[Speaker 1] Hello. Nice to meet you.

[Speaker 2] Hi! It is nice to meet you as well.

[Speaker 1] My name is jen and I work as a therapist. What do you do?

[Speaker 2] Im employed at a computer company.

[Speaker 1] Do you like sports? I watch a lot of football.

[Speaker 2] Not really but I do love meeting new people.

[Speaker 1] Me too! Maybe we could grab a slice of pizza sometime.

[Speaker 2] Oh yess! Love pizza lol so do my kids.

[Speaker 1] How many children do you have?

[Speaker 2] Three children. We love disnet world.

[Speaker 1] I've never been there. What else do you like?

[Speaker 2] Not much else. We are just a happy go lucky family.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. Do your kids ever watch football?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes lol when their uncles do usually.

I work at a computer company.

I like to eat pizza.

[Speaker 1] I have been reading up on Disney World and it sounds like a lot of fun. Does your family have reservations to go this summer?

[Speaker 2] We always buy the year round passes and have custom magiv bands. We are a hordcore Disney family.

[Speaker 1] That's amazing! Sounds like something your kids will remember when they are adults. What is your favorite time of year to go? I hear they go all out at Halloween time.

[Speaker 2] We like the summer and winter. In the summer there is a festival at EPCOT and in the winter the rest of the parks also do special stuff.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. May I will get there one day. I don't get too much time off since I am therapist, need to always be available for my patients.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. But therapists need therapeutic time to themselves too don't you think?

[Speaker 1] Absolutey, I do a lot of self-care to make I have time to decompress and relax. Things like spa weekends with my friends, or skiing trips in Vermont. It's nice to have small breaks here and there.

[Speaker 2] I agree. Ive never been skiing. How long have you been doing that?

[Speaker 1] I grew up in Vermont, so basically as soon as I could walk. It's fun, I've switched over recently to cross-country. It's more of a workout.

[Speaker 2] Ive been watching youtube videos on that. It looks like great cardio. And its not frustrating because you can cover a really good distance on them even though youre on flat terrain.

[Speaker 1] Exactly, I don't enjoy heights so the chair lifts to go up the mountain to go downhill, never really appealed to me.

[Speaker 2] Being in Florida so much, I only ever go up three stories at the max. I cant imagine what a whole mountain would be like.

I am Jen. I am a therapist.

I like watching football.

I like meeting new people.

I've never been to Disney World. I've been reading about Disney World.

I don't have my vacation time.

I do a lot of self-care to cope with my work. I enjoy spa and skiing trips.

I grew up in Vermont. I skied from an early age. I recently started cross-country skiing. I don't like heights. I prefer cross-country skiing to downhill skiing.

I work at a computer company.

I like to eat pizza.

I have 3 children. We all love Disney World. We don't have other interests. We have year round passes to Disney World. My family often visits Disney World during the summer and winter.

I have never been skiing. I've been learning about cross-country skiing on Youtube.

I spend a lot of time in Florida. I have never been up a mountain.

[Speaker 1] I talked about it with my family, and we decided to book a week at Disney World this summer!

[Speaker 2] You will not regret it! It is truly the happiest place on earth! How many people are going?

[Speaker 1] Well, I felt like it would be creepy for an adult to go to DisneyWorld by herself, so I'm going with my sister and her kids. I can't wait to see DisneyWorld through her kid's eyes.

[Speaker 2] Plenty of adults are obsessed with Disney lol! But you will have so much fun with your sister's kids. How old are they?

[Speaker 1] 3, 5, and 12. I should have fun going on all the rides with the 12-year-old as long as the rides don't go too high. I'm a big chicken, I know. lol!

[Speaker 2] You have got to go on Space Mountain! It is the best! It's not too scary compared to other parks' roller coasters. And it's inside so you don't know how high you are!

[Speaker 1] That makes my palms sweat just thinking about it. Did I mention that I'm a chicken? lol! What else would you recommend that I shouldn't miss there?

[Speaker 2] Well make sure you catch a parade! They are so fun and all the kids will love it. And make sure you get a pineapple whip! Delicious!

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing! Thanks so much! When is the last time that you've been there?

[Speaker 2] We were just there for the long weekend. Having season passes is the best.

[Speaker 1] I'll bet. You guys are so lucky! Is EPCOT center worth it? I might need a break from the kids for at least one day!

[Speaker 2] Yes! The food is amazing! You should definitely check it out. That would be a fun one to do on your own.

I am Jen. I am a therapist.

I like watching football.

I like meeting new people.

I don't have my vacation time.

I am going to Disney World for a week this summer with my sister and her kids, it would be weird to go by myself. I am an adult woman.

My sisters kids are aged 3, 5 and 12. I don't like to go too high.

I work at a computer company.

I like to eat pizza.

I think Disney is the happiest place on earth. I think Space Mountain is the best ride at Disney. I like the parades at Disney and the pineapple whip. We were just there for the long weekend. I think the food at Epcot is amazing.

[Speaker 1] I looked at all the rides listed on Disney's website and I think the only one that looks safe to me is the teacup ride.

[Speaker 2] Haha there's more out there for you than that.  The Pirates of the Caribbean ride isn't scary nor is It's A Small World.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure I can find something to do. On a completely related topic, what's the alcohol policy at Disney? Can I just walk around getting sloshed all day?

[Speaker 2] It's pretty family oriented so I wouldn't recommend doing that if you want to be able to go back.lol  There's lots of fun to be had without alcohol believe it or not.

[Speaker 1] I don't believe it to be honest. If we're in the trust tree, I actually hate kids and I need to get liquored up just to deal with them.

[Speaker 2] I'd say at least half the population at Disney are adults so don't worry about it being filled to the brim with screaming children.  A lot of adults go without children.  It's a magical place even if you're a grown up.  But if you must get drunk then so be it.lol

[Speaker 1] Now, I'm not sure if I should still go. Perhaps a week on an island beach better suits my personality.

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking you might be right but honestly I think Disney is one of those places you should visit at least once.  Maybe visit Disney and then have an island vacation lined up in case you need a vacation to get over your vacation.lol

[Speaker 1] I like your thinking. One day in Orlando with my sister and her family, then I'll fly to the Bahamas for the rest of the week.

[Speaker 2] I highly recommend you do two days and go to Universal Studios.  It's more grown up oriented but a lot of fun still.  THEN island.lol

[Speaker 1] Okay, you've talked me into it. And actually, I think one day of Harry Potter stuff might be pretty fun too. I just can't get the image of thousands of screaming Disney kids out of my head.

[Speaker 2] That's the one thing I haven't done there that I really want to. I love the Harry Potter books so I want to feel like I'm actually in them.

I am Jen. I am a therapist.

I like watching football.

I like meeting new people.

I don't have my vacation time.

I am planning a vacation. My sister and her family live in Orlando. I drink alcohol.

I do not like children.

I work at a computer company.

I like to eat pizza.

I have been to Universal Studios and I recommend it. I have not been to the Harry Potter exhibit at Universal Studios.  I like Harry Potter books.

[Speaker 1] I booked my trip!  I followed your advice and I'm going to Disney for one day and Universal Studios for another.  If Universal Studios is good then I plan to go for an extra day.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'm sure your sister's kids will think they're in heaven, and you might too. I'll be surprised if you don't want more days there!

[Speaker 1] How many do you normally stay for?

[Speaker 2] Well we have the year-round passes so sometimes we go for a day or two at a time but only because we can come right back. I'm thinking I may go to the Harry Potter world next time I'm there. I've wanted to for a while, but it's always so crowded, even more than the other areas of the park. I definitely recommend buying the fast pass to skip some of the lines if you can.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I can't stay too long as I don't have vacation time from work.

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah. Work is always getting in the way. We should work to live not live to work, but the way society is set up, we don't have much of a choice.

[Speaker 1] I agree. Work is a bit crazy for me. I definitely need a few drinks at the end of the day.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, and a whole pizza over here. See, I need to go to Disney for good exercise -- so much walking, and I've been eating a ton lately. What's your favorite food?

[Speaker 1] Pizza is good, but I love Mexican food, especially tacos!

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah. Can't go wrong with a good taco. I have them for dinner at least once a week.

[Speaker 1] Yes, same here. I make carnitas at home.

[Speaker 2] I've never made my own carnitas! I mostly do beef, chicken, and shrimp. The only pork I'm experienced cooking is bacon. Is it easy?


I enjoy food and eat meat.

I like snowboarding.

I used to work for cisco.

My favorite performer is charlie parker.

I'm going to buy a new car.

I was born in india.

I was 14 when my family migrated to united states.

I have a master's degree in business.

I like to play sports especially tennis.

I love to cook.

I work for a large networking company.

I love food and trying different restaurants. I prefer beef and BBQ.

I listen to jazz music.

I have a masters in business.

I am from Bombay, India. I moved to USA when I was 14.

I am athletic and well built. I love tennis.

I love to cook.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I work for a large networking company, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I graduated with a master's in business.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice. I am thinking of getting another car.

[Speaker 2] I had a car in bombay, india. I was born there.

[Speaker 1] Oh interesting. I prefer japanese models as they are well built.

[Speaker 2] I am very athletic and well built. Love sports, specifically tennis.

[Speaker 1] I am a foodie and like to tr different eateries..

[Speaker 2] Well you are in look, my passion is to cook! What do you like?

[Speaker 1] I prefer beef. All types mostly to bbq outside.

[Speaker 2] When my family moved to the usa, I was 14 then, we tried texan bbq.

[Speaker 1] Yes yummy. We listen to jazz music a lot also.

[Speaker 2] Well we should meet, play some tennis and I will cook. Bring your new car.

I work for a large networking company.

I listen to jazz music.

I have a masters in business.

I love to cook.

[Speaker 1] I bought a new Honda Civic.

[Speaker 2] How do you like it so far? I am in the need for another car, but don't know what I want.

[Speaker 1] I love it. It's a manual transmission, which I love so much. I couldn't decide between the Civic and buying a fully electric car. But electric is so different, I wasn't ready to take the plunge. What types of things do you need in a car?

[Speaker 2] I need good gas mileage as I drive all over with my job. AC, electric locks and windows, and a radio. I thought about an electric car also, but they are a little scary.

[Speaker 1] Right, I'd be constantly worried about finding a place to charge it. I have a moonroof in my car, and I love it.

[Speaker 2] Moon roofs are awesome. The only plus I can see to an electric car right now is what if we run out of gas, but then what if we lose power. It is a catch 22.

[Speaker 1] Exactly. My electric bill is already very expensive, no idea how much it would go up to charge a car. I guess it's just a cost shift, from gas station to my electric bill.

[Speaker 2] It would be nice if we could test one for a month and see how much it would raise that. Can figure out if it was worth it.

[Speaker 1] That's an awesome idea - that should totally be a thing! I would do it, I am sure many others would as well. Pitch the idea to someone, make millions! :)

[Speaker 2] I should. Maybe I will to one of the business I have to go to for my job. They all deal with cars and I think lots of people would do it also.

[Speaker 1] I think so as well.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the idea. I will do it. I really should go start dinner. I love to cook I am making steak, baked potatoes, and some veggies.

I work for a large networking company.

I want another car. I prefer Japanese cars. I own a Honda Civic. I like cars with manual transmissions. I am interested in electric cars but not ready to buy one. I like having a moonroof in my car.

I listen to jazz music.

I have a masters in business. I work in business and cars.

I love to cook.

I drive a lot for my job so I need a car with good gas mileage, AC, electric locks, windows, and a radio. I am interested in electric cars but they scare me a little. I like moon roofs.

[Speaker 1] I found a car for sale in your area with all the things you are looking for!

[Speaker 2] That's great. Do you think you could email me the details? I'm surprised I didn't see it. I have searched on so many different websites and none had everything I was looking for and were too expensive.

[Speaker 1] Definitely! I'll send it to you momentarily. Too expensive, eh? I'll send you some links to some of my favorite auto websites so you can easily find matches in the area that fit your price range. Are you still thinking of trying out an electric car?

[Speaker 2] Yes, trying out an electric car is still on my mind. How did you find your Honda Civic?

[Speaker 1] Nice, me too! I really want to try a Tesla. My friend was selling it, so I decided to buy it from him. It worked out great!

[Speaker 2] A fear I have around an electric car is that it might have sudden unexpected failures years from now, like the brakes going out or even exploding. I have never seen so much advanced technology until I came to America. I was always good in school and always knew I would go to college. I just didn't know I'd go to college in USA until I was around 10 years old, when my parents told me of their plan to move.

[Speaker 1] Makes sense, electric cars use some fairly new technology, and you never know what unexpected things could arise with them. Yes, we do have a lot of advanced technology in America. Did you always plan to study business?

[Speaker 2] No, not always. I decided on a whim to study business. When I get a new car I might help some of employees get to work with a car pool. I think car pools are great ideas.

[Speaker 1] Oh okay, gotcha! I studied business as well, but didn't decide to do so until around the time I graduated high school. Carpooling sounds like a great idea. It is important that we do everything we can these days to save the environment.

[Speaker 2] Yes, protecting the environment is important. I am skeptical of electric cars' ability to protect the environment because it might cost an enormous amount to build and maintain enough charging stations. Does your Honda Civic have the ability to connect to Bluetooth?

[Speaker 1] Fair enough, that is a valid concern. No it doesn't unfortunately, but I wish it did. Do you want Bluetooth connectivity on your new car?

[Speaker 2] No, I just am curious how well that works in a car. The technology in my car doesn't need to be as advanced as it is in my home, business, and almost everywhere else. I would probably get distracted by too much sophistication in my car. I already get distracted by my smartphone sometimes. I once almost got hit by a car when I was outside running and looking at my phone!

I work for a large networking company.

I listen to jazz music.

My electric bill is expensive. I like the idea of test driving an electric car for a month. I want to try a Tesla. I bought my car from a friend.

I studied business. I graduated high school. I care about saving the environment.

My car cannot connect to Bluetooth.

I love to cook.

I am interested in testing an electric car for a month and seeing how much an electric bill would be raised. I think that protecting the environment is important. I'm worried that electric cars won't be able to do so.

I moved from another country to the United States when I was around ten. I was good in school. I always knew I would go to college.

I want to start a car pool at work.

I don't want to have advanced technology in a car. I get distracted by my smartphone. One time, I almost got hit by a car while I was looking at my phone. I run occasionally.

[Speaker 1] Did you find a good car on one of those auto websites I sent to you?

[Speaker 2] There were some good ones! I've decided I want to find a good electric car though!

[Speaker 1] Cool stuff, electric cars are the way of the future, and eventually gasoline and diesel cars will be antiques. Which one are you looking at?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure yet I'm still getting a feel for the market right now. I think it is the best decision for environment to get an electric car though!

[Speaker 1] I agree, I would suggest getting something used if you can. Right now electric cars are super expensive, but they depreciate a lot. You can get good deals on used ones.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate your input! I think used cars also help the environment as well!

[Speaker 1] Exactly, plenty of good used cars out there. No sense in buying a new one when there are good used ones out there.

[Speaker 2] That's what I was thinking! Have you thought anymore about what kind of car you want to get?

[Speaker 1] I really want a Tesla, probably a Model S or Model 3. I love my Civic SI though, I think I would miss it too much if I got rid of it, it drives so well.

[Speaker 2] Ah yes, Civics are very reliable! I drive a Honda Accord at the moment!

[Speaker 1] Ah, also a great car! If I wanted one of those with a 6 speed, but they are really uncommon.

[Speaker 2] Maybe we could go test drive cars together sometime! What color are you hoping to get your Tesla in?

I work for a large networking company.

I listen to jazz music.

My car cannot connect to Bluetooth.

I know a good amount about cars. I think it is smarter to buy used electric cars than new ones. I don't see new cars as being important when used ones are available.

I love my Honda Civic SI. I want a Model S or Model 3 Tesla. I wanted a Honda Accord with a 6 speed.

I love to cook.

I want to start a car pool at work.

I don't know what kind of car I want. I care more about the environment than about the prestige of having new things.

I drive a Honda Accord.

[Speaker 1] Did you see the new electric car that was just announced?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. Please tell me about it!

[Speaker 1] actually Tesla is working for a affordable Electric car with low price

[Speaker 2] Wow that sounds awesome! I really want to test drive the car. Have you gotten a chance to do so yet?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. but Self driving cars looks amazing

[Speaker 2] I agree. I hope they become normalized soon. My honda accord is really old and starting to face issues. Do you have any recommendations on electric cars I can buy?

[Speaker 1] I will recommend, Model S or Model 3 Tesla cars

[Speaker 2] Cool. I'll check them out. We should get Korean BBQ sometime.

[Speaker 1] have you tried Korean BBQ?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I love it very much. I love how you can BBQ your own meat. And it always tastes better with friends!

[Speaker 1] sounds delicious, I will surely drive my car to try this tomorrow

[Speaker 2] Can you pick me up? My Accord is really breaking down. Plus, car pooling is good for the environment!


I live in the midwest.
I have a twin sister.
I have been a dentist for 14 years.
My wife and I sleep in separate rooms.
My favorite precious metal is gold.

I have three cats and two dogs.

I work in a large grocery store.

I didn't finish college but I want to go back.

Growing up in a small town was the best.

My first car was a ford.

I am from a small town.
I work at a grocery store.
I never finished college.
I don't like travelling. I love cars.
I have two dogs and three cats.

[Speaker 1] Hello, welcome to the neighborhood!

[Speaker 2] Hi! I grew up in a small town and loved it.

[Speaker 1] Wonderful! I think you know my twin sister.

[Speaker 2] Really? I'm employed at a big grocery store. Does she work there?

[Speaker 1] No, she works at my office. I've been a dentist for 14 years here in town.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I never did finish college, but one day I plan to return.

[Speaker 1] I want to go to alaska to mine for gold, it's my favorite.

[Speaker 2] Not into traveling, but I love cars and my first was a ford.

[Speaker 1] Are you married? I am, my wife and I don't sleep in the same room, she snores!

[Speaker 2] Not married, but have two dogs and three kitties.

[Speaker 1] I love dogs! Never had a cat though.

[Speaker 2] Cats can be just as devoted as dogs.

[Speaker 1] Has it been busy lately at the grocery store?

[Speaker 2] It's always busy at the grocery store.  I mostly stock shelves and you'd be amazed at how fast stuff disappears after I put it out.

[Speaker 1] I can only imagine, especially with how things are lately. Grocery shopping is actually something I enjoy believe it or not.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting!  Most people I see shopping seem to feel it's a burden, especially if the store is bustling.  What is it about the experience that you like?

[Speaker 1] It's my quiet time away from the house and work. My life feels so busy and crazy sometimes I like that time to just breathe.

[Speaker 2] I can understand that.  Other than needing to get away from it at times, how do you like your work as a dentist?

[Speaker 1] It's pretty enjoyable, actually. Some people have really poor dental hygiene and it's sad seeing how bad their mouth can be. I enjoy helping them.

[Speaker 2] I should really take better care of my teeth.  How often should I be brushing and flossing?  I figure I should get some free dental advice while I have your attention.

[Speaker 1] Haha, brush at least twice a day. Floss at least once. That'll help in between dental visits.  I have the craziest dream to quit being a dentist though.

[Speaker 2] Oh really!  Do you think your dream meant anything?  Did it reveal some deep truth about what you really want to do?  And in the dream did you plan to become something else, or just to quit?

[Speaker 1] I dream about traveling to Alaska and getting rich panning for gold. Is that crazy? It seems crazy, but the adventure could be wonderful

[Speaker 2] I think it is crazy, yes.  No, just kidding!  I think we all have different dreams and goals.  I wonder if there's a way to satisfy that itch without giving up your entire life.  I bet there are tours in Alaska where you can spend a week panning for gold and living like a  prospector.  Maybe you could take a vacation like that.

I have a twin sister. I have a wife.
I am a dentist.
I want to go to Alaska. I want gold.
I love dogs. I never had a cat.
I enjoy grocery shopping.
I have a house and job. I am busy.
I dream about going to Alaska.

I am from a small town.

I never finished college.

I don't like travelling. I love cars.

I have two dogs and three cats.

I work at a grocery store and stock shelves.

I need to take better care of my teeth.

[Speaker 1] Did you end up buying some toothbrushes and toothpaste from your grocery store?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I highly recommend Trader Joes toothpaste! It makes my teeth feel like I just left the dentist's office. Have you ever tried it?

[Speaker 1] No, but I think I'll give it a try! Is it organic or something?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's organic and all natural. I have never tried a better toothpaste. It has a nice fresh taste, not too sweet.

[Speaker 1] As a dentist, I have to endorse fluoride toothpaste, but if a product will get you brushing, that's the most important part. Do you work for Trader Joe's, or just shop there?

[Speaker 2] This one does have fluoride. I was surprised as well, but I guess fluoride is a naturally occurring element. I work there and shop there, I get a decent discount. Do you ever shop there?

[Speaker 1] From time to time, yeah. My wife loves the chocolate coffee that they sell there! Gotta keep her happy haha.

[Speaker 2] I haven't tried that, sounds delicious though! They have a nice coconut body butter that she might like, if she's into stuff like that.

[Speaker 1] If we go Alaska, I might have to pick up some of that! You seem to have a good instinct for health products and such.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! Have you guys talked more about Alaska, set any dates or anything?

[Speaker 1] It's still kind of pie in the sky at this point. She's worried about leaving her job behind. She works as a cardiac surgeon, and she has a great position at the hospital in town. That said, more remote areas tend to pay more, so I'm sure she could find a high-income position in Alaska.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I didn't know moving to Alaska was the goal. I thought you just wanted to visit for a vacation. Maybe you could start with a trip there, see how you guys like it.

I have a twin sister. I have a wife.

I am a dentist.

I want to go to Alaska. I want gold.

I love dogs. I never had a cat.

I enjoy grocery shopping.

I have a house and job. I am busy.

I dream about going to Alaska. My wife and I might go to Alaska.

I haven't tried Trader Joe's toothpaste. I have to endorse fluoride toothpaste. I shop at Trader Joe's from time to time.

My wife is a cardiac surgeon. We might move to Alaska.

I am from a small town.

I never finished college.

I don't like travelling. I love cars.

I have two dogs and three cats.

I need to take better care of my teeth.

I shop at Trader Joes for groceries. I like Trader Joe's toothpaste.

I work at Trader Joe's and buy groceries at Trader Joe's. I get a discount there.

[Speaker 1] My wife said she is wiling to go to Alaska for a trip so it looks like we will go this summer.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun!  What are you going to do up there?

[Speaker 1] I really want to take in the scenery and get a feel for some of the communities.  With my wife's job we need to be closer to the cities if we ever decide to move.  I think this is like a scouting trip.

[Speaker 2] Alaska is really big.  Where are you scouting out?

[Speaker 1] Well, most of the population of Alaska is in Anchorage so we need to check that out.  That said, a good cardiac surgeon could be a real boon to places like Juneau.  Have you ever been to Alaska?

[Speaker 2] I have not been to Alaska.  I don't like to travel.

[Speaker 1] I just wasn't sure if maybe you went when you were younger.  I have a feeling that if Alaska is as good as I think it is, I may never want to travel much either!

[Speaker 2] Are you thinking of moving there?

[Speaker 1] It's the dream, which is why this trip could be so important.  Enough about me!  What are the names of your five pets?

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you are following your dreams.  You don't want to live a life of regret.  My dog's names are Moose and Jake while my cat's names are Mittens, Muffin, and Chef.

[Speaker 1] Such cute names! Is Moose huge?  I want to see how this trip goes, but I might be getting dogs (either here or in Alaska).

[Speaker 2] Yeah Moose is a black lab that weighs 80 pounds.  We like to wrestle each other.

I have a twin sister. I have a wife.

I am a dentist.

I want to go to Alaska. I want gold.

I love dogs. I never had a cat.

I enjoy grocery shopping.

I have a house and job. I am busy.

I am going on a summer trip.

I want to get pet dogs.

I am from a small town.

I never finished college.

I don't like travelling. I love cars.

I need to take better care of my teeth.

I have two dogs called Moose and Jake and three cats called Mittens, Muffin and Chef. My dog Moose is a 80 pound black labrador. I like to play with my dogs.

[Speaker 1] My sister just came for a visit

[Speaker 2] How was it? Did she enjoy the trip?

[Speaker 1] Yes she did. We went to Alaska. I've made up my mind to move there.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh, that's great! I know that's been your dream for so long! Is your wife looking for a job there?

[Speaker 1] I know right? She really loved it. She is thinking of starting a practice there whilst I'm thinking of training huskies as a side business.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh, you guys are really living  your dreams! That's amazing! I would love to come visit once you get settled up there.

[Speaker 1] You are most welcome. I'm sure the dogs would love it. Have you ever been to Alaska?

[Speaker 2] Nah, I'm not much of a traveler, but I'd be willing to leave home to come see you guys! And i'd like to see a moose.

[Speaker 1] They've got lots of them plus the people are so friendly. How's things at work?

[Speaker 2] It's fine. I'm getting kind of bored with it though. I'm thinking it might be time to finish my degree.

[Speaker 1] Oh really? What were you previously studying?

[Speaker 2] I did all my gen ed classes but then dropped out because I needed to make money, so I can really go in any direction. I'm thinking computer science?

My name is Austin.

I am a salesperson but I am thinking about going back to school for an MBA.

I am a Chicago Bears football fan.

I have 2 siblings - both sisters.

I like camping and backpacking. I would like to live off the grid in the future.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm fine. Just a little stressed about moving next month. How about you?

[Speaker 1] How stressful! I'm doing alright, just returned from grabbing a 6 pack. What's your name?

[Speaker 2] My name is austin! What's yours?

[Speaker 1] Mark. Pleasure to meet you austin. What's your proffesssion.

[Speaker 2] I'm currently working in sales, but I'm thinking about going to school for an mba.

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. By day I work on cars and at night I'm a professional beer drinker.

[Speaker 2] Do you like any sports? I'm a diehard chicago bears fan.

[Speaker 1] I love football. Lions are my favorite!

[Speaker 2] It's hard to be a lions fan I bet. Do you have siblings?

[Speaker 1] Very hard. Yeah a brother. How about you.

[Speaker 2] I have two sisters that are both older than me.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I like camping and backpacking. I'd love to live off the grid someday.

My name is Mark.

I'm moving next month.

My name is Austin.

I am a Chicago Bears football fan.

I have 2 siblings - both sisters.

[Speaker 1] Did you hear what happened at the last Lions football game?

[Speaker 2] Besides losing!!! I did not hear.

[Speaker 1] Ha! Just wait, they'll make a comeback. That is, if the refs can STOP making terrible calls. That's all they did, the entire game.

[Speaker 2] I'm not surprised. Nothing ever goes right for the Lions. Kinda like my Bears. Are we destined to always support bad NFL teams?

[Speaker 1] It appears so, friend. We're in the Losers Club but not forever. Sheesh, I need to take my mind off this. How about we grab some beers tomorrow night?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! I meant to ask you what type of beer you like.

[Speaker 1] I like my beer a little bloody. It just hits the spot every time. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I'm a traditional lager guy, but I will try anything once.

[Speaker 1] Haha it's certainly not for everyone. It just might change your life though. Have you looked into brewing your own beer? It seems like a must if you're going to live off grid.

[Speaker 2] I have a few friends who do it. I would love to try it, but I just need to take the step. Have you done any home brewing?

[Speaker 1] Nope but I really should considering how much drinking I do. It seems like I can't get by without it so I might as well make it.

[Speaker 2] That's funny in a bad way. I guess you should try to make you own poison.

My name is Mark.

I'm moving next month.

My name is Austin.

I am a Chicago Bears football fan.

I have 2 siblings - both sisters.

[Speaker 1] Hey man, it has been a while since I have drank some beer.

[Speaker 2] thats fine by me, whatever floats your boat. you really should try a lager.

[Speaker 1] I'll try anything once.  have you tried brewing beer yet?

[Speaker 2] i watched a lot of youtube videos but I havent set anything up

[Speaker 1] I've seen they have kits too.  I looked into a lager kit since we talked last time.  you really like your lagers

[Speaker 2] ha, maybe its the price. I usually buy beer at the gas station and have to haul it up the stairs in my apartment. for some reason the lagers are always cheapest. I like them though!!

[Speaker 1] Your comment makes me think of people college age.  The beer they drink because it's cheap lol.  They don't care about the taste, just price haha

[Speaker 2] i am ready to move soon near the school so im prepared :) I dont overdo it though... mostly beer on the weekends. I wont miss this apartment.

[Speaker 1] What floor do you live on in your apartment?

[Speaker 2] this one is 3 floors and there is no elevator... thats why I have to wait to drink until I get home, really. too many beers and i'd have to stay on the stairs. the next place is ground floor so ill be fine haha

[Speaker 1] Then you wont have to worry about falling down the stairs after too many beers haha.

[Speaker 2] ill try not to drink too much! should be nice to go outside and enjoy the sun anyway. you doing any camping this summer?

My name is Mark.

I'm a mechanic. I drink a lot of beer after work. I like my beer a little bloody. I am curious about brewing my own beer. I have not done any homebrewing. I also drink a lot of beer. It has been a while since I have drank beer.

I'll try anything once. I have never tried a lager. I looked into lager kits.

I'm moving next month.

My name is Austin.

I am a Chicago Bears football fan.

I have 2 siblings - both sisters.

I like to drink lager. I would like to try brewing my own beer at home soon. I have watched Youtube videos about brewing beer but haven't tried it yet.

I get lagers because they are the cheapest option. I usually buy beer at the gas station.

I am moving soon close to the school. I don't overdo my drinking, mostly just beer on the weekends. I won't miss this apartment.

I live on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. I have to wait to drink until I get home because of the stairs. My next apartment will be on the ground floor. My new apartment will be a nice place to enjoy the sun.

[Speaker 1] Where is your favorite place to go camping?

[Speaker 2] A few years ago I went on a hiking/camping trip in Washington to Crater Lake. It was so beautiful and we didn't see another person all weekend.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing.  My cousins just took a week long camping adventure trip to Wyoming and I had no idea it was so beautiful there.  I've never been camping anywhere but a public camp ground.  It's fun but not "true" camping. Did you run into any crazy animals?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, I hate campgrounds. I haven't stayed in one since we were in college and took a white water rafting trip. There weren't any memorable animals on the Crater Lake trip, although we did see an owl.

[Speaker 1] That beats running into a bear I'm sure.  Would Crater Lake be your first choice if you ever end up living off the grid?

[Speaker 2] No, it's a National Park so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me stay there. I was thinking someplace like Maine.

[Speaker 1] You should make sure you brush up on your survival skills.  Maine has some pretty harsh winters and it'll be even harsher being on your own.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's a good point. I'm changing my answer to Hawaii. Final answer.

[Speaker 1] Hawaii looks pretty amazing.  I just watched a horror/suspense movie set in Hawaii and it was gorgeous.  No snow but make sure you're not too close to any volcanos.lol

[Speaker 2] And now we've come full circle. Crater Lake was created by a volcano! I can feel the trade wins blowing on my face already!

[Speaker 1] It's a sign that Hawaii is a good choice.lol

[Speaker 2] Now I just have to figure out how to afford to live on a volcano in Hawaii without a job to pay for things.

My name is Mark.

I am a Lions football fan. It is hard for me to support the Lions. I have 1 sibling - a brother. I have cousins.

I think Wyoming is beautiful. I have only camped at public camp grounds. I know a little bit about Maine winters.

I like watching horror/suspense movies.

I'm moving next month.

My name is Austin.

I am a Chicago Bears football fan.

I have 2 siblings - both sisters.

I like backpacking. I would like to live off the grid in the future.

I went camping at Crater Lake in Washington a few years ago. I like camping in places without other people. I don't like going to campgrounds. I have been white water rafting.

I went to college.

I would enjoy living in Maine in the wilderness. I would enjoy relaxing in Hawaii. I don't have enough money to live in Hawaii right now.

[Speaker 1] You've motivated me to go on a real camping trip next month! Do you have a favorite tent brand that you recommend? There are a lot of options out there.

[Speaker 2] All the brands are mostly the same, the important thing is to find the right size that suits your needs.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any suggestions for a two man for rough / hike -in camping?

[Speaker 2] I think the best thing to do is visit your local outdoor retailer and see what's available. You can get a good idea of what you like by seeing things in person. Do you have an REI close by?

[Speaker 1] No not an REI. I have a bass pro and and Academy. What features am I looking for?

[Speaker 2] The main thing to look for is weight. You want to make sure it's not too heavy since you'll be carrying it on your back. Plus you need to make sure there's room in your pack for beer!

[Speaker 1] Good advice, thanks. Speaking of beer....and I always enjoy doing so...tried any good ones lately?

[Speaker 2] I had a good one last night. Not from the store, it was a homebrew that my buddy made. Very tasty!

[Speaker 1] Cool, what style was it? IPA?

[Speaker 2] It was a double IPA. But not too bitter, tasted more like tropical juice.

[Speaker 1] A double IPA that isn't bitter? That's surprising. Have you ever had a roggenbier?

[Speaker 2] No, I've never heard of roggenbier, is it German?


I like dogs.
I live on a farm.
I work for the computer industry.
I love my job.
I have three kids.

I was captain of my football team.
I'm in a committed relationship.
I love watching horror movies.
I practice karate.
I work as a lifeguard on the beach.

I live on a farm. i live in the country.

I love dogs.

I work in the computer industry.

I was a nerd in high school.

I am a lifeguard. I live near water.

I do not have children. i am in a long-term relationship.

I was captain of the football team in highschool.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you? Live in the country, on the farm, really. You?

[Speaker 2] I live near the water. I am a lifeguard at the beach.

[Speaker 1] Oh, sounds like a dream!! Farm life is good for our three kids, though..

[Speaker 2] No kids here but I've been with the same person for a long time. Maybe soon hehe.

[Speaker 1] Any pet? I am a dog lover myself.

[Speaker 2] No pets no. Too busy with my hobbies, including karate.

[Speaker 1] Wow, cool! You are an active person. I work in computer industry and I love it.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm a couch potato sometimes. I watch like 7 horros movies a week.

[Speaker 1] Kids and the farm force me to be active when I'm not working...good thing though!

[Speaker 2] Did you play any sports in high school or college?

[Speaker 1] No, I was a nerd...

[Speaker 2] The world needs nerds. I was captain of the football team and copied the nerds homework.

I love dogs.

I work in the computer industry.

I was a nerd in high school.

I am a lifeguard. I live near water.

[Speaker 1] How did you get on at karate this week? Any new belts?

[Speaker 2] No new belts, but there is a competition next week, so I am getting some extra practice in. Do your kids take karate lessons?

[Speaker 1] Yes, if you count them beating me up everyday! They get most of their exercise running around the yard and climbing trees. Its a little different than the beach where you live!

[Speaker 2] True - that sounds fun. It must be fun to have siblings, I am an only child, so never got to experience any of that.

[Speaker 1] We also count the dogs as part of the family so it is never quiet around here! What movies do you like to watch?

[Speaker 2] My favorite are horror movies, the older ones like Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween. But I have to tell you, I am a sucker for those silly romantic comedies.

[Speaker 1] I agree, no shame in a romantic comedy! Horror movies keep the kids up so we tend to keep it on the lighter side. Harry Potter has been popular in our house. Have you seen any of them?

[Speaker 2] I haven't, I did read the books. I heard the movies couldn't live up to the books, so I have been avoiding them. Plus, there are sooo many. I feel like I would have to watch them all.

[Speaker 1] Too many, but you read the books! I give you a lot of credit for that. I have not read anything longer than 1 page in a few years.

[Speaker 2] I like to read, gets me out of the house, but still enables me to be lazy! I have a patio in my backyard, so it's nice to get out there and catch some rays.

[Speaker 1] That sounds so cool! I have a nice porch that I sit on a lot but usually it just for a few minutes. Someday I will get back into reading, maybe even Harry Potter!

[Speaker 2] I am sure it's difficult to find the time to do that with kids/pets/family.

I live on a farm. I live in the country. I do not live at the beach.

I have 3 children. My kids keep me active. They like to run in the yard and climb trees.

I love dogs. I have dogs.

I work in the computer industry.

I was a nerd in high school.

My family likes Harry Potter movies.

I do not read many books.

I have a porch.

I am a lifeguard. I live near water.

I do not have children. I am in a long-term relationship.

I do not have any pets. I do karate. I am a busy person. I did not get any new belts this week.

i like to watch movies. I am a couch potato. I like horror movies. I also like silly romantic comedies.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] We got a new animal on the farm.

[Speaker 2] Cool. What kind did you get? Pig? Cow? Horse? More dogs?

[Speaker 1] We got a goat. My kids named her Lucy.

[Speaker 2] That's a cute name for a goat. After I Love Lucy? Where'd you get her from?

[Speaker 1] The vet got her from another farm that didn't have room so he asked if we would take her.

[Speaker 2] Oh, so she's like a rescue then. I didn't realize there were farm animal rescues but I guess it makes good sense. What does she look like?

[Speaker 1] She's all white and is a bit smaller than you would think. Kind of like a very big dog, LOL.

[Speaker 2] Is she a pigmy goat? I think that's a thing.

[Speaker 1] I'm not really sure. I don't have another goat to stand her next to in order to compare, LOL.

[Speaker 2] Haha, good point. So are the kids taking care of her for you?

[Speaker 1] The kids all love her. Everyone rushes to feed her when they get home from school. I'm going to end up with a fat goat.

[Speaker 2] She no doubt feels very loved, lol. Hopefully she likes social interaction!

I love dogs. I have dogs.

I work in the computer industry.

I was a nerd in high school.

My family likes Harry Potter movies.

I do not read many books.

I have a porch.

We got a new animal for the farm. We got a goat and named her Lucy. The vet found the goat for us from another farm.

I am a lifeguard. I live near water.

I am an only child.

[Speaker 1] Do you like to read in your backyard? It sounds like a great reading area.

[Speaker 2] Actually i do even i like to have my breakfast in the open, you can have that fresh air as well. I'm reading harry Potter again.

[Speaker 1] Harry Potter: the instant classic. I watched the movies but the books, well, I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. My kids read the books as soon as they came out, but I haven't had time.

[Speaker 2] they're awesome, You should give the audiobooks a try, it can save a lot of your time and adds more emotions and more context to it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, they sound like a great thing for people short on time to read. I live on a farm and I'm pretty busy with the various duties around here. My kids help when they can, but they are in school.

[Speaker 2] It will definitely work for you, I would recommend the Jim Dale narration it is one of the good ones. I know what busy life looks, How old are your kids?

[Speaker 1] Jim Dale? Ok, I'll make a note of him. My kids are still in grade school. They love the animals. Probably learning more from the farm than they do in school.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I think that's a good way to learn how things work right? How's Lucy though?

[Speaker 1] Lucy is well fed. If she doesn't get enough food, she'll eat anything and everything in sight. She eats grass, newspaper, everything. Health and as hungry as a garbage disposal.

[Speaker 2] Haha that sounds like a Lucy. If i ever get a pet i might want a goat. probably do the memes too. Have tried having fun with it ?

[Speaker 1] Goats are pretty stubborn. They can't be trained, except when it comes to meal times. They always know when they are supposed to get food. Lucy gets a bit noisy when she hasn't been fed.

[Speaker 2] Must be really hard for you. I'll stick with no pets for now then LOL. Maybe I'll meet Lucy and decide.

I live on a farm.  Most of my time is taken up by farm work. I live in the country. I do not live at the beach.

I love dogs. I have dogs.

I work in the computer industry.

I was a nerd in high school.

My family likes Harry Potter movies.

I do not read many books.

I have a porch.

My kids are in school. My kids love to feed the goat when they get home from school. My children are in grade school.

I am a lifeguard. I live near water.

I am an only child.

I read the Harry Potter Books. I like to read. I have a patio and a backyard. I like harry potter. I like the Jim Dale narration of the harry potter stories.

I like to eat breakfast in my yard.

I have no pets.

[Speaker 1] I managed to find the Harry Potter audiobooks, just listening to the first one now

[Speaker 2] That's great. Did not know you were a Harry Potter fan.

[Speaker 1] I'm just now getting into it. I didn't like the movies that much but the book is so much better! It's changing my opinion.

[Speaker 2] Yes the book goes into so much detail and is so immersive. Have you seen the spin-off? Can't remember the name now.

[Speaker 1] No I haven't heard of it. My kids probably know though!

[Speaker 2] Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, that's what it's called. Not as good but still worth the watch. Do you prefer the audio book?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I don't really enjoy reading because I have really short attention span, so I like the audio because I can listen to it while I do other stuff!

[Speaker 2] Fair enough, I am like that as well. With the amount of information we have to consume today, no one can blame you.

[Speaker 1] It's good to listen to when I'm driving the kids to school, and they enjoy it too! Have you seen any good movies lately?

[Speaker 2] The most recent movie I have seen is Tenet. I have been very busy learning about crypto trading lately. Do you have any movie recommendations?

[Speaker 1] I haven't heard of that, but it sounds interesting! We've been watching the Marvel movies as a family.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. I heard they are all available on Disney+. Are you subscribed to Disney+?

I am a student.

I used to have dogs.

[Speaker 1] I enrolled in a new class

[Speaker 2] Good for you.  What is the class?

[Speaker 1] It's a class on the history of martial arts. It was an elective but I think I'll really enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fascinating, and definitely fits your love of martial arts.  What are you majoring in?

[Speaker 1] I want to get an athletic training degree. I think that would fit in with my lifestyle and beliefs. How is your job going?

[Speaker 2] I've been very busy the last few days.  I'm debugging some software and it's taking a lot longer than I'd hoped.  I haven't been able to run as much as I would like because of it.

[Speaker 1] That stinks. Hopefully you can finish the project soon so you can get back to your training. I think I saw posted where they is a half marathon coming up in a couple of months.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I saw that, too.  I'd love to run it but only if I've been training pretty consistently heading into it.  I also might be traveling at the time--we'll see.

[Speaker 1] Oh, where do you plan to travel? Any place fun?

[Speaker 2] When I have some free time I'm going to go back to England to visit family and friends, as well as all my dogs.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I've never been out of the United States so England sounds fun. Good for you to get back home and visit family. I know it must be hard to be so far away. Have you thought about adopting a dog here in the states?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have thought about it.  To be honest, I haven't done it because I sort of feel like it would be disloyal to my dogs back in England, as weird as that might sound.

im lactose intolerant.

I am a student. I signed up for a new class. I enrolled in an elective for history of martial arts. I want to major in an athletic training degree.

I have never left the US.  I would like to go to England.

I am a software engineer. I work from home. My work is busy.  I work with computers and have been debugging software.

I run half marathons. I studied martial arts.  I have not been training as much as I would like.  I want to travel.

I used to have dogs. I want a dog but feel bad my dogs are in England.

I want to go back to England to visit.  I have family and friends and dogs in England.

[Speaker 1] I started my class for history of martial arts and really love it

[Speaker 2] Oh really? Is it an easy elective?

[Speaker 1] It's pretty complicated, but really interesting - I think you'd enjoy it!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like it! Work has had me pretty busy lately, so I really haven't had time to do much.

[Speaker 1] That's a shame, do you have any holiday booked soon?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately no. I really want to go back to England to see everyone, so I might consider planning something soon.

[Speaker 1] Ah that would be nice - whereabouts in England are you from?

[Speaker 2] I'm from London! Have you ever been there before?

[Speaker 1] No, I've never left the US but I'd love to visit England one day! Do you miss London?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, very much so. My friends and family have been asking me when I plan on coming back.

[Speaker 1] Ahh, hopefully you can visit them soon! What are your favourite places to visit in England?

[Speaker 2] I really like visiting local restaurants. There's a lot of great places in London!

im lactose intolerant.

My class on the history of martial arts is interesting, but not easy. I love my class.

I think I would enjoy a class on the history of martial arts.

I do not have a holiday planned soon.

I am from London. I miss London. I have friends and family and dogs in London. I like visiting local restaurants in London.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite restaurant in London? Is the food a lot different there than it is in the US?

[Speaker 2] My favorite restaurant in London is a place called Sufi. It's a bit fancy, but the food is soooo good haha. I haven't been in a while though

[Speaker 1] Ahh my favorite restaurant is Taco Bell! A little less fancy lol.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, we really went there okay lol. I'm sure you have to jiu-jitsu the calories off haha. How has the martial arts teaching been?

[Speaker 1] I love teaching! I also love learning and it's so much fun being a teacher and a student!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to hear! I recently signed up for a class which teaches the history of martial arts. It's online and its pretty fun and laidback.

[Speaker 1] That's super cool, maybe we are taking the same class! Do you take classes often?

[Speaker 2] Occasionally I do if I find the time haha. My software work has been keeping me quite busy lately though. We've been working on the same project for a while now. How's your athletic training degree going?

[Speaker 1] I can imagine! College is hard but I imagine it will feel worthwhile when I get my degree!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it will! You should take breaks though when you can! Maybe you could try planning a trip for England? We could go together and try that restaurant I mentioned!

[Speaker 1] That would be so much fun! Maybe over spring break I can get off work!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan in the making already! I want to seem my dogs in London so bad too lol.

im lactose intolerant.

I am studying for an Athletic training degree in college.

I run half marathons. I take martial arts classes.  I have not been training as much as I would like.  I want to travel.

I do not have a holiday planned soon.

My favorite restaurant is Sufi.

[Speaker 1] I went to another martial arts class and had a blast.

[Speaker 2] That's great, were there a lot of students today? I've been at home working on a project.

[Speaker 1] Quite a few, but it wasn't too crowded. It was a nice change of scenery. What kind of project are you working on?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure the student appreciate that. You teach as a group as apposed to one-on-one right? And one of the companies I work for had their system hit with a virus so I've been upgraded their software to debug the system.

[Speaker 1] I teach group classes and one on one, but I was the student today. I specialize in jiu-jitsu but today I got to be the student in a taekwondo class.

[Speaker 2] That's even better, learning is a life-long journey. How are you class on martial art history? When you have time teach me too, I'd love to learn.

[Speaker 1] It's been a little stressful lately, because finals are coming up...but I'm confident in that class. I could've aced it before I even started! I'll definitely get started with you after finals.

[Speaker 2] Ahaha we;; for someone who's so passionate about martial arts I'm not surprised. Great, I'll try to be the best student I can. I'm starving, think I should grab some take-out from Sufi?

[Speaker 1] Of course! It's your favorite after all! Now you made me hungry! lol

[Speaker 2] Sorry for the typos and correction there's a restaurant here similar to Sufi's in London. They sell delicious Donairs, you should definitely try them out sometime.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check that out soon!

[Speaker 2] No problem. Do you have class today or just studying for finals?

[Speaker 1] Hi! Don't suppose you like league of legends?

[Speaker 2] Ahh no! But I am going to assume you do! :).

[Speaker 1] Just call me alistar. :p so, you aren't a gamer?

[Speaker 2] I am not lol but I am a high schooler haha.

[Speaker 1] You should try it! I love playing with my friends online.

[Speaker 2] Im gonna have to look it up! I might like it! I do like some games.

[Speaker 1] You don't need too much for a system. Though I did just get a new laptop.

[Speaker 2] I rarely have time for anything. Seems like I live at school. My parents are teachers! Ugh!

[Speaker 1] Teachers for parents, is that legal?!

[Speaker 2] Probably not. But it should be! I vote yes! Lol.

[Speaker 1] Any siblings to deflect their craziness?

[Speaker 2] Im an only child.. Sadly. Since your a gamer, do you play runescape?

I'm in high school.

There are some games that I do like.

[Speaker 1] You wouldn't believe it, but my laptop stopped working!

[Speaker 2] Really? Darn that really sucks. Are you going to take it in to be checked out?

[Speaker 1] I’ve made an appointment at the Genius Bar but they don’t have any opening till next week. I still can’t get over it grrrr

[Speaker 2] So sorry to hear that. You don't have a backup? I have a laptop you could borrow until yours is fixed. It's my old one, it's good for gaming.

[Speaker 1] Really? That is awfully nice of you! I feel like my oxygen supply has been cut off without my laptop lol

[Speaker 2] I can understand. You're more then welcome. I can bring it to school with me tomorrow. You could get it from me then. I guess I'm going to have to give in and download the League of Legends and play with you sometime.

[Speaker 1] Sounds great... I really appreciate it! You are going to love League of Legends... and I’m always available to play this with my friends... like ALWAYS!

[Speaker 2] Right on! I still can't believe you're laptop stopped working. Seeing as you just bought it, there should be a warranty with it.

[Speaker 1] That’s what’s so frustrating.... it’s hardly been a week since I got it. Thank God for warranties, plus I bought insurance so that’s one thing I’m not worried about!

[Speaker 2] Thankfully! Sometimes I think insurance plans are just a scam to get money but in cases like this it sure does help.

[Speaker 1] Spot on! I usually pass up on these plans but make an exception for my laptops! Oxygen, you see.... ;)

[Speaker 2] Yes, I see!! Haha. So have you tried runescape yet? I love it.

I'm a gamer. I love to play League of Legends with friends online. I play it a lot.

I just got a new laptop I have a warranty and insurance. I have a non-working laptop. I have an appt next week to fix the laptop at Genius Bar. I am lost without my laptop.

I pass on insurance also except for laptops.

I'm in high school.

There are some games that I do like.

I have and older extra laptop to lend. I am a gamer. I want to play League of Legends.

I sometime think adding insurance plans on stuff is a scam.

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much for letting me borrow your laptop.  I am happy to be playing League of Legends again

[Speaker 2] No problem! It was just sitting there on my desk gathering dust anyway. I'm glad you can play again! I'm still interested in trying out League of Legends. Any tips on getting started?

[Speaker 1] The best advice is just to jump right into the game. Don't worry about the characters. You'll learn them quick enough.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I'll give it a whirl after I finish this paper I've got to write. It's my last one before summer vacation so I want to nail it! It's tough when your parents are teachers - high expectations!

[Speaker 1] I'm going to use the laptop I borrowed to do schoolwork as well. Unfortunately I don't have time to play League all day long.

[Speaker 2] That's smart. What assignments do you still have left to do? Any finals?

[Speaker 1] I have a couple of reports to get done, between League games, LOL.

[Speaker 2] Of course, haha. I'm looking forward to being done with school and going on break. We're not going anywhere but it'll be nice to get back to gaming!

[Speaker 1] If I didn't have any responsibilities I would probably site and play League of Legends all day long. LOL.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I should probably look for a job, to be honest. Teachers don't make whole lot after all so if I want those extras, I'll need some cash.

[Speaker 1] Same for me. I wish I could make money from playing League instead of getting a job.

[Speaker 2] If only! Gaming would be an awesome summer job.

I have schoolwork to do. I have a couple of reports to do.

I'm in high school.

There are some games that I do like.

I've never played League of Legends, but I'm interested in starting.

I have to write a paper for school. I'm planning on trying out League of Legends after I finish my paper.

I'm looking forward to summer vacation. I'm not going anywhere during the summer. I like gaming.

I need to look for a job. My parents don't make a lot of money. I think gaming would be a great job.

[Speaker 1] I'm almost finished with my reports, but I think I'm going to take a break and play League of Legends.

[Speaker 2] What are the reports you need to do?

[Speaker 1] Actually a couple and I just need to tweak them a bit before game time woohoo! They’re for my job applications. By the way, are you done with your paper?

[Speaker 2] I finished most of it, but I'm not sure what to do for the last couple of paragraphs. I think I need to take a break from it and come back to it a bit later. We should play League of Legends together when we're both done.

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! I think you’re gonna love it!

[Speaker 2] I hope so! What jobs are you applying to?

[Speaker 1] I’m casting a wide net right now but like I said I’d love to combine my passion for gaming with my work :)

[Speaker 2] Maybe I should apply to the same places. I bet I'd like the same kind of jobs.

[Speaker 1] It’s a long shot but that would be über über cool… working in the same place and getting paid for doing what we love ;)

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we should definitely do that! It'd be great if we could start making the big bucks. Then I could buy a crazy PC and become a streamer!

[Speaker 1] Cheers to that! Hey all big entrepreneurs start with a vision and dream. I think we’re on the right track hehe

[Speaker 2] It'd be great to get some experience too. My parents are always telling me to stop playing video games and get a job. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I tell them that video games ARE my job!

I need a job. I wish I could make money through gaming. I am applying for jobs. I don't have a specific career path in mind.

I'm in high school.

There are some games that I do like.

I am almost done writing a paper.

I feel I would also enjoy a career in a gaming related field. I want to make a lot of money to buy a gaming PC and become a streamer.

I live with my parents who want me to get a job.

[Speaker 1] I just got called in for an interview to be a video game tester!

[Speaker 2] That's great. Do you think you'll get it?

[Speaker 1] Well I consider myself a top-tier expert gamer, so I think my chances are pretty good. Please wish me luck! I need to make some income very soon or I'm going to be in trouble with my credit card companies!

[Speaker 2] I'm routing for you! Do you know what games you'll be testing?

[Speaker 1] I'm pretty sure they're going to want me to test the Legend of Zelda, as well as Donkey Kong. Anyway, I hope that is the case, since I'm quite familiar with both of those games. Have you had any luck today on your job search for a summer job?

[Speaker 2] I love the Zelda games. The job sounds like a lot of fun. I think I've got a job in my uncle's kitchen helping out with the kitchen prep.

[Speaker 1] Are you excited about that, or do you wish you could just enjoy the summer without a job? What kind of food does your uncle's kitchen serve?

[Speaker 2] Not excited to be honest but my uncle is great and I wouldn't mind spending time with him. Plus I'm sure he'll give me a good pay and I can save up for a play station 5.

[Speaker 1] When I was in high school, I hated having to work and go to school, so I feel your pain. Just try to make the best of it, and don't forget that in the end it will pay off and you will be able to buy yourself that Play Station 5 you want so much.

[Speaker 2] Yes it's going to be fun in a way. I get to eat a lot of free pasta and I'll be spending most of my time at the back anyway. Did you get your laptop fixed?

[Speaker 1] No, I still haven't been able to get an appointment to get it fixed any sooner than next week. I'm so lost without my computer!

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. So how have you been gaming all this while?

I enjoy running.

Both my parents are vegan. My parents met in high school - the same high school that I attend. I am a high school student.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I like to walk in the wilderness as a hobby.

[Speaker 2] I am more into singing and traveling. I been to 20 countries already.

[Speaker 1] Wow a lot. People call me "red" after my hair of course!

[Speaker 2] Look at that, I colored my hair turquoise. My favorite colour.

[Speaker 1] I am sitting here sipping some lemon-lime citrus juice on ice.

[Speaker 2] Can I have some, I just finished running right now. Love to run.

[Speaker 1] Good idea. But I have t be careful, I am on a vegan diet.

[Speaker 2] My parents are vegan, they met in the same high school I attend right now.

[Speaker 1] My pet bird is on my shoulder bothering me.

[Speaker 2] Does it sing? Maybe we can do a duet. I am a great singer.

[Speaker 1] No, it just make loud noises like any parrot does.

[Speaker 2] Please tell me his feathers are my favorite colors. I like turquoise and red.

[Speaker 1] Pretty close, he is red and green color.

I enjoy walking in the wilderness.

I have red hair. My nickname is Red.

I am on a vegan diet.

I enjoy running.

[Speaker 1] Have you got any trips planned for your 21st country?!

[Speaker 2] I am between a couple countries, maybe you can help me decide! I want to go to either South Korea, or Japan, but I am not sure which one I should choose.

[Speaker 1] I'm not familiar with either.  What are you looking to do when you travel?

[Speaker 2] I am looking forward to some great museums, and trying some new food. I also want to run there.

[Speaker 1] I'd bet both places would have those options.  Why not visit both?!

[Speaker 2] Actually that is a terrific idea. I believe I'll visit one in the summer, and the other around Christmas time next year when I go on break.

[Speaker 1] Is it hard finding vegan options when you travel?

[Speaker 2] Not typically, most countries are accompanying to my vegan requirements that my parents handed down to me.

[Speaker 1] I too am vegan and sometimes have a difficult time finding vegan options when I go out to eat.  Maybe it's because of where I live.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am sorry to hear that. It is definitely more difficult to find vegan stuff, but I have been been getting lucky with them. Do you have a favorite vegan dish?

[Speaker 1] Not a favorite dish per se, but I love paneer tikka masala.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] Ooh that is a good one, I am a big fan of vegan meatballs!

I enjoy walking in the wilderness.

I have red hair. My nickname is Red.

I am vegan and I live somewhere where it is hard to find vegan food. I love paneer tikka masala.

I love singing. I like traveling. I have visited 21 countries. I would like to visit either South Korea or Japan.

I enjoy running.

I like museums, trying new food and running.

Me and my parents are vegans. I like vegan meatballs.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to go to a museum together?

[Speaker 2] Sure! and maybe we can get some vegan paneer tikka masala too?

[Speaker 1] That sounds great, and I know the perfect vegan place we can go to!!

[Speaker 2] Perfect! I always love getting out and trying new food!

[Speaker 1] Me too!! I wish there were more vegan places closer to where I live though.  Its so hard to find vegan food in my area.  What about you?

[Speaker 2] Sort of, but my parents cook my favorite vegan meatballs all the time so it works out.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome!  If they also have lemon-lime citrus juice, I'd eat there too!!

[Speaker 2] They totally do and i'm sure they'd be glad to make some for us! you should come over and have some, and maybe help me with some homework?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely!  What class is it for?

[Speaker 2] Music class, which is perfect as I love singing!

[Speaker 1] I tried to teach my parrot to sing once, but he just won't do it.  Maybe you could teach him?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a ton of fun, I'd love too!

I enjoy walking in the wilderness.

I have red hair. My nickname is Red.

I have a pet bird. My parrot does not sing. My parrot's feathers are red and green. I tried to teach him to sing but he won't do it.

I know a great vegan place. It is hard to find vegan places close to where I live.

I enjoy running.

My parents cook my favorite vegan meatballs all the time. My parents make lemon-lime citrus juice.

I could use help with my homework.

I am taking a music class. I love to sing.

[Speaker 1] I think I will get another parrot so my parrot can have a girlfriend.

[Speaker 2] That would be interesting! What would you name the parrot?

[Speaker 1] Well, the parrot I have now is named Roger, so I'm not sure. I'd kind of like something that would go along with that. Any ideas?

[Speaker 2] Hmmm, I do not know any good names for a parrot. How about Tweety?

[Speaker 1] My grandmother had a parakeet named Tweety, haha. I guess I'll have to think on it more. Maybe I'll just know her name when I see her the first time. I know that's how some people name their babies!

[Speaker 2] I think that would be an excellent name ! How long have you had your parrot?

[Speaker 1] Tweety? Yeah, it worked for her little yellow and green one. We'll see about it. I've had Roger for three years.

[Speaker 2] I would love to get a parrot! I think they would be lot of fun!

[Speaker 1] Oh, they're such fun pets for sure. Roger cracks me up big time. You could get one and teach him to sing.

[Speaker 2] Maybe when you teach him to sing, you can record it and send me a video!

[Speaker 1] Haha, no way! He's resisted all of my efforts to teach him so far. When you get your parrot, YOU can sing yours to sing!

[Speaker 2] I am going to look into getting a parrot over the weekend. I hope my local pet store has some available.

I enjoy walking in the wilderness.

I have red hair. My nickname is Red.

I have a pet bird. My parrot is named Roger. My parrot does not sing. My parrot's feathers are red and green. I tried to teach him to sing but he won't do it.

I am thinking about getting another parrot.

My grandma had a parakeet named Tweety. I have had Roger for 3 years. My grandma's parakeet was green and yellow.

My parrot is a lot of fun and makes me laugh. I have not been able to teach Roger to sing.

I enjoy running.

I could use help with my homework.

I do not own a parrot but would like to. I am going to see about getting a parrot this weekend. My area has a pet store.

[Speaker 1] I did forget to tell you that it is quite a bit to set up for one with the very large cage and all. I have equipment that I have upgraded over the last 3 years and I gathered my older stuff for you if you can come get it you can have it.

[Speaker 2] That's not a problem, I've got space. Are you free tomorrow evening? I can pick up some coffee or tea for you, if you'd like

[Speaker 1] Of course! As long as the coffee is Brazillian dark roast. I'm a bit of a coffee addict.

[Speaker 2] No problemo, black with no sugar right?How old is Roger by the way?

[Speaker 1] You got it. Roger almost four years old now. When ever you get a young pet bird, they always have to be weened from the mother first. That's why I couldn't get Roger as a baby.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I didn't know that. Also, turns out my parents made some lime juice, I make sure to grab some for you on the way there tomorrow. The parrot I went to see if about 2 years old, he's incredible cute.

[Speaker 1] What are you gonna name it? Also make sure that he's socialized with humans. Parrot bites are no fun.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking JayJay. Yeah the owners were warning me about that. He was trained not to bite and is social, but they said to be careful when he reaches puberty.

[Speaker 1] Looks like you picked some good owners. JayJay is catchy for bird like a parrot. They have so much personality. Just the other day I had Roger out his cage and built a little block wall. He literally knocked it completely down with his feet. That was fun to cleanup!

[Speaker 2] They were great, I get to pick him up Thursday. Thanks I thought it would be cute to say if he ended up talking. Ahaha, think Roger was laughing at you? My aunts parrot use to do that after creating a mess.

[Speaker 1] He was making some strange kind of noise. I never thought he could be laughing. That's really interesting! What was your aunt's parrot like?

[Speaker 2] He was very friendly, never took a bite out of anyone. It was slightly terrify that his laugh sound exactly like my aunts. I could never tell the difference with my eyes shut.

[Speaker 2] I would love to work in a office, preferably insurance. And that's great! I have a Labrador Retriever and a Pitbull. They are awesome!

[Speaker 1] those are such lovely breeds. smart and friendly and strong. do your dogs like doing tricks or are they too independent for that?

[Speaker 2] My Lab loves doing tricks, my Pitbull not too much. Do you do any art other than painting?

[Speaker 1] pittbulls have such cute faces that we can forgive the no tricks though right? :) and yes! I also am a photographer and I do wedding photogrpahy and portraits

[Speaker 2] Yes definitely! And that's awesome, I wish I could take better photographs!

[Speaker 1] honestly so much comes down to camera! I bet you're as good as I am when it comes to angles or knowing what to do -- the camera is what makes the picture fancy, not my skills, lol. do you use a phone camera or do you like to use a real camera for pics?

[Speaker 2] I use my phone, don't take enough pictures for a real camera. If I took better pictures I would post more on social media lol

I like to hike. I love nature.

I love animals. I am a dog groomer. I have a job, it is my dream and I feel lucky to have it. I have a lot of dogs all the time and they are sweet.

I am an artist. I like to paint. I paint and do photography. I do wedding photography and portraits. My skills don't make the pictures I take fancy, my camera does.

My mother is a nurse.

i love animals. I have 3 cats. I have a Labrador Retriever and a Pitbull. I have a dog named Rocco and another dog named Pebbles. My Lab likes to do tricks but my Pitbull does not.

I am a manger and I like it but I would rather be a manager somewhere else. I would like to work in an insurance office. I work in a grocery store.

I prefer small towns.

My first car was a hot ford mustang.

I wish I could take better photographs.

[Speaker 1] What do you and your dogs do on the weekends?

[Speaker 2] I like to take my dogs on long walks in the park on the weekends.

[Speaker 1] How lovely! Are they on leash or do you let them be :) Both Labradors and Pitbulls are full of energy!

[Speaker 2] My local park requires all dogs to be on a leash, so I follow the rules and make sure they are always on a leash.

[Speaker 1] Yes most parks do with a few exceptions! Do the kitties tag along too?!

[Speaker 2] My cats do not like exercise, they prefer to stay home and take a nap.

[Speaker 1] Haha why am I not surprised! By the way have you been applying for jobs at insurance offices?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have. I've got a few interviews lined up next week. I hope I get a job offer!

[Speaker 1] That is awesome.... all the very best with that! There’s nothing like doings work that you like :)

[Speaker 2] I agree wholeheartedly. How is your job going these days?

[Speaker 1] Like a dream... I enjoy it so much I should have to pay for having so much fun!

[Speaker 2] You're so lucky! How long have you been doing your dream job for?

I like to hike. I love nature.

My mother is a nurse.

I prefer small towns.

My first car was a hot ford mustang.

I wish I could take better photographs.

I take my dogs on long walks in the park on the weekends. I walk my dogs on a leash at the park. I don't walk my cats.

[Speaker 1] How did your job interviews go?

[Speaker 2] One of my interview pretty well. i answered everything cleverly, hoping to hear something later. Any portraits are you working on?

[Speaker 1] I've been painting a lot of landscapes. Usually photographic portraits are for customers, so I haven't had a chance to express myself that way.

[Speaker 2] that is cool you're doing what you like though. I usually use my phone for pictures and edit them on Lightroom or Photoshop them sometimes. Do you use any of those?

[Speaker 1] I have used the software for some cropping and enlarging, but most of the work is done with the camera. The right equipment and lighting makes it much easier to get a good result. Can't fix a bad photo with software.

[Speaker 2] I agree but my pictures need editing A LOT or social media will judge me pretty bad. Do you take pictures of pets?

[Speaker 1] I've taken before-and-after photos to show off my grooming skills. Sometimes clients wonder what their pet will look like, so I show them the photos of my work. The quality of the photo does a lot of the selling, actually.

[Speaker 2] that a good idea. Can you make my Rocco and Pebbles looks while one lay down there do nothing and other one just run around and do trick somehow LOL..

[Speaker 1] I see that you used to have a Mustang. I don't know much about cars. What kind of car was it? Did you modify it in any way?

[Speaker 2] Yes it was my first car. I did modified it with a spoiler and booster, people knew that i was coming and it was all muscle. Do you like muscle cars?

[Speaker 1] I guess so, but I'm not really a car person. I like to spend my time outdoors, hiking. I wish I knew more about vehicles.

[Speaker 2] I'mmore into new cars now like Tesla but they're expensive. Hiking is great, i have never hiked though. Any advice for the beginners?

I like to hike. I love nature.

My mother is a nurse.

I have been painting landscapes recently. I work on photographic portraits as a job.

I would rather take a good picture instead of editing the photo later. I like to use good lighting and equipment when I work.

I occasionally take photos of pets. I like to groom pets.

I'm not a car person. I like to go hiking. I like spending time outside. I would like to learn more about cars.

I prefer small towns.

My first car was a hot ford mustang. I modified my mustang into a muscle car.

I wish I could take better photographs.

I use my phone to take pictures. I don't take enough pictures to have a real camera. If I took more pictures I would post more on social media. I like to edit pictures with Lightroom or Photoshop.

I applied for jobs at insurance offices and have a few interviews next week. I did well on my job interview.

I like cars. My favorite cars are newer like Tesla. I can't afford a Tesla. I have never gone hiking. I would like to learn about hiking.

[Speaker 1] I have some time, do you want me to paint a portrait of your dogs? If you send me a pic I can paint a cool picture of Rocco and Pebbles.

[Speaker 2] You know, I just might have you do that. When would you need the pic by and how long would it take to paint it?

[Speaker 1] You could get the picture to me at any time. It would probably take me about a week to get it done, but I guess it really depends on how big you'd want it to be!

[Speaker 2] Ok, well, you know the only pictures I have are on my phone. Would it work if I sent one of those to you?As far as the size, I'm thinking for something to go in the livingroom above the sofa. What do you suggest?

[Speaker 1] A phone photo works just fine! Emailing it to me would probably be best. And I would say something to go above the sofa would have to be pretty large. Maybe 3 feet x 4 feet? But that's really big. That would probably take me a little longer than a week

[Speaker 2] Yikes!! I don't think I want it that big. I already have some pictures of my animals up there. Maybe a 24 by 20 inch would do. I wonder.....if I some pictures of the cats, could you put both the dogs and the cats in the picture?

[Speaker 1] OH! I didn't realize you had a collage going over your sofa. A 24 by 2o inch would definitely take less than a week. And yes! I can fit as many animals as you'd like! How many are we talking?

[Speaker 2] I think I'll just go with the 5...2 dogs and 3 cats. I want you to know, I really really appreciate this! I am surprised you have any time! Don't you have a lot of weddings to photo shoot this summer?

[Speaker 1] I have a couple weddings booked as of right now. I have to be honest, I prefer painting to photography. I will always take more time for my hobbies than my job.

[Speaker 2] It's nice that you have a good balance with everything. I'm still waiting to hear on my job interviews.

[Speaker 1] That can be so nerve wracking. Waiting for jobs to get back to you is like waiting for rain in a drought. Do you have any positions you really want?

[Speaker 2] LOL!! I am hoping for one of the agencies close to where I live and hopefully with an opportunity to advance to managerial. If I get something with a commute, that just has me on the road  too much and with the kiddos (2 dogs,3 cats) waiting at home, I wouldn't like that. So keep your fingers crossed I get something close.

I work at a restaurant.

I am an omnivore - I eat both meat and vegetables.

I love the beach.

I like Mediterranean food.

I have 5 grand children.

I am not a vegetarian. None of my grandchildren are vegetarians.

I like older bands like Styx and Journey.

[Speaker 1] Hey there. What are you up to today? I've been to the rock climbing gym.

[Speaker 2] Well, I was just at the beach, I love the beach.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I love taking long walks on the beach!

[Speaker 2] I am hungry, do you want to some meditarranean food, you won't regret it?

[Speaker 1] Actually, I work at a restaurant, why don't you come by?

[Speaker 2] Nice, I might come by with my five grandchildren, is that okay/.

[Speaker 1] Yes of course, is anyone vegetarian? I'm an omnivore myself.

[Speaker 2] No one is actually, but I might come by still. Hey do you like music?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I love the band 21 pilots. I'm going to their concert this week.

[Speaker 2] Nice man I actually like the old bands like styx and journey.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to go rock climbing with me tomorrow?

[Speaker 2] Would love to, hey what's your favorite season?

I work at a restaurant.

I love the beach.

I like Mediterranean food.

I have 5 grand children.

[Speaker 1] There was a fire at my restaurant but I managed to put it out!

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful. That must have been super scary. Did anyone get hurt? Was there a lot of damage? I am glad that you are okay!

[Speaker 1] i'm glad I am okay too! it was very scary. there's so much responsibility in moments like that! you must feel lots of responbsibility when you're watching the grandkids. they ever give you a run for your money?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, especially when they were younger. Now that they are grown, we have an understanding, and they behave pretty much. They do fight a lot with one another, but kids will be kids. How was the concert? My grandkids are always telling me about the latest music, but I can't keep up with it.

[Speaker 1] kids are resilient too. they get up to trouble but usually bounce back. :-) i'm glad they're easier to handle these days! the concert was pretty good -- they were surprisingly talented live! I love a good show. what's your favorite concert you've ever been to?

[Speaker 2] I went to an Aerosmith concert, and it was amazing. So much energy and the vibe was cool. Nothing like live music.

[Speaker 1] oh my goodness I LOVE aerosmith! that's so awesome! was it recent or back in their glory days?

[Speaker 2] Back in the glory days. :) I will never forget it. I would like to see them again, but I doubt it will be the same. Steven Tyler is aging and I am not sure how much he sings these days.

[Speaker 1] he's so talented. and I think one of the best things about him is that by all accounts he's an actually good guy. you never hear anyone say a bad word about him. which makes me feel good about liking the band, lol. it's always so disappointing to have a hero then find out theyre a jerk.

[Speaker 2] So true! He has like homeless shelters and things where he donates his time and money. I think that's so admirable.

[Speaker 1] agreed. and he and his daughter have a good relationship which is also a good thing. do you have a favorite aerosmith song?

[Speaker 2] I do! Love In An Elevator - something about it. Gives me chills.

I work at a restaurant.

I love the beach.

I like Mediterranean food.

I have 5 grand children. my grandkids are grown. they like to tell me about the latest music, but I can't keep up.

I went to an Aerosmith concert. the Aerosmith concert I went to was back in the days. I'd like to see them again. my favorite Aerosmith song is "Love in an elevator".

[Speaker 1] How are your grandkids doing?

[Speaker 2] They're doing well. They're telling me about all this pop music that they like but I don't know any of the bands. Do you know any pop bands?

[Speaker 1] There's so many!  I guess I'd need to narrow it down to what kind.. Like Kpop or mainstream top 40 radio bands...

[Speaker 2] Oh! I think I heard my grandkids talking about kpop but I didn't understand it. What is that anyways?

[Speaker 1] It's short for Korean pop bands.  It's mostly South Korean culture.

[Speaker 2] Well, I would imagine it's not much North Korean culture... That's interesting. Is that your favorite genre?

[Speaker 1] Not at all.  I like classic rock, like Aerosmith.

[Speaker 2] Great. Is that what they usually play at your restaurant?

[Speaker 1] They play a decent mix of songs at the restaurant.  Easy listening mostly so the diners have a relaxing experience

[Speaker 2] Oh that makes sense. Do you enjoy working there generally or is it too much work?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy it but it's very busy.  I like the interaction with people and every day is something different with customers or with experiences.  Like when I had to put out that fire!  Didn't think that would happen the day I went to work haha

[Speaker 2] Oh no! There was a fire? Was every ok? Did someone get fired?

I work at a restaurant. I enjoy working at the restaurant, but it's busy. I enjoy interacting with people at my job. There was a fire at my job.

I like 21 Pilots. I went to a 21 Pilots concert recently. I love Aerosmith. I know a lot about pop bands. I prefer classic rock.

I love the beach.

I like Mediterranean food.

[Speaker 1] Did you look into the kpop bands that your grandkids like?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes and they we’re mighty impressed! Thanks for educating me lol

[Speaker 1] No worries.  It can be hard to keep up with current trends these days thanks to the long reach of the internet.  Are they going to try and make you go to a concert with them some day?lol

[Speaker 2] Haha… I can see it coming! They won’t have to twist my arm… I feel so blessed to be able to spend so much time with them! But ya if it’s too crazy I’ll just shut my eyes and teleport myself to the Aerosmith concert in the glory days lol

[Speaker 1] I can't think of two acts more different.  The only similarity will be the screaming girls in the audience.lol

[Speaker 2] Hehe… true! By the way do you get to eat for free at the restaurant you work at?

[Speaker 1] We get two free meals per week and we can take home any left over baked goods at the end of the night so they don't go to waste.  It's a nice perk for sure.

[Speaker 2] Wow… that’s awesome! I’ve always thought that’s a gr8 perk myself!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's better than just a discount cause I shouldn't eat out too much since it's expensive and it saves me a little money on meals.  The food is good too.

[Speaker 2] That is really nice! What’s your schedule like? Do you work on weekends also?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately.  I usually work a double on Saturday and I work Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 8 hours each roughly.  It all depends on how busy we get.

[Speaker 2] Quite a hectic schedule you have… it’s a good thing you enjoy working there!

I know about Kpop bands. I know about different types of music.

I get two free meals a week from work. I can take home any leftover baked goods from work at night. I like to save money. I prefer getting free food to getting a discount. I like the food that my restaurant serves.

I have a busy work schedule. I work a double shift on Saturday. I work Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays.

I love the beach.

I like Mediterranean food.

I went to an Aerosmith concert when I was younger. the Aerosmith concert I went to was back in the days. I'd like to see them again. my favorite Aerosmith song is "Love in an elevator".

I don't know any of the new pop bands that my grandkids like. I don't understand much about kpop. I learned about Kpop to impress my grandkids.

I would like to get free food from a job.

[Speaker 1] I'm pretty excited! They just added one of my favorite dishes to the menu at work. I can't wait for my next shift so I can try it for free. I will send you a pic later, ok?

[Speaker 2] Okay, yes, please send me a pic as soon as you can. I can't wait to see it. What is the name of the dish?

[Speaker 1] It's a Chicken parmesan, with a red pepper marinara. It's so crisp and juicy-I love it! They serve it with these sweet roasted asparagus!

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds absolutely fabulous. Are you going to get a free dessert, as well?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am thinking about trying either the new eclairs, or their tres leches cake with fresh raspberry jam sauce and lemon drizzle! I have too many good options to pick from! What one would you pick?

[Speaker 2] Hands down, I would pick the tres leches. Ever since I tried it a few years ago, it has always been my favorite dessert.

[Speaker 1] Okay, I will try that! I've heard the can be made with different fruits. Did you have fruit with yours?

[Speaker 2] I like it best with fresh strawberries. And then it is even better with some fresh whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Just thinking about it is making me want to have some right now!

[Speaker 1] Ooh, that sounds delicious! It's a rich and moist cake, so I don't think it should have too much chocolate. I've seen brown sugar and caramel versions too!

[Speaker 2] Oh I've never seen that version. That sounds scrumptuous. Tonight I'm going to bake some oatmeal raisin cookies.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great! I love a good oatmeal raisin cookie with the right amount of cinnamon! My brothers don't like them though, haha. They call them the "vegetable of cookies" :)

[Speaker 2] Haha. Your brothers' tastes will probably mature with time. I bet someday they'll grow to love some good old cinnamon oatmeal raisin cookies.
