[Speaker 1] After learning I've autism music is my therapy.

[Speaker 2] Oh! I had not heard. When did you get diagnosed?

[Speaker 1] About a year ago, now I understand why I was quiet in school.

[Speaker 2] It makes perfect sense. How did your family react?

[Speaker 1] Shocked and relieved it explained why I was so withdrawn.

[Speaker 2] If it would be easier we could just take one of the cars out. Fewer people. Maybe?

[Speaker 1] Yes that sounds like a good plan what time do we leave?

[Speaker 2] Hello, yes I'd. That would be nice, thank you for the invite.

[Speaker 1] Are you old? I might have met you before.

[Speaker 2] No, I'm only 23. I've a greenhouse with trees older than I'm.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I thought maybe I would have seen you around the nursing home.

[Speaker 2] No, sorry. I would love to volunteer to take care of their gardens and use my compost.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any red flowers?

[Speaker 2] I am a fruit eater, so I have cherries as well as hibiscus.

[Speaker 1] Hmm. My dad never let me eat fruits. He said only criminals did.

[Speaker 2] Do criminals also make their own soap?

[Speaker 1] He never said anything about that. I'm not sure.

[Speaker 2] I promise you, fruits are the best thing to eat.

[Speaker 1] Okay, come feed me some and let me try them.

[Speaker 2] I will bring them when we go water skiing.,

I don't eat fruit.

I am 23 years old.  I have a greenhouse.

I make compost.

[Speaker 1] How did you get interested in gardening?

[Speaker 2] My mom was really into it so I just followed in her footsteps. I love it as a hobby

[Speaker 1] Are your cherries in season now?

[Speaker 2] I am expecting them to start producing within the next couple of months hopefully.

[Speaker 1] That will be a treat for you when they do. I don't eat fruit. I should try some of yours next time I am in town.

[Speaker 2] Yea you should! It's really good for you. Maybe I could show you how to grow some of your own.

[Speaker 1] That might motivate me to eat more fruit. I really should since it is good for you.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan. What do you like to eat then since you don't like fruit?

[Speaker 1] I love pizza and cheeseburgers! And don't forget the fries!

[Speaker 2] Well you can't go wrong with those! Some of my favorites as wel.

[Speaker 1] This is making me hungry. I think I will have some salty fries for lunch.

[Speaker 2] Let's pick a day next week and go get some lunch! How does that sound

I don't eat fruit. I know that not eating fruit is a dumb idea, but I still don't eat it. I like fast food in general.

I am 23 years old.  I have a greenhouse.I make compost. I have cherries and hibiscus. I am a fruit eater. I garden because my mother taught me. I grow cherries.

I enjoy fast food.

[Speaker 1] When I went out for fries, I decided to grab a slice of cherry pie. Couldn't help myself after hearing you talk about cherries so much.

[Speaker 2] Eating fruit inside of a pie is the most palatable way when you aren't a fan! How was it?

[Speaker 1] It was absolutely delectable, you're right that it didn't feel like eating fruit at all!  I might start incorporating pies into my fast food rotation.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea to me. I recommend apple pie as well.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I know apple pie is good but I really only have it on Thanksgiving.  Though maybe I'll have it more frequently.  Have you ever thought about growing other fruits in your greenhouse?

[Speaker 2] I'd definitely like to try growing different kinds of berries, but I need more space. Have you ever grown any plants?

[Speaker 1] Nah I never have, I'm not really much of a nature person.  It's sort of interesting stuff, but I don't see much practical purpose to it.  Why do you like growing plants?

[Speaker 2] I find it relaxing and rewarding. I like knowing I can create something from my own hands. What is a hobby you enjoy?

[Speaker 1] Well I like things that are fun and active.  Water skiing is a hobby of mine.  So is mountain biking.

[Speaker 2] Wow! Very exciting activities. Why do you like water skiing? It's something I've always wanted to try.

[Speaker 1] I like that it challenges your coordination and control, and I enjoy that's always the possibility that you wipe out.  There's a challenge to it that's really fun to take on.  Would you want to try it with me some time?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to! It sounds really fun. I think I'll wipe out a lot though.

[Speaker 2] I cannot walk ; however, I love to be outside during the winter. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. I love jazz music and playing bingo with my husband.

[Speaker 2] How fun! My friend bought me a car, so I can still get around pretty well.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome, some day I've trouble walking, I've metal in my knee

[Speaker 2] How did that happen?

[Speaker 1] I shattered my knee playing tennis

[Speaker 2] I miss playing tennis! I miss eating bread too. I just found out I'm gluten free.

[Speaker 1] My husband and I just got done playing bingo.

[Speaker 2] Hahah, Who won the game?

[Speaker 1] He did! I am terrible at bingo. What are you up to?

[Speaker 2] I mostly spend my days riding with my car or in the balcony as I cannot run or walk. How's your knee doing?

[Speaker 1] It is killing me! Aren't injuries and aches the worst?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they suck. Hope you get through it as soon as possible.

[Speaker 1] You too. What outdoor activites have you been partaking in this winter?

[Speaker 2] I like only to be outside, not do any activity. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I see. That makes sense. I like walking in the winter when It's not too hot. I put on some jazz music and stroll the neighborhood.

[Speaker 2] Who's your favorite jazz musical?

[Speaker 1] I love Miles Davis. His music always puts me ina  good mood.

[Speaker 2] I look forward to hear him, too.

I have a car.

I do not eat bread. I am gluten free. I take vitamins.

[Speaker 1] I was going for a walk and my knee started acting up. The one bad thing about walking in winter, right?

[Speaker 2] Yea that is one notorious thing about winter. Sorry to hear about your kneel. Where were you heading?

[Speaker 1] Nowhere in particular. I like to get out and walk around after my lunch. The feeling of fresh air is something that makes me happy

[Speaker 2] That is very nice. I loved to do that to. I makes me feel very refreshed.

[Speaker 1] But now that I think about it, you never told me what happened to you that you cannot walk.

[Speaker 2] I had an accident last year. It affected my leg.

[Speaker 1] Was it a car accident?

[Speaker 2] Yes it was. Very terrible. I felt much pain. But now i'm better.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine...how was the recovery after the accident? I remember when I injured my knee the recovery was so hard

[Speaker 2] Very had. But i got lots of help and encouragement from friends and family. It really helped a lot.

[Speaker 1] I know what you are talking about. It was the same for me. If I did not have my family I do not think I would have been able to go through it

[Speaker 2] Families and friend are very important to ones existence.

[Speaker 1] What are their names? I only use my bicycle.

[Speaker 2] John, sophie and marcus. They are my pride and joys.

[Speaker 1] Here do you work? I'm in a cannery.

[Speaker 2] I'm a nurse on the morning shift.

[Speaker 1] I like nurses, one fixed my nose a s a boy.

[Speaker 2] Oh, we are the best

[Speaker 1] I was only ten when the accident happened. I love jazz now.

[Speaker 2] I am thinking about having another kid.

[Speaker 1] How can I help with that?

[Speaker 2] Do you think that's crazy? With 3 already?

[Speaker 1] No, kids are the best! Sometimes on my bike rides I see children playing.

[Speaker 2] I think it will be okay. My husband is on the fence.

I am a nurse.

I am married.

[Speaker 1] How are the kids? Did you work this morning?

[Speaker 2] Two of the kids are great thanks, but one has a stomach bug so is in bed. I worked the night shift. How was your job today?

[Speaker 1] Same as usual. Loud and dangerous. I swear, I leave that place with a headache every single day. Still, your job is probably tougher than mine.

[Speaker 2] Nursing is tough sure, but very rewarding. Have you been to the jazz clubs in New Orleans?

[Speaker 1] I have never made it to New Orleans, actually. I think it might be kind of an overwhelming city for me.

[Speaker 2] Why do you think it would be overwhelming?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, crowds? I mean, maybe that's only during Mardi Gras.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I went during thanksgiving break last time and it wasn't too busy.

[Speaker 1] Oh, nice. Did the whole family go, the kids and the hubby?

[Speaker 2] No it was a romantic getaway for me and my husband. My parents looked after the kids.

[Speaker 1] Aw, that's nice. I'm glad you had a good time there. Maybe I should take a trip there someday. I certainly would like to check out the jazz clubs.

[Speaker 2] The clubs are awesome. And so is the southern food! Whereabouts do you live?

I like Miles Davis.
I own a bicycle.
I work in a cannery. I am an adult.
I love jazz.
I have never been to New Orleans.

I drive a vehicle. I have three kids: John, Sophie, and Marcus. I have a husband.

I am a nurse. I worked the night shift.

I have been to New Orleans.

[Speaker 1] I heard that there is an interesting event in New Orleans. Have you heard about it?

[Speaker 2] Do you mean Mardi Gras?  That's the only event I've been to in New Orleans.

[Speaker 1] Mardi Gras is great! But I was actually talking about the jazz festival that's happening next month in the French Quarter.

[Speaker 2] Oooh, yes, I've heard of it but I've never been there for it.  I've only been during Mardi Gras!  Crazy times!  I bet you'd love it though!  Are you planning on going?

[Speaker 1] I'm strongly considering it, I really would like to visit New Orleans and this seems like the perfect opportunity.  It'll be though getting three days in a row off from work though.  But if I can pull it off, is there anything else you'd recommend I do while in New Orleans?

[Speaker 2] I loved the swamp tours when I was there!  Since you like to ride a bike, I bet you could find a city bicycle tour too!  That would be fun!  And make sure to try all the good seafood!

[Speaker 1] Oh a bike tour would be awesome, great idea! I'm not sure I can stomach the seafood though, some of the stuff I've had to smell at the cannery has really turned me away from fish.

[Speaker 2] I'm not a seafood fan either!  But that's what everyone said to me when I went!!  As a nurse, I've seen way too many people come in with food poisoning after eating bad seafood so I get nervous eating it!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I agree that its just all around not good, at least for me.  So, when you visited New Orleans did your kids come with too?

[Speaker 2] Nope, I made that an adults only trip!  I'm glad that I did.  There wasn't much that I think they'd really enjoy there.  There's an aquarium but there didn't seem like much else to keep them busy.  Will it just be you going?

[Speaker 1] Haha, that's what I was hoping you'd say! I've heard there's lots of great adult activities there if you know what I mean.  For that reason I was thinking of making my visit a solo adventure!

[Speaker 2] Do you like to gamble?  There's a great casino down by the water too if you're into that!

I want to find out what it s like to eat grasshoppers.

I only surf when the tide is low.

Twilight is my favorite book series.

I do community theater when I am not in school.

Both of my parents are doctors.

I'm in love with a girl who is unaware of it.

I am in medical school.

I traveled down south by the beach.
I'm a foodie.
I'm safe.
I read a lot of young adult fiction.

I like to act out side of class.

I am close to two people in the medical field.

I have a crush on a young lady who doesn't know I exist.

I am studying to be a doctor.

[Speaker 1] Hi I'm sam and I just moved to florida

[Speaker 2] Hello sam. Is it nice there?

[Speaker 1] Very nice down there. I wonder what it is like to eat a grasshopper.

[Speaker 2] Well, I think it is safe. I'm studying medicine, so perhaps I will soon find out.

[Speaker 1] When the tide is low that is when I will surf.

[Speaker 2] If you wipe out and are injured, my parents can help they're both doctors.

[Speaker 1] Well that is pretty cool and yes I do like the twilight series

[Speaker 2] Oh you do? The girl I love likes twilight. She does not know of my love.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that is pretty cool. I am just working towards on doing better things with my life

[Speaker 2] You should try community theater. That is what I do when not in school.

[Speaker 1] That'sn't my thing to be honest with you

[Speaker 2] You could do stage work if you prefer... Props, lights, etc.

[Speaker 1] Well maybe, we shall see how things pan out.

[Speaker 2] I think you should try a grasshopper now. Be brave!

[Speaker 1] Eat grasshoppers and makes sure it is cooked sounds like a good plan

[Speaker 2] I have seen them in chocolate and in hard candy.

My name is Sam.  I just moved to Florida. I surf.

I want to know what it is like to eat a grasshopper.

I like the Twilight series.

I am a student studying medicine.

My parents are doctors.

I love a girl who doesn't know I love her.

I do community theater when I'm not in school.

[Speaker 1] Do you know what type of medicine you are planning to specialize in yet?

[Speaker 2] I am not sure yet. I've talked a lot about it with my parents and they have given me good advice. I really like children, so I am thinking of pediatric medicine. Are you going to school for theater?

[Speaker 1] No, I am not interested in theater, I would not be very good at acting but I do enjoy watching it and have a lot of appreciation for those who are able to act.

[Speaker 2] Sorry, I missed that about the theater. Do you go to school currently? It's funny, my family and I just moved to FL recently too and am really liking it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am going to school currently but haven't declared a major yet. I am loving Florida and it's warm weather! Why did you family decide to move to Florida?

[Speaker 2] The weather was a big part of it. We lived up North previously and were tired of the terrible winter. My sister lives down here too.

[Speaker 1] I bet it is nice having your sister there. My sister is still back in our hometown finishing high school, I really miss her but she should be coming to visit me over spring break.

[Speaker 2] It is great. She had a baby girl last year so it's nice being able to see her. Is your family far away now that you are in FL?

[Speaker 1] Yes, they are in Michigan. So I do miss them, but I am happy to get away from the winter weather. I really can't see myself moving back after I finish college.

[Speaker 2] That's crazy - we are from MI too. I totally understand why you would want to get out of there. I see FB posts all the time from my friends with pictures of the miserable weather. Do you get a chance to surf pretty often down here?

[Speaker 1] Yes, mostly on the weekends, sometimes I will go during the week if I don't have class or work. It has been a great way to make friends.

[Speaker 2] I bet. When I go visit my in laws at the beach, I am seeing people surfing all the time. It's great that you can to it all year around.

My name is Sam.  I am originally from Michigan. I just moved to Florida. I surf.  I like warm weather.

I like the Twilight series.

I'm not interested in doing community theater. I like going to the theater.

I am a college student. I have a sister who is finishing high school.

I am a student studying medicine.

My parents are doctors.

I am studying to be a doctor.  I am close with my parents.

I live in Florida.  I have a family.

I like warm weather.  I have a sister.

I have a one year old niece.

I am originally from Michigan also.

I am married.

[Speaker 1] I am going surfing this weekend.

[Speaker 2] Cool.  Are you going by yourself or with friends?

[Speaker 1] It'll be me and a few people I met at college.  I'm a little nervous that I'm going to hurt myself.

[Speaker 2] Really?  Don't you have much experience surfing?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I surf pretty often, but last time I fell really badly while up on a wave and the board slammed into my calf.  It's still really sore and I'm worried it will affect my balance.  I can't pass this up though, since I really want to make some friends here.

[Speaker 2] Aww, that sucks!  But you know what they say, if you fall off you gotta get back on the board!

[Speaker 1] Yep, that's exactly how I feel.  I'm just going to tough it out and once I get a few good waves in without anything bad happening I'm sure I'll start feeling good.  You have any plans this weekend?

[Speaker 2] I have to study for a big test this weekend, so nothing planned.  I wish I could go surfing with you, though!

[Speaker 1] Dang, studying on the weekend seems like a real drag.  I hope your parents aren't putting too much pressure on you to succeed in school.  I think you might actually benefit from some time off to go surfing, even if its just for a few hours.

[Speaker 2] It's the last exam of the semester and I didn't do as well as I liked on the previous exam, so I really need to focus.  My parents don't pressure me at all.  Maybe we can go next weekend, to celebrate me passing the test?

[Speaker 1] You know me, I'm down to surf any weekend.  Well, assuming my calf holds up.  Let's plan on it though! I'm sure you'll ace the exam!

[Speaker 2] Well if it's going to be for Valentines day we'd better go with red and pink. I think they're all beautiful it's hard to decide I've never looked at a rose and thought anything but beautiful, you know? How did you get so good at gardening anyway?

[Speaker 1] Gotcha - I'll make sure to have some red and pink for you.  I majored in Agriculture at college so I guess I just picked it up there. My parents were old hippies so we did a lot of farming in my youth.

[Speaker 2] Right on that's awesome. Maybe you can grow some coffee beans and we can make our own Starbucks at home that sure would save me a lot of money ha!

[Speaker 2] That would be great! And I'm sure. Maybe you can make it up to her by getting her some new spray paint for her art.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. She has been working on her art a lot more lately. Maybe she will met a french guy on our trip!

[Speaker 2] Nice! Are you bringing your band shirts to Paris?

[Speaker 1] I bring my band shirts with me everywhere! I don't think anyone in France will know the bands on my shirt though, haha

[Speaker 2] Tell me about it. The girls I date never know who the bands are

[Speaker 1] That's surprising, considering you date a lot of girls! LOL

[Speaker 2] Yeah, those were the perks when I was in basketball! How are things at the pharmacy?

[Speaker 1] You never did tell me why you declined the offer to play professionally. Things are great there, I think I might get a promotion soon!

[Speaker 2] Hahaha! What breed is your dog?

[Speaker 1] He is a miniature poodle. He's quite the character actually. He loves treats of any kind, so I will definitely need to keep him away from your candies. He doesn't listen very well haha

[Speaker 2] Wow! such lovely dog. I'm sure he is your best friend.

[Speaker 1] Oh he is! He keeps me company, but he's going to miss me a lot when my sister and I go to Paris for vacation.

[Speaker 2] Yea sure he will. Ever considered taking him to Paris?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about it, but I think he'd be better off at home with my boyfriend. I don't want to take the chance of something happening to Bongo while we are in Paris and I lose him or anything like that.

[Speaker 2] That's true. I think it best Bongo stayed back.

[Speaker 1] Freddie Mercury was a legend! Mad respect for him! That had to be one heck of a show! We can pluck carrots to "We will rock you"!

[Speaker 2] Freddie was one of a kind. He was born to be a showman. Hahahaha, that sounds like an amazing show.

[Speaker 1] Indeed he was, just like David Bowie. I can't imagine seeing them both live. Can't wait to see you and help around the yard. It makes me feel good when I'm helping people. Takes my mind off of the way my life is currently going. My dad was a huge fan of Bowie's.

[Speaker 2] How long will your dad be serving in jail? Sure, that would be good, I can use some assistance.

[Speaker 2] Are you an artist, I love painting as well

[Speaker 1] Yea that fence is my favorite color

[Speaker 2] He's a mutt: corgi and basset hound.  What about yours?

[Speaker 1] I have a golden retriever, corgi, and pitbull. They are my pride and joy. Do you ever swim with your dog?

[Speaker 2] That's great! I love dogs so much.  I have tried, but he is kind of scared of the water.  Do your dogs like to swim?

[Speaker 1] Only Leo likes to swim, the other two are not too fond of water haha. Have you ever shown your paintings to your dogs?

[Speaker 2] Haha no, not really, but I have made a painting of my dog and my friends' dogs.

[Speaker 1] Sounds neat! Can I see it too? How long did it take you to paint it?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I'll send a photo.  It took a while because I only did it during nights I got home from work early, which doesn't happen often.  Do you work long hours too?

[Speaker 1] Not really just the standard 9-5 for me since I am an accountant. The job is quite boring now though. Is work exciting for you?

[Speaker 2] Yea - I work as a physical therapist and I love treating patients, but the hours are very long, so I don't have much free time.  My mom is an accountant and yes, it does seem quite boring.

I have 3 dogs named Leo, Pepper, and Minty: 2 girl dogs and 1 boy dog. They are a golden retriever, corgi, and a pitbull.

My favorite color is blue.

I am an accountant. I work 9am-5pm. My job is boring to me.

I work long hours. I work as a physical therapist. I love my patients. My mom is an accountant.

[Speaker 1] I went swimming with Leo this week. We had so much fun.

[Speaker 2] What about Pepper and Minty? Where did you swim?

[Speaker 1] They don't like the water, they absolutely hate it! Every time I bring them they cry the whole time and refuse to get in so I let them soak up some sun on the sidelines. We went to the lake out in the mountains, it was beautiful! Have you been to it yet?

[Speaker 2] LOL! I'm shocked, I thought only Peppermint hated the water so much; most dogs I hear love it! It's so funny that our corgis are named Peppermint and Pepper; you'd think we planned that! I haven't been; my ears pop a lot near mountains.

[Speaker 1] Haha that is pretty funny! We should take them out for a walk soon, everyone always gives them tons of attention and they love it haha. Oh no that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe instead of the mountains, you and I can take a drive out to the countryside and swim around in the lakes out there! I heard they're just as beautiful.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! I'm totally game. Peppermint can hang with Pepper and Minty and we'll swim with Leo!

[Speaker 1] Alright! I'm super excited, it's been a while since we've gone out swimming. Are you working this weekend? I know you love your patients but I think you could really use a break sometime. Pamper yourself, we can even go to get a massage afterwards.

[Speaker 2] Barring any super important last minute emergency appointments that may come up, I'm free! A massage sounds lovely. Maybe after, we could paint a canvas together! Lots of blue, of course since it's your favorite!

[Speaker 1] I would love that! This is turning out to be the best weekend plans we've had in such a long time. I just got a shipment of paints and supplies, we can load them up in the truck and bring them along. Maybe we can paint something for you to hang in your office! You have a big white wall in the waiting room that could use a bit of color, plus you're the best painter I know! It's like an undercover talent of yours haha.

[Speaker 2] I agree! Wow, I didn't know you were a painter too! I agree, it'll be great and I'm sure the patients would love something fun to look at!

[Speaker 1] I saw these cute DIY paintings online where people put their dog's paws in paint and have them walk on a canvas and it turns out super cute! I think it would be nice to have a little keepsake like that around. I love to paint, I'm just not very good at it haha. But it's a nice way to relieve some stress.

[Speaker 2] I totally agree on it being stress relieving! Those DIY paintings sound cute; maybe we could do that too!

[Speaker 1] Zebras are cool. My daughter loves them.

[Speaker 2] I'm actually writing a page for animals magazine about zebras, I write weekly.

[Speaker 1] Cool. If magic was real I could make a zebra appear for my daughter.

[Speaker 2] Have you heard that zebras make great milk, too bad I am kind of allergic to it.

[Speaker 1] Haha. No. But I cannot wait for christmas! It is so much fun to get mail packages

[Speaker 2] Do you take your daughter to the beach often? I really think the beach is nasty now.

[Speaker 1] Not lately. Time for me to go fantasize about christmas!

[Speaker 2] I fantasize of being a very famous actress someday. Riding a zebra down the runway.

[Speaker 1] That would be interesting. Nice fantasy! Hope it happens.

[Speaker 2] Me too but as a writer I don't think it can happen.

[Speaker 1] You can do whatever you want to do... If you believe in magic!

[Speaker 2] But I do not believe in magic...

[Speaker 1] You should believe in magic...

[Speaker 2] Can you do any magic?

I have a daughter.

Zebras are my favorite animal.
I write things weekly.
I want to be an actress.

[Speaker 1] You like zebras, right? Where is your favorite place to see zebras?

[Speaker 2] I love them! The local zoo has about five of them. You should take your daughter to see them!

[Speaker 1] Great idea! She would enjoy that.

[Speaker 2] How old is she? And what is her name?

[Speaker 1] She just turned 10. Her name is Grace. I can't believe her age. It feels like she was born yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Time flies once you have kids. What career path do you see her taking? I suggest writing, as it has given me a fulfilling career and allows me the time to pursue hobbies like acting.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the suggestion! Have you written anything interesting lately?

[Speaker 2] I just wrote a piece on zebras actually! They are the most fascinating animals. I will send you a copy of my article if you want to read it.

[Speaker 1] I would be honored! I will share it with Grace to get her excited about zebras!

[Speaker 2] Fantastic! I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Please be critical - I am always looking to improve.

[Speaker 1] I promise to be honest, but I am confident that it will be great! You are very talented.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for the compliment. That means a great deal coming from you.

My daughter Grace just turned 10.

Zebras are my favorite animal.

I write things weekly. I want to be an actress. My hobby is acting.

I have wrote a article on Zebras.

[Speaker 1] I took my daughter to the zoo yesterday!

[Speaker 2] How was it? Did she have fun?

[Speaker 1] She absolutely loved it! After seeing the baby elephants she says she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up.

[Speaker 2] I'm so happy! At my age zoo was a big thing, everyone was going there more often. Now I think it is a place only for families.

[Speaker 1] It does seem to be very family oriented. We even saw your favorites - the zebras! Any new acting projects coming up? Auditions?

[Speaker 2] After sending you my last piece on zebras, I also sent it to an editor I know hoping he will publish it. I am waiting for an answer

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! It's really brave to share your writing with others. Is it a certain magazine or website?

[Speaker 2] He's looking after a general magazine but they have also a website more oriented on animals. Did you have any chance to read my article?

[Speaker 1] I did read it. I can't believe I forgot to mention it. I read it to my daughter Grace, and we both loved it. I learned so much about their social structure and how they communicate with each other. How did you get so much information about zebras?

[Speaker 2] I am really happy you guys enjoyed. This fills my heart! The secret of my information is just to follow my passion. When you study what you are passionate of, everything is easier!

[Speaker 1] That's excellent advice! You inspired Grace to want to write an article on elephants. They were her favorite animals at the zoo. Any tips for her?

[Speaker 2] Thank you! You just made my day, inspiring new generation I think is the best reward possible. Tips? Try to let her read as much as possible. She will love this world even more

Since young I ve loved fashion.

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

My inspirations are alexander mcqueen and coco chanel.

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

My desire is to becom a fashion designer.

I am a high school student.
I make straight as.
I am in the band.
I'm very social.
I eat healthy.

When I was little I enjoyed clothes.

Fashion is one of my favorite hobbies.

I'm really in to fashion.

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

I've a good sense of style.

I should start thinking about which colleges to apply to soon.

I get good grades in school.

I play guitar with my mates on fridays.

I'm very talkative.

I'm on the paleo diet and try to stick to it every day.

[Speaker 1] Hello from new york from the fashion district!

[Speaker 2] Hi there, how are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm well. So what do you do for a living? I'm a fashion student.

[Speaker 2] I'm currently still in school right now, but I play in a band

[Speaker 1] Cool! I love to shop and get inspired for my future fashion career.

[Speaker 2] I think I am more into academic stuff like science and math

[Speaker 1] That is very important. I have had my eyes on fashion since I was young.

[Speaker 2] Wow, seems like you have a really strong passion for fashion

[Speaker 1] Yes, alexander mcqueen and coco chanel have always been my motivators.

[Speaker 2] That's very admirable! I'm just a highschool band player I guess

[Speaker 1] What instrument do you play?

[Speaker 2] I play the clarinet, but I also do other activities as well

[Speaker 1] That sounds very interesting.

[Speaker 2] Tennis is one of my favorite sport, so I always have to stay in shape for that

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is important to stay in shape.

[Speaker 2] That's one of the reason my diet is always strict and healthy at all time

I prefer science and math over fashion.

Tennis is one of my favorite sports.

My diet is always strict and healthy.

[Speaker 1] I just landed an important job with a major fashion stylist!

[Speaker 2] That's great. Do you need to move for this job?

[Speaker 1] Not really, the studio is like an hour away so I can make the drive daily, I might move to a new apartment closer in the future after my lease is up here. I'm so excited!! How are your studies going?

[Speaker 2] I like my classes. I'm starting to look at colleges now.

[Speaker 1] I remember when I was doing research for colleges. I was always on edge wondering if I'd get accepted. What colleges are you planning on applying to? Somewhere closer to home or are you looking to spread your wings?

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking about University of Pittsburgh and Penn State at this point.  Pitt is close to home, but Penn State is a few hours away.

[Speaker 1] Nice, I'm sure you'll make the choice that's best for you. Penn state has some amazing Science programs if I remember correctly. WIll you be joining the tennis team if you get a chance, or focusing more on your studies?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to play tennis there, but I not sure I'm good enough to play at the Division 1 level.

[Speaker 1] Just keep practicing and I'm sure you'll do fine. It's best to concentrate on your studies in your first year anyway. Get all the pesky gen ed requirements out of the way.

[Speaker 2] Agreed, I would really want make sure that I do well on those intro classes before it gets tougher.

[Speaker 1] Exactly, no different with designing. Get the fundamentals out of the way first so you can focus on growth! Best of luck!!

[Speaker 2] You too, exciting times for both us. Glad you found your dream job.

I am a fashion student. I have enjoyed fashion since I was young. I love to shop. My motivators are Alexander McQueen and Coco Chanel.

I just got a new job. I commute daily. I might move soon.

I  went to Penn State.

I am in highschool. I play clarinet in the band. I prefer science and math over fashion.

Tennis is one of my favorite sports.

My diet is always strict and healthy.

Pittsburg is close to my home.

[Speaker 1] I went to eat out tonight to celebrate my new job.

[Speaker 2] What type of food did you have?  I hope it was a great celebration.

[Speaker 1] I had seafood. It was a lot of fun. How was your performance with your school band?

[Speaker 2] It went fine.  I always feel like the clarinets get lost among the tubas and trombones and whatnot, but I always enjoy it.  Who did you go to the restaurant with?

[Speaker 1] As long as you love what you're doing, you'll always shine! I went with some coworkers, friends and even my fashion mentor came. The restaurant was playing tennis matches on the TV, you would've enjoyed it..

[Speaker 2] Haha!  I probably would have.  It sounded like a good time.  Was it good?  I bet New York has some really good restaurants.

[Speaker 1] It was delicious and they had so many options for different diets as well! When is the last time you went home to visit family?

[Speaker 2] I live with my parents for now but my grandparents, aunts, and uncles are all out-of-state, and I haven't seen them in a few years.  I miss them.

[Speaker 1] Okay! I used to go to Penn State for undergrad so I'm familiar with the Pittsburgh area. I didn't have the best experience when I visited though.

[Speaker 2] What was it that you didn't enjoy?  I'd be interested to hear your take as I try to decide where I went to spend those four years.

[Speaker 1] I went to a park for a barbecue and there ended up being a shoot out. So my advice is to be very aware of your surroundings. Do you know what you want to major in in college?

[Speaker 2] Oh wow!  That's scary.  I hope I never experience anything like that.  I'm thinking of majoring in engineering of some type, though I haven't decided which specific field.


I wish my mom was healthier.

I worry about our neighbors yelling in the middle of the night.

I live in a bad neighborhood.

I wish I could go to a better school.

I have sausage fingers.
I can draw.
I like sprite soda.
I am bloated.
I'm funny.

My mother has a terrible illness.

My neighborhood can get loud late.

I call the ghetto home.

I'm saving up to go to a four year university.

I feel a little bit chunky.
I like to sketch.
I like clear drinks.
I feel large.
I like big bang theory.

[Speaker 1] Hi! Worried about my mom she's not dong well

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could tell her a joke to make her feel better?

[Speaker 1] Good idea the neighborhood we live in is bad so its scary

[Speaker 2] Ours is too, I find a sense of humor helps with that.

[Speaker 1] Neighbors are always yelling at night I hate it

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I draw pictures of what I see outside my window.

[Speaker 1] Neat my school is really bad, wish I had another choice

[Speaker 2] Despite my fat fingers I went to art school.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice. I have no artistic abilities at all

[Speaker 2] Do you like music? Music appreciation is artistic.

[Speaker 1] Yes I do. That makes me feel better.. Lol

[Speaker 2] I am glad. Heres to you! Toasts you with a sip of sprite

[Speaker 1] Ll I like sprite

[Speaker 2] I do too, but the bubbles, delicious as they're, can be evil.

[Speaker 1] Yes carbonation is that way

[Speaker 2] Between the bubbles and popcorn at the movies, my jeans are a bit tight.

I am not artistic.

I like music.

I like sprite.

I also live in a bad neighborhood.

I draw pictures of what I see outside my window.

I like sprite.

My jeans are a bit tight.

[Speaker 1] I took your advice and told my mom a joke. I think it helped make her feel better.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's good. Yeah, I think a good laugh always helps. Helps you look at the world differently, even if your environment is not perfect, you know?

[Speaker 1] "If I weren't laughing, then I'd be crying", isn't that the expression?  Our new neigbors are just so terrible, she needs someone to cheer her up.

[Speaker 2] It's the same with me. I swear, everyone on my street is a criminal, a drug dealer or an addict. I have to dodge them whenever I go out to get a Sprite or a snack.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the neighborhood wasn't always this way. Ever since they closed that factory, everything has gone downhill.  The corner store near our house was robbed, so I could even get my Sprite last night!

[Speaker 2] Please be careful! It's so stressful living like this. I wish I could move but I spent so much money on my art school education and it's hard to recover. I can't even afford to buy new pants, which I need desperately!

[Speaker 1] At least you're artistic, unlike me.  I swear all my art looks like a Kindergartener drew it!  Maybe I can see if my older brother has some pants that are too tight for him that he can give you, would that be cool?

[Speaker 2] That's super nice of you, thanks! What I really need to do, though, is drop some weight. Even my fingers are overweight, I swear!

[Speaker 1] Haha, too much of that Sprite man!  Well save the diet for Monday, because I found a cool band I really want to see on Saturday, you can come with me if you want?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! I sure they are a cool band, because you are the number one source for good music, as far as I'm concerned!

[Speaker 1] Music really makes me forget about the bad neighborhood and the crime around us.  I think that's why I'm so drawn towards it.

[Speaker 2] Yup, it's so important to have some way to escape, even if it's only for a little while. You have your music, I have my artwork -- it helps a lot, you're right!

I live in a bad neighborhood. My school is really bad. I have new neighbors. I have an older brother.

I am not artistic. I like music.

I like sprite.

I also live in a bad neighborhood.

I have fat fingers. I went to art school. I like art.

I like sprite.

My jeans are a bit tight.  have money troubles. I need pants. I want to lose weight.

[Speaker 1] Are you working on any art pieces right now?

[Speaker 2] No I'm not but I will later in the day. Do you love art?

[Speaker 1] I like to look at it, but I'm definitely not good at it. My form of art lies in music. I love music so much. It is such an escape.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That's great. I love music to. What's your favorite genre?

[Speaker 1] There are so many genres I like. I love rock, rap, melodic trance, emo rap, dubstep, and so many others. My rule of thumb is I don't have a specific genre I look for, if it sounds good, it sounds good! haha

[Speaker 2] Ok. that's cool. I love R&B

[Speaker 1] R&B is also a good genre of music. I like the classics, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye. Luther Vandross was also a wonderful R&B artist.

[Speaker 2] Wow! i love Marvin Gaye too. We have lots in common.

[Speaker 1] It seems like we really do. Hey, on Saturday when we go to that concert, maybe you can show me some of your artwork?

[Speaker 2] Oh! definitely i will. I'm sure you'd love it.

[Speaker 1] Are you more of an abstract artist or what kind of art do you excel in?

[Speaker 1] Sounds like fun. I really love listening to music, all genres, after I get home.

[Speaker 2] I love music as well!

[Speaker 1] Really? Sounds like we would get along just fine! I also love movies, comedy especially

[Speaker 2] Me too! What is your fave?

[Speaker 1] I love anything with melissa mccarthy. She is great!

[Speaker 2] She is amazing! The boss had me on the floor

[Speaker 1] Me too! Did you also like the new ghostbusters?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I was just watching it the other day

I play tennis.

I listen to all genres of music.

I love comedy movies, movies with Melissa McCarthy. I like the new Ghostbusters.

I live in Portland, Oregon.

I brew my own beer. I make coffee.

I love music, movies. I like the new Ghostbusters.

[Speaker 1] What sort of beer have you been making at home? Do you have a favorite type that you like to drink?

[Speaker 2] I like a variety of beers including Heineken, Guiness and others. I've even come up with my own flavors though I don't have a favorite at the moment. How about yourself, are you a big beer drinker?

[Speaker 1] I definitely do. Though, I'm more of a whiskey person if I had to pick. Nothing like kicking back with a nice glass of scotch listening to some music.

[Speaker 2] That sounds very nice. I like whiskey but don't drink it as often. What kind of music do you listen to?

[Speaker 1] Like I mentioned before. Pretty much anything. Really enjoying this album by a band called Moon Hooch though.

[Speaker 2] I can't say I'm too familiar with them. Have you ever seen them in concert?

[Speaker 1] I saw them last year. They were a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure they visited Portland too. They tour everywhere

[Speaker 2] Oh really it's unfortunate that I missed them. Maybe I'll check them out next time they tour here.

[Speaker 1] Not to steretopype, but if you love coffee, brewing your own beer, and you live in Portland, you'll probably like them. LOL. You seen any good concerts recently?

[Speaker 2] Lol very true. We get a bad rap sometimes but we are eclectic in our style choices. I haven't been to a concert in a long time due to work but I have to go soon.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work again? Or maybe you never mentioned it.

[Speaker 2] Funny enough I work at a brewery lol. I can't get enough of those nice, cold beers.

I play tennis.

I listen to all genres of music. I enjoy listening to the Moon Hooch band. I saw the Moon Hooch band in concert last year.

I am a beer drinker. I prefer to drink whiskey.

I live in Portland, Oregon.

I work at a brewery. I brew my own beer. I make coffee. I like Heineken, Guiness, and other beers. I like whiskey.

I haven't been to a concert in a long time.

[Speaker 1] I just had the best beer from the brewing company you work at.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is very humbling - we certainly do try our hardest!  What other movies with Melissa McCarthy do you like? Do you have a favorite?

[Speaker 1] Well, that's tough. I'd say it's either Bridesmaids or Tammy. Both were really funny.

[Speaker 2] I loved Tammy, I thought it was silly but well thought out and funny.  Have you ever been to Portland?  One of my favorite shows is Portlandia. It's so true, living here.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah Fred Armeson is great in that but I've only seen a few episodes. I wonder if working at the brewery has any of that Portland sillyness?

[Speaker 2] Not really.  I mean, we all have beards and ride bikes, but we're normal.  Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] Haha @ everyone has beards... I live in Pennsylvania so I don't know much of Portland culture. I had to drive up to New York when I saw Moon Hooch.

[Speaker 2] I've seen Moon Hooch before. Not my  cup of tea. I like more heavy rock bands.  A good guitar shred gets it done for me.

[Speaker 1] I get that, I listen to just about everything depending on the moon and maybe how much I've had to drink.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever visited a whiskey distillery?  I'm so fascinated by how much work goes into it. Much more than brewing beer.

[Speaker 1] Mood* . No, is the process much different? And how does your home brewing compare to the company?

[Speaker 2] The home brewing is such a simple setup compared to the brewery.  Most of it I do on my stove top.  At the brewery we have big tanks that heat up the hops.

[Speaker 2] Congrats on winning!  How often do you have games?   It's hard work but I think it's so fun and interesting.  I can't wait to finish up and get a job in the journalism field.

[Speaker 1] We have games every week for the hockey season which last about 5 months a year. What type of journalism would you like to get into?

[Speaker 2] Wow that's a long season but I'm sure that keeps you busy and since you love it I'm sure you don't mind.  I'd love to do investigative or entertainment journalism.

[Speaker 1] You have great aspirations. How high maintenance are French bulldogs for pets?

[Speaker 2] They are a little more high maintenance than the lab I had when I was younger, but I wouldn't trade her for the world.  She is so much fun and loves to cuddle.  How's your pitbull?

[Speaker 1] Aw she sounds adorable. My pitbull is so friendly. He has to have his annual check up tomorrow. I love going to the dog park.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully his check up goes well.  I bet he loves the dog park too.  I would like to try one of those out sometime, but I'm not sure how my girl would do.

[Speaker 1] Bizarrely there's a whole world of dog park etiquette involved! It's very interesting. I could give you some pointers when you're ready to go.

[Speaker 1] Univeristy of Maine or Boston College. I'm not sure I want to leave home, though

[Speaker 2] leaving from home is so fun tho! you really get the grow and have so much freedom

[Speaker 1] That's true. Did you leave home for journalism school?

[Speaker 2] yes, and it was some of the best years of my life. old enough to have adult fun, but too young to have adult responsibilities. But i do miss living at home sometimes

[Speaker 1] yeah, maybe you are right! Will you go back home one day?

[Speaker 2] yes i will, i miss my family. but i do visit often. you must be excited to graduate high school

[Speaker 1] Very excited. I just hope I get a hockey scholarship
