I just graduated high school.

I've been stuck in this tiny town for too long.

I'm going on a cross-country trip and never coming back.

I might write my parents a post card some time.

Whatever, I can't wait to be staying under the stars.

[Speaker 1] Hi, my name is many.

[Speaker 2] Hello there many. I'm thomas. Tell me about yourself.

[Speaker 1] I am fed up in my home town and need to escape.

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear that. What do you do there? I am a marketing major.

[Speaker 1] I have just finished high school and need to travel.

[Speaker 2] You should do that!! I love to travel and learn different languages.

[Speaker 1] I think I will never come back and always keep moving.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any hobbies. Baseball is a favorite of mine.

[Speaker 1] Yes astronomy, looking at the sky at night.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can travel to the moon one day. I hope to be an ad designer.

[Speaker 1] What is the best thing you have designed?

[Speaker 2] I have just designed architecture in college. Do you work?

[Speaker 1] No not yet but still looking.

[Speaker 2] Perhaps travel and then find a job..

I'm Thomas.

I work in marketing.

Baseball is my hobby.

I would like to work in ad design.

I designed architecture in college.

[Speaker 1] Hello Thomas, have you traveled to any where new lately?

[Speaker 2] Hi Many, haven't heard from you in a while! Recently haven't been doing as much traveling but I've been trying to pick up some French and have been watching a lot of French films recently.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun! Do you have any recommendations for some good French films.

[Speaker 2] I really like the film Les Quatre Cents Coups, I am hoping to travel where it was filmed sometime this summer. What about you? Have you moved any where new since we last spoke?

[Speaker 1] I'll have to check that one out sometime. I haven't gone anywhere new recently, but I started planning a trip to Nevada in a few days. If I like it, I could end up moving there sometime soon.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I was really interested in casino architecture in college so I got to study Las Vegas and Carson City a lot. I hear it's super pretty, lots of vibrant colors.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am so exited! You should go sometime. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check out the Vegas strip well I'm there. I also plan on doing some camping out in the desert and doing some star gazing.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's going to be amazing the stars are gonna be so clear. Especially in a new place like that, you'll be able to see whole new constellations.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I want to move there. I would also love to try and get a job in astronomy since there are so many good institutions in Nevada. Plus, who doesn't want to go UFO hunting.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, I hope you do get a job at observatory down there that would be so cool! I will have to come check it out sometime.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I could show you some constellations with my new telescope I just got.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to plan a trip down there once it cools off a little.

My name is Many.

I designed architecture in college. I was interested in casino architecture in college. I studied in Las Vegas and Carson City.

I haven't been traveling lately, but I've been studying French.

I like the film Les Quatre Cents Coups.

[Speaker 1] I finally made plans for my Nevada trip. Want to hear about it?

[Speaker 2] You did. Please tell me more. I want to know all the details.

[Speaker 1] I plan on leaving this weekend. We are going to go to Vegas and also go hiking.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun. How many days are you going for?

[Speaker 1] We are thinking of staying for 3 weeks maybe. But we will be there for 2 at the most. I am hoping I can win some money while in Vegas, but also can't wait to see the shows.

[Speaker 2] That will be amazing to be in Vegas for 2 or even 3 weeks. Sounds like so much fun. Do you already have your room and stuff booked?

[Speaker 1] Yes, we booked it last night. Plus already have tickets to 3 different shows. We are going to go see Brittany.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. Wish I could join. Maybe next time. Who is all going with you?

[Speaker 1] We can use another person if you want to go. Make things cheaper for all of us as then we can split it 4 ways instead of 3. We got a group package and it has tickets for at least 5 people. We were going to sell the other ones.

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be amazing. I would love to go. Where should I meet you at?

[Speaker 1] I can come pick you up the night before and you can stay at my house. We are getting a big van so we can all ride together. You will owe $300 for you part of the tickets. And of course you have to buy your own meals. We will take turn paying for gas.

[Speaker 2] Okay, that sounds good. Do you want cash or cash app? Either is fine with me. I am so excited to go. It is going to be so much fun.

My name is Many.

I don't like where I live.

I am a high school graduate.

I enjoy living in new places.

I'm planning a trip to Nevada in a few days. I'm going to camp in the desert on my trip and hopefully visit Vegas. I like to gamble. I enjoy shows in Vegas.

I'm Thomas.

I work in marketing.

Baseball is my hobby.

I would like to work in ad design.

I like the film Les Quatre Cents Coups.

Paying $300 for Vegas trip tickets to join his friend. Taking turns paying for gas. Must pay for their own meals. All riding together in a big van. Getting picked up the night before their Vegas trip, and staying with speaker 1.

[Speaker 1] Our trip starts tomorrow! I will be there later today to pick you up so we can get on the road! Do not forget your tickets are paid for, I'll send your confirmation numbers to you. Also we are splitting gas, and do not forget bring money for anything you may want to eat or buy while we are there! See you soon!

[Speaker 2] Sounds good! Do you have a suggestion on how much money I will need to bring? Are we planning any special restaurants to visit that might be more expensive then I should expect?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any special restaurants in mind, but I was about to ask you the same question, since you spent all that time in Nevada while in college.

[Speaker 2] Well, one of my favorite restaurants is in Vegas. It's called Lotus of Siam. Its not super expensive. I would say its about 25 dollars a plate. Do you like oriental foods? I think its technically considered fusion.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that sounds good. Is it a buffet? I've got to sample some of those famous Las Vegas buffets. lol!

[Speaker 2] Its not a buffet. This is a sit down restaurant and the last time I was there they didn't take reservations because they are so popular. They close between Lunch and Dinner to prep for each meal. So, we will have to get there about 30 minutes before they open. It is worth every minute though. It will blow your socks off compared to the buffet line.

[Speaker 1] We can pretend to be senior citizens trying to take advantage of early bird hours. LOL! That sounds good. I love trying new food, so I'm game! Are you going to gamble much?

[Speaker 2] I think I will. How much money do you think I should bring for gambling?

[Speaker 1] I've been saving up, so I'm going to bring about $1,000. I like to play blackjack and poker.

[Speaker 2] Alright. I'll bring $1,000 for gambling as well. I'm really excited for the trip and I'm going to go ahead and pack those tickets right now so I don't forget to bring them.

[Speaker 1] Good man!  After all, if we lose too much money, we can always just sleep in the van. lol!

[Speaker 2] Oh my! I guess I should also pack a sleeping bag then.

My name is Many.

I don't like where I live.

I am a high school graduate.

I enjoy living in new places.

Our trip starts tomorrow. I will pick up you and don't forgot your money as well as ticket. we will split the gas.

I know some famous  Las Vegas buffets. I love trying new food.

I'm going to use $1,000 to play blackjack and poker.

I'm Thomas.

I work in marketing.

Baseball is my hobby.

I would like to work in ad design.

I like the film Les Quatre Cents Coups.

my favorite restaurants is  Lotus of Siam in Vegas. It is only $25 for a plate of food.

I going to gamble in this trip. I'll bring $1,000 for gambling.

[Speaker 1] Did you get $1000 for tomorrow?

[Speaker 2] yeah, I've got the money. I'm really looking forward to this trip. What buffet are we going to first?

[Speaker 1] The Bacchanal at Caesar's Palace will be the first one-they have an amazing strip steak, roasted chicken, and the desserts are out of this world!

[Speaker 2] that sounds incredible, I hope you're feeling hungry! Is there anything else you'd like to do in vegas while we aren't gambling or eating?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about having a party. I know people there, and a wicked DJ. We could get some live shows or go to a rock concert!

[Speaker 2] I'm always up for a party sounds good to me! I think it would be bad if we didn't go and get our pictures taken at the famous sign as well

[Speaker 1] Yes, the sign, and the Grand Canyon is only 2hrs away, so we can stop there as well! Also, the Venetian has unique architecture for you to enjoy, and we could ride a Gondola!

[Speaker 2] grand canyon looks class, always wanted to go there. My uncle recommended taking the helicopter ride over the canyon, so if we do well in the casinos we could do that

[Speaker 1] Yes, and if we lose, we can pretend we're a poor, starving, arts major, and go to the art district-I saw some really kickass designs last time I was there!

[Speaker 2] sounds like the perfect plan! Are you bringing your telescope? surely you'd get a good look at the stars when we're out at night in the desert

[Speaker 1] I will bring my smaller one-the desert sky is very clear, and it has some amazing views! You can see the planets and parts of the galaxy very well through the crystal clear sky, but we have to be away from the light pollution in the city. We should see the Hoover dam too!

[Speaker 2] excellent, I'd be really interested to learn some more from you about astronomy! And in return I can try and give you some insight into the construction of the dam


I will be going to college next year.

I study neuroscience and volunteer in a research lab.

I am working on becoming an eagle scout.

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I like to eat ice cream.

My favorite song is moonlight sonata by beethoven.

I drive a volkswagen beetle.

My grandmother came from italy.

I own two handguns.

I only watch british television.

I have parents.

I work in a restaurant that also sells ice-cream.

I have a grandmother who lived in Italy and attended college there.

I have a Volkswagen Beetle.

[Speaker 1] I cannot wait to see what the college life looks like.

[Speaker 2] Yes my grand mum enjoyed her college like in italy.

[Speaker 1] I bet it is fun there. I love my course of study too.

[Speaker 2] What is it that you have decided to study?

[Speaker 1] Neuroscience. I want to be a volunteer in research..

[Speaker 2] That is a respectful choice. Are you going to buy a car at college.

[Speaker 1] Well, if my parent can afford to get me one.

[Speaker 2] You could always save and use your own money. Too old to be dependant.

[Speaker 1] Of course yes, maybe I can raise some where I work.

[Speaker 2] Volkswagen beetles are cute and affordable. It's what I drive.

[Speaker 1] I can look into it, if I can afford such.

[Speaker 2] Where is it that you work then?

[Speaker 1] It is a restaurant. They sell ice cream too..

[Speaker 2] What kind of flavours and what is the hourly wage?

I have parents.

I have a Volkswagen Beetle.

[Speaker 1] What do you like so much about your car that makes you recommend it?

[Speaker 2] It's the perfect size, it gets great gas mileage, and...well...it's just so cute!

[Speaker 1] Gas mileage is definitely important since I don't have much leftover money. My college tuition is really expensive, and I'm not sure I'll be able to handle keeping my job and also working towards such a time consuming degree. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] That would be the perfect car for you then!  I am trying to get into nursing, but I'm spending most of my time as a barista a "U, Me....Coffee!"  It's not too far from the college.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! My friend used to be a barista at "Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf". He'd get us discounts all the time which was awesome. A lot of the customers were really rude though. Do you enjoy being a barista? Any rude customers that frequent the shop?

[Speaker 2] That is a nice place too! You have some of the sweetest people that come by and a couple regulars who always give me a little extra spare change. Sadly there are some nasty ones that are unhappy about everything it seems.

[Speaker 1] Oh good! I always wondered why customers who are never happy always seem to return. We have some cranky regulars at the restaurant, but the sweet customers (especially during senior discount promotions) usually make it worth it.

[Speaker 2] Oh absolutely.  I guess you get that with all jobs.  When does college start by the way?

I will be starting college soon.I like what I am studying. I am studying Neuroscience to become a volunteer in research. My tuition is expensive.

I have parents.

I have a Volkswagen Beetle.

I'm trying to get into nursing. I am a barista.

[Speaker 1] I'm going to look at the car you recommended later today. What else can you tell me about it?

[Speaker 2] It gets excellent gas mileage, it has electric locks and windows, heated seats for the winter and cooling seats for the summer. It has been said to be one of the safe cars on the market.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really good.  I hope that my test drive goes well and I get financed within my budget.   I will need to great gas mileage going back and forth to school.

[Speaker 2] It should go great and I am sure you will be financed. The people are really great and try to make sure they can help everyone. And if I can be financed so can you.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the vote of confidence.  How's your job going?

[Speaker 2] It is going great. It is helping me get through school so that is the important part. I don't want to be a barista for the rest of my life, but it is fun for now.

[Speaker 1] I know that's right.  What nursing programs are you interested in?

[Speaker 2] I want to be a child nurse. I just rather work with children.

[Speaker 1] That would be great.  Pediatric nurses are in high demand.  I am sure you'll be awesome.

[Speaker 2] Thank you I am just glad I can take night classes so that I can still work and pay by bills.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is a blessing.  Since we are both going into medical we should have a study session together.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be great. I'm sure we are going to have to take a bunch of the same classes. We should try and take them together.

I have parents.

I am looking for a new car. I am planning to have my new car financed. I commute to school regularly.

I am pursing a career in the medical field.

I have a Volkswagen Beetle.

I'm trying to get into nursing. I work as a barista to help me pay for school.

I have previously had a car financed.

I would like to work as a nurse for children.

I am taking night classes at my school and working during the days as a barista. I am taking classes related to the medical field.

[Speaker 1] I followed up on the car you recommended.

[Speaker 2] Nice.  Did you do more research on it other than what I had sent to you?  What color is it and did you get a lot of options?

[Speaker 1] I did a little research. I think I want a dark gray one. I haven't gone to the dealership yet so I'm not sure what options I'll get with it.

[Speaker 2] Consider looking into a slightly used one, with low miles and still under warranty.  You can get a great car for thousands less than a new car.  Keep more money in your pocket.  That extra cask will come in handy with you going to college.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's a great tip. I didn't even consider doing that. makes sense though. they lose so much value as soon as you drive them off the lot.

[Speaker 2] That is very true.  I bought a new car once and it was painful!  Lesson learned.  I have been reading some neuroscience articles.  It is pretty crazy what scientists are doing today.  The whole planting sensors in brains and connecting them to computers wirelessly is amazing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the technology they are figuring out is crazy. never thought 20 years ago we'd be to this point.

[Speaker 2] Any particular area you are interested in?  Probably a lot of options for you.  You will be busy staying up with all the progress!

[Speaker 1] I have a few I'm considering but not sure which area to pick just yet. I think I need to look at what the classes needed for each one are first and where the research is needed most before I decide.

[Speaker 2] That makes perfect sense.  Maybe you will invent the first brain-car interface and get your new car to take you where you want to go by just thinking about it.  That would be cool!

[Speaker 1] that would be fun. maybe this will be real tech in 20 years.

[Speaker 2] I hope it is sooner.  How is your job?  You get any new ice cream flavors in?

I have parents.

I did a little research. I may get a dark gray car. I have not gone to a dealership and do not know my options.

I have not picked an area to study or looked at the classes.

I have a Volkswagen Beetle.

I have previously had a car financed.

I am knowledgable about saving money when buying a car.

I read neuroscience articles.

[Speaker 1] I did more research on the used cars at the dealership. I think I will be buying one soon.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! Have you narrowed it down to a few?

[Speaker 1] Yes, there are a couple that look like they fit my budget. I will probably decide soon! What are you doing this weekend?

[Speaker 2] I would love to help you get that car! I could learn a lot. Do you like Subarus?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I like Subarus! They are nice for camping. Not sure I can afford one though, haha. Anyway it would be great to have help deciding!

[Speaker 2] They have a great preowned/certified program. Might be worth it to pay a little more for a car that will last all of time.

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! Haha, this is why I need help, because I had no idea. And I'm never sure whether I can trust the used car salespeople because they're just trying to make money! What do you like about your car?

[Speaker 2] I like the fancy safety things, like backup camera. I had to get used as well to be able to afford but WORTH IT

[Speaker 1] Yeah those backup cameras are so cool! It feels like playing a videogame, hahaha. I would love to have one of those! Have you ever had a car with a sunroof?

[Speaker 2] Hahaha the "don't hit a toddler" game! Hahahaha. My car now has a huge sunroof! I rarely use. What do you like about them?

[Speaker 1] Haha yes I love trying to beat my high score in the "don't hit a toddler game"! I just think the sunroof feels like, it makes the car feel less closed in. I guess I'm a little claustrophobic maybe!

[Speaker 2] Hahahaha you crack me up! That is interesting! I need to open up the cover more and enjoy the light. It just makes everything so...bright!


I have 2 brothers older than me.

My dad was a farmer back in the day.

I recently moved to a new city.

I drove 1000 miles to see my favorite band play.

I am a college student.
I enjoy playing soccer.
My mother runs a school.
I am an only child.
I am currently unemployed.

I moved to a new city. I don't have friends or a job.

I have 2 older brothers.

My dad has a farm.

I'm a band groupie and drove a thousand miles to see them. I'm tired. I get up at 5am to milk cows.

I am a college soccer player with no time. I don't have a job.

I am an only child.

My mom ran a private catholic school. My dad was a doctor.

I travel a lot all over the country.  I am either traveling for soccer or studying. My season is wrapping up soon.

[Speaker 1] Hi there I moved to a new city and am friendless and jobless, how are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm good! I'm jobless too, but only because I'm a college soccer player. No time.

[Speaker 1] One of my two older brothers is a soccer player! The other is in prison.

[Speaker 2] Oh, sorry to hear that. I'm an only child. Never had to deal with siblings.

[Speaker 1] My dad wanted to have lots of kids to help him take care of the farm.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. My mom ran a private catholic school. My dad was a doctor.

[Speaker 1] I'm a band groupie, just drove a thousand miles to see them. I'm tired!

[Speaker 2] Lol, sounds fun. I travel a lot. Playing soccer, I travel all over the country.

[Speaker 1] Yes it's really the good life I think.

[Speaker 2] I'm either always travelling for soccer or studying in my dorm. Eh, it gets old.

[Speaker 1] Getting up at 5am to milk the cows on dad's farm gets old too.

[Speaker 2] Lol, I bet! Do not envy you there. Get some rest after all that travelling!

[Speaker 1] Thanks I hope I will!

[Speaker 2] My season is wrapping up soon. Once that's done, then it's finals and the summer!

I have 2 older brothers.

My dad has a farm.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] I got some rest and planned my next trip to see a band.

[Speaker 2] Good! I know it's been hard waking up at 5 AM. Where are you headed next?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to go to San Diego to see the Foo Fighters.  I've never been to California and I thought this was a good excuse.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh, I love San Diego!! I was over there for the national soccer championship a few years back.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that gets me even more excited to go knowing you love it.  How did you do at the soccer championship?

[Speaker 2] We won by 5 goals. Not our best game, but we've improved a lot since then. This season is wrapping up pretty soon so I'll be able to focus on my studies a bit more. How goes your work? Are you still at your dad's farm?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm jobless right now.  I need to start thinking about finding a job but I'm not sure what I'd be good at.  I probably should focus on a job instead of going to San Diego, but I'm impetuous like that.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, knowing how far you traveled, I'm not surprised. Have you ever considered going into music yourself? I know a guy in one of my Gen Eds planning on being a music director.

[Speaker 1] That's an interesting idea.  I'd never thought of that.  I'm not sure I'd actually be any good in the music business.  I have farming skills so I wondered if there were landscaping companies that could use me.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Now if you were looking to be a doctor, my dad's hospital has some internships open.

[Speaker 1] What are you studying at college?  Are you following in your dad's footsteps?

[Speaker 2] I'm going into education, like my mum, but biology like my dad. Teaching seems like a nice thing to do and it'll give me the summers off to travel if I keep playing soccer.

I have 2 older brothers.

My dad has a farm. I used to work on my dad's farm.

I planned a trip to see a band. I'm going to San Diego to see the Foo Fighters. I've never been to California.

I am an only child.

My mom ran a private catholic school. My dad was a doctor at a hospital.

I love San Diego. I played in a national soccer championship there. My soccer season is wrapping up and I'll be able to focus on my studies.

I'm studying education in college. My mom is in education, my dad is in biology.

[Speaker 1] I got a job! Want to hear about it?

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Yes, I'd love to hear about it. Wouldn't mind some tips on applying and interviewing as well, if you don't mind.

[Speaker 1] Its all about selling yourself and having confidence.  Making lots of eye contact helps too.  My bigest trick to relax is to not care.  I either going to get the job or not so I dont put to much pressure on me so I stay calm.

[Speaker 2] So what's the job? Are you happy you won't be milking cows anymore?

[Speaker 1] Its for USPS.  I will be sorting mail. Grea thing is is a government job so I get all the holidays and sundays off.

[Speaker 2] That's great; congratulations. Persistence is so important. This should make your San Diego trip more relaxing. Are you nervous?

[Speaker 1] yes I have never been to a big city before but I am excited to go to the concert.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it'll be great. Let me know if you want any recommendations. Hopefully you won't be as tired now.

[Speaker 1] Where is a good place to stay in san diego.  I dont want to sleep in a car.  And yea I should be less tired because of regular hours and not farm hours.  5am is too darn early.

[Speaker 2] Well, San Diego has its mix of fancy places and more budget-friendly places. Just expect the places closer to the concert venue to be more expensive. Hopefully you won't be too far from it. Staying by the water is great, though.

[Speaker 1] Im hoping to take a trip to the ocean while im there, I have never seen it!

[Speaker 2] I find it so calming. One of the reasons I love San Diego. The Gaslight District is really fun, too. How long is your drive going to be?

I have 2 older brothers.

I am confident with my job interview skills. I just started a new government job working for USPS sorting mail. I work regular hours instead of farm hours which start at 5 am.

I will be attending a concert in San Diego.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you won't want to spend all your free time studying. What will you do for fun now that the soccer season is ending?

[Speaker 2] I'm studying for a chemistry exam so, you nailed it. I just don't have a lot of time to have fun now.

[Speaker 1] Do you feel prepared for your exam?

[Speaker 2] I don't think I'll ever be prepared for an exam on organic chemistry. It's the kind of class where everyone does really poorly on the exams and our grades get scaled up.

[Speaker 1] oh yeah, I've heard many horror stories about that class.  I've heard that it clicks for most people eventually though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm just in survival mode right now. I want my B and I want to move on with the rest of my life.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you'll be fine.  In the meantime, it's important to still make time for fun so you don't burn yourself out.

[Speaker 2] You know, a friend asked me to go to the beach to play volleyball this afternoon. That does seem like a lot of fun.

[Speaker 1] You should totally go!  It'll be a nice break.  You can study before or after that if you want to.

[Speaker 2] You convinced me. Now I just need to find some SPF 100. I've been in the library so often that my skin is going to fry in the sun.

[Speaker 1] that's a good idea.  Sun poisoning would not help you right now.  I've had it before and I was exhausted for days afterward.

[Speaker 2] That sounds terrible. I've only ever had mild sunburns and those are bad enough. I hate the peeling afterwards, it's so gross.

I have 2 older brothers.

I have heard bad things about the class. I've also heard people eventually understand it.

I've had sun poisoning before.

I am an only child.

I am studying for a chemistry test. I don't have much free time. I don't think I am prepared for the chemistry exam. I just want a B in the class.

I have a friend who wants to play volleyball on the beach today with me. I need sunscreen because I haven't been outside much lately. I've had mild sunburns. I hate when they peel.

[Speaker 1] How did your chemistry exam go?

[Speaker 2] I think it went well thanks! I'm feeling pretty confident that I got the B that I needed, but we will see when the results come out! Are you settling into your new city well?

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear! Are you done with classes for the summer, now that the exam is over? I am getting along well in the new city, but I miss my dog! My HOA won't let me have one :(

[Speaker 2] yeah that was my last exam, time to relax a bit for the summer months. That's a shame, what kind of dog did you have at home on the farm?

[Speaker 1] Too hot to do anything in the summer, so a good time to relax! He was a border collie. He was very smart and energetic. He was a rescue named Jack, and his sister was named Jill. Her owners would bring her to the farm, and they would go running in the fields

[Speaker 2] exactly, I plan to spend a lot of time at the beach so I can cool off easily in the sea. That sounds so nice, do you miss life on the farm?

[Speaker 1] Oh, vacation on the beach sounds amazing! Do you play volleyball or frisbee there? I would always play those with my family on the beach. I don't miss having to wake up early, but I do miss the peace and serenity of nature. It is very calming!

[Speaker 2] yeah do some volleyball, I have a few friends that play competitively but I just play it for a bit of fun. Yeah there's really pros and cons of staying in the city. What inspired your move here?

[Speaker 1] I wanted to get a job to be ready for when I returned to college this fall to work on my MBA Program. I didn't want to start both my job and classes at the same time! The City is nice too, but in a different way than the farm. It is busy and bustling and thrums with energy!

[Speaker 2] What do you make of your new job? must be on your feet for a lot of the day

[Speaker 1] It keeps me busy, and I walk during most of the day! Fitness coaches say that you should walk 10,000 steps each day, but one day, I doubled their advice, haha! I will have very toned calf muscles by the end of summer!

[Speaker 2] wow that really is a lot of walking! you must be real tired by the end of the day. At least it means you deserve a good slice of cake every now and then


I am a runner.

I love high-protein foods.

I work as a tax accountant.

My favorite musician is sufjan stevens.

I moved into a new apartment last month.

I am a vegan.
I love going to the gym.
I own a jeep wrangler.
I am married.
My husband is a lawyer.

I enjoy running.
I like making protein shakes.
I am a tax accountant.
I just moved to a new apartment.
I am vegan.

I like to work out.

I work for as a paralegal for my husband's law firm.

I eat vegan.

[Speaker 1] Just got back from a 1 k run. Feelin'alive!

[Speaker 2] I just got back from the gym! I love it!

[Speaker 1] Now it's time for a high protein snake before going back to work!

[Speaker 2] Where do you work?.

[Speaker 1] As a tax accountant. You?

[Speaker 2] I am a paralegal for my husband's small law firm.

[Speaker 1] Great to be in a family firm! I just got a new apartment!

[Speaker 2] How fun! Have you gotten settled?.

[Speaker 1] Sort of, but with work and everything this will take a bit of time. Excited!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I am looking for a new vegan recipe for dinner tonight..

[Speaker 1] Love vegan food, I am vegan too!

[Speaker 2] How much we have in common! Do you by chance drive a jeep wrangler?

I like to work out.

I eat vegan.

[Speaker 1] I have finished moving in to my apartment. Maybe you can come over ands see it and I will make us a vegan meal.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome. Can't wait to see it. Seems like it has been forever since we did anything together.

[Speaker 1] I agree. What is one of your favorite vegan dishes? I have a meatless chili that I really like to cook.

[Speaker 2] Meatless chili sounds awesome. One of my families family is vegan tacos.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really good, I will have to look up a recipe for that.

[Speaker 2] That is cool. If not the chili sounds awesome.

[Speaker 1] Do you work out at home, or do you have a membership somewhere? I workout at home, but the things I can do in my routine are limited.

[Speaker 2] The law firm gave all his worker a gym membership to one of the gyms in town. And they make sure we get in there since we do a lot of sitting behind a desk with all of our work.

[Speaker 1] That's great that the firm does that for you all. As an accountant, I spend all day at a computer, I wish I had a membership paid for by my company too.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you should talk to bosses about it. It would give you guys some reason to go

[Speaker 1] Yeah I agree. Plus I bet if everyone was using the membership, people would have fewer medical insurance claims, and this would save the company some money.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm sure it would. I can get my bosses to write up how they did it something for you to show them.

I enjoy running.

I like making protein shakes.

I am a tax accountant.  I work at a computer all day.

I just moved to a new apartment.

I am vegan. I like to cook meatless chili.

I work out at home.

I like to work out.

I'm vegan.

[Speaker 1] I've been decorating my new apartment and can't wait for you to see it.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I am looking forward to it. Is it starting to feel like "home"? Do you have workout space in your new apartment?

[Speaker 1] It is starting to feel like home. Yes, I do have a workout space. We made sure that we had enough rooms to have an office, guest room, and a workout room.

[Speaker 2] Excellent. I work out at the gym but it would be so nice to have space at home for quick workouts or when I just don't have the motivation to get out of the house! I need a new lifting routine I think.

[Speaker 1] I am excited to get it done. We have some more items to buy for the room. I feel like I haven't worked out in forever, but it has only been a week due to moving and getting the house in order.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it will be nice to have it complete. Do you have a good protein shake recipe? I haven't found anything I enjoy.

[Speaker 1] I usually add my protein powder into a good strawberry orange banana smoothie. Or some other fruits I might add a little bit of spinach, but not much

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious. Good idea! I will have to try that. Vegan protein powder just doesn't do it for me.

[Speaker 1] I usually use milk in my smoothies, but since you are vegan you can use the almond or oat milk. I usually can't take the protein powder at all and the smoothies are great for you.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. Have you been running lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I still get my morning run in. I couldn't miss that also I have been working so hard had to at least do that every day.

[Speaker 2] I have been enjoying running more lately. Any tips for a newbie?

I enjoy running. I run every morning.

I like making protein shakes.

I just moved to a new apartment last week.

I work out at home. Exercise is important to me.

I like fruit.

I like to work out.

I'm vegan.

I work out at the gym. My work gives me a free gym membership. I like to exercise. I'm new to running for exercise.

[Speaker 1] My new apartment flooded and ruined my exercise equipment.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, that's really awful. what caused the flood?!

[Speaker 1] The neighbor above left their bathtub running! leaked down! but luckily i can go running outside!

[Speaker 2] dang. how does someone forget their bathtub is running? I try not to even leave the room when I have the water on for mine. do you have insurance to cover the cost of the damage?

[Speaker 1] yes! getting fixed super soon! and i know haha i always worry so i never leave. how's work by the way?

[Speaker 2] work is going well. we got a new case that is super interesting but I'm not allowed to talk to anyone about it yet. but you should be hearing about it on the news in the next few weeks.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's super exciting but I totally understand! The law is the law, mum's the word lol. Hey do you want to get together for dinner one night? I have perfected my chili recipe!

[Speaker 2] that sounds wonderful. I haven't had chili for a while.

[Speaker 1] Awe, that's sounds great then! Obviously, the Hubby is invited too. Do you like spicy or plain?

[Speaker 2] Spicy for sure. I can make a side if you let me know what you like, I'll bring it!

[Speaker 1] Oh I love fruit! How about a fruit salad if that wouldn't be too much trouble? That sounds light and nice!

[Speaker 2] love fruit. I'll bring some. what day would you like to do this?

I enjoy running. I run every morning.

I like making protein shakes.

I like fruit.

I have a new apartment that flooded. I have exercise equipment at home that is ruined. I have insurance to cover water damage. I am getting the damage fixed soon. I never leave the room when water is running for a bath.

I have a neighbor upstairs.

I make chili.

I like to work out.

I'm vegan.

I try not to leave the room when water is running for a bath.

I have not had chili for a while. I like spicy food. I can make a side dish.

I love fruit. I will bring a fruit salad.

[Speaker 1] I can do Friday night! Then, I can have the damage fixed before you all come over.

[Speaker 2] Ok that would be fun! I feel so bad about all the damage you are dealing with. Let me know if I can help in any way

[Speaker 1] That's okay! I already have it all lined up with a contractor to get fixed, and insurance is covering it. It shouldn't be too much of a pain. Do you like to put stuff in your chili? I'm going to grab some condiments before Friday.

[Speaker 2] I can eat chili any old way just about but whatever you get I will give a try too. Have you done any running this week? I'm trying to run for longer times now.

[Speaker 1] I've been running outside more now that my equipment inside is damaged, and its been a little bit of an adjustment, especially the hills in my neighborhood, so I haven't been going as long as I normally do. How long are you trying to run for?

[Speaker 2] I'm up to 30 minutes now! If you have any good recipes for protein smoothies let me know! I'm working at increasing my protein but I'm tired of the same old smoothies I been using.

[Speaker 1] That's a great time! I'll give you some recipes on Friday night when you come over! I've got some great ones that mix it up a bit. Do you like more fruity shakes?

[Speaker 2] Ok great! I actually prefer veggies to fruit if you have any recipes using those. I don't like eating too much fruit because of the sugar.

[Speaker 1] Fair enough! I'll dig out my best veggie recipes! You're bringing some fruit on Friday, right?

[Speaker 2] Yep I sure am! Also I have this new killer fruit dip you gotta try! It is really yummy! I'll bring that too.

[Speaker 1] That'll be great! Do you think pita bread or chips would go better with it? I'll pick some up!

[Speaker 2] Maybe the chips. The bread makes me feel tired haha! That would make me boring company.

I like jogging.  I do not have a car. I do not like the buses in my city.

[Speaker 1] Do you eat meat?

[Speaker 2] I do! My mom's coffee shop has the best bacon! Do you?

[Speaker 1] I do not eat meat!! Animals have rights and that is just wrong!

[Speaker 2] I agree, I just can't give it up. Kind of like my 5 tattoos I have! Addicting!

[Speaker 1] Ooo I hate tattoos. Like devil markings..

[Speaker 2] Im guessing you won't like graffiti either then? Another favorite of mine!

[Speaker 1] That I do not mind. I have a kid that likes doing paid murals.

[Speaker 2] Neat! Do you watch shows together? I love watching friends.

[Speaker 1] Genuinely have never watched an episode of that. We mostly just jog and recycle.

[Speaker 2] I love jogging, its how I get most places since I don't have a car.

[Speaker 1] Well not having a car is good for the environment so good on yah!

[Speaker 2] True! Do you have a car?

[Speaker 1] I dont. I take the bus.

[Speaker 2] I hate the buses in my city! So dirty!

I do not like tattoos.

I do not have a car.  I take the bus.

I like graffitti.

I enjoy the show FRIENDS.

[Speaker 1] I saw some amazing graffiti under a bridge near me.  Looks freshly-painted.  I've never seen it there before!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Was it a recognizable design of some sort, or more abstract art?

[Speaker 1] It was really like a modern day Noah's Ark with animals that live in our general vicinity. Breathtaking really!

[Speaker 2] That's a very cool concept! I hope a lot of people notice it when they are passing the bridge. What was your favorite animal in the painting?

[Speaker 1] Although I have never seen one in person in the wild, it had to be the grey wolf.  Piercing eyes and seemed to be protecting the rest.  Hey, that bridge is right near a running course.  Maybe I can take you some time to show you.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome. I've never seen a wolf in the wild either, but they are definitely beautiful animals. On one of the trails I jog on sometimes, there are a lot of coyotes. I saw one scamper down the trail and roam the nearby neighborhood without a care in the world. Must be nice to be carefree.

[Speaker 1] Are you ever scared?  I see lots of birds, squirrels, and rabbits, so I bet there aren't many coyotes in the park I do most of my jogging.

[Speaker 2] When there is a pack of them or they are howling because they found food, then it's intimidating. But when it's just one on it's own, it doesn't really seem like it is looking for a fight. I do worry about my cat though. We try to keep her inside, but when she gets out I'm always worried a coyote might attack her, but so far we've been lucky and she has always made it back home. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] You definitely have to watch out for those coyotes.  They are as cute as they are cunning.  They love to lure animals out for the pack to get to!  I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats, but I don't have any now.  My kid keeps asking for one, so maybe I should take the plunge?

[Speaker 2] My family has always had lots of pets. If a dog or cat seems like too much, I've had luck with the sweetest hamsters and pet mice. We've also had pet birds, but one bit me when I was really little so I've never been a huge fan of birds. Right now, we have two dogs, a cat and a bird. My mom wants to get another dog though, so who knows. What kind of pet would you consider getting for your kid's first pet?

[Speaker 1] I need to visit you sometime!  I love a house that's filled with animals.  I am thinking of starting small with a couple hamsters.  I think it will be fun for us to watch them socialize and interact with their environment.  I sort of want a ferret, but I think they are going to be too mischievous!

[Speaker 2] I've never had a ferret, but hamsters are the best! When I went to Petco to look at hamsters, the one I fell in love with was not taken care of by it's previous owners. It was left in a soda cup outside of the store. The owner couldn't even wait until the store opened to bring it in and make sure it got a safe home. He was the sweetest though, and even though they weren't sure how old he was when I got him, he lived for another 3 years after that. I always thought hamsters only lived for around 2 years, but all four of the hamsters I've had have always lived for 3-4 years.

I do not like tattoos.

I have never watched FRIENDS.  I jog. I recycle. I run in the park.

I do not have a car.  I take the bus.

My favorite animal is the grey wolf.  I have never seen a grey wolf in person. I have seen birds, squirrels, and rabbit in person.

I don't have any pets.  I grew up with dogs and cats.

I like graffitti.

I enjoy the show FRIENDS.

I have never seen a grey wolf in person.   I have seen a coyote in person.

I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] I took your advice and got my child a hamster!

[Speaker 2] So exciting! How is your child enjoying the responsibility of being a pet owner?

[Speaker 1] They enjoy the playing and cuddling to the cleaning but I told them it was all or nothing so they have to deal with it.lol

[Speaker 2] Honestly you get used to the cleaning after a while. Do you plan on getting your child a dog or cat in the future?

[Speaker 1] Maybe in the future once I have a car. It would be hard taking them to the vet and anywhere else on the city bus. What type of dogs do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a laborador and a pitbull, they make life more messy but also more fun.

[Speaker 1] I bet.  I had dogs growing up and I definitely miss it so I definitely plan to get one in the near future. What are their names?

[Speaker 2] Cali and Guaya, after the cities my parents came from. Felt it was only right after they helped me adopt the dogs.

[Speaker 1] That's a nice gesture.  And they're unique names which I like.  I'm sure my son will end up naming the dog.  Heaven knows what it'll be when the time comes.lol

[Speaker 2] It would be so exciting being able to go running with the dog though. My dogs love to join me on my morning jogs and love the attention passerbys give them.

[Speaker 1] It would definitely be nice to have a running partner.  Unlike humans they'll always be down to go.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my partner refuses to go running with me. What about your son? Does he run with you?

I do not like tattoos.

I do not mind graffiti.  I have a child. I have a son.

I do not have a car.  I take the bus.

My children like hamsters.

I like graffitti.

I enjoy the show FRIENDS.

I have a cat.

I grew up with hamsters, mice. and birds.  I don't like birds.  I currently have two dogs and a bird in addition to the cat. I have a labrador and a pitbull. My dogs names are Cali and Guaya. My parents came from Columbia and Ecuador.

I jog in the morning.

I have a partner.

[Speaker 1] I watched the first episode of 'Friends' as you suggested and it was pretty good!

[Speaker 2] that's great, Keep watching and you wii fall in love with all those characters. Joey and Chandler are my favorite.

[Speaker 1] Joey is definitely hilarious! You'll never guess what happened to my kid the other day - his hamster escaped the cage and we spent HOURS searching for it. We finally found it under the fridge...I had a mini heart attack!

[Speaker 2] that is hilarious, Hamster can do that mine did runaway so many times when i was kid, I still wonder how did he got out. Did you figure out ?

[Speaker 1] We aren't sure! I'm sure the door to the cage was locked but the door was wide open when we noticed he was gone. Sneaky little devil. Luckily we don't have a cat or dog that could potentially eat the little guy.. how are your pups doing?

[Speaker 2] That would be awful. Cali is a but grumpy i guess she ate something bad when we ere on a walk or maybe Guaya made her angry with tricks.

[Speaker 1] Aw man. Hope Cali feels better soon! Haha does Guaya usually get on Cali's nerves?

[Speaker 2] ALL THE TIME, He's a cheeky one, always with the tricks. they're worth it though i love them. on other hand their boss is my cute furry ball cat. she has her with everyone even i get manipulated by her. Are you planning on getting any more pets?

[Speaker 1] Haha I feel like that's how cats always are! Not surprised she is the boss. I think we're good with just the hamster for now! A kid and a hamster are enough for me lol

[Speaker 2] Haha yeah there is a lot of work when there is a cat involved. i can't live without them though. I saw this cool pictures of a grey wolf, i'll send it later i'm sure you will love it.

[Speaker 1] Oh awesome yeah I would love to see it! Now THAT would be a pet I would be down to have LOL but I don't think that would be legal. Do you see a lot of animals on your morning jogs?

[Speaker 2] Haha that would be a cool pet. Yeah there are all kind of pets you can on the jog even i don't know there breed sometimes.

I do not like tattoos.

I do not have a car.  I take the bus.

My children like hamsters.

I watch the tv show, friends.

I want a wolf as a pet.

I like graffitti.

I enjoy the show FRIENDS.

I grew up with hamsters, mice. and birds.  I don't like birds.  I currently have two dogs and a bird in addition to the cat. I have a labrador and a pitbull. My dogs names are Cali and Guaya. My dogs sometime fight. My parents came from Columbia and Ecuador.

I jog in the morning.

I have a partner.

I have watched the tv show, friends.

I love cats.

[Speaker 1] I can't believe Ross and Rachel aren't together yet, their chemistry is exciting. Does that happen later on, actually don't spoil it for me!

[Speaker 2] it's certainly a rollercoaster between those two characters! I shan't give away anymore! How much of the show have you watched now?

[Speaker 1] I have just finished the first season. Does the show keep its quality ?

[Speaker 2] ah you've barely scratched the surface then. I'd say it definitely keeps a high quality throughout, there's a lot of good plot development through all the series, stays interesting and entertaining

[Speaker 1] Do you recommend me to binge all the episodes or watch a few episodes every week ?

[Speaker 2] that's personal choice I guess... surely you must be quite busy some of the time looking after your kids and doing all your running. Don't let a tv show overrun your life

[Speaker 1] That is a good point, children take so much time.

[Speaker 2] How old is your child now?

[Speaker 1] He is great, we are planning a camping trip. I can wait to jog somewhere outside  of the city.

[Speaker 2] that's great, where are you going to go camping?

[Speaker 1] Up in the north, there is also wolf refuge for wolves that have been hurt. I am very excited to go there.

[Speaker 2] oh that sounds great, you'll love that for sure! Does your son share your love for wolves?

[Speaker 2] Aw man I don't know, i can't decide. you?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. hard to decide when you are someone who roots for more than one team.

[Speaker 2] haha, that's is my problem! I root for the underdogs. the celtics have my heart man.  How's the beach been lately?

[Speaker 1] lots of tourists starting to come but I still love it.

[Speaker 2] Aw man I can bet, summertime in Mexico sounds awesome. Especially by the beach. You been surfing? or too many tourists?

[Speaker 1] I surf a little. but when it gets too crowded it does get hard to do.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, there's some okay spots here in texas. So I want to try learning. Haha you should be my teacher man!

[Speaker 1] come visit me in mexico! maybe I can convince you it's time to move here.

[Speaker 2] you know,you're right. i was considering it but it's time. I'm getting a ticket first chance!

[Speaker 2] I'd love to learn how to surf! I've always wanted to. How about in exchange, I teach you about basketball?

[Speaker 1] yes!  Sounds good.  Who do you think is going to win the nba playoffs this year?  I am surprised by the teams in the finals

[Speaker 2] I'm so ready for the playoffs! Really still undecided about who I think will win though. I'm usually a Celtics guy, but I alaso tend to root for the underdog. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I think the Suns will win- and I root for the underdogs usually too.  But I like Phoenix- have you ever been to Arizona?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. Up until recently, I've been over in Texas. I've heard a lot of good things though! Have you?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, a couple years ago.   I went to Phoenix in spring time and it was super hot- but you'd probably be used to that!   I drove up to Sedona and it was a little cooler since higher elevations.  Super cool town though. lots of hiking

[Speaker 2] Hiking is cool, but I'm more of a fan of going to the beach. That's why I'm a little jealous of you down there! All those beautiful beaches, views, and surfing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah Mexico is cool like that!   You can never get tired of the views!   Its also way cheaper then living in the states.   Language barriers can be a little tricky in non touristy areas though

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think when I come over I'm definitely going to have to pick up the language. But the work to do that will be so worth it for all that beach time!


I work in the zoo as a zoo keeper.

I have a pet racoon and a bearded dragon.

I love flying kites during a windy day.

My brother owns a grocery store.

I own 2 cars and both are mustangs.

I have 3 children below the age of 9.
I work as a librarian in the city.
My name means grown up in german.
I love playing the flute.
I go to work by boat everyday.

My name is John. I am a zoo keeper at the D.C zoo.

I do not have kids. I have a pet racoon named Tim. I have a bearded dragon named Smaug.

I do not like to read. I have two mustangs.  I like to drive.

I have ownership in a grocery store. I have a brother.

I have 3 kids. My oldest kid is 9.
I am a librarian.
I take a boat to work.

[Speaker 1] Hello! My name is a john and I am a zoo keeper at the d.c zoo.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun! I hope to bring my kids there one day. I have 3 under 9 years old.

[Speaker 1] A handful I bet. I don't have kids just pets, racoon tim and smaug the bearded dragon.

[Speaker 2] What an interesting name. How did you come up with that?

[Speaker 1] I like fantasy books, but I love to fly kites by the washington monument on windy days.

[Speaker 2] Are you a big reader? I'm a librarian. I wish I had time to fly kites.

[Speaker 1] Not really, I do sometimes like to drive one of my two mustangs.

[Speaker 2] What do you do for work to be able to afford two mustangs?

[Speaker 1] I am a zoo keeper, but I have ownership in my brothers grocery store.

[Speaker 2] Oh right. That sounds like a handful.

[Speaker 1] Yes it is. The lions can be quite a big handful.

[Speaker 2] My three kids can be quite the handful too, that's why I take a boat to work.

[Speaker 1] How do you like being a librarian?

[Speaker 2] I love it! So many people come in looking for just the right book and it is my favorite thing to see a happy person walking out the door ready to start a literary journey!

[Speaker 1] I have a hard time getting into books, what would you recommend as a genre for someone like me?

[Speaker 2] Well if you enjoy fantasy I would recommend heading to your local library and finding a librarian to help you find a good one! It's a great genre! Or you could maybe get into an animal based book!

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea, thanks! Why do you take a boat to work? Does your city have canals?

[Speaker 2] I have to take the ferry. It may be a little time consuming but it is so much fun to be out on the water everyday~

[Speaker 1] I bet, I grew up by the ocean and I miss it very much. Do your kids visit you at the library?

[Speaker 2] Oh it would be such a bummer to move away from it! Yes they do. Probably about once a week to pick up some more books! Do you enjoy working at the zoo?

[Speaker 1] Very much so, I work with penguins mostly. Sometimes I get to help with the polar bears, but they are quite frightening. I'd have to say my favorite part of the day is taking care of the baby penguins.

[Speaker 2] The baby penguins must be so cute!! Are penguins your favorite animal?

[Speaker 1] They are one of my favorites, and they're lots of fun to watch while they play. I can get free tickets if you'd like to bring the kids to meet them.

I like fantasy books. I like to fly kites. I am not very interested in books.

I like animals.

I grew up by the ocean. I miss the ocean.

I enjoy my job. I work with penguins. I sometimes work with polar bears. I am afraid of polar bears. My favorite thing is taking care of baby penguins. Penguins are one of my favorite animals.  I can get free tickets to the zoo.

I have 3 kids. My oldest kid is 9.

I am a librarian.

I take a boat to work.

I love my job. I take a ferry to work. I like being on the water.

My kids come to the library to get books.

[Speaker 1] You must read a lot, being a librarian. What is your favorite genre of books?

[Speaker 2] I dont read as much as I would like. But my favorite genre is probably comedy. What is your favorite genre?

[Speaker 1] As I mentioned, I'm like fantasy books more so than books in general. Do you get any reading done on your boat ride to work?

[Speaker 2] I do get some readying done sometimes. How long have you been at your job? It sounds like a really cool job.

[Speaker 1] It definitely keeps me on my toes. It's great because I already like animals. I'll definitely hit you up for a book when I have questions about any of them.

[Speaker 2] Yea, Just let me know and I can direct you in the right direction. How long have you been at your job?

[Speaker 1] Long enough that I've lost track, but I hear that time flies when you're having fun. Thanks for being willing to help. If your kids ever want to visit the zoo, I'd be happy to reciprocate.

[Speaker 2] That is a very true saying. Yes, I will have to get with you on some tickets for the zoo. I know my kids would love it.

I like animals.

Fantasy is my favorite genre of books.

My job requires me to be alert. I have worked at the zoo for a long time.

I have 3 kids. My oldest kid is 9. I am considering taking them to the zoo.

I am a librarian. Despite being a librarian I don't read a lot of books. Comedy is my favorite genre of books. I sometimes read on my way to work.

I am good at giving book recommendations.

[Speaker 1] I did start reading this book called The Golden Compass. So far it's got everything I like, fantasy and animals! Have you read it before?

[Speaker 2] I've never read it, but I have heard of it. Do you think that I'd like it?

[Speaker 1] You'd love it! It's a great read. Intellectual with a bit of fantasy as well. I can mail you my copy so you can read it, if you'd like!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure we have a copy in my library that I can read. Most people who come here now don't even read books.

[Speaker 1] They don't? Oh wow! What do they do when they come to the library then?

[Speaker 2] They get out of the rain, they get on the internet, they cause trouble...pretty much everything but read books.

[Speaker 1] That must be really frustrating for you, as a librarian. I'm sorry. Do you work at a school library or a public library?

[Speaker 2] It's a public library but it's on a small island so it's kind of like their local community center too. It's not bad or anything, it's just not a typical library.

[Speaker 1] That's interesting! Maybe I could come check it out sometime when you're working. I won't bother you, but I love to read and would love to see what you guys have available!

[Speaker 2] You wouldn't be bothering me at all. In fact, I'd love it. Would you be okay riding the ferry? Do you get sea sick?

[Speaker 1] I've never been on the ferry before, but I don't get sea sick! I'm sure I'll be okay. I grew up on a lake and my father had lots of boats. I used to love riding on the boats and just being on the water overall. It was such a freeing experience.

[Speaker 2] Perfect. A lot of times we see dolphins during the ride to the island. There are lots of interesting birds here for you to see as well.

I like animals.

Fantasy is my favorite genre of books.

I am reading The Golden Compass. I like fantasy and animals. I own a copy of The Golden Compass.

I have never been on the ferry before. I do not get sea sick. I grew up on a lake. I have a father who had a lot of boats. I loved riding on boats and being on the water.

I am a librarian in a public library. Despite being a librarian I don't read a lot of books. Comedy is my favorite genre of books. I sometimes read on my way to work.

I have heard of The Golden Compass but not read it.

I live on a small island. I would like speaker 1 to visit.

[Speaker 1] I finished The Golden Compass! It was so good! I have to bring you my copy when I come visit.

[Speaker 2] That's cool! What did you think of it, and would you reccomend it now that you've finished it?

[Speaker 1] Yes! It was amazing! You definitely have to read it! Have you read any good books lately that you'd recommend?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I loved the His Dark Materials series. It has a lot of colorful urban fantasy taht I think you would love!

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! I definitely have to grab that from my library to read on the ferry to the island. You should bring your kids to the D.C zoo! I think they'd love it, and I could get them in on some action behind the scenes.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea! I know they would love to come see the animals over there. They've been asking to spend some time somewhere more exciting than the library. It's so exciting that you'll be on the ferry! The views must be wonderful.

[Speaker 1] It'll be great! I've never been on one before, but I'm excited to get back on the water again. What are your kids' favorite animals? Maybe I can get them behind the scenes of those.

[Speaker 2] How long has it been since you've been on the water? It must be so exciting. That would be so cool! Thank you! They all love big cats, like lions and tigers. My 9 year old especially loves lions.

[Speaker 1] I haven't been since I was a kid and going with my dad, so this will be really exciting! I've been meaning to get a boat, so I can start enjoying the water again. I'll talk to some of my buddies in the cat department about getting them a special tour!

[Speaker 2] Wow, thank you so much! They're going to be so excited to come over. Yeah, you must have so many exciting stories from being on the boats with your dad! I'm so happy for you.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I'll tell you all about it when I get to the island! You'll have to show me around! I'm sure there's tons of cool places to see there.

[Speaker 2] Yes, you should definitely come visit the island! It is small but it's a wonderful slice of paradise. And of course you'll have your pick of good books to take home!


I play drums in a band.

I write my own songs but somebody else sings them.

I grew up on the beach.

I love surfing in the mornings.

My father has a surf shop.

I like the ocean.

I am great at fishing, so I eat a lot of fish.

I listen to a lot of sublime on the beach near my condo.

During the day I work at doctors office as a doctor's assistant.

My name is Frank. I am from California. I grew up on the beach. I like to surf in the morning.

I am in a band. I play drums. I write music. I play in concerts. My best friend is the singer in our band.

I love sublime.

I was good at writing in school.

I love to fish. I love the ocean.

I work at a doctor's office. I am to busy to surf.

I was bad at math in school.

[Speaker 1] Hey I'm frank. I grew up in ca on the beach. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I love to fish and spend as much time as possible near the ocean.

[Speaker 1] Thats awesome! My dad owns a surf shop. Morning surfing is my favorite.

[Speaker 2] I don't have time to surf anymore since I work at a doctor's office.

[Speaker 1] That's a good career though. I'm in a band. I play the drums and write music..

[Speaker 2] Right now I am listening to sublime a lot when I relax on the beach.

[Speaker 1] I love them! I would love to see them live one day.

[Speaker 2] Do you go to a lot of concerts?

[Speaker 1] Not other than the ones I play in.

[Speaker 2] How many people are in your band?

[Speaker 1] 4. The singer is my best friend. I write the songs and he sings them.

[Speaker 2] Neat. You must have been a good student at writing.

[Speaker 1] That was the only subject I was good in!.

[Speaker 2] I understand! I was bad at math. I preferred fishing.

I love sublime.

I was good at writing in school.

I love to fish. I love the ocean.

I was bad at math in school.

[Speaker 1] My band booked a concert in Denver.

[Speaker 2] That is really awesome. I should take a trip there to watch you play.

[Speaker 1] You totally should! Have you been to many small concerts before?

[Speaker 2] I have been to a couple. But I have never been to one that I know the members of the band.

[Speaker 1] Those are the best kind. I'm sure I could get some tickets for you. I'll have to talk to my friend who helps manage our band. Just a warning, we get pretty loud!

[Speaker 2] I love loud. It helps broke away from the day to day life of working in a doctor's office. I love it, but sometimes I just want to rock out.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's what first made me get into music and surfing. Having a way to just get away from it all is so important. I have to imagine the doctor's office can get pretty dull sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it can. But I love my patients. It nice to know all of the people they are like family.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I'm sure it feels good to help people too. What kind of practice is it specifically?

[Speaker 2] Just a general practice so nothing special.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay. Have you made any plans to go fishing soon?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I took a couple weeks off to go awhile for a little while. I just need a break from it all.

I love sublime.

I was good at writing in school.

I have been to small concerts before. Concerts where you know members of the band are the best. My band has a manager. My band plays loud music.

I love to fish. I love the ocean.

I listen to sublime. I relax on the beach. I enjoy fishing.

I was bad at math in school.

I don't live in Denver. I enjoy live music.

I haven't been to see a friends band. I enjoy rock music.

I enjoy my job. The doctors office I work in is for general practice.

[Speaker 1] What is the most memorable fish you have caught?

[Speaker 2] One time, I caught a huge trout, and it bit my hand! It really hurt!

[Speaker 1] How big was the trout?

[Speaker 2] It was nearly a meter long!  Have you ever been fishing?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow!  I went once but we caught a fish that was only 2 inches long.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's tiny! Do you see a lot of fish when you go surfing?

[Speaker 1] Not usually, I'm too preoccupied with trying not to die haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha! You must be pretty good at surfing though, as you grew up on the beach?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah, you know me too well.  They call me "lil fishie".

[Speaker 2] Haha I'm going to call you that from now on. I wish I had time to go surfing!

[Speaker 1] The next time you want to go fishing, just go to a surf shop and get some lessons instead.

[Speaker 2] That's an idea. I just feel like it will take me a long time to learn, unlike fishing where I already know what I'm doing! But I guess I have to start somewhere!

I love sublime.

I was good at writing in school.

I'm not a fisherman. I'm a surfer.

I love to fish. I love the ocean.

I was bad at math in school.

[Speaker 1] I decided to take you up on your offer to take me fishing.

[Speaker 2] That's great, I would be happy to teach you everything I know. Do you enjoy eating fish?

[Speaker 1] I do.  Mainly salmon or tuna.  What kind of fish will we be trying to catch?

[Speaker 2] We could try catching trout since it is both easy to catch and cook. Do you usually cook for yourself?

[Speaker 1] No.  I am a horrible cook.  I could screw up boiling water!  Looks like you may need to help me catch AND cook the fish.

[Speaker 2] No worries! I am very passionate about cooking. I got a new recipe book for my birthday in May, so we could try it out. Is there any food you are allergic to?

[Speaker 1] I am allergic to strawberries.  I don't think that should be too hard to avoid.  What are your favorite things to cook?

[Speaker 2] I love Italian food! I like cooking pasta, risotto, and I'm getting better at making pizza all by myself. Have you every been to Italy or tried Italian dishes?

[Speaker 1] My band toured Italy last fall.  We spend 6 weeks at different towns and bars.  We seem to have a bit of a following there.  The food was amazing!

[Speaker 2] That is so cool! Being in a band must be so interesting. You get to visit so many places! What other countries did you tour?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes it is cool and others not so much.  Italy was great.  But, we spent 2 weeks playing at clubs in Uzbekistan which is not the greatest.  We have also had to hit some smaller countries in Central and South America.  IT can be rough when you are worried about getting kidnapped or shot!

[Speaker 2] I imagine it can be very dangerous sometimes, and probably very tiring to be on the road for long periods of time. But I assume it is worth it for the overall experience. Do you see yourself doing anything else for a living apart from this?

I love sublime.

I was good at writing in school.

I'm not a fisherman. I'm a surfer.

I eat fish. I don't know how to fish.

I can't cook.

I am allergic to strawberries.

I have travelled to Italy. I have been to Uzbekistan and Central and South America.

I love to fish. I love the ocean.

I was bad at math in school.

I eat fish. I know how to catch and cook trout. I cook well.

I love Italian food.

I am not in a band.

[Speaker 1] What instrument do you play?

[Speaker 2] I don't know play instrument. Only  I enjoy rock music.

[Speaker 1] ah right, who's your favourite rock band?

[Speaker 2] I'm big fan of aerosmith. When do you learn music. Whom teach you?

[Speaker 1] aerosmith are great, have you ever seen them live? I have been playing drums since i was a kid, my father taught me when I was young and from then on I just taught myself

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I have been trying to learn last one year. Still I didn't get right teacher. I'm jealous on you. I don't have like your dad.

[Speaker 1] what instrument have you been trying to learn?

[Speaker 2] Piano is my favorite instrument. When try play my mind was mesmerizing. How do you learn surfering?

[Speaker 1] I learnt to surf from one of my good friends, he surfed in a number of competitions and did very well. Would you like to learn to surf if you had more time?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I would like to learn surfing with my friends at weekend. But my friends didn't have interesting on surfing.

[Speaker 1] That's a shame, I'm sure you could find a club to surf with at a local beach. Have you been out fishing recently?

[Speaker 2] No. I have lots work. My students have exam for this weekend. So I have prepare them. I hope they participate well in exam.


I like the ocean.

I am a senior citizen.
I have eight grandchildren.
My mother was a librarian.
I am a very quiet person.
I like to watch movies on netflix.

I have had a hip replacement done.

I have eight grandkids.

I like movies about librarians. I am quiet.

I am retired.

I like watching Netflix.

[Speaker 1] Hello, do you like to fish?

[Speaker 2] Hi I used to but I recently had a hip replacement. The grandkids love to fish.

[Speaker 1] Are you feeling better? That's a complicated procedure.

[Speaker 2] Yeah but I have eight grandkids to wait on me and to set up netflix for me.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's nice, what are you watching.

[Speaker 2] I like any movie about a librarian...reminds me of my mother.

[Speaker 1] That is how I feel about the ocean, it reminds me of childhood.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, and the quiet serenity. As a quiet person myself I appreciate it.

[Speaker 1] I live near the beach you would love it.

[Speaker 2] As long as I have quiet and netflix I'm good to go.

[Speaker 1] Cool, I work at the doctors office as an assistant.

[Speaker 2] I miss working back in the day, but retirement suits me.

[Speaker 1] It does sound like you do!

[Speaker 2] Yes netflix and retirement are perfection.

I have had a hip replacement done.

I have eight grandkids.

I am retired.

I like watching Netflix.

[Speaker 1] I just caught a huge fish! A tuna! Can you believe it?

[Speaker 2] Are you gonna make tuna salad? Haha. How big was it? Bigger than your head?

[Speaker 1] That might be a good idea! Yes it was super big, can't wait to figure out what I am going to do with it!

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun! A fish fry or tuna salad. Do you make your tuna salad with eggs? What condiments do you put in it?

[Speaker 1] No I don't use eggs, usually just mayo pickle relish, salt/pepper, and a little hot sauce.

[Speaker 2] I've never had hot sauce in mine. That sounds quite good. The grand kids call me weird, because I put mustard in mine. Do you think that's weird? How many fish did you catch today?.

[Speaker 1] No I don't think mustard is strange, I have actually tried it before and I thought it was good. I only caught the one tuna fish today.

[Speaker 2] It must've been pretty big sized!! Did anyone go with you to go fishing? I haven't went fishing in a while. I should make the day of it and drag the children with me. Haha. Any spots you recommend?

[Speaker 1] Yes my wife went with me, she loves being on the water. I would recommend talking to local experts, they can give you great info on the best fishing spots.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. Did the wife catch anything or was she just enjoying the water and the sun?

[Speaker 1] She was just enjoying the sunshine. She can't stand fishing, does not have the patience haha.

[Speaker 2] I know I get frustrated when I sit there all day and don't catch anything. After a few hours I decide to swim. Or when a turtle snaps my line. That's very irritating.

I have had a hip replacement done.

I have eight grandkids.

I am retired.

I like watching Netflix.

I like eating tuna. I enjoy fishing. I have children.

I enjoy swimming.

[Speaker 1] Have you taken your children fishing before? I imagine it would be a nice time.

[Speaker 2] I have! I've taken my kids and my grandkids fishing. My kids aren't huge fans of it, but my grandkids love it.

[Speaker 1] That is a nice way to bond and spend quality time.

[Speaker 2] Indeed it is. We live near the ocean, so sometimes we'll sail a few miles off the coast and fish there.

[Speaker 1] You must catch some really delicious and fresh tuna.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we do catch tuna! We also come across Mahi Mahi and Red Snapper.

[Speaker 1] Yum! Will you make me some next time that I visit?

[Speaker 2] Sure! How do you like your tuna? Raw on sushi? Seared? Something else?

[Speaker 1] All of the above! Surprise me!!

[Speaker 2] Maybe I can make some seared tuna steaks, and then serve some tuna maki rolls as an appetizer!

[Speaker 1] My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

[Speaker 1] If so, we'll have to make some tuna rolls.  I know you like my recipe for them, right?

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah...yum yum. Nothing better in the world

[Speaker 1] All of this talk about fish is making me hungry!  I bought salmon to make for dinner tonight.  Do you like salmon?

[Speaker 2] I like most fish, but I prefer salt water types. It's a flavor thing, I guess

[Speaker 2] Trainspotting or SLC Punk for sure for punk. The Room for cult classic. What kind of movies do you usually like?

[Speaker 1] I try not to stick to any certain genre usually. As long as the writing is good and the acting is good it's good enough for me. You ever seen that super old movie Sid and Nancy?

[Speaker 2] I was about to say it's not that old but then I remembered 1986 was 35 years ago. Now I FEEL old.

[Speaker 1] Haha! Yeah, crazy to think it's already 2021. Gary Oldman is an old man now!

[Speaker 2] So crazy. Time really does fly. I love Gary Oldman BTW, he's an amazing actor. Have you seen Fifth Element? He's really great in that

[Speaker 1] Yes!! What a great movie! Amazing cast too, definitely one of the great sci-fi films around. Crazy costume design as well.

I love living in a large city.

Iced tea is my favorite drink.

I like Rn'B (rhythm and blues) music. I listen to Green Day.

I recently colored my hair red.

I like any movies that have good writing and acting. I have seen Sid and Nancy. I have seen Fifth Element.

I like old punk music. I like Green Day. I like the Clash.

I have watched Trainspotting, SLC Punk, and The Room.

I feel old.

[Speaker 1] I just watched that movie Get Out. I'd heard it was good, and I was not disappointed! Have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] I've never seen it! I'll add it to my list of movies to watch. I saw Fifth Element recently, have you seen it?

[Speaker 1] It's so good!  Yeah, the fifth element is pretty amazing!  What movie recommendations do you have?

[Speaker 2] I've seen Trainspotting, SLC Punk and The Room - they were all really good!

[Speaker 1] Isn't the Room considered one of the worst movies ever/

[Speaker 2] Yes but I actually really enjoyed it! But you could say I have strange taste in movies...

[Speaker 1] You probably like sharknado as well?

[Speaker 2] Haha I haven't actually seen that one! I know you have a good eye for quality movies so what would you recommend?

[Speaker 1] Probably happy gilmore if you like Adam Sandler.  Classic, comedy gold!

[Speaker 2] I'll add that to my list as well then! How about music, do you have any recommendations?

[Speaker 1] What about Iron Maiden?  Rock on!

[Speaker 2] Haha yes! I need to listen to more Iron Maiden. My absolute favourite band is Green Day!

I love living in a large city.

I recently colored my hair red.

I feel old.

I like Gary Oldman. I have seen Fifth Element. I have not seen 'Get Out' but I will. I like 'Trainspotting,' 'SLC Punk,' and 'The Room.

I like odd movies.

[Speaker 1] I watched 'The Room' as you suggested and I thought it was way too creepy.

[Speaker 2] That is ok. I am a big fan of those types of movies. What was the bit that crept you out the most?

[Speaker 1] I think the music was just really creepy. That's what usually affects me the most in movies.

[Speaker 2] Good point. Yes, the music production on films are getting so much better. Have you seen the movie "Gravity"? The movie won an award for best score. It is very good I must admit!

[Speaker 1] I love sci-fi movies so I definitely couldn't miss Gravity. And yes I definitely loved the score in that one. What do you look for in movies?

[Speaker 2] I look for a movie that grips me and keeps me intrigues from beginning to end. I don't really have a particular genre that I favourite but if the plot is good I am willing to give it a go. Would you recommend any?

[Speaker 1] I love the movie L.A. Confidential. It's a detective movie with a superb ending.

[Speaker 2] I haven't seen that yet but will definitely put it on the list. Love recommendations. What are your thoughts on silent movies?

[Speaker 1] I know movie connosieurs will say otherwise, but I can't do it. I need dialogue and music!

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean. I don't mind short movies that are silent but long ones I struggle to keep focused on.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. There was a relatively recent movie that won awards but it was a silent movie and I couldn't get myself to watch it. Who's your favorite actress by the way?

I struggle to watch long movies.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite creepy movie?

[Speaker 2] I saw The Shining for the first time recently, I thought it was really good! Have you seen any god movies recently?

[Speaker 1] I haven't seen The Shining; I'll have to add that to my list.  I've been pretty busy, but I enjoyed A Quiet Place.  Have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] I haven't seen A Quiet Place, is it also a creepy one?

[Speaker 1] Yea - the family has to live in complete silence because the monster attacks if they make noise.  It sounds silly but it's actually really intense.

[Speaker 2] I definitely have to give that a watch sometime, sounds interesting! What's your favourite snack for when you're watching movies?

[Speaker 1] Hmmm....probably skittles.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] good choice, I like to go for the classic popcorn, can't beat it when you're relaxing watching a movie

[Speaker 1] Yea popcorn is always good.  I have a huge sweet tooth so I often opt for sweets instead.  I also like icees if I go to the theater.

[Speaker 2] they truly are part of the theater experience in my opinion. What was the last thing you saw at the theater?

[Speaker 1] I haven't been to the theater in a long time.  Hmmm.  I can't remember.  I saw a military one a while back but I'm forgetting the name of it.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] I also haven't been for a really long time, i'm excited to get back. I think when they release the new James Bond that's what I'll go and see
