I am 77 years old.
My favorite hobby is gardening.
My family gets together every saturday.
My husband died last year.

I'm afraid to leave the house.

I enjoy reading.

When I was a child I was kidnapped by my uncle.

I love to clean my house.

I live with my sisters and they provide me with all my needs.

Some would compare me to fine wine.
I like to grow plants.
I spend a lot of time with my parents.
I'm a widow.

I do not like going outside.

I really like to learn.

I had a difficult childhood.

Keeping things tidy makes me feel good.

My twins help me with everything and a place to stay.

[Speaker 1] What are you up to today?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Just finished cleaning my house. It is a great feeling. You?

[Speaker 1] I wish I had the energy to do all of that. I am getting old

[Speaker 2] What do you like to do? Reading is a favorite of mine.

[Speaker 1] When I have the energy, I love to garden

[Speaker 2] I would too, but I'm afraid. I never leave home.

[Speaker 1] Wow that must be tough. Why is that?

[Speaker 2] My uncle. He kidnapped me when I was a kid.

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh! That is so terrible. I'm so sorry

[Speaker 2] Thanks. My sisters are the best. They live with me and help me.

[Speaker 1] That's really great. I live alone. My husband passed away last year

[Speaker 2] I am so sorry to hear that.

[Speaker 1] It is okay. My family helps me

[Speaker 2] It is great when we have people to help take care of our needs.

I am getting old.

I love to garden.

My family helps me.

I like to read.

I never leave home.

My uncle kidnapped me as a kid.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite book?

[Speaker 2] Good question, I have so many favorites. But if I had to pick one I guess it would have to be The Psychopath Test by John Ronson. What's yours?

[Speaker 1] The last book I read was Racing in the Rain, a book about a blind guy with a seeing eye dog.

[Speaker 2] I haven't heard of it, was it good? Is it a biography or fiction?

[Speaker 1] It is a work of fiction. Sorry, I was confused.  The art of racing in the rain was a best seller for a number of weeks.

[Speaker 2] Oh, ok. Well how was it, did you like it?

[Speaker 1] It was a very good book.  It helped me forget and got me to engage with those around me. Your book The Psychopath test seems intense.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a good book, I may give it a go if I come across it. The Psychopath Test is quite intense but it is written with a lot of humor. It made me understand that my Uncle was a psychopath though!

[Speaker 1] I find humor is essential as I get older.  It must have been rough for you with your Uncle.  It is good to hear you can find humor again.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it took a long time and I didn't understand it at first. Are you doing any gardening today?

[Speaker 1] I was in the garden earlier today.  I told my family that I wet my plants.  They misunderstood.  It was very funny.

[Speaker 2] oh no! That sounds like an embarrassing misunderstanding!

I am getting old.

I love gardening in my garden.

My family helps me.

I really liked reading the book Racing in the Rain.

I think humor is important.

I like to read.

I never leave home.

My favorite book is The Psychopath Test by John Ronson.

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

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's about all I do since I never leave the house. I was reading one about Donald Duck recently, it was good for laughs haha

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good book haha. How does it compare to The Psychopath Test?

[Speaker 2] Well, it's nothing like that but I like a funny book on occasion. Actually I was thinking of trying to leave home soon since my Uncle is on his deathbed. He's nuts but he's also terminally ill

[Speaker 1] Oh, interesting. That must seem like a breath of fresh air. Have you considered taking your sisters out of the house with you when you leave?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they are eager to have me be on my way again to being independent. It's been so long!

[Speaker 1] I've always enjoyed being on my own. Maybe sometime you could come over and I could show you my garden!

[Speaker 2] Now that sounds like a lot of fun! What all do you have planted this season?

[Speaker 1] I've planted green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. I've always liked to have fresh vegetables that I can eat whenever I want!

[Speaker 2] I do love cucumbers, when they're ice cold and sprinkled with salt and pepper, they are such a great snack. I can taste them already hehe

[Speaker 1] Haha I know what you mean! Have you ever had any experience with gardening?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my one sister has a garden so I help her with the radishes and corn she grows

I am getting old. I love gardening in my garden. I like to have fresh vegetables. I plant vegetables in my garden.

I live alone. My husband died last year. My family helps me.

I think humor is important.

I like being on my own.

I like to read.

I never leave home.

I have an Uncle who is a psychopath. My uncle kidnapped me as a kid. My uncle is terminally ill

I live with my sisters and they help me. I love cucumbers. I sometimes help my sister with her garden.

I read a lot of books. I rarely leave my home. I read a book about Donald Duck. I sometimes like to read funny books.

[Speaker 1] I've started the book The Psychopath Test in the Rain after hearing how much you liked it. I'm enjoying it so far!

[Speaker 2] Oh. wow! It looks like it is my favorite book, however I have bad association with it

[Speaker 1] I understand, I cannot even imagine. Do you read anything else for fun to get your mind off of it? Or any other hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you right, sometimes I prefer humorous or funny books, like about Donald Duck. D\How do you prefer to spare your free time?

[Speaker 1] Besides gardening, I like to get outside and be active with my family. We like to hike and go for bike rides to explore new places. It is physically and emotionally rewarding.

[Speaker 2] Is hiking hard for you ?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am getting old so it is a little hard, but being active keeps me in shape. I don't do any steep hikes by any means! I just go to a local national park and mainly stick to the paths. Do you like to do anything in the outdoors?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I love t spend some time outdoors, especially with my sister, who gives me specific gardening tasks,. This is entertaining, I have to say. Do you feel lonely from time to time?

[Speaker 1] I do feel lonely, that is why I try to keep busy! I also stay active in my community so there are lots of people I can get together with and do fun things like my hikes or going to play Bingo.

[Speaker 2] That is nice! What is the community?

[Speaker 1] I live in a little gated community, so everyone knows everyone, and also knows everyone's business! That can be a blessing and curse...many nosey people! But they mean well.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I have to find something similar for me too

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

[Speaker 2] I am doing great, just working on my new book! How about you?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! You are writing a book? I am doing okay...

[Speaker 2] Yes, I work as a professional author. Why are you only doing ok?

[Speaker 1] I just got braces today. I hate them.

[Speaker 2] I had braces! That was when I found my love of green tea.

[Speaker 1] I cannot wait to get them off! Where are you from?

[Speaker 2] I'm from the countryside. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I live near the beach in fort lauderdale.

[Speaker 2] I used to go for long runs on the beach there to clear my head.

[Speaker 1] I do the same thing with my three dogs. We love to play in the water.

[Speaker 2] Do you have a pool?

[Speaker 1] We do have a pool. Do you like to swim?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes. I mostly like to just sit on my grass and work on my books.

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

[Speaker 2] I've written two self help books and three graphic novels. I also wrote one spy thriller.

I got braces today and I hate them.

I live near the beach in Fort Lauderdale.

I have three dogs

I have a pool.

I am a professional author.

I had braces. I love green tea.

I am from the countryside.

I used to go on long runs on the beach.

I like to sit on grass and work on my books

I've written two self help books and three graphic novels. I also wrote one spy thriller.

[Speaker 1] How is your new book coming along?

[Speaker 2] Not so great.  I am trying to branch out and write something unrelated to my last spy novel but its so hard to come up with good ideas.

[Speaker 1] That's no good, could you just write a sequel instead?

[Speaker 2] That is actually a really good idea! I think Ill run down the beach and brainstorm some ideas.  Thank you so much!

[Speaker 1] A change of scenery is a great way to get the ideas flowing. I just got back from the beach with my dogs.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like so much fun but why do you go to the beach if you have a pool already?

[Speaker 1] My dogs like to splash around in the waves. They don't use my pool, which is probably a good thing because it would be full of dog hair, haha.

[Speaker 2] That really would be hard to clean.  Speaking of hard to clean, how are the new braces?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it clogs up the filter. I'm finding it hard to adjust to them, how long did it take you to get used to your braces?

[Speaker 2] after a couple weeks I barley knew they were there. Sometimes they were a little bothersome but the reward of beautiful teeth for life is well worth the sacrifice.

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear. Are they meant to hurt?

[Speaker 2] They aren't designed too but it is a side effect of having a foreign object in your mouth.  There are still plenty of products and methods to ease the pain and make the process more enjoyable.

I got just a couple of days ago and I hate them.

I have three dogs

I have a pool in my house.

I am a professional author.

I love green tea.

I am from the countryside.

I am a runner. I used to go on long runs on the beach.

I have experience about wearing braces.

[Speaker 1] Hey I want to say thank you for your advice about braces which really helped me.

[Speaker 2] Great! How have you been doing with them?

[Speaker 1] They hurt alot when they first put them on, but since my teeth have been getting straighter everyday!

[Speaker 2] I guess that's a good thing, right? They are meant to straighten teeth! Did you have an orthodontist appointment today?

[Speaker 1] I did, she changed the colors out from blue to green, my favorite, she told me I only need them for 4 more weeks!

[Speaker 2] I love green! I bet they look great. What wonderful news to hear. Do you have to wear a retainer once they take them off?

[Speaker 1] Yes I will have to, after that they will put a small metal bar in the bottom of my mouth, which I hope is painless.

[Speaker 2] Well, it sounds like it won't be as bad as the braces. Did the orthodontist tell you how long you will have to wear the bar?

[Speaker 1] No, I think its permanent, but my teeth will be straight for the rest of my life, which I am so happy about. No more gap in my front teeth.

[Speaker 2] I am glad to hear you are happy about it! It's amazing how a straight smile helps with confidence.

[Speaker 1] I really am happy, I have a job interview in a few weeks and my new smile is going to help so much with my confidence.

[Speaker 2] That's great news! Where is your new job?

[Speaker 2] My husband passed away a few years ago. I have both cats and dogs you?

[Speaker 1] I've a cat. Her name is seven of nine.

I am a college student. I work at a coffee shop.

I like singing show tunes.

I have a cat. I like star trek.

I am an English teacher.

I want to be a writer.

I like writing fiction. I have always enjoyed telling stories to people.

I have two daughters.

I am a widow. I have cats and dogs.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from an interesting college class.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? What was the class?

[Speaker 1] It was a Philosophy class. I usually have busy days coordinating school and work. How is your schedule like?

[Speaker 2] I remember those days. It gets easier. My days are pretty easy. I have three classes a day and then I have office hours that are usually peaceful.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome. You must enjoy interacting with students. They are a vibrant and energetic lot I think.

[Speaker 2] They are lol.  Having had time to do any singing with your busy schedule?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I am looking forward to hitting the studio over the weekend. What music do you like?

[Speaker 2] I like the general music anything on the top 40s station. I use to be big into music, playing instruments side, but I haven't much in past years.

[Speaker 1] Well, you did good to even venture into instruments. I am currently learning piano, engaging and fun.

[Speaker 2] Piano has always been my main instrument.

[Speaker 1] Wow. Are you a fan of the Classicals? I suppose you have played Fur Elise to someone already.

[Speaker 2] I grew a love for classicals. My piano teacher loved to incorporate classicals where she could. My favorite were the sight book that was individual, fun daily lines taken from classicals.

I like singing show tunes. I sing at a studio. I am learning piano.

I have a cat. I like star trek.

I attend a philosophy class.

I am an English teacher. I used to work and attend college.

I want to be a writer.

I have two daughters.

I am a widow. I have cats and dogs.

I like top 40s music. I used to be more into music years ago and played instruments.

I mainly play piano. I love classical music.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard any good new songs on the radio lately?

[Speaker 2] Actually yes - I just heard a really catchy tune, but I didn't catch the name of it. That is the trouble with top 40 music, it changes so quickly! I'll have to keep listening to try to hear it again.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see, I'm sure by the time it comes on a gain, you will get it. I see you play piano, I'm still learning and can't wait to be good at it  , any suggestion on how to get it right quickly, I'm struggling a bit

[Speaker 2] Have you looked into taking any lessons?

[Speaker 1] No really, I have been doing this online training because of my busy schedule, maybe I will give it a try ad see how that works out. So what class of school children do you teach ?

[Speaker 2] Online training might work! Any kind of lesson is probably better than no lesson, since at least it keeps you accountable to continuing to train and gives you some guidance. Do you find that the lessons are able to answer your questions? It may just be that you need to continue to allow yourself additional practice time. Instruments take time to learn.

[Speaker 1] Yes you are right, my biggest problem is finding time to practice enough, I'm sure if I devote more time into practice, I will be good at it. I just have to find a way to adjust my schedule so as to allow me to practice more.

[Speaker 2] Give yourself some grace. Learning any new skill is tough. I'm sure you're making more progress than you realize. You'll get there! Is there a specific reason you're interested in learning the piano?

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much , hearing this from you is very encouraging, I guess I just have to be patient hopefully I will get there soon. I have always been interested in playing piano that's it , my love for the is instrument is my driving force

[Speaker 2] That is great! That is the best motivation you can get. I think if you had something external pushing you you'd be more inclined to give up after a short period of time but the fact that you want to do it just for you makes me think you'll keep at it til you get it.

[Speaker 1] Oh how sweet, thank you. I will not give up , in fact I'm now motivated to master it now than ever, you make me feel like I'm there already

[Speaker 2] Great! Just remember that practice makes perfect and eventually you'll get there.


My newest career has taught me to be social.

I am a very open and truthful person who takes things as they're.

[Speaker 2] I am ok I guess. Life is rough since my dig died. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear about your dog.

[Speaker 2] I am just trying to find the beauty in the rest of the world, looking into my yard.

[Speaker 1] When my dog died I looked for comfort by reading the bible.

[Speaker 2] That's a popular one. I find inspiration on earth, then make art to reflect it.

[Speaker 1] What kind of art? I love traveling to different museums.

[Speaker 2] Sculpture. I like to use my hands.

[Speaker 1] Now that my wife and I have retired we have more time to travel.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun. Have you been anywhere that stands out?

[Speaker 1] We went to the vatican which was very inspirational.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, there must be a bunch of ancient and beautiful sculpture and other art everywhere!

[Speaker 1] Yes. We also went to milan, florence, genoa, and bologna.

[Speaker 2] All around italy. I'd love to visit italy. I want to see the sistence chapel.

I read the bible.

I love going to museums.

I am retired. I have a wife.

I went to the vatican, Milan, Florence, Genoa, and Bologna.

My dog died.

I make art.

I make sculptures.

[Speaker 1] Have you been working on any neat sculptures?

[Speaker 2] Not lately. My dog died recently so I haven't had the motivation to do anything.

[Speaker 1] That is so sad! Maybe it is time to take that trip to Italy and take your mind off things?

[Speaker 2] Ahh I guess so. I've always wanted to go there, I guess this is the perfect time. How was your trip there?

[Speaker 1] It was so scenic! We ventured out and saw the Vatican which was spectacular. I highly recommend it.

[Speaker 2] That sounds magical, you know I might really make up my mind and just go. I've been putting it off for a long time now. Where else would you recommend I visit?

[Speaker 1] Milan and Florence are spectacular at all times of the year which makes it the perfect place to visit.  There is so much art there you are bound to be inspired again.

[Speaker 2] I already know I'm gonna fall in love with the art lol. That's why I wanted to go in the first place. Well the art, and I want to visit museums too.

[Speaker 1] In the meantime you can look at all the awesome videos online of those cities and plan which route will work best for your needs.

[Speaker 2] That's true I'll get on it right now before I change my mind. I just wish my doggy could've went with me. Do you have a dog?

[Speaker 1] Not any more.  It also died.  That's actually the whole reason I went on that long trip.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow well we have that in common. From what I gathered I guess the trip did you good. I'm hoping it will be a stress reliever for me as well.

I read the bible.

I love going to museums.

I am retired. I have a wife.

I went to the Vatican, Milan, Florence, Genoa, and Bologna. I like the Vatican.

My dog died.

I love art and museums.

[Speaker 1] I found an art exhibit that will be featured in the local art museum.

[Speaker 2] Wow, how exciting! Tell me more about that! I wonder if some of my art can be featured there, I've been doing so many sculptor's lately but don't know what to do with them!

[Speaker 1] You should go with me to check it out! And you could talk to the curator about your stuff. I'm sure he could either use some of your stuff in the exhibit or point you to in the right direction to talk to someone else who could.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I'll go with you! That might be the perfect opportunity to get started out! Thanks for including me! How did you like the Vatican and all them places you went to , I forgot to ask you.

[Speaker 1] Oh it was amazing! It was a dream vacation for my wife and I. It was all so beautiful. You would've loved it. I especially thought of you at the Cistine chapel

[Speaker 2] Well, thanks for thinking of me, ha, maybe one day I'll get to go there!  You are so lucky you are retired!

[Speaker 1] Retirement certainly has its benefits. But honestly, when I'm not traveling, I really miss working. Don't take it for granted.

[Speaker 2] Oh ok, I guess sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side, I'll try and remember that. You must be having a hard time with getting over your dog too, I know I am, it's strange both our dogs passed within a few weeks of each other.

[Speaker 1] I try not to think about it. It just breaks my heart. My wife took it a lot harder than I did. It was actually her dog. That's part of the reason we went on this trip. I wanted to get her out of the house and get her mind off everything. How are you holding up?

[Speaker 2] That is a good idea what you did, it always helps to do something fun like that in order to get your mind off of things. I am doing okay. I've just been concentrating on my art more these days to keep my mind free. It helps a lot.

[Speaker 1] Losing a dog is tough. It's like losing a family member. So many people don't understand that. Have you ever done a sculpture of your dog? I was going to ask if you could do one of our dog. My wife would love that so much.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is a great idea! I'm going to do one of both our dogs! I think that would provide comfort for us all.

I read the bible.

I love going to museums.

I am retired. I have a wife.

I like art.

My dog died recently. I want a sculpture of their dead dog.

My dog died recently.

I make art. I am a sculptor.

I want to visit Italy. I want to see the Cistine chapel. I love art and museums.

I am gonna  do a sculpture of both speakers dogs.

[Speaker 1] I am excited to check out the museum with you

[Speaker 2] I know. I'm counting down the days. So exciting!

[Speaker 1] I'm just always lost in museums - everything looks a little same-y to me. I know that's a terrible thing to say, but I'm hoping to learn from looking at different pieces with you!

[Speaker 2] Really? I thought you would have more of an appreciation for it as a fellow artist. Although I suppose sculptures and paintings can be very different.

[Speaker 1] I like art, but I've never formally studied it, so my knowledge is a bit basic. Anyway, have you been giving more thought to the design of our dogs' sculpture?

[Speaker 2] I have. I think the best way to do it would be to do both from the neck up. I was thinking they could both be looking in the same direction. With tongues wagging, of course! What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I think that sounds lovely. They were both such good dogs. I miss our doggie play dates!

[Speaker 2] I suppose we'll just have to find new dogs soon and make sure they become friends. It's just so difficult to move on once they pass.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. I've been discussing that with my wife, whether we should get another dog. If I tell her that you're up for it too, she might be convinced!

[Speaker 2] What breed are you thinking about?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking boston terrier. You?

[Speaker 2] I'm partial to the Jack Russells. That would be a great pair, wouldn't it? I'm already looking forward to the afternoons in the dog park!


I like to watch ma.

I used to work for monsanto.

I enjoy shopping online.

I prefer staying in as opposed to going to the store.

I am a mom.

I enjoy books.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you today

[Speaker 2] I am good. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm good, just doing some weight lifting this morning

[Speaker 2] Cool. My kids got me up early wanting breakfast.

[Speaker 1] Ahahah my daughter just turned one, so I made her some eggs this morning.

[Speaker 2] Yum! We are planning to go swimming and do some online shopping today. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing training because I'm becoming a policeman soon.

[Speaker 2] Wow! Sounds great! I stay home with my kids, but I worked for monsanto before.

[Speaker 1] Oh cool, that's always great to be with your kids,

[Speaker 2] Yes, I enjoy it. I also like to read. What else do you do?

[Speaker 1] I watch a ton of mma

[Speaker 2] I see. I like fiction books. Mostly fantasy.

[Speaker 1] Do you like collecting knives

[Speaker 2] No, not really. I would be afraid my kids would get them when I wasn't looking.

I like to lift weights.
I have a daughter, she is 1 year old.
I am becoming a policeman.
I watch MMA.

I have children.

I like to swim.

I used to work for monsanto.

[Speaker 1] Can you recommend a good fiction book for children?

[Speaker 2] Right now my kids really love Little Blue Truck, it's a really fun book if you haven't read it to your daughter yet you should I bet should would like it.  How is school going?  How much longer do you have left until you can become a policeman?

[Speaker 1] We haven't read that one, but she loves trucks. Not a girly girl! I'll have to check it out. Nearly there - hoping to get my training wrapped up in the next six months.

[Speaker 2] That is so cool to have a girl that loves trucks! Yes you'll have to let me know how she likes it!  That's not too much longer, that's super exciting.  I'm sure you'll be busy this last 6 months with the last of training.  Do you have any good weight lifting plans you could send me?  I've been thinking I should start working out again.

[Speaker 1] Will do. Yes, she has a bunch of toy monster trucks and loves them. I'm thinking of taking her to a monster truck rally when she is a little older. I'd be happy to give you some recommendations on lifting. How long has it been since you worked out? You don't want to do too much too quickly and injure yourself.

[Speaker 2] I took my oldest boy to a monster truck show when he was younger and he loved it.  It's an awesome experience I highly recommend it, but I'd probably wait until she's at least 3 for her to get the most out of it.  Thank you. I used to work out all the time but since I've had my last kid a year and a half ago all I've really done is some light cardio and yoga.

[Speaker 1] I'd probably start small with your body weight, maybe some bands or hand weights. I'll send you a website that has great, free workouts that start easy and scale up to more intense. Swimming is also a great low-impact way to get back in shape. Have you been able to do much of that?

[Speaker 2] That would be great! Thank you so much!  Yes I usually try to swim at least twice a week.  I enjoy swimming so much I barely think of it as exercise, but not that you say that I should try to start going more to get back in shape too.

[Speaker 1] It's so good for you and puts very little pressure on your joints. I miss having time to swim. All I want to do in my free time is hang out with my daughter or watch MMA. But maybe I should read a book like you. Do you have any recommendations for something good you've read lately?

[Speaker 2] I didn't know you used to swim.  Well maybe once your daughter gets a little older you can take her swimming with you and teach her.  Reading is so relaxing and a nice getaway from the kids for me.  I just finished The Glass Hotel, it is a good mystery novel.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'll have to check it out. I love mysteries and thrillers. My daughter's mom takes her to a Mommy and Me swimming class, I've gone a couple of times when I'm not in school. It's so cute.

[Speaker 2] You'll have to let me know what you think of it if you get a chance to read it.  Aww that is so cute.  I used to do that with the kids when they were little too and now they love swimming with me when they aren't at school.

I like to lift weights.

I have a 1-year-old daughter.

I am becoming a policeman. I am almost finished with my policeman training.

My daughter loves monster trucks.

I enjoy watching MMA.

I like to swim.

I used to work for monsanto.

I LOVE to read. I like to read fiction books and fantasy books.

I like to work out.

I have a son and my last kid a year and a half ago.

[Speaker 1] Have you started working out yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, actually a few days ago I slipped on ice and broke my ankle! So no working out for a while :(

[Speaker 1] Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. I guess that means no swimming for a while either?

[Speaker 2] Pretty much. It's going to be couch time for the next few weeks. But that's ok, it's time to relax after working so much.

[Speaker 1] The time off will be nice. It'll give you more time to relax and catch up on your reading! Read anything good lately?

[Speaker 2] Not lately, although my son bought me a bunch of Stephen King books for my birthday that I'm looking forward to.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Now that I'm almost done with my training, I'll finally have some time to start reading again. Any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] WEll if you're looking for a good book to relax with, "Your Cabin In The Woods" is a great one about getting back to nature and enjoying the simpler life

[Speaker 1] I think I'd prefer something a little more intriguing - either mystery or something scary. Lemme know if you can think of anything particular you think I should start with

[Speaker 2] No problem! Maybe you can help me out with some ankle exercises to build up my strength when the time comes too!

[Speaker 1] I'd love to help but I really only know about lifting. Physical therapy is a whole different realm. But I have a buddy that lifts with me and he's actually a therapist! I'll send you his info if you'd like

[Speaker 2] That'd be awesome, thank you! I don't want to be down too long, I have too much to do

[Speaker 2] Google doesn't give me much time to dance

[Speaker 1] I wish I'm busy as you are

[Speaker 2] Become a software engineer like me, it will keep you busy

[Speaker 1] But I'll lose my attention to my 3 cats

[Speaker 2] I had cats but they kept getting into my salt water tank

[Speaker 1] I even colored my hair blonde

[Speaker 2] I try to grow my own lobsters which are yummy

[Speaker 1] This is to match with my cats

[Speaker 1] You must be super fit, I have been trying on outfits, looking fabulous.

[Speaker 2] Yes! My car stopped working last week but I don't care. I just run.

[Speaker 1] Ug, I hate that. How you look is more important than a car anyway.

[Speaker 2] I play rugby a lot too.

[Speaker 1] Nice, that's with horses right?

[Speaker 2] It is! My neighbor comes over on the weekends to watch when we cannot play.

[Speaker 1] That sounds awesome, do you love it when people watch you play?

[Speaker 2] Yes because I'm so fit, it makes me feel confident.

[Speaker 1] I understand, if you put in the work, why not enjoy the rewards

[Speaker 2] Exactly! What else do you do?

[Speaker 1] Not much, work out, shop, design a bit here and there.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am so excited! Maybe you could come over next week and I could share some ideas with you. Maybe even start a piece together.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be great!! I'm not sure if I used a good technique and would like to branch out into other pieces as well, do you think it will be difficult to try other pieces?

[Speaker 2] No not at all. With your sense of style and my experience we could design some great pieces. Maybe you could model a few :)

[Speaker 1] I think it will go well too! I would love to model some of your pieces for you! Honestly anything you need, we can get started next week on both.

[Speaker 2] Sounds fantastic! I will get some items out for you to chose from. We will have to meet up later in the week, my car should be fixed by then.

[Speaker 1] Okay, that works for me! If your car isn't fixed yet, I can come to you if that's easier - especially with you having all the supplies! :)

[Speaker 2] Haha yes that would probably be the best idea. I just feel bad because you do most of the travelling in this friendship.

[Speaker 1] Oh please! It's no trouble at all, you're the one helping me explore a whole new hobby and you got me into working out again - which is how I now have a modeling career! You do much more of the heavy lifting here, seriously!!

[Speaker 2] You're too kind :) but thanks. I am about to go for a run, so I may cut you off soon  Big rugby game tomorrow and I want to be warmed up by then.

[Speaker 1] No worries, I have a shoot I need to get on the road for! Hope you have a good workout and an even better game tomorrow! :)

[Speaker 2] Ahh so exciting!! I can't wait to see them! Do you have any favorites?

[Speaker 1] Yes! My favorite one is the picture of me on the bridge overlooking the water. I love little rivers so much, the scene is therapeutic.

[Speaker 2] It sounds beautiful! I bet you had so much fun at the shoot! We need to collaborate on jewelry shoot soon!

[Speaker 1] I agree, jewelry is one of my favorite things to model with, I bet your jewelry would look great in photos.

[Speaker 2] Are you available later this week? If you could give me a ride, we might be able to work something out!

[Speaker 1] I am available this week! I can absolutely give you a ride to my place if you want? What kind of jewelry would you want to take pictures of?

[Speaker 2] I have a bunch of new necklaces that I just finished the other night. Do you think you could give my neighbor a ride too? I think she would be a great model!

[Speaker 1] Perfect! Of course I can take her too, I love meeting new people!

I m looking for krav maga classes near my home.

I always wear something purple.

My favorite mortal kombat character is mileena.

I work in fast food.

I just bought my first car.

I am eighteen years old.

I'm going to majoring in business.

I received a full scholarship to florida state university.

I like to exercise.

I love my lavender t shirt.

Karate and taekwondo are tough and dangerous sports.

I work at mcdonalds.

I purchased a vehicle.

I am a teen.

I always had excellent grades so I think I will get into a good college.

I'm studying in college.

I'm on a free ride to college.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I just started my new job at burger king today!

[Speaker 2] I love burger king! I just got my first car!

[Speaker 1] Congrats! I love burger king as well! I get to eat it everyday now!!

[Speaker 2] Watch your calories! How old are you? I'm 18

[Speaker 1] I just turned 20 last thursday.

[Speaker 2] Happy late birthday! Are you in college then? I am going to florida state

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I am in college. I want to start krav maga classes too.

[Speaker 2] What are those? I am going to be majoring in business. What is your major?

[Speaker 1] Basically israeli martial arts. My major is education.

[Speaker 2] That is super cool! I was lucky enough to get a full scholarship thankfully!

[Speaker 1] That is great! I hardly get any financial aid.

[Speaker 2] That sucks! Education is so expensive! What grade do you want to teach?

[Speaker 1] I'm looking to teach high school. I find it very interesting.

[Speaker 2] I just graduated from there! With honors because of teachers like you one day!

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I hope I can be that inspirational teacher. That is a real desire of mine.

[Speaker 2] It really is important for teachers to be that way! They are bigger influences than people think!

I'm a college student majored in education. I want to teach high school in the future.

I started working at Burger King. I like burger king.

I am 20.

I m looking for krav maga classes which is israeli martial arts near my home.

I just got my first car. I love burger king.

I am 18. I just graduated high school with honors. I'm going to Florida State university with full scholarship.

I major in business.

[Speaker 1] How do you like your car?

[Speaker 2] I love it! It is nothing fancy but it is so good to have that freedom now and it certainly makes getting to work and school easier.

[Speaker 1] I remember my first car. The feeling of freedom. It's just like having your own personal space. You work so hard in school. You deserve it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah totally. That's my present to myself for graduating. When I graduate university I'll hopefully be able to afford something better. What was your first car?

[Speaker 1] It was a Honda Civic, pretty basic, but I thought it was the hottest thing at the time. Lol. I hope I can afford a new car as well. Sometimes it's kind of hard with just my job at Burger King.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you will definitely need something reliable when you are a teacher. What would be your dream car?

[Speaker 1] My dream car is a Land Rover. It has tons of room for my krav maga friends. What about you?

[Speaker 2] That would be good. If money was no issue I would totally go for something classic - a Charger maybe. Have you found a Krav Maga class yet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, a small group of only about six. It's fun learning techniques from other people. You should try it sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Is it hard to learn? I imagine you need to have really good balance and be very fit in general?

[Speaker 1] It's not too difficult. But it's a great workout so you have to have a little stamina. It's very rewarding though. What kinds of things do you like to do in your spare time?

[Speaker 2] I'm just making the most of my free time before I start University to be honest. I'm sure business school will take up all my time so it's nice to just relax before that starts.

I am 20.

I am in a krav maga class which is israeli martial arts near my home. The class is of a group of 6.

My first car was a Honda Civic.

I am 18. I just graduated high school with honors. I'm going to Florida State university with full scholarship to study business.

I work. I have not yet started business school yet.

[Speaker 1] I quit my Krav Maga class.

[Speaker 2] Why? I thought you loved it?

[Speaker 1] Classes were getting too expensive, the Burger King salary wasn't making me enough to keep it up sadly. I will miss it so much!

[Speaker 2] I'm surprised you even had time to do that while taking classes! I barely have time to do anything between classes and work. How are your classes going?

[Speaker 1] That was a factor too! It was taking a lot out of me. Classes are going well, I haven't started any of my education classes yet, just getting my pre reqs out of the way. Are you excited to start your classes soon?

[Speaker 2] I'm definitely excited but I hear it super demanding once you actually start the business school classes. I won't have time for much else. I guess it'll just be a lot of late nights and a lot of burger kind dinners! Have you decided what exactly you want to teach?

[Speaker 1] I can definitely hook you up with a BK discount if you come to my window!! Just let me know beforehand. And I can't decide between freshmen or seniors. Freshmen could be cool because they're more eager to learn. Seniors could be cool because they're about to go off to college. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I have no idea. A lot of my family members are teachers and they each love what they do ... some elementary ed, some high school. I think it really just depends on the kids but I would be worried that freshmen would be immature ... but seniors might just stop caring bc they're so close to being done. I dunno, tough decision. Have you thought about what subject you want to teach? I would think that would come first

[Speaker 1] Yeah you're right I guess it all depends. I was thinking about algebra. I loved my math teacher in HS, but I don't know I'm open to anything. How about you, do you know what you want to do after you finish business school?

[Speaker 2] No idea! I'm actually thinking of taking some time off to travel or something. I'm no sure. We'll see. What's you decide about your car? You had mentioned it was giving you trouble?

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. Any idea where to? and OMG i forgot to tell you. The transmission blew! It would've cost me way more to fix than the car is worth anymore. So i'm on the market for a used car.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, so sorry to hear that. Are you looking for another civic, or anything?


I'm ten years old.

I have a lot of friends.

I love dogs and cats.

My dad works at the mill and my mom is a teacher.

I live in a house.

I am pursuing my law degree.

I'm the youngest of 3.

I have an older brother and an older sister.

I like to read dan brown books.

I'm pretty good with a racquet.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I have tons of friends. Will you be my friend?

[Speaker 2] I don't believe in committing that quickly, but I'd like to get to know you

[Speaker 1] Okay. Do you have pets? I love dogs and kitties. I'm nine.

[Speaker 2] I do love kittens. When I was your age I had a black and white kitten

[Speaker 1] Aw really? My parents wo not let me have one, but I am always lonely.

[Speaker 2] Are you parents in the room with you?

[Speaker 1] No. My dad is at the mill, and my mom is tutoring. She's a teacher.

[Speaker 2] Is there a grown up with you? I'd like to meet them too!

[Speaker 1] No I'm alone. My house is big. So I'm safe.

[Speaker 2] I bet your mum would love to see how we get to talk to each other

[Speaker 1] Nope. She is too busy. My dad is too. All my friends are online.

[Speaker 2] Tell me more about your friends

[Speaker 1] They're all over the world. But they all talk to me.

[Speaker 2] I would love to meet them! Can you tell me how make friends like you?

[Speaker 1] Just be nice, and friendly. Oh and know when to listen.

My dad works at the mill. My mom is a teacher.

I have a big house.

My parents don't spend much time with me. I am lonely. I am online a lot.

I have friends from all over the world.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about getting a new kitty? It would be a good new friend and it's always good to have more friends!

[Speaker 2] Sure, but dad says that cat food is not that cheap. Do you think I can ask for a hamster?

[Speaker 1] I guess you could ask for a hamster but you will still need to feed it. How much does hamster food cost?

[Speaker 2] I guess less than a cat food. Hamsters are so small! How about you? Have you asked your parents for a new pet yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I guess! I haven't asked because I am scared that they will say no. I would really love a new pet though! Hamsters are just the cutest! Which type would you get?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to have a ginger one with some white spots! I hope there will be one in the store.. And do your parents like animals? Maybe they would agree? :)

[Speaker 1] A ginger one would be really cool! Maybe you should be less specific though or you could be disappointed! My parents do like animals but the house is already so full. How many are in your house?

[Speaker 2] None at mine to be honest. You mentioned you don't have any pets.. Do you mean your house is full of your brothers and sisters? How many of you are there?

I am 9 years old.

I have a big house. My house is full.

I have friends from all over the world.

I love animals. I do not have any pets. I have not asked my parents for a pet.

I love cats. I used to have a black and white cat. I do not have any pets.

I do not have a ginger cat with white spots.

[Speaker 1] I asked my parents if we could get a pet, and they said no to a cat but yes to a hamster!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is great. I am glad you will be able to get a hamster. You're going to learn a lot about responsibility - and also fun!

[Speaker 1] yes I love animals , I just like a cat more, Hamster is very small

[Speaker 2] Size doesn't have anything to do with quality of a pet. Hamsters are great to play with. You can teach them tricks and take care of them, just like a cat. I'm sure once you get a hamster you'll love it. Do you have an idea of what you'll name your hamster?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, you make it sound so much for to get, I think I will it a try. Maybe I will name it Oreo, do you think that's okay for that kind of animal ?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure your parents will help you - but they'll also love for you to help out. Maybe you can think of some things you can do to help yourself remember, like a chart. I think any name you love is the perfect name for your pet.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, I will take your advise. So why did you get rid of you pets ?

[Speaker 2] I just don't have any pets right now, but I would never "get rid of" a pet. All pets leave our homes at some point - but I will remember my former cat forever.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see, sorry for my choice of words, I hope you find another pet that you will bond like you did with your former cat. I love cats a lot and can't wait to have one some day

[Speaker 2] Oh no problem - it wasn't a bad choice of words, it just isn't always up to us when these things happen. I hope that you will love your hamster just as much as you love cats - I think that you will! And maybe once your parents see how responsible you are with a hamster, they'll think you are ready for a cat.

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much for your understanding and advise. I will definitely do my best to take care of the hamster and like you said maybe my parents will reward me with the cat something I can't wait for it to happen. Its been nice chatting with you

[Speaker 2] You too - best of luck with your hamster!

[Speaker 1] I will dig into it. You ever excercise

[Speaker 2] Sometimes but my marketing job keeps me busy


I take vitamin c when I've a cold.
My friend once bought me a car.
My favorite season is winter.
I am disabled and cannot walk.

I live with my parents and my little brother.

I am in 3rd grade.

I am a french girl, but I moved to the us last year.

I like to play soccer, draw and read asterix.

I don t have too many friends in the us yet, but I am going to summer camp and I hope to make friends then! I also think that I may make friends as soccer in the fall.

Health is important to me.

A new vehicle was the best gift any of buddies have ever gotten me.

I like cold weather.

I use a wheelchair.

I am staying at home with my family until I graduate.

I'm only eight years old.

I used to live out of the country.

I've a variety of interests.

I just moved here and want to meet new people.

[Speaker 1] Hello, what is your favorite season of the year?

[Speaker 2] Autumn, that is normally when I get to play soccer. Whats yours?

[Speaker 1] Winter. I wish I was able to play sports but I'm unable to walk.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that. How do you make friends?

[Speaker 1] I have one dear friend that once bought me a car due to being wheelchair bound.

[Speaker 2] I see. Well that sounds like a good friend. I hope to make more soon

[Speaker 1] I get colds easy so I take a lot of vitamin c. How about you?

[Speaker 2] No so much. However, I just moved to the united states last year so.

[Speaker 1] Do you have a vehicle?

[Speaker 2] I am not old enough to drive yet. I am just 9 years old

[Speaker 1] Oh I see. So do you like it here in the united states?

[Speaker 2] So far so good. But I've not made lots of friends yet.

[Speaker 1] I am sure with time you will have lots of friends! You seem very sweet!

[Speaker 2] Awe, thanks. Yeah, summer camp should change that soo.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I sure do remember those days and how much fun we all had!!

[Speaker 2] That is cool. Besides doing sports, I like to view asterix, french comics

I have one friend.

I get cold easily.

I like the autumn season
I moved to the United Sates last year.
I am 9 years old.
I like to view asterix.

[Speaker 1] Why did you move to the United States?

[Speaker 2] It wasn't my choice. My dad got offered a job at an American university, and he said it was too good to pass up.

[Speaker 1] Well hopefully you're making the best of it. I'm sure there are some nice things to do in the area you live.

[Speaker 2] I've made a couple of new friends at school, but I do really miss my old ones. At least where I live now, I get to experience all four seasons.

[Speaker 1] Least you have the internet to keep in touch with your old pals. I use the net more than the phone to talk to my friend.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it is easier over the internet, especially with the time difference with my friends and me. What do you and your friend like to talk about?

[Speaker 1] Oh anything and everything. Mostly just joke around and poke fun at each other. You think your new friends would like your old ones?

[Speaker 2] There are a lot of cultural differences that I notice, but both groups are good people at heart, so I think they would mostly get along.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should try introducing each other sometime if you think they'd get along.

[Speaker 2] Maybe once I get to know my new ones well enough to bring to my house. I've only known them a few months so far, but I can see that being a really good idea in the future!

[Speaker 1] I've only got one friend myself. It'd be nice if he'd help introduce me to a few more people since I can't get around much.

[Speaker 2] I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I'd like to think that you and I are friends. :)  Maybe you should tell your other friend you'd like to meet a few people. I bet he'd be glad to help.

I like winter season. I am unable to walk. I am wheelchair bound. I have trouble getting around.

I get cold easily.

I have only one friend. I talk to my friend on the internet.

I like to joke around with my friends.

I like the autumn season.

I moved to the United Sates last year since my dad got a job  at an American university.

I am 9 years old.

I like to view asterix.

I live where there are four seasons. I think my old and new friends would get along.

[Speaker 1] Have you had a chance to hang out with your new friends recently?

[Speaker 2] Only at school. Dad has been so busy with his new job that he doesn't have much time to take me to hang out with them. How is your friend doing?

[Speaker 1] She's doing great! She's actually introduced me to her group of friends so I'm not as socially isolated now

[Speaker 2] Oh that's no nice. If it's ok to ask ... do you have trouble making new friends since you're in a wheelchair? Like do people treat you weird?

[Speaker 1] Not at all. People have always been polite with me, you get rude ones on occasion but you get that when you can walk anyhow. What country did you come from?

[Speaker 2] It's nice that people aren't mean to you. It's definitely not like that in Ecuador. That's where I'm from. And people in wheelchairs are made fun of alot. Kids at my school were pretty mean to them. Were you always in a wheelchair?

[Speaker 1] Not always, I was in a plane crash when I was 18 and I was paralyzed :(

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm so sorry. How did the plane crash happen? And how did you deal with everything?

[Speaker 1] Oh my dad was a pilot and we were on a night flight, weather got rough and we went off into some trees. Totally accidental but it was rough on him too since he blamed himself for my injury. I took it in stride, did the best I could

[Speaker 2] Was it just you and your dad? And your dad was ok? Omg that must've been so hard on him. Sorry for all the questions.

[Speaker 1] No problem at all, he had no injuries, my sister had a broken arm since she was riding too but she healed up quickly

[Speaker 2] Was your mom with you too?


My favorite car is the ford mustang.

I worked 3 jobs at the same time for more than 5 years.

My daily goal is to take 15, 000 steps.

I like harrison.
I love collecting actual discs.
Guitar is my passion.
I like to go antique shopping.

[Speaker 1] The damn dogs wo not stop barking!

[Speaker 2] I love dogs! Just turn some music on.

[Speaker 1] I'll leave the radio on while I go walk. Up to 2 miles a day so far!

[Speaker 2] Good for you! The beetles always gets me through a workout.

[Speaker 1] So glad I got my new job. Gives me more time to exercise.

[Speaker 2] Where do you work? I give bass lessons. Do you play?

[Speaker 1] New job is at programming firm. No, I play drums, but thanks anyway.

[Speaker 2] We could start a band! Congrats on the new job.

[Speaker 1] Thanks. Sure beats those 3 jobs I had. Glad that is over.

[Speaker 2] I need an extra job to support my vintage furniture addiction.

[Speaker 1] Wanna watch my dogs while I walk?

[Speaker 2] I'd love that! They can alphabetize my cd collection with me

[Speaker 1] What kinda music you into? I love metallica!

[Speaker 2] The beetles is my favorite band, I have all of their cds.

My new job is at a programming firm. I play the drums.

I had 3 past jobs.

I love Metallica.

I love dogs.

I workout to the Beetles.

I give bass lessons.

I like owning vintage furniture.

I have a cd collection.

[Speaker 1] I just bought a Metallica album and have decided to start a CD collection for them. I think that its a great idea to own physical copies of your favorite band's music.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I always feel a sense of pride when I look at my Beetles collection. Which album of theirs is your favorite?

[Speaker 1] My favorite Metallica album is Kill 'Em All. It was what really got me into heavy metal. (Much to my parents' disappointment.) What's your favorite Beetles album?

[Speaker 2] That's great.  I like Metallica as well. To be honest, it's my parents who fostered my love of The Beetles.  My favorite album would be Yellow Submarine. It was one of the first ones I bought for my collection. Is Metallica what got you started on playing the drums as well?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. It was very easy to get into the up-tempo music, and drumming let me get my aggression out in a productive and fun way. What sort of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] Music is so therapeutic for sure. I have a Border Collie. He is the best dog I've ever had and he loves that I work from home giving lessons now.  By the way, how's the new job going?

[Speaker 1] I love Border Collies - they're so smart! I never had one, but a friend of mine did. The new job is..it's okay. It's programming, so it's tedious. The culture of the workplace isn't the best, though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, Border Collies are really clever.  I'm sorry to hear that about the new job. Was really hoping this one would work out  better for you. Do you want to talk about the culture issues that you're having there?

[Speaker 1] It's really just a jerk boss. He's very demanding, and seems to think that overtime builds character, judging by the way that he expects all of us to work 12 hour days.

[Speaker 2] That sucks, man.  Being overworked doesn't build character.  It builds fatigue and resentment. Have you ever considered making music more than a hobby?

[Speaker 1] I have a band on the side, but we mainly just do covers. It's good for regular pay at a couple of the bars, but doesn't pay as more than a hobby.

[Speaker 2] I was just thinking about the old adage "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." I was passionate about music and was a reasonable bass player. A friend of mine told me about the lack of music programs in public schools these days and the needs for children to learn different instruments outside of school was increasing. So we decided to go "School of Rock" on the idea and it's worked out well. Maybe you could look in to that at some point for extra money. It's also really rewarding.

My new job is programmer at a programming firm. My boss is very demanding and expects u to work 12 hours a day. I had 3 past jobs.

I love Metallica.

I have a cd collection.

My favorite Metallica album is Kill 'Em All.

I play the drums. I have a band.

I like owning vintage furniture.

I workout to the Beetles. The Beetles is my favorite band, and I have all of their CDs.

I have a Beetles album collection.

My favorite Beetles Album is Yellow Submarine.

I love dogs. I have a Border Collie dog. I work from home giving bass lessons. I am a musician.

I play the bass instrument.

[Speaker 1] I looked into some information about the music programs for schools in my local area.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Are you looking to fine tune your drumming? Or pick up another instrument?

[Speaker 1] I think I am going to fine tune my drumming, I am not sure about doing another instrument, the slope seems too steep for me.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! But how are you going to find time with your new job an all. Especially since your boss is so demanding

[Speaker 1] I never even thought about that to be honest. I feel like I can take the weekend to practice and when I am with the band I can work even harder on it. I can't afford to lose this job though.

[Speaker 2] Yea I remember you telling me how important this job is for you. Good luck with it all. You're gonna be so busy, I'll barely get a chance to see you anymore

[Speaker 1] Thank you! You are more than welcome to come over on the weekends while I practice drumming. You can even join the band if you would really like, just so we can spend time, we can always use another bassist.

[Speaker 2] Are you sure? That would be amazing!! I've been working on my music a lot lately. Maybe we could try it out this weekend. And I've been meaning to check out your CD collection too!

[Speaker 1] Of course! It would be alot of fun, I would like to hear your music, this weekend works perfect. Do you need a ride?

[Speaker 2] No I'm good but thanks for asking. You mind if I bring my Collie? He loves listing to me play and he really needs to get out of the house more. I promise he won't be any trouble

[Speaker 1] Sorry, I am allergic to dogs, they make my nose really itchy and I sneeze alot when I am around them.

[Speaker 2] I didn't know that. Not a problem. I'm glad you told me! I'll make sure I change my clothes right before I leave the house to make sure I don't have any dog hair on me. Do you have any pets?


I ve been a vegan since I was 5.
I love to sleep in.
I believe in love at first sight.
I have two brothers.
I work in a lab.

I don t get along with my family.

I enjoy classical music.

Regular life disappoints me.

I wish that I could be an animal.

I wonder about what life in space would be like.

When I was a child I began avoiding meat.

I enjoy naps here and there.

I'm happy.

My siblings are male.

I broke three beakers today.

I am an outcast.
I love to listen to beethoven.
I am not a fan of my daily routine.
I want to live closer to nature.
I wish I was an astronaut.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are doing tonight I'm fine and you?

[Speaker 2] I could be better glad you are fine, my family does not see about me much

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sorry I'm employed in a lab.

[Speaker 2] Nice job daily life disappoints me a lot I'd prefer to be a cat

[Speaker 1] Me two I've to ugly brothers but I love them.

[Speaker 2] Love is great I would like to live in space or I think about it do you?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do sometimes I would like to sleep in there.

[Speaker 2] That is nice I love the old fashioned classical music do you know it?

[Speaker 1] I know some of it I am a vegan growing up from 5 years old.

[Speaker 2] I bet it is more healthy than my diet

[Speaker 1] I'm a believer in people falling in love. Ant first sight.

[Speaker 2] Wow me to it even happened to me one time and I still love her.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's so sweet I still love my ex too.

[Speaker 2] That's good to love ones you even lost

I work in a lab.
I have two brothers.
I am a vegan.
I have an ex.

My family doesn't see me.

My daily life is disappointing.

I love classical music.

I have a bad diet.

I believe in love at first sight.

[Speaker 1] I went to the lab and saw someone. I think I'm in love.

[Speaker 2] Did you get that connection? What makes you think that you're in love. I hope it's love at first sight.

[Speaker 1] I saw the most beautiful person I have ever saw in my life. Have you ever had that where you literally fall in love right away?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, absolutely. I believe you can get a special connection with someone to moment you see them. Did they respond to you?

[Speaker 1] We looked at each other and smiled. It was the most magical moment! Do you think this could be fate? What should I do now?

[Speaker 2] I believe when two people are meant to be together, nothing can stop it. Did you get chance to speak to them? If not, go for it!

[Speaker 1] That is such a great way of looking at life! I did not speak because I was so nervous. I think I am going try and  pluck up the courage though. What do you think I should say? Are you usually quite up front or quite nervous?

[Speaker 2] I think that you should just be friendly. If the connection is there you'll be able to tell. I'm not a very confident person. I think my poor diet lowers my self esteem so I find it hard to talk to people socially.

[Speaker 1] I will try that and see how I get along with it. I know what you mean about finding it hard to talk to people socially! Are you going to do anything to try to improve your diet? It may have a positive impact in your life!

[Speaker 2] That's good advice. But I just don't know where to start? I've even considered a vegan diet, do you think that would help?

[Speaker 1] I think a vegan diet is not always the best thing because you can live on fries and still be vegan. Have you tried to balance things out with vegetables?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I would love to enjoy eating vegetables, but I just don't know how to make them tasty. Any advice? I think I've just got out of the habit.

I have two brothers.

I have an ex. I work in a lab. I just fell in love with someone from the lab. My crush is most beautiful I've seen. I haven't talked to my crush yet.

I also find it hard to talk to people socially.

I am a vegan. I do not believe that a vegan diet is the best thing.

My family doesn't see me.

My daily life is disappointing.

I love classical music.

I believe in love at first sight and two people are meant to be together.

I am not a confident person because my poor diet lowers my self esteem.

I have considered a vegan diet.

I do not know how to make vegetables taste tasty.

[Speaker 1] Did you research any other diet alternatives?

[Speaker 2] I was considering trying a vegan diet but you totally made me rethink that. I've been looking into the keto diet. Have you heard about it?

[Speaker 1] I used to do Keto before I was vegan. I loved it but gained a lot of weight once I got off of it.

[Speaker 2] I'll look into it a little more ... So, tell me - have you asked out your ctush yet?

[Speaker 1] I haven't. I always say today is the day and then I just get too nervous you know? Do you think I should send a note or something?

[Speaker 2] No, you should definitely ask her in person. Actually, just talk to her first ... have a few casual conversations and then let things progress naturally. Maybe ask her out to lunch first instead of a proper date. It's all so exciting!

[Speaker 1] You're right. I just need to work up the courage and ask her. Man this is so hard. I met my ex on a dating app so it was much easier than this in person stuff! Have you ever used a dating app?

[Speaker 2] I've tried it a couple times and it's ok when I start talking to people online but when it gets to the point of meeting in person, it terrifies me and I usually bail.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I hear ya. My ex forced me to meet up with her but I was so scared. You never know if someone's a serial killer or something! Have you dated anyone in the past?

[Speaker 2] Ha! I wish I had the confidence to date. I can't even get myself to meet up with a girl ... Maybe once I start dieting and get my weight under control

[Speaker 1] I think it's good that you want to be healthier, but we need to work on your self esteem as you are!! You can easily find someone now, you gotta be nicer to yourself!

[Speaker 2] I'll work on it. And speaking of being healthier ... I'm trying to eat more vegetable but they all taste so bland. Do you have any good recipes you could share with me?

[Speaker 1] I watch tv while watchin out for mosquitos

[Speaker 2] You must have super sonic vision if you can watch tv and mosquitoes at the same time.

[Speaker 1] Pizza will solve every problem in life, you understand?

[Speaker 2] Yes and mosquitoes will give you zika and you will turn into a mermaid too.

[Speaker 1] I saw what you will be in the future, non existent!

[Speaker 2] After a 12 pack of beer you will believe mermaids are real like I do.

[Speaker 1] Peanut butter goes well with bread and crackers

[Speaker 2] Yes peanut butter, crackers, baseball, apple pis and my best friend, mom.

[Speaker 1] You train wolves to do tricks for the circus I hear

[Speaker 2] Good old ice tea goes well with peanut butter and crackers too. Its my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Dogs do circus tricks too

[Speaker 2] My mermaids can do more tricks. They like ice tea too. Its better than ocean water

[Speaker 1] Mushroom pies are the absolute best you can eat

I have a car.
I love pizza.

I have 4 sisters.
I believe mermaids are real.
My mom is my best friend.
I have mermaids that can do tricks.

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about why you believe in mermaids. Do you have proof

[Speaker 2] I always play with them, that's the proof I guess. Why would you not believe in them?

[Speaker 1] I've never seen one in all of my life, and I live near the ocean. Where do your mermaids live?

[Speaker 2] My mermaids live in the lake near my house. They are really pretty and funny. I guess they no longer live in oceans

[Speaker 1] Are you sure these are really mermaids and not just your sisters playing a trick on you somehow?

[Speaker 2] WOW, I never thought that way. I know my sisters like to play pranks all the times. However, I get excited when I see my mermaids

[Speaker 1] Maybe they are real, or maybe your sisters are just trying to make you happy. Either way, enjoy them! How often do you see them?

[Speaker 2] Every weekends. Maybe I should click pictures or videos of them. Would like to watch them?

[Speaker 1] I would LOVE to see some pictures or videos! If they are real, it's really cool that they like you and trust you. They probably don't do that with many humans.

[Speaker 2] I myself am intrigued by their fondness with me. I hope I will have them as friends for life. I think you are right they are not upfront with many humans. Would like to meet with them?

[Speaker 1] If they are okay with it, I think it would be very cool to meet them! What do they eat? I could bring some pizzas, if they eat human food.

[Speaker 2] No, they do not eat pizzas, they prefer healthier options such fruits and vegetables. But I like pizzas. Will you be driving your car to get here?

I have a car.
I love pizza.

I live in a house by a lake where my mermaids live.

I like pizza.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite recipe for pizza?

[Speaker 2] I love pizza with mushrooms and olives and any kind of meat basically. I am still trying to make my own perfect pizza but I haven't gotten the crust down yet. How about you. Do you ever make it yourself?

[Speaker 1] I do! Always thin crust and the deluxe toppings for me. You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure. Will you make it for your sisters?

[Speaker 2] Yes, if I ever get it down right I'll let them be my guinea pigs, ha! And of course my mom and all my mermaids! My mermaids love pizza, I just hope they love mine!

[Speaker 1] Good plan. I imagine you get a ton of exercise swimming and playing with mermaids in the water?

[Speaker 2] I do! If it weren't for them mermaids I probably would like the water so much! I am always in the lake with them. I taught them a lot of tricks, they are so funny, do you ever see any there where you live?

[Speaker 1] No, on my side of the ocean it's more shark-infested unfortunately. It gets kind of dangerous for the tourists at the beach, so I steer clear. I should vacation in your area sometime to see the mermaids.

[Speaker 2] Oh my, yes, sharks are a little different than mermaids. Come visit anytime, and bring that new car of yours, I can't wait to see it, are you having fun with it?

[Speaker 1] I am! I haven't driven a car with a manual transmission since I was learning as a teenager. I can't believe I've gone so long without it. I would love to drive across the country in it. What are your sisters names?

[Speaker 2] Imagene is the oldest, and then Brittany, Margaret, and Sarah. When you come visit you can meet them, and my mom and all the mermaids, I'll for sure know how to make a good pizza by then so be ready!

[Speaker 1] I'm always ready for pizza. Is the Disney film about mermaids one of your favorites?

[Speaker 2] That IS my favorite, yes! I watch it over and over, and have even watched it with the mermaids. It's a wonderful movie!
