[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hello to you too! I am well thank you

[Speaker 1] That is good, I am mad because I got kicked off the buss today

[Speaker 2] Gee... I hate it when such a thing happens to me too what was the reason?

[Speaker 1] I refused to ride it

[Speaker 2] Wait a second. If you refused to be on it how did they kick you off?

[Speaker 1] I got on the bus and stood in the door way refusing to ride

[Speaker 2] Lol... I've to admit that this is quite hilarious

[Speaker 1] Lol thanks for listening to me

[Speaker 2] Living in the city and dealing with buses is awful

[Speaker 1] I know, that's why I try to enjoy the little things

[Speaker 2] Me too. I prefer the simplicity of country life though.

[Speaker 1] Really, that is kind of boring.

[Speaker 2] Not at all! My father owns a dairy farm and everyday is an adventure here.

[Speaker 1] I can't work more then 4 days in a row, not sure how you can

[Speaker 2] Well sure enough I would prefer playing badminton than work, but it is not so bad.

I live in the city.

My father owns a dairy farm.
I enjoy playing badminton.

[Speaker 1] How often do you get to play badminton?

[Speaker 2] I try to play at least once a week. Sometimes I have to help my dad with the farm on the weekends though. I agree with you that a 4 day workweek is ideal. What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 1] I work for a big home furnishing company, I quite like it 12 hours shift four in four off. Do you work somewhere else apart of farm?

[Speaker 2] I work at a soil testing lab at the local university. Lately they have been having me do the work load of several people for the same pay. But it is Friday so I can go play badminton later after work. Do you do anything for exercise? In the city I imagine your options are limited to gyms and maybe biking.

[Speaker 1] I was always interested how it is working in lab, do you collect samples yourself or you purely working in? As for me I don't go out lately only for shopping.

[Speaker 2] They are sent to the lab and I analyze them. What is it like at the home furnishing store?

[Speaker 1] It's always busy 24/7. If you ever tried meatballs in their restaurant in store you know which company I am talking about. I am quite lucky as I am able to work from home since March 2020

[Speaker 2] Well having a busy company usually means job security, so that's good. What do you like to do on your time off?

[Speaker 1] Mostly I play computer games while my wife is at work. Also I small garden where I grow little bit of veggies. Last year had a lot of runner beans. What about yourself apart of Badminton?

[Speaker 2] I tried gardening last summer as well on my balcony. It didn't go very well. I think the soil had too much clay in it. You'd think I would know better since I analyze soil for a living! I play computer games also- minecraft, stardew valley, sims, and planet zoo. You?

[Speaker 1] Sad to hear but I think next time you will do better, I like to play Guild Wars2 and also party games on my old Wii

[Speaker 2] Oh ok that's awesome. Thanks for the encouragement about gardening! Is Guild Wars on PC?

I work for a big company. I work at Ikea. I work from home.  I like to work 4 days a week in 12 hour shifts. I don't like to work more than 4 days in a row.

I live in the city. I only go out for shopping. My store is always busy.

I'm married. I play video games. I garden.

My father owns a dairy farm.

I work with my dad on a farm on the weekends. I prefer a shorter work week.

I work at a university. I do soil testing. I analyze soil samples. I'm overworked. I play badminton after work on Friday.

I value job security.

I live in an apartment. I play video games. I don't have a green thumb.

[Speaker 1] How was your latest badminton match?

[Speaker 2] I didnt have any. Thank God. I am already over stressed from work. How was your weekend? did you do anything fun?

[Speaker 1] I had a very busy work week as well, and am very glad to see it end! I did have a good weekend. It was restful and relaxing. I got a new video game which I played. It is called Humankind. It is a strategy game. Have you heard of it? It is brand new this year.

[Speaker 2] Oh thats nice. no i have not heard of hun]mankind. will check it out. hopefully i have the time and remember to. i chose to visit the beach over the weekend for few hours to clear my head. any new gardening happening? or how are your plants

[Speaker 1] It is a really good strategy-type game where you have to create a new world with cities, while, of course, battling evil that tries to invade. It is really fun. The beach sounds very relaxing. I haven't yet planted my garden for the season, but I am coming up with a plan for expanding the vegetables and adding some new ones.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is cool. The game sounds interesting already. will look into it. Do you have any siblings or pets?

[Speaker 1] Yes, you should look into it. It has amazing graphics. It is only for the PC though, and not a game system. I sometimes like those better because I can use it during my lunch break at work! Sshhhhhhh! Don't tell!! I find even a quick 15 minutes of game time can help the day at work go much faster. No, I don't have siblings or pets. I would love to get a dog but I am away at work for such long hours that I don't feel it would be fair to a dog to be alone for such long stretches of time.

[Speaker 2] Hahaha no i wont tell, you will get paid regardless. Okay i thought you worked from home more often. How about your partner?

[Speaker 1] I do work from home but have been going into the physical store more and more often lately. I find that helps me not bring as much work home with me. Or, in my case, continuing to work at home while not on the clock. I would actually work many hours extra that I was not paid for. How is your job going? Is your soil sampling work less in the winter with the ground frozen and snow on top of it?

[Speaker 1] I like role playing games.

[Speaker 2] Well I hate to clean the house

[Speaker 1] Who doesn't. My kitchen is full of pizza boxes

[Speaker 2] Oh I hear ya. I do love pizza though

[Speaker 1] It is my favorite. Especially pepperoni

[Speaker 2] Agreed. My husband who is a pastor likes mushrooms.

[Speaker 1] He and I would need separate pizzas

[Speaker 2] Haha. I'm on your team with this one.

[Speaker 1] Oh, actually just putting together a small gift for my folks ; how bout you?

[Speaker 2] I am getting my hair done from brunette to blond

[Speaker 1] Oh, any reason for the change?

[Speaker 2] No, just a new look, being an only child I always loved to experiment.

[Speaker 1] Understood, I was an only child too, actually but I dove into books instead haha

[Speaker 2] That a good thing. My other go to is travelling. I love travelling to other countries.

[Speaker 1] Ever been to canada? I've always wanted to see a true hockey game up close!

[Speaker 2] It is, but I wish she would visit me more, she says I've to many cats.

[Speaker 1] I went swimming at a new place.

[Speaker 2] Nice, was it a quiet place? I know you don't like crowds. Now I want to go swimming.

[Speaker 1] Yes it was quiet there, loved it... will go back for sure. You should come with me. Do you know when Kesha has her next tour?

[Speaker 2] I think it will be in July. We should plan a concert date, it will be fun. If you buy the tickets together I will come swimming with you and reimburse you for the ticket. I can't wait, I need a break from my everyday routine.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds like fun, you got a deal! And July is perfect timing for me too. I will try to get the tickets soon and let you know. Next week is supposed to be hot, so maybe go swimming there at my new spot. I forgot to ask you how Pickles is doing, you were worried last time.

[Speaker 2] OK, lets go swimming next Saturday. I need to get my skills back up, I haven't done it nearly enough since college. Pickles is fine, he was just being a little finicky, as cats can be. I got a new food and he loves it, he just needed a change. Sound like us, right?

[Speaker 1] Oh so happy to hear Pickles is good, I was a little worried. Saturday is perfect, but it will have to be after 10:00 am, hope that's okay. I will bring you a cup of my new pudding, it's AMAZING!

[Speaker 2] Sounds good to me. I can't wait to try your pudding. I just want to make sure you are up for the crowds that will be at the Kesha concert. Will you be able to have fun, because it will be very crowded?

[Speaker 1] I've thought about that, but I really want to see a real concert and I am trying to get better with crowds. And I trust you the most, so this works out well. Can you guess what flavor the pudding is? It's one of your favs :)

[Speaker 2] I'm guessing it's chocolate, but you've probably changed it up a bit. I'm glad you are going to be ok with the concert, it will be a lot of fun and I'll help you out with the crowds.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, and I know you will. You guessed right. Okay I will phone you about swimming Sat on Friday, just in case something comes up.

[Speaker 2] Okay, sounds good to me. I was just thinking the crowds can't be as bad as it was at Woodstock when my parents met. See you soon.

I believe in conspiracy theories.

James is my friend.

I have no pets.

I love music by Kesha. I want to go to the Kesha concert too.

I am good at swimming. I love swimming.

I live in the US. My parents met each other at Woodstock.

I like Kesha too. I want to go to a concert.

[Speaker 1] A buddy just gave me tickets to Taylor Swift for August. Do you want to go? The seats are great!

[Speaker 2] I'd love that! Thankyou so much! It's been forever since I've seen a live show. Kesha was my last and it was amazing. I've heard Taylor is great live!

[Speaker 1] Lets try Taylor but Kesha is always my favorite, I am super excited to watch it live

[Speaker 2] Me too. Thankyou again. And I promise I won't make us go to Starbucks on the way there, lol. We can get some chocolate froyo or something after though, yeah?

[Speaker 1] Ha ha, but my great concern is not Starbucks but the crowd over concert, I like Live concerts but somehow hate crowds.

[Speaker 2] I totally get that. If I could have the experience of live shows but WITHOUT the hordes of people I totally would. We'll survive it together, lol. And a treat - froyo, starbucks, whatever - afterwards as a reward for dealing with crowds would be awesome

[Speaker 1] Yeah, Definitely and how is pickles doing?

[Speaker 2] Doing good! Real snuggly. How's your buddy James?

[Speaker 1] Great and he is the one who gave me this tickets. You should meet him someday he is a really nice guy.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'll have to. He must be if he gave the tickets, lol. Seems like a good friend to have, wink wink. Haha

[Speaker 1] Nothing like that or else it would have been him to the concert.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm sorry, I just meant a better friend than me, taking the tickets rather than giving them!

[Speaker 2] They may, like my favorite magicians. Penn and teller.

My dogs might believe in intelligent design. My favorite magicians are Penn and Teller.

I wanted to be an astronaut for most of my life.

I like lasagna.

[Speaker 1] I found a 2nd job in an Italian restaurant.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I am happy for you. I am sure you will be able to achieve your dream.

[Speaker 1] One day someday i will own a restaurant of my own. Thank you. Are you going to replace the poster your dogs tore?

[Speaker 2] I am not sure. It depend on the mood of my dogs. What do you do for your first job? Do you love Italian food a lot?

[Speaker 1] I work as a public relations officer. I intend to get a pet soon. What are your dogs breed?

[Speaker 2] Both of them are golden retrievers. They are very protective of me. Getting a pet is a very good idea you should definitely look into it.

[Speaker 1] I am really considering it. I need some companion while home and someone to look forward to my return. what fun activity did you have planned for the weekend?

[Speaker 2] Nothing much this weekend. I was thinking of going to the park with my dogs. Other than that I will be chilling at home.

[Speaker 1] Okay that is nice. you have fun while out. I would be working anyways

[Speaker 2] You should also take some time off to relax. Working too much is also not good.

[Speaker 1] I will. sure thing . Very soon

[Speaker 2] When you buy your pet make sure you take some time to see if you can spare the time to take care of them.

I work two jobs. I work as a public relations officer. I just got my second job in an Italian restaurant.

I'm plan to get a pet.

I have golden retrievers. They are my best friends. I am a girl.

I like lasagna.

[Speaker 1] So, did you end up going to the park with your dogs?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we had a really nice time! We played fetch with a frisbee and ran around in the fresh air. I highly recommend getting a dog!

[Speaker 1] I would love to, but I'm so busy from working 2 jobs right now and when I'm off, I'm so exhausted. I'm thinking a cat would be better for me because they are less work.

[Speaker 2] Cats are pretty cool, too. I agree, with your busy life a cat would fit right in. Or maybe two cats, so they don't get lonely.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I could get two. How many golden retrievers do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have two, they are sisters. Hey, I forgot to tell you, when I was at the park, I saw a flyer for a Pink Floyd laser light show next month! Do you want to go with me?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I'll request off at the restaurant that night. Where is it, at the planetarium?

[Speaker 2] Nice! Yeah, at the planetarium, how did you know? Have you been to one before?

[Speaker 1] Only in elementary school. I'll bet you've been a few times since your such a fan of Neil Tyson Degrasse. I used to love to go and learn about constellations.

[Speaker 2] I do love the planetarium, lol! You know me so well! They have all kinds of cool things there, and do lots of cool shows, too. I saw my first Penn and Teller show there, actually.

[Speaker 1] Really? At a planetarium? I've seen a great REM laser light show at a planetarium once come to think of it. Is going there as a kid what made you want to be an astronaut?

[Speaker 2] There is a big events space in the back, behind the main dome, that's where they have the shows that don't require cool lighting, like Penn and Teller. I think the planetarium did have a big influence on me.

I would like a dog but am too busy. I am considering getting a cat.

I like to learn about astronomy.

I am a girl.

I like lasagna.

I like to take my dogs to the park. I have 2 Golden Retrievers. My dogs are sisters. I like Pink Floyd.

I love planetariums. I am a fan of Neil Tyson Degrasse. I have seen a Penn and Teller show.

[Speaker 1] I have heard that Golden Retrievers are amazing dogs and are easy to train. Was that your experience with your dogs?

[Speaker 2] You bet they're easy dogs, great with kids too, but they get unruly at times.

[Speaker 1] Or maybe they just don't like Neil Degrasse Tyson! If I decide to get a cat after all, maybe I'll avoid getting a poster of him. Have you ever had cats, or do you just stick to dogs for all your pets?

[Speaker 2] I've owned cats before, and they're wonderful animals if you can't spend a lot of time with a pet, very self-sufficient. That doesn't mean you can just forget them, because they will definitely remind you they're there!

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear. I work so much that I'd worry about the cat being sad by itself too much. Too much guilt! Any advice for picking out a good cat? I'm going to look up shelters in a bit and see if maybe I can go meet some in person.

[Speaker 2] For temperament, I'd go with your basic tabby. I've found male cats, if neutered on time, to be a lot friendlier--real lap cats!--and affectionate than females.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That's surprising to me. I always thought female cats would be friendlier. I wonder what makes them so much more loving than the males.

[Speaker 2] I don't know. It's been my experience that female cats tend to be more independent and aloof, but your mileage might vary

[Speaker 1] I'll keep that in mind, then! By the way, it's so interesting you like both magic and science -- is that common for magic fans?

[Speaker 2] Magicians have always been great debunkers of the occult, perhaps because they can see behind the curtain of the illusion. Science and stage magic go together, yes.

[Speaker 1] That's so fascinating. I really never considered it like that. Besides Penn and Teller, can you recommend any other magicians to check out?

[Speaker 2] I'd recommend David Blaine and David Copperfield.


I've not had luck with finding a job.

Its been doing better than I expected.

I sell miscellaneous stuff in local fairs.

So I started a small business.

I like toyota cars.
I don't like working long hours.
I like to vote.
I work at a hospital.
Someday I would like a truck.

I can not seem to gain employment.
The outcome is good.
I'm an arts and crafts person.
I am my own boss.

I love foreign vehicles.

I hate overtime.

I excercise my right as a us citizen.

I take care of people.

In the future I want to drive a large vehicle.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you doing tonight?

[Speaker 2] I am okay. Just finished work! Those long hospital hours really such the life outta me

[Speaker 1] Bet! I've not had luck in finding a job, so I started my own business.

[Speaker 2] Good for you. Are you also in healthcare by any chance?

[Speaker 1] No. I make crafts and miscellaneous items to sell at the local fairs.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun! Do you handcraft rings or jewelry?

[Speaker 1] Yes sometimes. It is and its doing way better than I expected to do.

[Speaker 2] Whats the name of your shop? I would like to stop by some time

[Speaker 1] Doblons. Its just a small stand. I would appreciate that! You have hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Doblons. Ok just jotted it down. I do not have many hobbies. I stay politically active

[Speaker 1] Oh nice. I am not too much into politics myself.

[Speaker 2] Do you vote though? Its important to vote!

I have my own business.
I own a crafts business.
I make jewelry.
My business is called Doblons.
I am not interested in politics.

I work at a hospital.
I am interested in politics.

[Speaker 1] Have you been keeping up with the latest politics?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's been an eventful time. Have you followed it at all?

[Speaker 1] Even though, I am typical not interesting, I could not help but to be heavily following what's going on. Did you see what happened at the White house? what a mess right?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it's been a wild time. I've been so busy at the hospital though, I've been focused on that instead.

[Speaker 1] Are you working full time? I command you, I could not work in hospitals, reason why I open my own craft business, so far its been a great investment.

[Speaker 2] I do work full-time and more. But running your own business sounds like even more work. Do you have much spare time?

[Speaker 1] what is your position? is it hard to deal with patients all day long? I cannot agree with you more, since I am my own boss,  I get to make my own calls and make the final decisions, though the stress of it does take the excitement away from it. I just purchased a emerald mine in costa rica, so now I can include emeralds in my crafts, I am hoping the investment was worth it. As of right now, I do not have much time, I wished I did. I want to read a good book to destress, you? have spare time?

[Speaker 2] I work as a phlebotomist in the hospital lab (taking blood). So I'm not dealing with emergency room crises or anything. I do have some free time, which I spend reading political blogs and stuff online. Probably more than I should. It doesn't relax me much.

[Speaker 1] awesome! a good friend of mine is a phlebotomist as well. She really enjoys her work. Have you thought of perhaps start your own political blog, I am sure many will enjoy your opinions and take on whats going on. Maybe it will allow you to relax a bit more.

[Speaker 2] I have though about that, but I'm afraid I'd spend too much time on it arguing. I do too much of that as is. Sometimes I think I should quit the internet for a week or two. Spend more time outside.

[Speaker 1] gotcha! but hey if your blog becomes super popular and trends, you can start making money from it, with Ads and such, unsure how it really works. It could be your side business, a business youll enjoy I think. I am with you, I tend to log into social media every chance I get, I always try to find a day or two in my busy schedule to deplug and go out for a hike.

[Speaker 2] I could also do a YouTube video channel. But I think I'm a better writer than video personality. Hmmm.

I own a crafts business.I make jewelry. My business is called Doblons. I am my own boss. I just purchased an emerald mine in Costa Rica. I can now include emeralds in my crafts. I do not have much spare time at present. I wish I had more spare time.

I am not typically interested in politics. I have been following current politics.

I want to read a book. I think reading a good book would reduce stress.

I have a good friend who is a phlebotomist.

I log into social media often. I have a busy schedule. I make time to go out for hikes.

I work as a phlebotomist at a hospital.

I am interested in politics.

I have been keeping up with the latest politics.

I spend my free time reading political blogs and stuff online. I do not think reading political blogs is relaxing.

I have thought of starting a political blog but I would spend too much time arguing if I started a political blog. I think I argue too much. I sometimes think I should take a break from the Internet for a week or two. I would use this break to spend more time outside.

I am considering a YouTube video channel. I think I am a better writer than a video personality.

[Speaker 1] I have decided to spend less time on social media in order to read this new book.

[Speaker 2] That's great! What's the name of the book?

[Speaker 1] The book I'm reading is called "Angels and Demons." Heard of it?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't what's it about?

[Speaker 1] Well, it's the sequel to the Da Vinci Code. It's about ancient conspiracies.

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds interesting. Is it long?

[Speaker 1] It's not too bad. Have you ever heard of the Da Vinci Code?

[Speaker 2] I haven't what's it about?

[Speaker 1] Well, the idea is that the church is hiding something and that Leonardo Da Vinci hid clues about it through his art.

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds intense! Who discovered that? Does the book tell you?

[Speaker 1] You'll have to read to find out haha! Have you read anything good lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really, just my usually political blogs but I want to switch it up because it's been stressing me out. Maybe I'll give this book a try

[Speaker 2] Jumpy. Need to keep away from matches. Also, all my knives.

[Speaker 1] Um, okay. Are you in trouble?

[Speaker 2] Got a problem with fire. They are gonna get me for starting those fires.

[Speaker 1] Well, lets talk and distract you from the knives and the fire. Do you like music?

[Speaker 2] I like languages. I know six, besides english.

[Speaker 1] Really? Well, I like kid rock.. And purple? Whats your favorite color?

[Speaker 2] Red, ha ha. But seriously, do you know the sesame street song?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I listened to it alot as a kid. How old are you?

[Speaker 2] As the first kid to test for sesame street, now I am really old.

[Speaker 1] Wow. That is pretty cool. I am sure that was pretty fun as a kid

[Speaker 2] It started my career doing voices. I can do all the presidents.

I started fires.

I know six languages other than english.

My favorite color is red.

I have a career doing voices.

[Speaker 1] Did they get you for starting the fires?

[Speaker 2] They haven't and I don't think they will. I started them at night and then ran of. Even on the news they don't have any openings

[Speaker 1] You shouldn't start fires. It's dangerous.

[Speaker 2] The people needed to know what they did was wrong. I knew no one was gonna get hurt but I'm happy knowing they lost a lot of money.

[Speaker 1] Doing what is right is always good but you must think about it multiple times before doing anything that can hurt innocent people.

[Speaker 2] Yeah this was a one time thing I won't be doing it again. I'm going to start learning a voice for a new show coming out.

[Speaker 1] Good. I like watching shows. What are you warking on?

[Speaker 2] It's a children's cartoon about learning about space. It's going to feature Neil deGrasse Tyson so I'm really excited for it.

[Speaker 1] Great I am happy for you. I am sure you will be do great. Did you want to do voices since you were young?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I was always imitating people on TV so I enjoy it a lot. The pay is pretty good too for just showing up and reading a script compared to most jobs.

I was the first test child for sesame street. I have a career doing voices. I am working on a children's cartoon featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I have siblings.

[Speaker 1] How is the show going?

[Speaker 2] It's going pretty good, I am a skilled animator so I am trying to do it without a time.  It's time consuming.  Ever sense I first saw sesame street I wanted to be a maker of children's entertainment.

[Speaker 1] Yeah you have watched sesame street for along time. Who was your favorite host?

[Speaker 2] I think my favorite host was when gloria estefan was on.  I like her music.

[Speaker 1] Oh ya she has some good tunes. Hows your new cartoon coming along?

[Speaker 2] It's going pretty good, like I said it just takes time.  Maybe I should get in touch with the sesame street people and see if maybe I can bring them in on it.  I'd love to animate those characters.  Do you have a favorite character from sesame street?

[Speaker 1] I used to like the Count but I wasn't into it as much as you, I like the Ninja Turtles. So is your cartoon about space?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's about astronomy and stuff.  Maybe I could do an episode where the count counts all the things in the universe.

[Speaker 1] Haha yes, he could count the amount of dark matter that is missing! I think kids will be interested in that type of educational cartoon, even I would be!

[Speaker 2] I agree, I could watch that kind of thing forever!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, did you watch the Carl Sagan series?

[Speaker 2] Never cared for Carl Sagan.

My favorite color is purple.

I like watching shows.

I have a 9 to 5 job.

I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I used to like Sesame Street's The Count.

I'm interested in astronomy.

My favorite Sesame Street host was Gloria Estefan. I like Gloria Estefan's music. I never liked Carl Sagan.

[Speaker 1] I'm watching a Ninja Turtle marathon right now, thinking maybe I should enroll in an animation class in the evenings.

[Speaker 2] Donatello is the best ninja turtle. That’s show is the best. Which one is your favourite ninja turtle?

[Speaker 1] I do not have a favorite I just like the show itself, anyway I want to learn a new language what are the languages that you can speak?

[Speaker 2] Ahh okay. I speak, french, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese.

[Speaker 1] Which one would you recommend me to learn?

[Speaker 2] I would say the easiest to learn is Spanish.

[Speaker 1] Really I heard Portuguese is pretty easy to learn, however I think I would love to learn French because I love their fashion! Do you think French is as easy as Spanish?

[Speaker 2] Spanish are Portuguese is very similar. If you learn one you will pick up the other. Yes french is pretty easy to learn also.

[Speaker 1] I am very happy to hear that!! Is there any new shows that you are working on for children?

[Speaker 2] Yes it is about 3 fox sibling very cute. I hope the kids will love it.

[Speaker 1] I am sure they will, I am just curious are you writing the scrips alone or with someone's help?

[Speaker 2] No I have help, we kind of do half the work each.

[Speaker 1] You are indeed! Now does my love for fishing make even more sense?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! Looks like we both make use of the ocean.

[Speaker 1] Agreed! The ocean is most definitely the best place on earth.

[Speaker 2] Sure is. I love surfing and sunsets. The ocean is a great place for both!

[Speaker 1] Not bad I got a job at a pizza parlor to help out.

[Speaker 2] That would be a nice job since I am always thinking about food anyways

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about yourself!

[Speaker 2] I am hopelessly addicted to shopping. It is so much fun

[Speaker 1] That's crazy, anything else?

[Speaker 2] You are getting a bit close, I am not a fan of that

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry I'll just back off then.

[Speaker 2] Sorry, a lot has happened in my life

[Speaker 2] Nice to meet you! I'm a nurse.

[Speaker 1] That's cool! My aunt is a nurse, she's wonderful.

[Speaker 2] Very cool! It is a good job. I work short hours which I love!

[Speaker 1] Do you have time for hobbies? I love going to the beach.

[Speaker 2] I do but I mostly just watch politics. Gotta know who to vote for.

[Speaker 1] Did you vote for trump or hillary?

[Speaker 2] I could not vote because I was fixing up my toyota.

[Speaker 1] Bummer. I'm not into politics much myself... Maybe I'm wrong.

[Speaker 2] Who knows. I just need low taxes so I can save up for a new truck!

[Speaker 1] What do you want to do with the truck?

[Speaker 2] Yes I am saving up to buy a truck. It's very difficult to budget to save a little money. How do you manage any tips?

[Speaker 1] I pretty much just concentrate on work and don't get distracted by everyday nonsense, such as politics. It is not all that great though, I don't get to meet that many people, maybe that is why I still haven't found any one to marry.

[Speaker 2] Don't worry about marriage. You will meet someone you love. It will happen when it is time. Focusing on work is good but you should also take time to destress and relax as well.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I like going to the beach whenever I am stressed. What do you normally do to relax?

[Speaker 2] I like to take walks and jog in parks. I like to breath the fresh air and meditate.

[Speaker 1] After school hard to find a job in the city your town sounds fun

[Speaker 2] It is nice. I can enjoy the lake and a few books every weekend.

[Speaker 1] All sounds fun and enjoy reading as well my friend

[Speaker 2] What else do you like to do? Golf or tennis by chance, like me?

[Speaker 1] Tennis sounds fun and just like to hike to get out of city relax

I live in a City, I find it hard to sleep in the city. I like to go hiking.

I had a hard time finding a job after school.

I like reading.

I want to be a teacher.

My name is Sarah.

I live outside the city. I'm a teacher. I teach 5th grade  near Oakville, NY.

I like the lakes. I read every weekend.

I like tennis, golf.

[Speaker 1] This week was great! I managed to find a job and went on a hike earlier today.

[Speaker 2] Wow that is great news! Did you find a teaching gig?

[Speaker 1] sort of. I landed a substitute teaching gig just to get my foot in the door. how have your 5th grade classes been going?

[Speaker 2] That is a good start, I began as a substitute myself in a different school. It has been interesting teaching this grade level, they love to read and mostly like to learn.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. Do you have any advice for me as I start out on the teaching path?

[Speaker 2] It can be sometimes, what grade will you be teaching? The best advice generally is to listen to kids and try to not scold them

[Speaker 1] I'm going to be subbing at a high school, so it could be any grade between 9 and 12. Are you reading anything good right now for yourself?

[Speaker 2] A little tougher but that is especially a sensitive time for teenagers. Be there for them as much as you can to support their future. I haven't read anything new lately but was thinking of picking up Serena William's book. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I am actually starting the Dune series by Frank Herbert. So far it is really interesting.

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, I've never read it but may have watched the film in the past. Is that your favorite genre?

[Speaker 1] yes, I like both fantasy and sci-fi. Do you read a lot of biographies?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy those genres as well. My favorites are autobiographies, non fiction and memoirs

I like reading.

I have just started a new job as a teacher. I am going to teach at high school.

My name is Sarah.

I live outside the city. I teach 5th grade  near Oakville, NY.

I like the lakes. I read every weekend. I prefer to read autobiographies, non-fiction and memoirs.

I like tennis, golf. I am interested in learning about Serena Williams.

[Speaker 1] I started my new job.

[Speaker 2] How's it going? And congratulations, by the way! Can't remember if I said well done or not yet.

[Speaker 1] You did and thanks.  I think it's going well.  I'm still nervous but I hope that will quickly go away.  The kids are great and very receptive to me.  9th grade English might be easier than I first thought!  Any advice on how to control the nerves and win the students over?

[Speaker 2] Just be yourself! Kids can smell two things  - fear and fakeness, lol. Nothing worse than a teacher trying to be someone they're not. They'll love you! Also Dune is pretty cool nowadays, talk about that.

[Speaker 1] Ok, no fear and no fakeness.  Got it!  I'm thinking of offering extra curricular reading actives to expand off of the mandatory reading list.  I was thinking about Dune but need to get it ok by the principal first.  Did you enjoy the Serena Williams bio?

[Speaker 2] I loved it! I'd recommend it for any kids into sports, too - wasn't too advanced or adult. Expanding off the reading list is a great idea to add a bit of personality to the curriculum and get the kids excited!

[Speaker 1] That's what I thought.  I want these kids to enjoy reading and I hate to admit it but some of the books on the list are EXTREMELY boring!  Let's face it, what's more exciting: Shakespeare or Instagram?  You are so lucky that your 5th graders don't have smart phones.  Or do they? Oh the horrors!

[Speaker 2] Thankfully not, but the kids not much older do so I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Jeez they're still making them sit through Shakespeare?! I love The Bard but at 15 I was NOT in the right frame of mind to enjoy it, lol!

[Speaker 1] I know right?  I'm all for the classics.  And I think everyone should read them.....but I think it's better to save that for 11/12th grade.  I'm sure you don't have trouble with your class though.  Everything is still new and interesting to them right now.  I know you teach it all but what's your favorite subject to teach them?

[Speaker 2] Science! It really blows their minds, and you can see it happen live! Watching that wonder really never gets old. Makes every long day worth it, you know?

[Speaker 1] I know!  Maybe I chose the wrong grade!  LOL.  But I get where you're coming from.  Not everyone like's reading but every now again I know I'm going to come across a few students that it will just click with them.  That day will be so rewarding to think that maybe we're inspiring a new round of future teachers!  Have you made the erupting volcano yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. I think I underestimated the amount of work. And when you find those kids who are budding authors who really flourish in your class, you'll be so sure you did the right thing. I'm sure of it!

I like reading.

I have just started a new job as a teacher. I am going to teach 9th grade English at high school.

I am reading the Dune book series. My favourite genres are fantasy and sci-fi. I want to expand the reading list my 9th graders read. I love to read the classics.

I love teaching. I love to see the spark in the kids.

My name is Sarah.

I like the book Dune. I have read a biography of Serena Williams and loved it. I like Shakespeare.

I love to teach my 5th graders about science. I love to see the kids learn.  I want to teach my students about volcanoes, by having them make one.

[Speaker 1] I found a really easy way to make volcanoes in a classroom setting. Do you want me to send you the link?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I would love to, what is special about this method ?

[Speaker 1] https://www.playosmo.com/kids-learning/how-to-make-a-volcano-for-kids/ here is the link you can use this method to make volcanos in the classroom?

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I will try it with my class. Have you thought about new books to add to your reading list ?

[Speaker 1] Yes I heard the author Kristin Hannah is very good at writing novels, have you every heard about her?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't heard anything about her, what is her style ?

[Speaker 1] Her style is love and family novels and they are always fiction. I might go with Shakespeare as well among which books do you like the most?

[Speaker 2] I really like Mark Twain, Roughn' it is really good but I don't think kids would like it, it is kind of slow. Shakespeare would be a good idea, you could make them read the book and see the movie after.

[Speaker 1] Yeah kids love watching movies but maybe Shakespeare is heavy to understand for them, do you think they would get bored when they are watching it because they do not understand?

[Speaker 2] Or make them act the play, they could ask question about the text when they rehearse with you.

[Speaker 1] That's an amazing idea I can make them play the Romeo and Juliet I am sure they would love this one!! Would you like me to send a video of then playing to you, that would be very fun!!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I would love too. Maybe I could also put up a play with my 5th graders, not a complete play, just a scene.

[Speaker 2] Yea, I like them but I prefer books personally. Especially about trains

English is not my first language.
I have a dog.
I am from Tokyo.
I live in Los Angeles.
I want to be an actor.
I like movies.

I have a dog named Percy.

I prefer books to movies. I'm interested in trains.

[Speaker 1] I got a callback for an acting audition!

[Speaker 2] Thats so awesome! Do you think you landed the gig? I hope so, you have worked so hard for this moment, have you talked to your family in Tokyo? I am sure they will be thrilled with this opportunity. Congratulations!

[Speaker 1] Thank you!  I think I have a good shot at it!  It's in an edgy movie and would be a great start in the industry.  They're looking for someone with a Japanese accent, so I'm definitely a good contender!  Want to get the dogs together for a play date this weekend?

[Speaker 2] edgy! Now, that sounds exciting. what is the genre movies? Awesome, the fact that you have a natural/organic Japanese accent puts in the forefront of the race. I feel you got it! Yes, we should definitely get together, I want to hear about your audition in detail, how many showed up for the auditions? I always hear its a mad house, I wished I had your confidence, I cannot even read in front of people, I become fluster rapidly.

[Speaker 1] What? I've seen you enthusiastically speak in front of your book club.  You definitely have confidence!  So it's sort-of an 'anime come to life'.  It starts as  a cartoon, but quickly shifts to a real-life story about a haunted town in Hawaii.  It's pretty neat.

[Speaker 2] Well, you know how enthusiastic I am about books, specially now that I am building my in home library. Plus, who are we kidding, most if not all members are cute little elderly ladies. I feel like I am talking in front of my grandmothers, lol, but thank you for confidence booster. I have not seen much of Anime, the only movie I am familiar with is Howls moving castle, Have you watched? I know, I know! your going to say what! I thought you were going to make time to watch more, im trying, maybe you can come over and put one on?

[Speaker 1] Haha...  yes!  Lets watch a movie this weekend. We'll bring the dogs to the park, then will grab takeout and watch some anime.  There's a good one involving trains... I know  you love trains!

[Speaker 2] I love trains! I always wished that, harry Potter train was real! can you imagine, maybe you can star in the up coming series based on the Harry potter movies, have you heard of it? and YES! please to take out, what are you in the mood for?

[Speaker 1] I think we should go for Japanese food to make a theme of the night.

[Speaker 2] Im all for it! a celebration get together for your successful casting! i have no doubt you made it! eeek, i cannot believe I am friends with someone who is going to be super famous! dont forget about me. when you become famous!

[Speaker 1] Haha!!  Thank  you!!!  You're getting me pretty excited  now, too!

[Speaker 2] I wonder if they will cast well known actors, who would you like to work with?

I have a dog.

I like movies. I am trying to land my first acting job.

I like Japanese food.

I have a dog named Percy.

I'm interested in trains.

I get flustered when reading in front of other people. I do not feel confident.

I love books. I am in a book club. I prefer books to movies.

[Speaker 1] I heard back! I got the job!!

[Speaker 2] Well done!! When do you start shooting the movie? Is it shooting in Los Angeles?

[Speaker 1] It's around mid-May, so a while to go yet. Yes! So convenient! Have you been reading anything good recently?

[Speaker 2] That's such good news, you must be so excited! I actually just finished a book for my book club and I really enjoyed it. We'll actually be meeting to discuss it tomorrow, so that's exciting. Unfortunately it wasn't about trains!

[Speaker 1] I am! Feels like the start of the rest of my life. What book was it? What was it about? When it's your turn you need to pick one on trains! I need to make time for reading, I keep defaulting to watching Netflix which is bad.

[Speaker 2] You're going to be a star in no time! It was actually a memoir by Chanel Miller, called Know My Name. It was harrowing but an incredible read, we did it for International Women's Day! Are you watching anything good on Netflix at the moment?

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a heavy one! I'll need to check it out. I'm watching Dark, have you heard of it? It's dubbed with English subtitles so allows my to practice my English.

[Speaker 2] Is that the one that's originally in German? I think I've heard of it. What's it about? I watch all of my TV with subtitles. Makes it more like reading!

[Speaker 1] Yes that's it. It's very good. The acting is great as well so I can kid myself on that I'm doing research. It's about boys who go missing in a small town.

[Speaker 2] Well you research must be paying off since you got that role! That sounds interesting, I might have to watch it one time! One of my favourite book series is being made into a Netflix show that comes out in April, so I'll definitely be watching that!

[Speaker 1] I'd like to think so. Definitely give it a go, maybe watch it during the day though as it's fairly dark and grim. Aw that's awesome, what's the book series?

[Speaker 2] I'll definitely make sure to watch it when it's light out. It's called Shadow and Bone, it's a fantasy series. I'm hoping it will live up to the books, but I always find myself disappointed with adaptations.

English is not my first language. I am from Tokyo. I live in Los Angeles. I have family in Toyko. I am Japanese. I like Japanese food.

I have a dog.

I like movies. I got my first acting job. I will start to shoot a movie in May.  Shooting is in Los Angeles. I am excited for my job.

I need to make time for reading.  I watch Netflix instead.

I am watching Dark on Netflix.  I get to practice my English as it is dubbed with English subtitles.

I think Dark is fairly dark and grim.

I have a dog named Percy.

I just finished a book. It was not about trains. I like trains.

My book was a memoir by Chanel Miller.  We read it for International Women's Day.

I watch all of my TV with subtitles. My favorite books series is being made into a Netflix show. I will watch Dark while its light out.  My favorite book series is Shadow and Bone.  I hope the show lives up to the standard of the book.

[Speaker 1] I took my dog on a hike this week, we had fun.  I also got to go have a Japanese meal, it made me think of my family back in Tokyo.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great day. My dog really enjoys it when we spend time together. What kind of Japanese food did you order?

[Speaker 1] Sushi, of course! Although it was California rolls, which aren't really authentic. That's fine, though. Have you tried sushi before?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, a few of my friends especially love sushi, so we get it all the time. I think the place we usually go to is pretty authentic.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! I could really eat it every day, to be honest. Hey, did you finish Dark yet? I'm almost finished with the last season now.

[Speaker 2] I've only watched the first episode so far, but it seems pretty interesting. I am looking forward to watching some more of it later today!

[Speaker 1] Wow, so you haven't gotten to some of the best parts yet! It was a super surprising series for me. Are you watching anything else lately? I need to add to my queue!

[Speaker 2] I've also started watching Black Mirror fairly recently. My friends kept talking about it, but I never really got into it back then. I'm giving it another try now though and really enjoying it.

[Speaker 1] Same for me! I liked it at first, but it actually made me a little depressed because it really does mirror the real world in many ways. I prefer to escape from reality when I'm watching TV!

[Speaker 2] I guess that makes sense with you being an actor and all. Escaping from reality is your job!

[Speaker 1] That's a good point, haha! I guess I get to escape whether I'm performing or watching a performance, same both ways. It's quite fun, really. Maybe you could try it sometime to get over your nervousness in front of an audience. Something silly, like improv comedy even!

[Speaker 2] It seems hard to believe that could work for me, but maybe it's worth a try. It'd be nice to have a little more confidence after all.

[Speaker 1] It's a Boba tea that has tangerine flavoring.

[Speaker 2] Is it a cold tea or a hot tea? Hey so I was curious about how long that you have been riding your motorcycle for?

[Speaker 1] It's a cold tea. Do you prefer hot or cold? I've been riding for about 8 years now.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, I'll definitely have to try it out, I'm kind of picky when it comes to trying new things lol. You ever had any close calls on that bike?

[Speaker 1] A few but those are the risks you take as a motorcycle rider. I wear a helmet at all times of course but it's just like riding a car, you have to be a defensive driver.

[Speaker 1] So do you prefer hot or cold teas?

[Speaker 2] I like both but more so hot teas. But I like cold tea's with alcohol in them! How about you?

[Speaker 1] I like both too. I like the traditional Asian teas like Assam. I've never had tea with alcohol in it before. Where did you first try that?

[Speaker 2] A long island ice tea is a good one, first time I tried it was in the Caribbean. It's very refreshing. So are you dating anyone these days?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm still single. I would like to be with someone. It's just hard to meet the right person. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I met someone at a museum the other day. We grabbed a tea and had a ling chat, I have seen him a few times since.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice. I hope it works out. Does he seem to have the same interests as you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he actually illustrates children's books, so it may work out for me! But he also likes to bike, so when the weather gets nice I think we will go for some rides.

[Speaker 1] Cool, that sounds great. It's great when you hit it off with someone. I find with my anxiety I just get to too nervous. Any tips?

[Speaker 2] Try some long island ice tea! Nah seriously just relax and know someone is out there for you, just a matter of time.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, maybe I just need to build up my confidence. I tried talking to someone the other day when I was walking Oreo. She was nice but I didn't ask for her number.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I know the feeling, can you look her up on facebook and contact her for some chit chat? That can be easier than face to face at first.

[Speaker 2] Hi how is your weekend going?

[Speaker 1] It is going well. I am hungry I've been on a diet

[Speaker 2] That's tough do you have something to take your mind off it?

[Speaker 1] Just working around the house. Being a housewife keeps you busy

[Speaker 2] Do you have any pets? I've a dog.

[Speaker 1] Not at the moment. I like dogs

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking of starting up a pet sitting service. I need some money

[Speaker 1] That could be handy for someone

[Speaker 2] Yep, what do you do for work, just a housewife?

[Speaker 1] Yes 32 years old and a housewife for 10 years

[Speaker 2] I see. You got married quite young then.

[Speaker 1] How about you are you married or are you single?

[Speaker 2] Not married I live at home with 2 siblings.

[Speaker 1] I see its great to have brothers and sisters

[Speaker 2] I agree, but not always having to live with them is good,

I am on a diet.

I have no pets. I like dogs.

I have a dog.

I am not married. I have two siblings that I live with.

[Speaker 1] Do your siblings like your dog?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes they do and they plan on helping out whenever I start the pet sitting business

[Speaker 1] That is great to have a support network like that. I hope to get a dog one day. What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] chicuahua, I love my dog to death. He is very playful and understanding.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok that's awesome. Do you recommend chihuahuas as a breed to get?

[Speaker 2] Yea, you cannot go wrong with them. I have had a wonderful experience with mine , are you looking forward to getting a dog ?

[Speaker 1] Yes very much! I know it will be a lot of work at first and an adjustment, but I think it will be worth it overall. Do you have a job currently?

[Speaker 2] No , I'm still looking and that's why I am considering the pet sitting business, you said you are married, do you have kids ?

[Speaker 1] I do, three children. They are great, they always make me laugh. I homeschool them right now, it's a lot of work but so much fun to see them learning. I imagine it's similar with a dog when you train it and work with it.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, so happy for you . I'm the children are your world. Kids adore pet a lot and I'm sure they will be happy to help out if you ahead and get one, don't you think ?

[Speaker 1] Yes they are all getting to an age where they are really getting better with responsibilities. They will love a dog. I hope your pet sitting business is successful. .

[Speaker 2] Oh that's good. Thanks for the support , I hope turns out well, it will help me keep my head above water

I am on a diet.

I have no pets. I like dogs.

I am 32. I've been a housewife since I was 22.I am married and have 3 children. I homeschool them.

I have a dog. My dog is a chihuahua.

I do not have a job. I'm low on money. I want to start a pet sitting service.

[Speaker 1] How has the job search been going?

[Speaker 2] hard I keep wanted to stop but my siblings keep encouraging me and I have a dog to support. Wish I had the guts to start my business, but like most I am all talk

[Speaker 1] Don't worry, a job will come along. It can be difficult to start a business when you have no start up money though so you should keep looking. What kind of jobs have you applied for?

[Speaker 2] Just a bunch of entry level McJobs. I don't say that in a negative way. I will work anything happily if I ever get in the door. You ever do anyting other than work aroudn the house?

[Speaker 1] I also do part time work. I know how hard it is to find entry level work. Those kinds of jobs can have a lot of applicants. Have you tried applying for office assistants? That's how I got money when I was in college. It's mostly just photocopying and making coffee.

[Speaker 2] I would that kind of job. did you go through a temp agency? I have been thinking that I will try one even though they subtract fees from your pay

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I went through an agency. I actually was registered at a couple of agencies and I just took the first job that one was able to find. They didn't take so much from me so it was okay. have you ever worked before?

[Speaker 2] No. Which I think makes it hard to get through the application process. and maybe why an agency would be better. How is someone suppose to get experience working if no one will hire them. Which came first the chicken or the egg. ugh

[Speaker 1] I know, tell me about it! I was a housewife not long after I left college so I only ever wanted to have a part time job. But part time jobs want people with full time experience! I would recommend an agency though, you just send them one resume and attend one interview and they do the rest

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the positive thoughts. I need it. I been having such a hard day. NO job. and my dog is acting so hyper. sometimes. how do you handle being a mother

[Speaker 1] I can give the kids their ipads and I usually get half an hour of peace and quiet. I imagine you can't get the same response giving an ipad to a dog!

[Speaker 2] maybe a picture of a bone or a video of a cat. but maybe not. I love him but his not the smartest

[Speaker 1] What are you going to tell me

[Speaker 2] Today, I found out how to cure the cold!

[Speaker 1] What is the cure? Tell me.

[Speaker 2] No. It will be used to help me take over the world. Join me.

[Speaker 1] Why do you want to take over the world

[Speaker 2] To give red heads like me more power.

[Speaker 1] That sounds very interesting. Why?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure. Just feels right. Tell me about yourself. You might be a good fit.

[Speaker 1] I like to do experiments and cook

[Speaker 2] Oh, experiments might be helpful taking over the world. I sing in the shower. Is that okay?

[Speaker 1] I do not really care

[Speaker 2] Good. We shall work great together.

[Speaker 1] I do not know about that

[Speaker 2] Why not? I'll call you lollipop. I'm called bubblegum.

I like cooking.

[Speaker 1] Today I cooked the best Bacon Carbonara, it was great! Do you like bacon?

[Speaker 2] I love bacon! I would love to try your Carbonara. Do you have any left?

[Speaker 1] yes i have some leftovers and i know you will enjoy them

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I'll bring over some drinks. What inspired you to make the dish?

[Speaker 1] I used to see my grandma make them for us when i was growing up

[Speaker 2] Oh that's amazing. I'm guessing that's where you got your love for cooking.

[Speaker 1] yes. what songs do you sing while taking a shower?

[Speaker 2] Any and everything! I listen to a lot of pop, so I usually sing that, but sometimes I'll make up my own tunes. It's like my own personal concert, haha.

[Speaker 1] that's seems interesting. what cure for cold have you found?

[Speaker 2] Much simpler than expected actually. Having a diet high in Vitamin C effectively strengthens the immune system against colds.

[Speaker 1] that's sounds easy to do. Is it really effective?

[Speaker 2] It is! Of course that's not a guarantee against new strains, but it is certainly helpful against known cold viruses.

[Speaker 2] Well...my plan has been foiled...I'm giving up on that.  I think I will just get a job instead.

[Speaker 1] Ok. What kind of job do you want?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking something in IT.  I have some experience but no formal training.  Have you been cooking anything lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I made a stir fry tonight with pork tenderloin and udon noodles.

[Speaker 2] oh, that sounds great!  I love stir fry.  Have you tried putting any bacon in it, since you like it so much?

[Speaker 1] I do love bacon but I don't think it goes with Chinese food. I tend to use pork belly instead.

[Speaker 2] That's true.  I have a friend who makes his own bacon from pork belly.  It is some of the best stuff you have ever tasted.

[Speaker 1] That does sound delicious. Does it take a long time to make?

[Speaker 2] The longest part of the process is letting it sit in a brine for 7 days.  It's actually pretty simple, if you are patient. I bet its the kind of bacon your grandma would have used back in the day.

[Speaker 1] I might look into it further. Have you been singing any new songs in the shower lately?

[Speaker 2] I'm always singing.  The problem is I never know the name of songs and usually I can only remember one or two lines.  I just keep repeating them over and over...

[Speaker 1] Great! Do you like it?

[Speaker 2] Its quite boring but getting people the medicine they need is quite rewarding

I am a Michigan state trooper.

My favorite cake is chocolate with extra frosting.

I have 4 daughters. I have two Siberian huskies.

I play guitar.

I love Italian food.

I am not married. I do not have any kids.

I love to read. I love to play racquetball. I love to watch crime and trivia tv shows.

I work at a pharmaceutical company.

My job is boring, but rewarding.

[Speaker 1] I had some down time in the last few days, so I decided to watch a few trivia game shows. I am hooked now! I can see why you enjoy watching them so much.

[Speaker 2] ooh nice. Did you watch them with your daughters?

[Speaker 1] Just the one that's not in school yet. We watched a lot of Jeopardy. It's weird now though, with the new host and all.

[Speaker 2] We will get used to the new host too. How often do you take the huskies for a walk?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, eventually. As for the dogs, at least twice a day, more if I'm not on deployment. What's it like working for a pharmaceutical company?

[Speaker 2] It is certainly not as exciting as yours. The days are usually too long, as we are not so busy. how are your days like?

[Speaker 1] Well I just got back from helping with the wildfire relief effort. Fairly exhausting overall but I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

I am a Michigan state trooper.

I play guitar.

I like watching television.

I love Italian food.

I work at a pharmaceutical company. My job is boring, but rewarding.

I enjoy watching trivia game shows.

[Speaker 1] How has your work been? Slow as usual, or has it picked up?

[Speaker 2] The drug business is always good, you should know that, I see big time busts in the paper all the time.

[Speaker 1] yeah but I'm just one trooper and most of the time I am just patrolling or give out tickets. the paper makes it seem exciting but it is very routine with moments of excitment.

[Speaker 2] Gee, not like TV. lol....has Huskie shedding season started yet? I keep seeing signs of Spring.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it has begun. two dogs, for daughters lots of hair. I have become the master of the vacuum!

[Speaker 2] I got one of those tub strainer thingees on Amazon to keep the hair out of my shower drain. It works pretty good but can't stop everything. I still end up plunging and adding drain cleaner.

[Speaker 1] what! I just recently got one too. Its called the TUBscroom. It is brilliant. you do not know how many times I have taken a plunger, drain-o etc. to the tub. agian, four daughters, love 'em but hair everywhere

[Speaker 2] That sounds like the name of the thing I got, I'm not sorry I bought it. Hey, I know you like to put your feet up after dinner. Did you hear that Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be a guest host on Jeopardy?

[Speaker 1] No. I'm not the trivia guy like you. I'm more GOT. but tell me more. Who is Aaron Rodgers. And better yet can anyone ever replace Alex Trebeck?

[Speaker 2] Rodgers is the QB for the Green Bay Packers, I guess they asked him because they couldn't get Matthew Stafford. Rodgers or anybody else can't really replace Trebeck. Give up on the GoT - its done, and not very satisfying at the end.

[Speaker 1] Watched it to the end, agree that the end was disappointing but is was a great ride. I would not ask for a refund. QB are generally the smartest players on the field is Rodgers also and academic?

[Speaker 2] Pretty much everybody in the NFL went to college - some only to play football. I have to agree that QB's are the smart ones, incidentally they get the big money. I doubt Rodgers is doing Jeopardy cuz he needs the paycheck.

[Speaker 1] Hey, what are you up to today

[Speaker 2] I was thinking I might go explore the big city I now live in, you?

[Speaker 1] Where is that? Thinking I will go grab lunch, I hate cooking!

[Speaker 2] San francisco. I just graduated from college and moved here.

[Speaker 1] Oh I have never been! Don't travel much, I love my animals too much lol

[Speaker 2] I'm hoping to get a job teaching elementary school kids here

[Speaker 1] Hey I am an elementary teacher! The 2nd graders keep me busy!

[Speaker 2] You are?? What was your major? Mine was american literature and education

[Speaker 1] Elementary education with math major. Pretty boring lol

[Speaker 2] Well, what do you enjoy on the weekends? I love to hike

[Speaker 1] I run to lose weight, hard for me! I am slow cuz I am so shore

[Speaker 2] I am short too! We should hang out sometimes

[Speaker 1] I think we have a lot in common. How old are you?

[Speaker 2] I am 27, how old are you?

I hate cooking.

I have animals. I don't travel much and have never been to San Francisco.

I am an elementary teacher. I teach 2nd grade.

In college I studied elementary education with a major in math.

I recently moved to San Francisco. I recently graduated from college.

I hope to get a job as an elementary teacher.

My college majors were american literature and education.

I love to hike at weekends.

I am short.

I am 27 years old.

[Speaker 1] I lost a pound since we last talked.

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

[Speaker 1] I had been eating less junk food recently. I miss eating my chocolate though. How's everything with you?

[Speaker 2] Well done to you. It is a massive achievement. I have been quite busy looking for a job. I have sent many CV around. Hopefully I will get soon an answer back.

[Speaker 1] Ya hopefully! Did you apply to a lot of teaching positions or did you apply to other jobs?

[Speaker 2] Both actually, you know better than me that getting a teaching position is a tedious and long process. In the time being, I still need to pay my bills so I have applied as part-time waiter in a couple of restaurants close my house.

[Speaker 1] I see. How long has it been since you applied to those jobs?

[Speaker 2] Just few days so I still have hope to be called for an interview. What about your job instead? Are you enjoying the work with your students?

[Speaker 1] Ah, hopefuly you hear back soon. Teaching 2nd grade students is amazing. It can be pretty chaotic sometimes but I always finish the day with a smile.

[Speaker 2] I am so envy! you can't imagine how much I wish to have your same feeling. Being helpful for my students and being able to transmit to them all my knowledge.

[Speaker 1] You'll get that feeling soon! Is there a specific grade you want to teach?

[Speaker 2] Maybe you forgot, but I told you already last time that my dream is to work as elementary teacher, like my mother. I really like the idea to be part of the base formation of my students.

I hate cooking.

I recently graduated from college and moved to San Francisco.

I love to hike at weekends.

I am short.

I am 27 years old.

[Speaker 1] I'm really missing chocolate today, I'm very tempted to cheat on my diet and have a bar!

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could have just a piece of a bar? Everything in moderation!

[Speaker 1] That's a good attitude to have! If I spend some extra time running it'll hopefully balance out. I know you hike, but do you run much?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I am not a big fan of running. My cardio isn't the best. Hiking gives you similar benefits. We should go for a hike soon!

[Speaker 1] That's super fair! I'd love to go for a hike soon–that sounds like tons of fun.

[Speaker 2] You should visit San Francisco soon! We have so many great places to hike around northern California. Or we could meet up somewhere closer to you!

[Speaker 1] I've been wanting to take a trip out to San Francisco anyways, so that would be awesome! What are your favorite trails up there?

[Speaker 2] Bakers beach has a lot of connecting trails with ocean views. We will HAVE to go there!

[Speaker 1] Yes!! I love seeing the ocean–I miss being a little kid on beach vacations.

[Speaker 2] When is your spring break? Will you have time off then? We could plan for that week!

[Speaker 1] My spring break is the second week of April. Let's do it! Does that week work for you?

[Speaker 2] It all depends on if I find a job! That should work though. I am SO excited!

I hate cooking.

I want to lose weight. I am short. I run. I lost a pound recently. I have been eating less junk food but I do miss eating chocolate. I am on a diet. I miss chocolate. I want to spend extra time running to balance out eating chocolate.

I do not live close to California. I want to take a trip to San Francisco.

I like seeing the ocean. I miss beach vacations as a kid.

I have a week off for spring break in April.

I love to hike at weekends.

I am short.

I am 27 years old.

I have been quite busy looking for a job. I have sent many CV's around to both teaching and non-teaching positions. I have also applied for a part-time waiter job in a couple of restaurants close to me. I want to be an elementary teacher like my mother.

I hike, but I do not like to run. I live in San Francisco and like to hike in northern California. I like trails with ocean views.

[Speaker 1] Any news about the job search?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I got an interview for a teaching position. I am so excited!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome news! Is the interview for an elementary school position?

[Speaker 2] Yes it is. I am quite nervous though. Any recommendations for the interview? How did yours go when you got your job as an elementary teacher?

[Speaker 1] I'd say be yourself, and be honest. I'd also suggest not being very chatty. Answer the questions asked, elaborating if/when necessary.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I will try that. Did you have to do any teaching as part of the process?

[Speaker 1] I did actually. I "subbed" a couple classes as a part of my hiring process, it's standard in this district.

[Speaker 2] I think I am alright with this. Teaching feel very natural so I have no problem teaching a few classes. I asked my mum for advice but she went through the process so long ago she had no idea.
