love foreign animated shows.
My group is going to go overseas.

I am so lazy at home but not at work.

I'm a labor worker.

I'm unhealthy.

I spend my afternoon hours relaxing.

[Speaker 1] Hi, would you like to be friends?

[Speaker 2] Hello, sure. Why not? Where are you located?

[Speaker 1] In maryland. It is boring here. I am taking a trip to japan soon

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice. I am a factory worker, so I do not get many trips.

[Speaker 1] I'm learning the language now

[Speaker 2] That's a hard language to learn, I speak a little russian.

[Speaker 1] I really don't want to read subtitles on my favorite anime anymore

[Speaker 2] Oh, okay. I don't mind them.

[Speaker 1] I love it. The japanese are very sophisticated

[Speaker 2] I love the french, I am going to go there when I retire.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be cool. I might stay in japan I like it so much

[Speaker 2] I think I'll eventually move to france.

[Speaker 1] Are animated shows big in france?

[Speaker 2] I don't know, I don't watch them.

[Speaker 1] That is pretty much the only entertainment I enjoy

[Speaker 2] I prefer to get out in nature and hike.

I live in Maryland.  I will be taking a trip to Japan.

I like to watch Japanese cartoons in my free time.  I am learning Japanese. so that I do not have to read subtitles for anime. I would like to move to Japan.

I only enjoy animated shows for entertainment.

I work in a factory.

I can speak a little Russian.

I like French culture.  I will visit France when I retire. I would like to move to France.

I do not watch animated shows or cartoons.

I like hiking.

[Speaker 1] I watched 2 seasons of a really good anime.  I hope there will be another season.

[Speaker 2] What was the series? I haven't watched any anime for a while

[Speaker 1] It's really great. It's a series based on Kurosawa's film The Seven Samurai. But so much better than the movie. You can do much more stuff with animation than you can in live action.

[Speaker 2] Maybe I should give animated shows another chance some time. The film of Seven Samurai was very good. I tend to watch films after work.

[Speaker 1] What have you watched recently?

[Speaker 2] I watched La Haine last night. I really like French films. Do you watch a lot of anime?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, loads of anime! It's all I watch. Every since I was a kid, I just loved it. Especially the proper Japanese anime. Sometimes other groups around the world have tried to copy it, but it's just not the same!! You really should check it out!!

I like the Seven Samurai.

I have loved anime since I was a kid.

I work in a factory.

I can speak a little Russian.

I like hiking.

I like the Seven Samurai.  I just watched La Haine. I like French films.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched any good films lately?

[Speaker 2] I watched La Haine again. What about you? Have you watched any new Japanese cartoons?

[Speaker 1] I just started a new one! Its called Assassination Classroom, and is about an evil alien teacher who previously blew up the moon

[Speaker 2] That actually sounds kind of fun. Maybe I will check it our tonight. I will let you know if I liked it.

[Speaker 1] Please do! Its made for kids but can be enjoyed by all. Have you never been into animated shows, or is it just a recent development in your taste?

[Speaker 2] I just haven't watched too many. Always interested in something else. I feel I've run out of things to watch and want to try something new.

[Speaker 1] Well my favorite animated show is Midnight Gospel, really gave me a new perspective on the self and spirituality. Highly reccomend!

[Speaker 2] Ok! I will watch that one first then. I love spiritual stuff!

[Speaker 1] What is your brand of sprituality? I know everyone has a very personal philsophy about it

[Speaker 2] I have really been sold to just one. Religion in general is more for control but it does allow people have a place to worship. I am more the spiritual side.

[Speaker 1] Religion can get complicated. But I dislike the athiest superioirty complex a lot of academics have

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I just do my own thing. I do like to study other cultures and religions though. It is fascinating to me. All about the same god or source to me.


My spouse is a businessmen.
I have been at the er forever.

[Speaker 1] Kj its my mothers initials

[Speaker 2] That's sweet! Do you like to travel?

[Speaker 1] I do but I am a nurse so I have a busy schedule

[Speaker 2] That is a good job to have. I hate traveling alone and want to go to rome.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you can plan a trip with friends

[Speaker 2] I drink water most of the time.

[Speaker 2] I enjoy pizza, thankfully since I work a pizza place.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that makes sense lol. I also like training dogs

[Speaker 2] Although a nice puck in the mouth would work for me too. I'm so angry.

[Speaker 1] You want to talk about it? I prefer texting to calling.

[Speaker 2] My wife is stage 4. How am I going to raise 3 kids alone?

[Speaker 1] Maybe your mom could help? My mother has to look after my grandmother

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately all of my family is on the other side of the country.

[Speaker 1] Take your mind off it and go to the hockey game tonight.

[Speaker 2] I think I would rather go to the opera and sing along. Its one of my passions.

[Speaker 1] Text me and let me know how it was. Text me, do not call

[Speaker 2] That is what we are doing right now, is not it? Besides, I do not know your number.

I'm just a kid.
My parents are both employed.

[Speaker 1] Hello felix and emmy. I miss home so much, japan.

[Speaker 2] Oh I love japan. I am in a small city wish I could travel.

[Speaker 1] I'm a japanese teacher and I teach drawing on the side as well

[Speaker 2] I'm a chef I love being behind the stove

[Speaker 1] That is great. Although I wish I had someone to cook for. Being 35 gets lonely

[Speaker 2] I know the feeling my children moved out recently.

[Speaker 1] Good for them. Its so hard to communicate in the us. I have a thick accent

[Speaker 2] Oh I think you'd do just fine. Are you into gardening? I love planting new things.

[Speaker 1] I am actually. I wish I have a garden in the back. Although summer is almost over

[Speaker 2] Nice, some plants live through the winter.

[Speaker 1] I know. But the thought of sitting in a garden is pure serenity

[Speaker 2] Yes its so peaceful my pets love it too

I have a dog.
I am from Japan. I have an accent.

I love gardening.

My pets love the garden.

[Speaker 1] How are your cat Felix and dog Emmy enjoying the garden?

[Speaker 2] They both love it. There are more plants blooming recently which I think they enjoy. Do you ever bring your dog to a garden?

[Speaker 1] We go for walks in the park and he is always stopping to smell every flower and plant along the way. I want to start a small  vegetable garden in the spring.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea! Do many people in Japan have vegetable gardens?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think so. When I last lived there, I was living in an apartment building, so there was no land to plant anything. Now I have a large backyard, so I'll see if I have the skills to grow vegetables. What do you recommend for a novice gardener?

[Speaker 2] I came into gardening as part of my interest in cooking  - I began with herbs and vegetables, so I could make fresh foods. I've learned from that it's all about variety, but it has to be a variety of things that work together - I would say learn what plants work well together by getting some beginner's guide!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I love variety in the things that I make, but I can't cook as well as you. What kinds of food are your specialties? Do you make Asian dishes?

[Speaker 2] I specialize in French food, but occasionally we do some fusion dishes at my restaurant that involve asian food. we made a kind of spring roll with crepes once - delicious. I would say cooking, gardening , any hobby it's just about getting into it and enjoying it. What do you cook at home?

[Speaker 1] I mostly make vegetarian dishes, but nothing fancy. I use a lot of eggplant, squash and bok choy. And I really like to use lots of spices.

[Speaker 2] bok choy is one of my favorite ingredients - so versatile. And spices is perfect! you can grow that in your garden too - learn a few things at once. Are you thinking of dating again soon? Partners love someone who can cook.

[Speaker 1] I have my eye on someone, but haven't gotten the nerve to ask her out on a date yet. I'm thinking of asking if she would like to bring her dog here for a play date. haha

[Speaker 2] Really good idea, in my opinion - bonding over being animal-lovers is a great approach. That's awesome that there is someone - how do you know her?

I am 35. I am single.

I have a dog.

I used to live in Japan.  I have a large backyard.

I live in a small city.

I have children.

I love gardening. My pets love the garden.

I have a cat named Felix and a dog named Emmy.

I am interested in cooking. I become interested in gardening because of my interest in cooking.

I am a chef. I own a restaurant that specialized in French food.

[Speaker 1] I have been practicing Japanese calligraphy.  It's really important for me to get the brush strokes just right.

[Speaker 2] Wow. That sounds awesome! How were you able to learn?

[Speaker 1] It was taught to me while living in Japan. It's really hard at first, but then you get the hang of it!

[Speaker 2] What was it like living in Japan? I have ALWAYS wanted to visit. I haven't done a lot of international traveling.

[Speaker 1] It's a culture shock at first, but then you start to get use to it. I highly recommend international travel. It's so cool to see other places.

[Speaker 2] I have only been to France! Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 1] I went a long time ago, so I don't remember too much. I want to go back though! What's one place that you really want to visit?

[Speaker 2] Did you enjoy the food in France? If so, you will have to visit my restaurant! A lot of the recipes are inspired by my French grandparents and my trips to France. Hmmmm.... I think I really want to visit New Zealand. I have heard really great things! What about you?

[Speaker 1] I would love to come visit your restaurant! I really want to visit Greece, so that's next on my list.

[Speaker 2] Just let me know when you want to visit! You are always welcome. I haven't been to Greece either, but I have heard that the mediterranean cruises are amazing!

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite dish at your restaurant?

[Speaker 1] Yes, been married for about twelve years, two kids.. How about yourself?

[Speaker 2] I have been married three times

I deal in antiques online and own a store.

I am from New Orleans.

I have been married for twelve years. I have two kids.

I am from Cali.
I have been married three times.

[Speaker 1] How is the weather in Cali?

[Speaker 2] Oh, it is actually good weather right now, I might go out to eat, how is the weather in ol' Nola?

[Speaker 1] It's okay right now. but we have the hurricane heading towards us currently so if it doesn't change track the weather won't be so nice soon. I'm worried about my business getting hit by the storm. We need to go get that ready.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, sorry to hear that, what do you need to prepare for this weather? are you boarding up your storefront? I know you have some very expensive antiques there, can you take them with you somewhere safe? Where do you plan to stay to protect yourself from the hurricane?

[Speaker 1] Yes, we need to board up the store and put out sandbags to help slow the water from getting inside. There isn't any place to move stuff to. we just have to wait it out and hope we did our best protecting the store and our house.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry to hear that, do you have insurance against the weather? I hear that sometimes they exclude acts of God from insurances.

[Speaker 1] We do. does insurance not cover the big earthquakes you have in California?

I am from New Orleans.

I like antiques. I have a doll collection. I have some very expensive antiques. I have insurance that covers hurricanes.

I have been married for 12 years. I have two kids.

[Speaker 1] The hurricane has turned and the news says it won't hit here now.

[Speaker 2] That is a great relief.

[Speaker 1] I know! I think I should just move to Cali and not worry about hurricanes! Any suggestion?

[Speaker 2] Cali is a great place totally different from New Orleans it is based upon once taste.

[Speaker 1] I know, it'll probably be too expensive for me! what do you do for a living btw?

[Speaker 2] I own a sea shell shop.

[Speaker 1] How is business going for you?

[Speaker 2] Its season time hence the Business is going good and how did to manage to sustain relationship for such long time.

[Speaker 1] Shoot I just cracked open a cold one. About to watch some anime. You?

[Speaker 2] I did just get some good news about getting on the baseball team in college.

[Speaker 1] Really? I like baseball. I used to be a pitcher.

[Speaker 2] I really enjoy baseball. I'll be shortstop.

[Speaker 1] Cool. I watch baseball and like to place bets on the game. Have a fam?

[Speaker 2] I still live at home. I am nineteen.

[Speaker 1] I am alot older than you but this nineteen year old kid was pissing me off

[Speaker 2] What was the kid doing?

[Speaker 1] Trying to throw hands. I almost fanned him down.

[Speaker 2] Not even sure what that means.

[Speaker 1] Its alright never mind. So what do you do for fun? Just baseball?

[Speaker 2] I also hang out with friends.

[Speaker 1] Cool. I like talking to strangers on the internet. Trying to talk to 100.

[Speaker 2] That's an odd goal to have but to each his own.

I like drinking, watching anime.

I like baseball. I used to play baseball. I used to be a pitcher.

I like to place bets on baseball games.

I am older than 19.

I am a college student. I am 19.

I play baseball.  I really like baseball. I will be a shortstop.

I live at home.

I hang out with friends.

[Speaker 1] I just watched the baseball game that was on tv!

[Speaker 2] Really how was it? You know I play baseball.

[Speaker 1] It was a good game! The team I bet on won, so that was an added bonus. Ya, I do we talked about it earlier. I know you like to play, but do you like to watch it too?

[Speaker 2] Of course I love watching baseball. My favorite team is the Boston Red Socks. Did you watch the World Series?

[Speaker 1] The Red Socks are a great team! I don't think I have a favorite team though. Yes I did. The Dodgers and the Rays. It was a good series! Who did you want to win between those two?

[Speaker 2] It really was a good series. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was rooting for the Tampa Rays to win seeing as I'm a Sox fan. Who did you bet on?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense! I ended up betting on the Dodgers, but I had a hard time deciding between the two. It just came down to their stats in the end and I went with the Dodgers. Have you ever been to a MLB game in person?

[Speaker 2] Good bet. I hope it paid off well. I actually have. I've been too many Sox games and I went to a Rays game when I vacationed in Florida. What made you become a baseball fan?

[Speaker 1] It was a nice pay off, but honestly I enjoyed watching the series more than I cared about the money on this one. That's awesome! I've only been to 2 MLB games, but hope to go to more in the future. My dad was really into baseball and just kind of passed the love of the sport down to me. How about you? What made you a fan?

[Speaker 2] No way! Only two games? You better go to more games in the future, but it was actually my grandfather who used to take me to baseball games and he actually was the one who taught me how to play. He was and still is my inspiration to play. Do you still have your grandparents?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! That is such a good story behind why you like to play and watch baseball. I bet that meant so much to him to be able to take you to games and teach you to play. I lost my paternal grandmother about 8 years ago from a sudden heart attack, but I am lucky to still have the others around. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I hope it did. He was by far one of the nicest people you would have ever met. He meant a lot to my family and I. Unfortunately, he passed a few months back and the family is having a hard time coping. My grandmother is really just trying to keep the family united and strong. I have a grandmother on both sides, but both of my grandfathers passed away.

I like drinking, watching anime.

I used to play baseball. I used to be a pitcher. I like to place bets on baseball games.

I am older than 19.

I watch baseball on TV. I think the Red Sox are a great team. I don't have a favorite team. I watched the World Series. I bet on the Dodgers. I enjoyed watching the game more than I cared about the money I won. I have been to 2 MLB games.

My dad was into baseball and passed the love down to me.

I lost my paternal grandmother 8 years ago from a sudden heart attack. I still have the others.

I am a college student. I am 19.

I live at home.

My favorite team is the Red Sox. I was on the edge of my seat for the game. I rooted for Tampa Rays. I vacationed in Florida and went to a Rays MLB game.

My grandfather used to take me to games and taught me how to play. He was and still is my inspiration. He passed a few months back. I have a grandma on both sides. Both of my grandfathers have passed away.

[Speaker 1] I just got some tickets for a MLB game.

[Speaker 2] Really? You will have so much fun, that's awesome!

[Speaker 1] I'm so excited! I have a spare, do you want to come? It's for the Red Sox game!

[Speaker 2] I would love that, that's so nice! Thank you!

[Speaker 1] Of course! What have you been up to in the last couple days?

[Speaker 2] Lot's of school work and busy with baseball! How about youself?

[Speaker 1] Just watching anime and trying to get those tickets, lol. How's school going?

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun! It's been hard and a lot of work, but it's going good!

[Speaker 1] Glad to hear it. And baseball's going well? What position do you play again?

[Speaker 2] Yes baseball is going great! I play shortstop.

[Speaker 1] I loved playing shortstop! That's so cool. Make sure to stretch, your body isn't young forever, haha.

[Speaker 2] I love it! Haha yes I'ven been stretching a lot!


I'd like to retire to hawaii in the next 10 years.

I am not a basketball player though.

My favorite band is the rolling stones.

I currently work for ibm in chicago.

I am almost 7 feet tall.

I live a lie.

I'm a painter.

I won a lottery 6 years ago but nobody knows.

I paint organic scenes with pretty trees.

My wife hates me, she thinks I am lazy and poor.

I hope to move to a tropical island once I'm able to stop working.

I like to play sports.

I like to listen to mick jagger group.

I've a job in finance.

I have a lot of height on me.

I feel like sometimes I'm just pretending.

I work hard at my job, but am more of a dauber than anything.

I have tons of money.

I'm a painter of landscapes.

I am unmotivated and not wealthy and my marriage is failing.

[Speaker 1] Hi. How are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Well.. I gotta tell the truth to somebody, I just have too

[Speaker 1] Go ahead. I am almost seven feet tall by the way

[Speaker 2] Nice, that must be some interesting choices in underwear, I won the lottery

[Speaker 1] Cool. I am not a basketball player though. Cool. You won money.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but I am super lazy and poor, my wife hates me, ink what to do

[Speaker 1] Well, you won the lottery. So she probably likes you now.

[Speaker 2] No she's a scumbag. I need her to be gone. What else do you do...

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of a scumbag. Probably poor people humor.

[Speaker 2] She cheats. Can you make her love you and steal her from me?

[Speaker 1] I work for ibm. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Do not you understand? I do not care where you work. I will pay you.

[Speaker 1] My favorite band is the rolling stones. Do you like them?

[Speaker 2] Omg. Are you daft? Sure, whatever, rolling stones great. Can you be my escape!?

[Speaker 1] I desire a bright future for your grammar.

[Speaker 2] You must not be able to understand millennials, grammar is flexible

I am almost seven feet tall.
I am not a basketball player.
I work for IBM.
My favorite band is the rolling stones.

I won the lottery.

I have a difficult marriage. I do not like my wife. My wife cheats on me. I want for us to separate.

I also like the Rolling Stones.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided on what to do with your lottery money?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, man, probably going to use it to fund the divorce. Legal fees are a bitch. I might see a stones concert too. Have you ever seen them live?

[Speaker 1] Many times! I've lost count of how many concerts I've been to. They get older but their music doesn't age!

[Speaker 2] So true! you don't see many of the other 60s bands still going and getting it like the stones. it's so cool you dig them, most engineers I know tend to like soft rock. Do other guys at IBM like the stones too?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, IBM is full of Stones fans. It feels great being in the crowd, because I'm a head taller than everyone else, I get a direct view of the stage.

[Speaker 2] haha yeah, I'm shorter guy so I was wowed when you said you were almost seven feet. That's crazy. Part of me thinks I'd like to be that tall (maybe my cheating wife would respect a tall guy). but part of me thinks it would be hard in some ways. by the way you never slept with my wife, right?

[Speaker 1] I don't think she did...actually I'm not sure...was she that one blonde woman? Anyway I hope she doesn't take so much of your stuff that you have to use lottery winnings to afford the divorce, that sounds terrible.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you nailed it - blonde through and through. Hey you know what, it's cool if you guys did hook up. I respect an IBM guy who likes the stones, the last guy she hooked up with worked at Papa Johns and was into Twenty One Pilots. I like twenty one pilots, don't get me wrong, but like you get what I'm saying. Anyway, I'm glad my lottery winnings are freeing me from this. Are you married?

[Speaker 1] I tend to not "stick with" one women if you get my drift. But yeah, good luck with the divorce!

[Speaker 2] I feel good about it - divorce is a new beginning, as they say. Never marry, I think you got a good approach

[Speaker 1] Yeah, and with luck you'll still have a lot of lottery winnings to. Go to concerts without all the stress!

[Speaker 2] hell yeah. I might get a computer too. Any suggestions on good models? You seem to have the inside scoop.

I am almost seven feet tall.

I am not a basketball player.

I am an engineer at IBM.

My favorite band is the rolling stones. I've seen the Stones many times that I've lost count.

I don't "stick with" one woman.

I won the lottery. I am using lottery money to fun my divorce.

I also like the Rolling Stones.

I might see a Stones concert.

I am short.

I like Twenty One Pilots.

[Speaker 1] I am going out on a date this weekend.

[Speaker 2] That's great news! I hope it ends well for you. What does your date do for a living? I got my divorce finalized so I'm celebrating!

[Speaker 1] Well I'm trying to date a man this time, since women aren't working out for me. He is some CEO at some company.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I hope that works out for you. What are you guys going to do together?

[Speaker 1] He's flying me out to Madagascar to go to an underwater restaurant! No woman has ever done that for me haha

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! I've never been to Madagascar! I've heard it's really beautiful there. That's a heck of a date! What kind of food it serve?

[Speaker 1] I think they only serve vegan food that that's really good for me! Do you want to join? He said we can do a double date if I wanted to !

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun but I don't think I could take the time off of work. I love vegan food though, have a great time! I recently tried to make a bbq jackfruit and pineapple vegan pizza. So good!

[Speaker 1] I hate jackfruit with a passion, especially the fake meat substitutes made with that! Are you vegan or just like to explore?

[Speaker 2] I just like to explore. I think I liked my now-ex wife's vegan pepperoni pizza better. Someone figured out how do DIY vegan tofu pepperoni at home and I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I've been considering going full vegan for a long time but I'm not sure.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds delicious! You should do it small steps at a time! Maybe try being a vegetarian for some time and see if you can make the transition! Do you still talk to your exes?

[Speaker 2] I don't think I'll ever talk to my ex wife after I finish the divorce. One of my ex girlfriends married my best friend, it was just a brief fling for me and we see each other regularly. I generally try to burn those bridges though. I can't wait to be done with this, you have no idea. That's a great idea. I actually have been vegetarian before but then I fell off the wagon. I could use a diet overhaul. I
