[Speaker 1] Hi, do you like spending time in nature?

[Speaker 2] If you count cruising as nature time then I do. Is that what you are into? Being outdoors?

[Speaker 1] Yea, I'm an artist so I like setting up my easel and painting the scenery.

[Speaker 2] I work in a warehouse so I should look into expressing my creativity that way.

[Speaker 1] Ah a warehouse. You a foreman? I am a veterinarian.

[Speaker 2] I work part time so no. Do you have animals of your own?.

[Speaker 1] Yes I do. I typically bring my dog with me when I go paint.

[Speaker 2] If I painted, I would listen to punk music. Do you have a favorite style of music?

[Speaker 1] I love rock music. Doesn't really align with my other interests.

[Speaker 2] It fits just fine. It's almost lunch time, I think I'm going to order a pizza.

[Speaker 1] Pizza is da bomb! Save me some haha.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I will try to!

[Speaker 1] I think I'm almost done with one of my portraits!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Who did you paint?

[Speaker 1] I painted Jimi Hendrix! Gotta honor the gods haha.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! How long have you been an artist?

[Speaker 1] I started when I was in high school. I was kind of a loner, so it kept me from abject misery lol.

[Speaker 2] I think we all go through that eventually. I like to travel and go on cruises. Nothing like seeing seas creature on the way there. It's a whole other world in the ocean it seems. You should make a painting of it sometime.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I'll have to! Underwater scenes are really technically difficult to paint. I'll have to bring my a-game!

[Speaker 2] I think the most difficult part would be getting all of the shades of blue. It's outstanding what the ocean looks like. Have you painted any of the work you do? Like maybe a painting of an x ray of a pregnant animal?

[Speaker 1] That's a cool idea! A bit wild, but hey, there's probably a market for that stuff!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure other veterinarian offices would buy it if you made posters and stuff like that. Showing what kind of worms look like what or diseases and rashes, stuff like that. I bet you could make bank if there are any veterinarian offices where the walls look bare.

[Speaker 1] Haha veterinarians don't always have the best aesthetic sense. I think there's a market there, though! Maybe I could put some of my work on our office's instagram account.

[Speaker 2] I think that would be a great idea. As long as you know the right people; I'm sure you could sell a lot of work in different areas. People, animals, scenery, and landscapes. Maybe try to go to an art auction and see if you could sale anything there?

I'm an artist that paints. I started painting in high school when i was a loner.

I'm a veterinarian.

I have a dog.

I like rock music.

I am painting a portrait. I like Jimi Hendrix and i painted a portrait of him.

I work in a warehouse.

I like punk music.

I like pizza.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about our conversation and i started painting a picture of dolphins

[Speaker 2] That's great.  Have you ever treated a dolphin as a veterinarian?

[Speaker 1] No, I deal strictly with land animals. What is your favorite sea creature?

[Speaker 2] There are all sorts of great sea creatures, from whales and dolphins to sharks and sea snakes. But I think my favorite are manatees.  Such peaceful creatures.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] I love and love to paint jellyfish, they are such peaceful creatures. Have you ever been stung by one while out on an excursion?

[Speaker 2] No, fortunately I haven't.  I know they can be deadly so I'm a little afraid of them.  But I agree that they're gorgeous creatures and great subjects for paintings.  I'd love to see some of your jellyfish paintings.  Do you paint with oil paints or watercolors or what?

[Speaker 1] I paint with pigments that I create from various plants, I am all about the plants, they sing to me like a rock and in their prime!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, you really are an artist!  Do you grow the plants yourself or find them in nature?

[Speaker 1] I like to go out into nature with my dog and see what can be found, I would never think about painting with pigments that came from some warehouse.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite color and what ingredients do you use to make it?  My favorite color is red.

[Speaker 1] Red is my favorite color as well and my favorite reds are made with  beetroot, rose petals, cranberries, and strawberries. I know, it sounds like a crazy vegetarian pizza!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's amazing.  I think I would end up eating most of your paints, either before or after you'd used them.  Now I really need to see your paintings!

I have a dog.

I like rock music. I like Jimi Hendrix and i painted a portrait of him.

I am painting a portrait.

I painted a picture of dolphins.

I am a vet who only deals with land animals.

I love to paint jellyfish. I like to paint and I use pigmants that I create from plants. I find the plants in nature.

Red is my favorite color.  I like to make red from beetroot, rose petals, cranberries, and strawberries.

I work in a warehouse.

I like punk music.

I like pizza.

I enjoy travelling and going on cruises because i like the ocean and the sea creatures. My favorite are manatees.

I go on excursions.  I'm afraid of jellyfish but never been stung by one.

Red is my favorite color.

[Speaker 1] I thought of you as I picked some rose petals which I turned into a pretty red hue!

[Speaker 2] Well that is exciting. What kind of painting are you working on?

[Speaker 1] I am always looking for something new to paint. I tend to use red way too much though. My latest is an apple orchard watercolor.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good time. You know me, can't have too much red. How far along are you?

[Speaker 1] Eh- I like it one minute and I think I am done and then the next I HATE it! lol- So are you planning any cruises in the near future? I would love to go with you. I promise I will help you not get stung by a jellyfish if we did any ocean swimming.

[Speaker 2] Those things are all over the ocean! I have a cruise coming up in a few months. You can still book! It is a 10 day cruise leaving from NJ to the Caribbean. Think you can make it?

[Speaker 1] Probably- I am always able to take time away but please swear that you will not subject me to your punk music unless we have had a few stiff drinks!

[Speaker 2] There will be many drink and much punk. That is perfect. We can also alternate choices with drinks. Will you bring your paints?

[Speaker 1] I would probably try to bring some to so some painting up on one of the decks. It sounds like it could be a blast. We could eat till we burst. I love that cruises always have so much food. I haven't cruised out of NJ yet. Send me all the details so I can check it out. I like to book excursions outside the cruise line on Viator so would like to know itinerary.

[Speaker 2] I've used Viator as well. It is very good. We will eat for days! NJ cruises are fine. No better or worse than lots of spots on the northeast coast. I'll send details shortly. This will be fun!

[Speaker 1] Great! We will have to plan a bunch before we leave. I would love to get a cabin close to yours. What cruise line is it?

[Speaker 2] Royal Caribbean. I am sure there are cabins left and I fully support any brunches.

I have a dog.

I am painting a portrait.

I painted a picture of dolphins.

I turn natural materials into pigments.

I enjoy painting. I like to paint with watercolor. I have painted an apple orchard.

I love the painting one minute and the next minute I hate it. I enjoy cruises. I will help you look out for jellyfish if we go swimming in the ocean.

I can go anytime but I do not enjoy punk music! I have to have several drinks in me before I can listen to it.

I have been on cruises before. I like the food availability on cruises. I have never cruised out of NJ. I like to go on excursions on cruises. I like the cruise line Viator. I would like the itinerary for a cruise.

I will book the cruise. I want to meet with you before the cruise. I want to have a cabin close to yours on the ship.

I work in a warehouse.

I like punk music.

I like pizza.

Red is my favorite color.

I think jellyfish are everywhere in the ocean! I am going on a 10 day cruise to the Caribbean in a few months. I think you can still get a place on this cruise.

I promise to alternate choices with you as we drink and listen to punk music.

I have also cruised on Viator. I think leaving from NJ is fine. I am excited about the cruise.

I am cruising on Royal Caribbean. I think there are plenty of cabins left. I am fully behind the decision to have brunch before we cruise.

[Speaker 1] I got my cruise booked!

[Speaker 2] That's great news! What is the first thing you plan on doing?

[Speaker 1] Buying you a beer! LOL. I also ordered some new paints to bring with me on the cruise as you recommended. Really, the first thing I want to do is check the color of the paints I made from rose petals to see if it is a perfect match to you!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! I would like that. That's a good start. I'd like to listen to some great music and relax some while sipping on a cold one.

[Speaker 1] Yes I know, I have mentally prepared myself to be inundated with punk music for the whole 10 days so I  bought a couple Ramones albums to see what the genre is all about. Is that a good punk band?

[Speaker 2] That's a great punk band. In my opinion, they are one of the best. I also think The talking heads are good too.

[Speaker 1] Ok, good. Well, I listened to a couple songs off one CD and quickly realized I was correct earlier to tell you I am gonna need a few stiff drinks before I can listen to much. Oh, and since we are gonna be drinking, I read about this really weird way to neutralize the effects of being stung by a jellyfish. I won't go into details, but it could be... Interesting.

[Speaker 2] That's okay. I understand. That does sound like it would be interesting. I would actually like to know how to neutralize the effects.

[Speaker 1] I can't wait to show you. Luckily alcohol makes me have to go to the bathroom a lot so I don't think there will be an issue showing you at the right time. By the way, have you booked any excursions yet? I booked the dolphin adventure one.

[Speaker 2] Lol. I have not booked anything yet, but I am in the process of it. The dolphin adventure one?

[Speaker 1] Ya I guess there is a giant pool and you get in there with the dolphins and swim around. They're booked in 30 minute increments so I got 1 hour. If you want, send me a list of what excursions you are interested in and I can book them as well.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like it would be fun. I will send you a list later on and can we'll figure it all out and I can let you book them.

[Speaker 2] I love reading too! Murder mystery novels are my favorite though.

[Speaker 1] Cool, do you have any animals? I love them.

[Speaker 1] I understand, I never see my mom because she is a doctor.

[Speaker 2] My doctor and I have the same favorite band: 5 finger death punch. What about your mom?

[Speaker 1] I don't know what type of music she likes..

[Speaker 2] Well, you should find out!

[Speaker 1] I will ask her tomorrow when she gets off work.

[Speaker 2] I hope you will, it's all I like to listen to when I get off work myself.

I have a garden.

I love reading murder mystery novels.

I sell cars for a living.

My mother was a police officer.

[Speaker 1] I started reading the second book in the "Twilight" series.

[Speaker 2] Having a doctor as your mother muyst be exciting.  I guess if you get hurt, she's right there ready to help.

[Speaker 1] true she is,  have you been listening to 5 finger death punch lately?

[Speaker 2] Not much, I've had a headache for a few days so no music or reading right now.  I think I need new glasses.  Are you enjoying the new Twilight book youre reading?

[Speaker 1] yes i am except i thought it was going to have more action. its still a good read that i would recommend. how long was youre mother a cop?

[Speaker 2] Just for the record. don't call them cops to their face...they don't like that.  I learned the hard way.  She's been on the force for 14 years and she loves it.  I guess we both have mothers with exciting careers.

[Speaker 1] legal gang is more like it. yes we do. hows youre garden coming along? planning on planting any weed?

[Speaker 2] No weed for me...remember, the mother is a COP!

[Speaker 1] she doesent give a pass to weed smokers? wow, what have you been plating then?

[Speaker 2] Just the normal stuff like carrots, tomatoes, green beans.  No passes for me, it's the straight and narrow.

[Speaker 1] sorry to hear that. i love tomatoes they go great with burgers

[Speaker 2] Yes they do.  Especially home grown tomatoes.  They are the best on a burger!

I read the book "Twilight.".
I love animals.
I am too young to drive.
My mother is a doctor.
I love tomatoes on hamburgers.

I love reading murder mystery novels.

I sell cars for a living.

My mother was a police officer. My mother has been a cop for 14 years.

I have a garden that I planted myself. I plant tomatoes, carrots, green beans.

[Speaker 1] When are you going to get your new glasses?

[Speaker 2] I've got an appointment set up for next week. Thank gosh, I can't deal with these headaches anymore and it'll be nice to see what's actually in my garden!

[Speaker 1] New glasses are the best! I just got a pair. They were having a 2 for 1 sale so I ended up some sunglasses for free! What style of frame do you like?

[Speaker 2] Oh nice, I've never had prescription sunglasses before! When I was a kid i did have glasses with sunglasses that clipped on. They were less than cool looking ha. I like basic black rimmed glasses. Rectangular but not too big, I've got a tiny head. Where did you go for yours?

[Speaker 1] Lenscrafters. I also like rectangular. Though I saw a guy on TV the other day who had one lens square and the other in a circle. It was wild! And not something I could ever pull off.

[Speaker 2] Maybe I'll make an appointment there instead. I'll have to see if they take my insurance. Glasses have gotten wild lately! There are soo many different styles out there, but like you said, I could not rock them ha. If I did get two pairs maybe I could at least get one in a funky color. Maybe red??

[Speaker 1] Red would be fun! Remind me, what color hair do you have? That would depend on the color. I can wear blue really well with my black hair. But red looks too jarring on me personally.

[Speaker 2] It's brown right now but I was thinking about going blonde again. But either way I think red would work, I'm sold! I think red would look cool with how dark your hair is; it would be a nice juxtaposition. But what kind did you end up getting?

[Speaker 1] I got black rectangular for the daily gasses, and bigger ones for the sunglasses. Remember back in the day when we could rock the BIG glasses? that basically covered your eyebrows and part of your cheeks? Haha. Those were the days!

[Speaker 2] Oooh, did they have a lot of different styles for the sunglasses? Oh gosh yes, Mine we're this horrible clear plastic and so think they gave me bug eyes! I do not miss that one bit.

[Speaker 1] Haha, mine were also clear plastic. And I had a sparkly pair. They didn't have a huge selection for sunglasses. I got Coach brand. They fit well and I can see while driving so that's a plus! Are you brand loyal?

[Speaker 2] I always wanted a sparkly pair but never got one! I am jealous ha. Oh nice! Nope, any brand works for me if it means I can see! Well I think I've decided, I'm going to my normal pair and sunglasses for me to wear in the garden. My bold red pair will have to wait until the next sale!

I read the book "Twilight.".

I love animals.

I am too young to drive.

My mother is a doctor.

I love tomatoes on hamburgers.

I just got a pair of new glasses and a pair of sunglasses on sale. I like rectangular glasses.

I have black hair.

I love reading murder mystery novels.

I sell cars for a living.

I need new new eyeglasses. My current glasses give me a headache. I need new glasses. I have an optometrist appointment next week. I have insurance.

I have never had prescription sunglasses before. I like basic black rimmed rectangular glasses. I have a tiny head.

I have brown hair. I have had blonde hair in the past.

I am not brand loyal. I am going to buy glasses and sunglasses.

[Speaker 1] Did you change your appointment to Lenscrafters?

[Speaker 2] I did. It's a better fit for me all around. I can't wait to get my prescription sunglasses!

[Speaker 1] They're the best. I like to get my sunglasses wild and crazy and keep my regular glasses boring. What did you get?

[Speaker 2] I ended up getting a pair of Ray-Bans. They were expensive but I think they will last. I'll have to adjust to bring both sets of glasses, so I can switch them out when I walk into a store/restaurant.

[Speaker 1] That's what I do. It's not too annoying. How is your garden growing?

[Speaker 2] It's not booming, like usual. But we've had some weird weather, I am hoping it catches up. Do you have any pets? I want to get a dog.

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I want to get a cat, I'm waiting for my mom to take me up to the shelter since I can't drive yet.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome you want to rescue one! I definitely want to rescue a dog. Are you parents excited about getting a cat?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, my mom isn't home much because of her job. But she does at least believe that I need to learn how to care for the animals I love to play with so much.

[Speaker 2] That's good. Have you thought about what you will name the cat yet? That's always fun.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. I like giving animals "Proper" names. I think it's funny. Something like Dr. Fuzzykins

[Speaker 2] That's cute. I love weird names.

I read the book "Twilight.".

I love animals.

I am too young to drive.

My mother is a doctor. I live with my mom.

I love tomatoes on hamburgers.

I have black hair.

I have black rectangular glasses. My sunglasses are bigger than my glasses. I had clear plastic sunglasses in the past. I had Coach sunglasses. I like Lenscrafters.

I do not have any pets. I want to get a cat from the shelter. I do not know what I will name my cat yet.

I love reading murder mystery novels.

I sell cars for a living.

I am not brand loyal. I am getting prescription sunglasses from Lenscrafters. The sunglasses I got were Ray-Bans. I also wear prescription glasses.

I want to get a dog.

I want to get my dog from a rescue.

I love weird names.

[Speaker 1] I thought of a few potential names for my cat! Do you want to hear them?

[Speaker 2] Yes, please! I am glad to hear you went ahead with adopting one.

[Speaker 1] I haven't made any final decisions yet, but so far I like Oreo, Snowball, Jinx. Did you put any more thought into rescuing a dog?

[Speaker 2] Those names are good but far too commonplace. What about Kit-terror or Tawny Kittentaen or Morpheus Bloodsquatch? Lil' Puss Narwhales-Bane?  I have made progress on the dog, I've visited a shelter twice.

[Speaker 1] I will have to think of some more. You really do like weird names. I should find a black cat and name it Lucifer Prince of Darkness. Did you pick any names out yet?

[Speaker 2] No it depends on what kind of dog, whether its a boy or girl, and what their personality is like. I am thinking about Woke Bloke or Del tha Funky Homosapien though.

[Speaker 1] I like those names. Did you see any dogs you liked at the shelter?

[Speaker 2] I'm looking for a dachsund / terrier or hound terrier mix. BEST DOGS EVER. What's your cat like?

[Speaker 1] I have to wait until my mom isn't too busy to take me to the shelter. I want to find a long hair kitten or a tabby. Is it hard to find a particular breed at a shelter?

[Speaker 2] I misread your earlier text, I thought you had the kitty already. I  think you're likely to find either long hairs or tabbies at shelters, I think if it was something weird like a Manx or Maine Coon it would be different

[Speaker 1] That's good, I just really want to adopt a cat. I read those breeds can be expensive. Are the dog breeds you're looking for hard to find?

[Speaker 2] not really hard, and it's more of "I'll know him when I see him" type thing. We should get together and go "cat shopping" so to speak. And then maybe you could help me pick out new frames after my optometrist appt. We could make a day of it.


I am a new mother with twins.

My husband often travels for work and I am a stay at home mother.

We regularly attend worship services every sunday.

I am from sweden and have lived in the us for 12 years.

I love tennis and play every week if I can.

I grew up in the city.
My favorite drink is iced tea.
I love visiting the zoo.
I have one cat that just had a kitten.
I just got a new hair cut and color.

I am taking tennis lessons.

I have a husband. My husband works out of town often.

My family lives in Sweden. I am lonely sometimes.

I like tennis. My work makes me bored.

I do not have much free time. I have a career and do side work.

I am currently moving. I go to church. My family life is hard.

I live in Florida. I like the sunny weather.

[Speaker 1] Hello, just finished up my tennis lesson.

[Speaker 2] Cool love tennis I am at work bored to death.

[Speaker 1] Darn, I stay at home with my twin daughters..

[Speaker 2] I have two daughters to 5 years old and 3 months.

[Speaker 1] Cute! Do you have any free time?

[Speaker 2] Barely between my regular career and turking it is hard lately I have been cutting back.

[Speaker 1] I hear ya, I only have time for tennis and church on sundays.

[Speaker 2] I do have time for church but I have been moving lately family life is hard.

[Speaker 1] My husband is gone every other week for work, its rough.

[Speaker 2] Really that sounds hard I feel for you but it will get better overtime.

[Speaker 1] I hope so, my family lives in sweden, so I can be lonely.

[Speaker 2] Wow that is very far we stay in florida sunny weather.

I am taking tennis lessons.

I like tennis. My work makes me bored.

[Speaker 1] Does your older daughter enjoy having a baby sister around or are there jealousy issues starting?

[Speaker 2] My oldest loves her baby sister, but I think she does get jealous of her sometimes. She was used to being the only one and got all of the attention until she was 2 years old, so that is tough. I do my best to give them both equal attention, but it is challenging.

[Speaker 1] I'm lucky to have twins so I haven't run into any issues like that. I also have challenges with making sure both my kids are entertained and happy, especially when my husband is out of town. Does it get tough for you between moving and your career?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! I usually feel like I'm being pulled in ten different directions and I'm left with my head spinning! I'm sure you can relate, considering you have twins. Do you ever have time to yourself? I seldom do, sadly.

[Speaker 1] I don't get much free time, but I try to find pleasure in everything I do. I'm also lucky enough not to work out of the home, so I can find small moments to relax throughout the day. It gets easier as the kids get older, too

[Speaker 2] Ah yes, I'm sure working from home helps out a lot. I do get some time to unwind on Thursday nights. I love it. I usually take a bubble bath and have a glass of red wine. It's the only time that I can finally enjoy some quiet time!

[Speaker 1] Excellent! I try to treat my tennis lessons and going to church as my 'me time' but I do like to spoil myself now and again. How is moving going?

[Speaker 2] Moving is going well, but I will be happy when it's over! We have a moving company coming on Saturday to take the rest of the stuff. Hiring a moving company was well worth the cost, that's for sure! So much easier!

[Speaker 1] I hired a moving company to help me when I left my family in Sweden. Definitely helpful, especially for an international move. I really hope your move goes smoothly! Are you staying in Florida?

[Speaker 2] Thank you! Yes, we are staying in Florida. We enjoy the weather way too much to leave. You just can't beat it! Beautiful sunshine nearly every day!

[Speaker 1] I believe it. I always feel bad for my family that's still stuck in the cold Swedish weather. What's the reason for your move again?

[Speaker 2] Well, we just wanted a larger living space, really. We found a beautiful home on the beach and couldn't pass it up! You need to come visit sometime and check it out!

I am taking tennis lessons.

I do not work outside of the home. I have twin daughters. I feel luck my children are twins. They are not jealous of each other.

My husband works out of town often.

I don't get much free time. I'm lucky to not work out of the home. I treat my tennis lessons and church as 'me time'.

I hired a moving company to help me move from Sweden. I feel bad for my family because they still live in Sweden where it is cold.

I like tennis. My work makes me bored.

I have two daughters. My daughters are 5 years old and 3 months old. Sometimes I think my oldest daughter is jealous of her little sister. I try to give both of my daughters equal attention.

I am currently moving. I will be happy when the move is over. I am glad I hired a moving company. I am not moving away from Florida. I love it too much to leave. We ae moving to a larger home on the beach.

I go to church. My family life is hard.

I'm always busy and torn between my career and family. I seldom have time for myself.

I get time to unwind on Thursday nights.

[Speaker 1] A home on the beach sounds wonderful. How close to the water will you be?

[Speaker 2] We're going to be right on the coastline! I'm pretty sure there are going to be steps that go down onto the sand - really pretty stuff. You should really come visit once we settle in. I know you'd probably want to get out of the Sweden cold.

[Speaker 1] I would love to visit! I don't really have much free time, but I would love to make it happen. Is your family excited about the move?

[Speaker 2] I sure hope they are! Obviously I can't really ask the 3 month old, but my older daughter is excited to live in a "beach palace"... her words, not mine.

[Speaker 1] Wow, I'm glad to hear they're excited! I've been trying to move out of Sweden, but it's been tough. I've still been saving up for a nice place I want to move to in Texas.

[Speaker 2] That's rough to hear. Well, I have some cousins in Texas! I can always reach out to them if you ever need any advice or insider info on the area - don't hesitate to ask.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I'll let you know if I need some advice for sure! Have you found any unwinding time for yourself recently? It's important to destress!

[Speaker 2] I still only really get free time on Thursday nights, though I've been trying to be more available for my daughters on the weekends, since that's when they always want to go out and do stuff. You're right though, I probably should make more of an effort to carve out some time for myself.

[Speaker 1] Yeah kids can be a handful for sure. Thankfully my twins usually get along quite well! One of them recently started singing in our church quire! She made the decision completely by herself too.

[Speaker 2] Haha that's really cute. I feel like I need to drag my kids to church every week, so we have totally different experiences on that end.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I can imagine haha. Have you played tennis recently by the way? My tennis lessons are going really well. I'm beginning to hit my strokes a lot better!

[Speaker 2] Honestly, I haven't really been able to find the time! I bet you could totally whoop me by now...maybe when you come out and visit we can have a little 1v1 and see how it goes!

I am taking tennis lessons.

I go to church on Sundays. I do not have much free time. One of the twins, my daughter, sings in the church choir.

My husband works out of town often.

I would like to visit the beach.

I've been trying to move out of Sweden. I have been saving to move to Texas.

I like tennis. My work makes me bored.

I go to church. My family life is hard.

I'm moving with my family to the beach. I have cousins in Texas.

I only have free time on Thursday nights. My daughters like to do stuff on the weekends. I try to do stuff with my daughters on the weekends.

I like to play tennis. I don't really have time for tennis.

[Speaker 1] I got a black eye during tennis practice today. I didn't realize this was such a dangerous sport.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I wouldn't think it would be dangerous. What happened? You must have got hit pretty good.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I misjudged the ball and it hit me in the eye.

[Speaker 2] That's a bummer - hopefully it heals quick.

[Speaker 1] Yeah.  Have you been able to play tennis lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really. Since we are moving, I've been busy getting things organized and packing. It's a bummer, it's been beautiful tennis weather.

[Speaker 1] Florida has year around tennis weather, haha.

[Speaker 2] That's true, but sometimes its way to humid to be outside and active.

[Speaker 1] True.  Where are you moving to in Flordia?

[Speaker 2] 6 weeks. Not a lot of time to coordinate a family move. I'm getting a bit stressed.

[Speaker 1] Make sure that you take some time for yourself.  I know that you don't have much free time.

[Speaker 2] True. I almost wish we were moving sooner, so all of this can be over and done, but we don't close on the new house for 6 weeks. The craziness continues.

I am taking tennis lessons.

My husband works out of town often.

I would like to visit the beach.

I got a black eye today while practicing tennis.

I like tennis. My work makes me bored.

I go to church. My family life is hard.

I move to Florida in 6 weeks with my family into a house.

[Speaker 1] My black eye has gotten a lot better.

[Speaker 2] That's a relief. I can't imagine how painful it is to get hit full force with a tennis ball in the eye. Do you think it caused any long term damage?

[Speaker 1] Thankfully not! It hurt for awhile but now it just looks bad with the bruise turning green and purple. Have you been on the courts lately or have you still been too busy?

[Speaker 2] I've still been too busy preparing for our big move! I've been daydreaming about getting back on the courts though. I think I may pick up some protect eye gear so I can avoid any eye mishaps, haha. Have you given any more thought of moving?

[Speaker 1] No I don't think I am going to be moving anytime soon. Where do you go for your sports equipment? I need a new place to browse.

[Speaker 2] Well, I usually go to some locally owned tennis shops near my courts. I really enjoy supporting small business. However, sometimes the small shops don't have what I'm looking for. In those cases I check out Dick's Sporting Goods. I'm not sure if you have those in Sweden, but they might ship internationally!

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah shopping local is important! I am glad to hear you are going to the smaller tennis shops.

[Speaker 2] What sort of tennis equipment are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] I dunno, maybe some cool handle wrap.

[Speaker 2] That'd be neat. Do you have a preference in color or pattern design? My handle wrap is bright green with stripes!

[Speaker 1] I think I want something patterned. I have a daisy dampener on my racket so maybe something that goes with that.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really pretty. Let me know if you find anything you like.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today.

[Speaker 2] Great, I just came back from highschool, how are you doing?

[Speaker 1] I'm okay had a hard day at work.

[Speaker 2] I do not have those problems yet, I am still a young girl.

[Speaker 1] That's good for you what do you want to do.

[Speaker 2] I would like to be a teacher someday, both of my parents are teachers.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea.

[Speaker 2] I know, I would probably be an english teacher, it's my favorite subject.

[Speaker 1] You sound like my child.

[Speaker 2] Really? Does your child enjoy marching bands or concert bands too? I love those.

[Speaker 1] Yes actually. Are you my child?.

[Speaker 2] That would be weird, I have my parents right here with me lol.

[Speaker 1] Oh then I guess not haha.

[Speaker 2] How old is your child?

I have a job.

I am in high school.

I am female.

I enjoy marching and concerts bands.

[Speaker 1] What new bands have you listened to recently?

[Speaker 2] Lately I've been listening to Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.

[Speaker 1] I like Maroon 5 too. My child has been listening to Disney songs lately.

[Speaker 2] I'm not embarrassed to say that I really like Disney's "High School Musical". I like Hillary Duff's voice and Zac Efron is so hot!

[Speaker 1] The songs are very catchy in High School Musical. Some of those stars have good voices. Have you been to any concerts lately or are you planning to see any new bands?

[Speaker 2] I know! I love watching it! Speaking of kid-oriented musical movies, I also love the movie "Sing". I'd love to go to a concert this summer after I get out of school. I'm not sure who I want to see yet, though.

[Speaker 1] Sing is a good movie. How is school going?

[Speaker 2] Ugh, I have final exams coming up and I'm so not prepared. I also have an English term paper due, and I really need to nail it to get a good grade. When I apply for colleges, I'll need this grade to get into a good teaching program.

[Speaker 1] Final exams are tough. Are you still planning to pursue becoming an English teacher?

[Speaker 2] Yes, being an English teacher is my dream. However, I'll be taking electives in college, and I might end up wanting to pursue teaching in a different subject. I'm going to go into it with an open mind.

[Speaker 1] Keeping options open is a good idea. You never know what may interest you with the many different classes you'll take.

[Speaker 2] For sure. Is your kid still in school or all grown-up?

I have a job.

My child enjoys marching and concerts bands. My child likes Disney music.

I like to listen to Maroon5 music.

I am female.

I enjoy marching and concerts bands.

I like Maroon5, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay and Bruno Mars.

I like the movie High School Musical. I like Hillary Duff's voice. I think Zac Efron is hot.

I like the children's movie, Sing. I would like to attend a concert when school is out.

I am in high school.I am not prepared for my final exams. I have an English term paper due. I want to apply for college. I want to go to college to become an English teacher.I will be taking electives in college. I am not opposed to teaching a subject besides English.

[Speaker 1] I have been thinking of you this week, how are the final exams going and your English term paper coming?

[Speaker 2] My English term paper is one of the only smooth thing that is going great. I've already completed 75% of my paper. I'm just trying to ad a spell binding conclusion to it. How you seen any good movie's lately?

[Speaker 1] No, but I saw some trailers for some movies I'd like to see, like The Transformers, Interstellar, and Death Wish. My child expressed interest in Interstellar. I hope you do well with your paper.

[Speaker 2] I really hope so also because it's 25 percent of my whole course grade. I got accepted to Stanford but I am waiting to see if I got accepted anywhere else. Where do you think I should go to college?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure since I never went to college. I remember one night when I was in high school I stayed up all night writing a paper about Benjamin Franklin and ended up getting an A. I definitely hope my kid goes to college.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean, My parents didn't graduate from college, but they keep pressuring me to go. I guess they are trying to push there desire of going to college on me. Since I have a 4.5 GPA, I am hoping to get a scholarship from whatever school I attend. Wouldn't that be awesome!

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be great. What is your term paper about? Do you like the topic. I didn't like any of the topics I had to write about in high school.

[Speaker 2] I chose a very unique topic about one of our great presidents of America, Richard Nixon. Everyone thinks he is a crook, but he did a lot for our country. Do you think he's a crook?

[Speaker 1] All I know is that it's common opinion that he is a crook. I try not to get involved in politics, so I just say I agree with common opinion without really meaning it. How many pages does your paper have to be? My paper about Benjamin Franklin was 5 pages.

[Speaker 2] Minimum is 10 pages, but we can go up to 12. I've been racking my brain about what electives I want to take in college. Do you think I should minor in Accounting or Computer Science?

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's a lot of pages. My cousin told me he once took a college course in conspiracy theories. Maybe you would be interested in that. Whether you take accounting or computer science depends I think on whether you are more interested in money or technology.

[Speaker 2] That is a good point! Conspiracy theories are fun. I was listening to a pod cast that was all about conspiracy theories. Very intriguing. Hey, I got to go, my son is bothering me to get our DVD out on the musical sing. He wants to watch it for the hundredth time..

I have a job.

I like to listen to Maroon5 music.

I like to watch High School Musical. I like the children's movie, Sing. I am interested in action movies.

I don't attend college. I wrote a paper about Ben Franklin, hope child advances school career.

I dont get involved in conversations about politics. Will agree to avoid conflict.

I have a cousin.

I am female.

I enjoy marching and concerts bands.

I am accepted to Stanford, but keeping options open. a little nervous about the grade of the paper. possibly the first to go to college in family. I want to make parents proud. Maybe lower income due to needing scholarships. trying to figure out what to do in college.

I am interested in politics, and others opinions about politicians.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen the new High School Musical TV show? I enjoy watching Disney + with my child.

[Speaker 2] Of course I've seen it! Nobody compares to Zac though. I'm sure it's a good break from watching frozen.

[Speaker 1] I like Frozen! I can sing all their songs!

[Speaker 2] Does you child sing too?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, but honestly my voice is better haha. Why do you want to be an English teacher?

[Speaker 2] You know how it is to learn things, I love learning and I want teach kids the right history.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. Are you parents happy you got accepted to college?

[Speaker 2] I haven't had a good chatt with them yet, but I hope I'm making them happy. What do you want your child to do?

[Speaker 1] It's been a dream of mine to become a Nasa engineer. I just think that'll be so cool!!

[Speaker 2] I thought you had a job already though? What do you hope your kid becomes?

[Speaker 1] I do have a job, that was my dream for my kid to become

[Speaker 2] Oh, ok. Are you sure you don't want them to becomr a Disney star?

I like to listen to Maroon5 music.

I have a cousin.

I have a Child who I enjoy watching Disney+ with. I like Frozen and know all the songs. my child sings along too, but i sing better.

it's a dream of mine to become a NASA engineer. I have a job, I dream for my child to become a NASA engineer.

I am female.

My parents are teachers. I want to be an English teacher because i love learning and want teach kids the right history. My favorite school subject is English.

I enjoy marching and concerts bands.

I enjoy Disney+ as well.

[Speaker 1] My child met an aerospace engineer at school and now wants to go to NASA summer camp!

[Speaker 2] Space camp is awesome!! they will love it.

[Speaker 1] I know I wish I got to go when I was there age! I just have to find one that is later in the summer.

[Speaker 2] Do the ones later in the summer accept adults. LOL. If so where do I sign up?

[Speaker 1] I wonder if there is any kind of program  for college aged students like yourself... Are you still thinking of going to standford?

[Speaker 2] That would be so cool!! Yes Iam, I will be surprising my parents with the news tonight at dinner, I have planned the whole thing like a gender reveal party LMAO!!

[Speaker 1] Oh WOW! Make sure that your reveal doesn't catch anything on fire hahaha.

[Speaker 2] Hahah! No worries it contains no explosives or anything like that.  It is a cake that I made that reveals my surprise after you cut into it.

[Speaker 1] Thats so cool! You should record their reactions and send it to me via email.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am for sure. I have my besties filming the whole thing live on social media. Hey you should watch. I will email you the link if you want?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah that will be great! My email is still at YAHOO because I am old.

[Speaker 2] LOL! At least it is not an HOTMAIL or AOL address!! HAHAH . I have a whole Frozen theme planned for it. I know you would love that.


I am the only child of my parents.

My father was in the navy.

I went to school in france and spain.

I have two dogs named bounty and snickers.

I like eating burgers and fries.

I love to read.
I love animals.
I am a really kind person.
My mom is a doctor.
My dad is a fireman.

I am an only child.
My dad has a kind heart.

My mom is a doctor. My dad is a Fireman.

I have a really kind heart.

My dad went to College of the hard knocks. I have pets.

[Speaker 1] My parents only have one child, how about you..

[Speaker 2] Yeah my doctor mom and fireman dad have enough to deal with without more kids.

[Speaker 1] My did join the navy.

[Speaker 2] He sounds like he has a really kind heart. Very similar to me.

[Speaker 1] Yes he is. What college went to..

[Speaker 2] College of the hard knocks. I read a lot, love reading to my pet animals.

[Speaker 1] For college I went to france and spain for pastry..

[Speaker 2] Growing up with my mom as a doctor I was never allowed to have pastries.

[Speaker 1] Okay. Do love pets I have 2 dogs there name I bounty and snickers.

[Speaker 2] Dogs are my favorite though all animals are lovely to me.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. What type of food you like. Me it is burgers and fries..

[Speaker 2] Any kind of meat, as great as animals are, I mostly like to eat them.

I have a really kind heart.

[Speaker 1] You mentioned earlier you have pets. What pets do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a cat, some fish, and a couple of ducks.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow... that sounds like a mini zoo to me! I have been contemplating getting a pet too...

[Speaker 2] What kind of pet were you thinking of getting?

[Speaker 1] I’m leaning towards getting a pup... maybe a lab or golden retriever. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I think it depends on how active you want to be with your pet. My pets only require a bit of attention each day. They mostly like to keep to themselves. But a dog would probably want a lot of affection.

[Speaker 1] Actually being an only child, my dogs Bounty and Snickers have been like siblings but now they’re both senior citizens and getting a pup might be good for them as well. You’re right it’s demanding.. but so worth it :)

[Speaker 2] It would probably be nice for kids if you have any or are thinking of having any. The dog would enjoy playing with them too.

[Speaker 1] Yes ... I have a friend who is a breeder and I’m hoping to go checkout the litter she sent me cute pics of!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think it'd be a good idea to spend some time with them and see them before you commit to getting one.

[Speaker 1] Yeah... let’s see. I must say I don’t know anyone else who has a duck for a pet. Is it easy to care for ducks?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's not too bad. They just need a friend, some food, and plenty of fresh water to keep them happy.

I am an only child.

My dad has a kind heart.

I'm thinking of getting a pet. I might get a puppy lab or golden retriever.  I have two elderly dogs that I've had for a long time. A friend is a breeder who has a new liter of pups.

I don't know anyone else with a pet duck.

I have a really kind heart.

I have a cat. I have some fish. I have a couple of ducks. I find ducks easy to care for.

[Speaker 1] I saw my breeder friend and ended up taking home a pup!

[Speaker 2] thats great news!  what breed is it and have you picked out a name?

[Speaker 1] Actually I got a black lab. He is so cute. I still haven't named him. Any ideas for a name?

[Speaker 2] My pets all have video game names, like the cat is names Zelda and the fish are named after the pac man ghosts.

[Speaker 1] That is very unique and catchy. Maybe I'll name him Mario since I liked Mario Bros as a kid. Do you play Zelda?

[Speaker 2] I used to back on the NES and on N64, none of the new stuff.  But it still looks fun

[Speaker 1] Yeah I just don't have time for video games anymore. Loved playing as a kid. Have you read any good books lately?

[Speaker 2] i just started reading shadow and bone, it reminds me of Harry Potter

[Speaker 1] Oh, I like the Harry otter books. Maybe I'll look into Shadow and Bone too. is it a series like Harry Potter?

[Speaker 2] its about Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom's magical elite

[Speaker 1] Sounds very interesting. I will definitely look into it. Are you reading it to your pets?

[Speaker 2] no, i read faster to myself than out loud.  Zelda likes to lay on my lap while reading though

I am an only child.

My dad has a kind heart.

I just got a new black lab puppy.

I liked to play Mario Bros when I was a kid. I am too busy for video games.

I enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books.

I have a really kind heart.

I have a cat named Zelda. I have fish I named my fish after the pac man ghosts. I like video games.

I used to enjoy playing the NES and N64.

I like to read. I read Harry Potter. I am reading Shadow and bone now.

I like reading fantasy adventure books. I can read quickly to myself.

[Speaker 1] I decided on two names for my new puppy and I want to get your opinion so I can narrow it down to one name. What do you think about Zeus or Polo?

[Speaker 2] I know what Zeus is from, but what is Polo from? Also what kind of personaility does it have?

[Speaker 1] Polo comes from Marco Polo, but I just thought it was a cool name. He is pretty crazy and very curious.

[Speaker 2] Zeus would be better for crazy, but curious is better for polo. Either would be good then haha.

[Speaker 1] Hm, well that wasn't very helpful haha. Maybe I will need to think of a third options that captures his entire personality. How are your ducks btw?

[Speaker 2] I'd go with Zeus then He's crazy and curious in a bad way. I had a little problem with Zelda she was trying to "play" with them.

[Speaker 1] Ok, so I'll go with Zeus, thanks! Oh no, do you need to keep them separate or do they generally get along?

[Speaker 2] You have to keep them separate, cats really love to kill anything smaller than them. What should I name my ducks?

[Speaker 1] That's true I guess. Cats do love hunting. Hm, I'm not sure what you should name them. How many ducks do you have anyways?

[Speaker 2] I have five of them right now. Of course theres daffy and donald. Haven't named anyone else.

[Speaker 1] Those are great names for ducks of course. Classic. You could name the rest of them after classic disney characters. That might be cute.

[Speaker 2] Maybe I should name one Link since my cat loves it. haha! Disney's alright, but I'd rather name them something else

I am an only child.

My dad has a kind heart.

I just got a new black lab puppy. I'm thinking of naming it Zeus or Polo.

My puppy is pretty crazy and very curious.

I've decided to name my puppy Zeus.

I like those names for ducks. I like the Disney theme.

I have a really kind heart.

I have some fish. I have 5 ducks. two of them DO have names which are Donald and Daffy. I'd rather name the other ducks something not Disney themed. I find ducks easy to care for.

I prefer the name Zeus. "Zelda" was trying to "play" with my ducks.

I have a Cat named Zelda and I have to keep her separate from my ducks or she might try to kill them. My ducks don't have names.

[Speaker 1] I took my puppy Zeus to the park and he played with some ducks at the lake.

[Speaker 2] Did he play nicely with the ducks, or was he aggressive and scare them away? I wish I could have been there to see that scene!

[Speaker 1] He wasn't aggressive just very curious trying to chase and play with them, which they didn't like Haha

[Speaker 2] Oh that is hillarious. I'm happy you decided to name the puppy Zeus. That is an awesome name for a dog. What does the puppy look like?

[Speaker 1] A little black lab, he's soo cute! Are you thinking of getting a dog soon, or a you too busy with your ducks and cat!

[Speaker 2] There's always room in my house and in my heart for more animals. I definitely want to get a puppy soon. Are there any puppies still available from the litter that Zeus came from?

[Speaker 1] I have no idea, I can try and find out for you if you'd like! What do you think you would name him one if you got it?

[Speaker 2] Would you please check and find out for me if any of Zeus's brothers or sisters are still available for adoption? I would love to have a lab puppy. If it is a boy I will name it Thor and if it is a girl I will name it Aphrodite. What do you think about those names?

[Speaker 1] Those names are soo cute, apologies for the delay, Zeus was climbing all over me, he needed a treat!

[Speaker 2] That's okay. I have lots of patience when it comes to puppies. I sure hope one of those puppies is available for adoption. My kitty cat Zelda would love to have a puppy around to love and play with. My kitty cat is surprisingly very affectionate towards dogs!

[Speaker 1] Haha, that's soo cute, I will defo ask them if there's anymore dogs available from that litter, how cute will it be if our puppies were brother and sisters!

[Speaker 2] Yes, and then we could have some weekend playtimes together so you and I can get together and watch the animals all playing with each other!


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 love taking walks on the beach.

In my free time, I go on mountain hikes.

I can speak english and spanish fluently.

I'm currently in high school.

I am moving to a new house next week.

I am a lifeguard at the local beach.

I do karate.

I practice football. i have a girlfriend.

I enjoy horror movies.

I love to walk on the beach.

I go to school. i hike in the mountains.

I like to learn new languages. I'm fluent in spanish and english. I leanred spanish in high school.

I'm moving soon.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am about to lifeguard at my local beach.

[Speaker 2] What a coincidence, I love to take walks on the beach. Any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] That is awesome, be safe. I do karate.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a lot of hard work, is that all you do in your spare time?

[Speaker 1] If I am not practicing football, I am with my girlfriend. You?

[Speaker 2] Mostly in school, but when I am free I love to go hiking in the mountains!

[Speaker 1] That is awesome, I also enjoy horror movies.

[Speaker 2] I am not a big horror buff, but I do like to learn new languages.

[Speaker 1] Cool, what do you speak?

[Speaker 2] Right now I am fluent in both spanish and english.

[Speaker 1] Wow where did you learn spanish?

[Speaker 2] Highschool, but I will probably be changing schools since we are moving soon.

I am a lifeguard at the local beach.

I do karate.

I enjoy horror movies.

I love to walk on the beach.

I'm moving soon.

[Speaker 1] guess what? i decided to learn spanish to

[Speaker 2] Sweet! Are you doing it on your own, or are you taking a formal class?

[Speaker 1] I think I'm going to look into online programs, just to see how it goes. If I like it, I might look into some classes at my local junior college. Have you been able to practice it much since learning in school?

[Speaker 2] Yes, there is a big Spanish-speaking community in my city, so I make a habit of going into those neighborhoods on a regular basis. It's really helped me maintain the skill!

[Speaker 1] That's great! Even if I learned it, I'm not sure I would have many people to speak with around here. I guess I would be able to watch movies in a different language and see if the experience is any different! Not many people on my football team speak any other languages.

[Speaker 2] It would also enable you to read some different literature. Come to think of it, that's a great way to get comfortable with a new language. Read everything you can get your hands on!

[Speaker 1] That's a good point. I don't usually think of reading as a favorite hobby, but maybe this would serve as some good motivation! Do you like reading any particular types of books?

[Speaker 2] I actually enjoy reading plays in Spanish! Lorca is a really good example of a great Spanish playwright.

[Speaker 1] Wow, I don't think I've ever even heard of any Spanish plays or writers. You'll have to remind me of a few of your favorites once I actually get started learning. Seems like a whole new world of stories that I could dive into.

[Speaker 2] It's definitely a worthwhile pursuit. All that said, the best way to learn a language is to get your girlfriend involved! Has she expressed any interest in becoming bilingual?

[Speaker 1] Hah. Well she's actually taken some classes in school a few years ago, but I think she's already forgotten most of what she's learned. Maybe if I start learning and practicing around her, she'll pick it back up, or at least be motivated to learn again.

[Speaker 2] It's an excellent strategy. What sorts of activities do you two like to do? There might be a way to incorporate your Spanish knowledge!

I am a lifeguard at the local beach.

I do karate.

I practice football. I'm on a football team. i have a girlfriend.

I enjoy horror movies.

I'm learning Spanish.

I don't love reading.

I love to walk on the beach.

I'm moving soon.

I live in a city with a big Spanish-speaking community. I like reading Spanish plays.

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I watched a really cool movie in Spanish the other day. I think I actually understood some of it.

[Speaker 2] That's great! What was the movie? I wonder if I have seen it.

[Speaker 1] I forget the title of it but it had something to do with Chocolate

[Speaker 2] Well, anything with chocolate must be great! Speaking of movies, what is your favorite movie of all time?

[Speaker 1] My favorite of all time is the classic The Fugitive, have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] I have not! Can you tell me the premise of the movie? I am always in the market for new content.

[Speaker 1] Its about a fugitive that eludes capture, he is innocent after all@

[Speaker 2] That sounds intriguing! You should watch the spanish dubbed version of shows and movies you like to help you learn Spanish better.

[Speaker 1] Yes thats a good idea.  I can watch with the subtitles on so I can match up with the English words.  What film do you suggest I start with?

[Speaker 2] You should honestly start with your favorite movie, The Fugitive! Do you like any sitcom tv shows? Those are always good as well.

[Speaker 1] I really like The Office, have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have seen it! It is a really funny show. If you like The Office, I think you would also like the show "Superstore"

I am a lifeguard at the local beach.

I do karate.

I enjoy horror movies.

I'm learning Spanish.

I don't love reading.

I love to walk on the beach.

I'm moving soon.

I have not seen the movie The Fugitive.  I like trying out new media.

[Speaker 1] I watched the show Superstore that you were telling me about and I love it!

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's a great show.  Watching shows and movies are my favorite past time.  So why is The Fugitive your favorite movie of all time?

[Speaker 1] I love crime movies and comedy. I know it's not a comedy, but it's about justice being served. Got any other reccoomendations?

[Speaker 2] I see.  I've never seen The Fugitive but it sounds intriguing.  I think we both agree The Office is an awesome sitcom.  Seinfeld is another great one that I can recommend.

[Speaker 1] How about any horror recoomendations.  guess they don't make many horror shows though.

[Speaker 2] I know of one called The Walking Dead.  You should check it out, it's awesome.

[Speaker 1] Do you have it? Maybe I can come over and we can talk in spanish while I borrow it from you.

[Speaker 2] No I don't.  I watch it on TV when the show comes on.  I have a few horror movies in my collection though and I know you like horror movies.  Have you seen any good ones lately?

[Speaker 1] One of my favorites is Shawn of the Dead, since it has both comedy and horror, it a little old. I'm going to have to chat with you more in spanish.

[Speaker 2] Yeah my favorite horror movies are mostly the classics as well.  I think they are so much better than current ones.  I'll be happy to practice Spanish with you, it sounds fun.  How are you coming along with your Spanish lessons?

[Speaker 1] I'm not around it very often so I feel like I'm not progressing as much as I'd like to. I need more real life experience.

[Speaker 2] You're right.  The key is to speak often with other Spanish speakers.  You can only learn so much from a book.  Speaking often is the key.  Why did you develop an interest in learning the Spanish language?

I am a lifeguard at the local beach.

I do karate.

I enjoy horror movies.

I don't love reading.

The Fugitive is my all time favorite movie. I like the sitcom The Office. I like Superstore  show.

My favorite is  crime movies and comedy movies.

I'm learning Spanish. I like to speak in spanish. My Spanish language progress not much I'd expect.

I love to walk on the beach.

I'm moving soon.

I like the sitcom The Office.  I think it is funny.  I like the show Superstore and I think you would like it if you like The Office. The Walking Dead is best horror movie.

Old movies better than current movies.

Books may be help your language progress.

[Speaker 1] Do you know where to get a copy of the The Fugitive movies?

[Speaker 2] Sure! if you go to justwatch.com it will tell you where to buy a digital copy or you can go to walmart.com or amazon.  How's your Spanish learning going?

[Speaker 1] Perfect, thank you! I will look at all those places. I am still learning, and it is slow but I am trying!

[Speaker 2] Are you learning Spanish in a class or on your own?

[Speaker 1] On my own mainly! How did you learn to speak/read Spanish?

[Speaker 2] I had Spanish friends in college who piqued my interest, I mainly taught myself. Let me know if you'd like some tips.

[Speaker 1] I would love tips! Maybe we can get together sometime and you can give me some pointers!

[Speaker 2] Sounds good, we could do one of my tips together -- watch a show you already know that is sub titled or dubbed in Spanish. Like "The Office" in Spanish.  "Los Osos, Las remolachas, Battlestar Galactica"

[Speaker 1] I will start doing that! What a great idea! So, how is school going for you?

[Speaker 2] Well I'm out for the summer. I start my senior year of college in the fall. What are you doing this summer? Are you still lifeguarding?

[Speaker 1] That is exciting that it will be your senior year! I bet you are excited! And yes, lifeguarding is in full swing especially during summer!

[Speaker 2] Have you ever saved any one?


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'm an omnivore.
I like bicycling.
I work on computers for my job.
I like most music.
I like reading.

Favorite artist is Sufjan Stevens.

Work at Dell and reads books sometimes.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today.

[Speaker 2] Im good. Reading a book at work. I work for dell computers. You?

[Speaker 1] What kind of books do you like.

[Speaker 2] Biographies. Im into a lot of genre of music. I read about different artists.

[Speaker 1] Oh my favorite is sufjan stevens.

[Speaker 2] He is awesone. I once rode bikes with him. He is into bicycling like me.

[Speaker 1] Wow you know him personally?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. He is omnivore like me. We ate some stakes and salads at his house.

[Speaker 1] Wow I am jealous he is my favorite ever.

[Speaker 2] Did I tell you I work at dell.

[Speaker 1] Dude you're getting a dell! Remember those commercials?

[Speaker 2] Yeah! The background music was amazin.

[Speaker 1] I don't remember the music just the kid.

[Speaker 2] Nice talking to you. Gotta get back to my book now.

Favorite artist is Sufjan Stevens.

Work at Dell and reads books sometimes.

[Speaker 1] I meant to tell you that I like cycling too. Where did you end up meeting Sufjan Stevens anyways?

[Speaker 2] I think it was New York City. Where do you like to go cycling at?

[Speaker 1] That's super cool. I'm kind of jealous! You met my favorite artist in the greatest city in the world! Usually I ride around town and on some mountain bike trails. Sometimes, I'll ride to work when it's nice out.

[Speaker 2] Mountain bike trails sound fun and challenging! I think I should look on my map and see if I can find any. Would you recommend any? Do you have a favorite?

[Speaker 1] Well, when I visit my friend in Seattle, Washington, I love riding the trails at Mount Rainier National Park and Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. I know you like to stay indoors reading, and you're busy with your tech job, but you should give mountain biking a go!

[Speaker 2] I'll have to make a playlist for biking haha. I do enjoy reading indoors, but that's only when it's raining. I prefer to read under a tree or maybe a hammock. Do you plan on going to one of Sufjan Stevens' concerts?

[Speaker 1] That sounds relaxing. I'm not much of a reader, but I'd like to read autobiographies of celebrities I like. I'm not sure when he's playing, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for tour dates.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! Maybe, we could end up at the same concert and grab dinner or a snack afterwards? I can suggest other music artists to you as well. I enjoy music a lot. It helps keep me focused. How did you discover Sufjan?

[Speaker 1] I'm game! Name the time and the place and I'll try to make it work. My college roommate turned me on to Sufjan Stevens and I've been an avid fan ever since. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube. I do that a lot trying to find new music. I'm always open to suggestions.

[Speaker 1] Ah, the old YouTube rabbit hole. It's fun exploring those depths, and sometimes I get there by checking out recommended videos. Which musical artists or bands are your favorites?

[Speaker 2] I like Three Days Grace, Hinder, Conscience, and others like that. I have so many artists downloaded it's insane. I listen to just about everything. I have noticed the newer music I'm not a huge fan of.

I like cycling. I love New York City. I bicycle a lot.

I visit friends in Seattle.

I don't like to read. I like celebrity autobiographies.

My favorite artist is Sufjan Stevens. I went to college. A college roommate liked Sufjan Stevens.

I love finding music on YouTube.

I work at Dell and reads books sometimes.

I like biographies and likes a lot of different music artists. Also had a meal with the artist. I've met Sufjan Stevens. I've been to New York City.

I'd like to go mountain bike riding.

I love to read. I'm more of an indoor person.

I found Sufjan Stevens on YouTube. I like many kinds of music. I prefer older music.

[Speaker 1] I just picked up the new Tom Hank's autobiography and I can't put it down.

[Speaker 2] I bet there are some really interesting stories in there. What was your favorite part of the autobiography?

[Speaker 1] I like that fact that his first movie was a slasher movie. I would never have guessed it.

[Speaker 2] Really, that is really interesting. Did is say why he stopped doing those sorts of movies?

[Speaker 1] The movie had negative reviews, and slasher movie are not very popular in general, I would not do a lot of them if I wanted to be a big movie star.

[Speaker 2] That s true. I suppose you have to go where the demand is to get big. I guess those sorts of movies are more for the younger audiences. Have you found any good music on youtube recently?

[Speaker 1] I like bollywood movie music, recently I really like Meri Ankhon Men Masti Hai from Asha Boshle.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds interesting. I have never looked into bollywood music. How is it different compared to normal western music?

[Speaker 1] It depends, bollywood music form the 60s it very groovy and influenced by western music. In the 90s, you have pop sounding music and a resurgence of traditional music.

[Speaker 2] Ah cool, do you have a favorite Bollywood artist I could look up?

[Speaker 1] Asha Boshle is a good start, she has made music over 50 years. Kishore Kumar and  Mohammad Azi are also a great artists.

[Speaker 2] 5o years! That is impressive. I will be sure to check these out.

I visit friends in Seattle.

I love finding music on YouTube.

I just picked up the new Tom Hank's autobiography and I can't put it down. I like that fact that his first movie was a slasher movie.

I would not do a lot of slasher movie if I wanted to be a big movie star.

I like bollywood movie music, recently I really like Meri Ankhon Men Masti Hai from Asha Boshle. she has made music over 50 years. Kishore Kumar and  Mohammad Azi are also a great artists.

I'd like to go mountain bike riding.

Slasher movies are for younger audiences.

I have never looked into bollywood music. I will be sure to check Asha Boshle out.

[Speaker 1] I finished the new Tom Hank's autobiography.

[Speaker 2] That was fast! You must have liked it. Will you continue to read biographies next?

[Speaker 1] Yes, that's the plan. So what type of music have you been listening to lately?

[Speaker 2] Great! I'm glad that can motivate you to read! I actually had a friend recommend some folksy bluegrass music that I really liked the sound of. I think it would be great to see some of these groups live.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I found the motivation somehow haha. Bluegrass sounds interesting! I'd love to see a concert like that too. Will there be any soon?

[Speaker 2] I hope so! Some of these groups seem to have so many singers and different instruments that I think it would be a fun experience, even though I don't know many of the songs very well. Have you ever gone to concerts when you didn't know the artist?

[Speaker 1] I've gone to a few concerts of bands my friends liked that I didn't know before. It was always a good time and usually I discovered some new music. I recommend it!

[Speaker 2] Sounds fun! I'll have to convince my friend to recommend a show and hope they can come along. It might be nice to have someone a little more familiar there. Have you kept up the cycling in your spare time?

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. Yes, I've been doing some cycling. I love it. What about you? Have you been getting any exercise in recently?

[Speaker 2] Well I was excited to get more into mountain biking ever since I bought all the equipment, but the combination of bad weather and a minor injury has kept me away from it. Do you like biking in the rain or other conditions? It seems so dangerous!

I visit friends in Seattle.

I love finding music on YouTube.

I just read Tom Hank's autobiography. I enjoyed reading it.

Bluegrass interests me too and I'd also like to see a live show. I've gone to some live shows of bands i didn't know well and always enjoyed it

I've been bicycling lately, which i love.

I'd like to go mountain bike riding. I bought mountain biking equipment and am excited to use it. I had a minor injury recently.

recently i've been enjoying some folksy bluegrass music that a friend recommended. I'd like to see some of those groups live. I think a live bluegrass show would be a fun experience even though i don't know many of the songs very well.

[Speaker 1] What was your injury exactly?

[Speaker 2] I fell on some rocks and had to get stitches!

[Speaker 1] That's horrible. Do you still have the stitches in?

[Speaker 2] Yeah there in my forehead! I have to go see the doctor later today to have them check out.

[Speaker 1] I hope they take them out today. Do you have to miss work because of it?

[Speaker 2] Yeah on the day of the accident and I am leaving early to go to my doctors appointment. I think I might get a pretty cool scar though.

[Speaker 1] That sucks you have to miss work. Are you doing anything later?

[Speaker 2] I guess it depends on how my DR appointment goes, but I would like to go out for a drink tonight.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to go on a bike ride soon?

[Speaker 2] Yeah actually I think that would be a good idea for me! How about this evening?

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. Where do you want to go?

[Speaker 2] Let's go on some of the trails near Ol' Jones' Quarry Park


I am a mom and sister.

I am in my forties.

I have a son and a daughter.

I own rental properties and maintain them myself.

I am a fan of movies.

I work in a fast food restaurant.

I love the smell of roses and fern.

I am terrified of watching horror movies.

My favorite author is john grisham.

I have one sister who is married.

I am 48 years young.

I have 2 children.

I renovate and rent homes.

I have a sister that I work with. I love my job.

I make my own hours. I watch all genres of movies.

I am 27 years old.

I am going to law school. I work at a burger place. I have loans.

I have a married sister. I have a nephew.

I don't like horror movies. I like John Grisham movies.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I'm 48 years young, how about you?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I am 27!

[Speaker 1] A baby! My two babies are lisa 18 and bart 14.

[Speaker 2] Aww!! What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I buy old houses, redo them and rent them out. You?

[Speaker 2] Fun! I am in law school but working at a burger place to pay off loans.

[Speaker 1] My sister and I are partners and we love our job.

[Speaker 2] My sis is married and just had a baby! My first nephew!

[Speaker 1] Congrats! Does lawyering leave a lot of time for movies?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes. What genre do you like? I like anything but horror.

[Speaker 1] We make our own hours and make time to watch anything and everything.

[Speaker 2] Have you seen any john grisham movie? He is my favorite.

I am 48 years young.

I have 2 children.

I renovate and rent homes.

I am 27 years old.

[Speaker 1] My sister and I just bought a new house to renovate, do you own a house?

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. I would love to be able to do that in my life, I’m hoping to buy a house next year. Are you looking forward to do the renovations?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I enjoy renovating, and you can turn a nice profit on it if you're efficient. Are you hoping to buy a house after law school?

[Speaker 2] Yeah renovating is a lot of fun. I enjoy seeing the before and afters. Yeah some people make a ton of money. Yeah once I have a stable job buying a house is what I will be focused on.

[Speaker 1] Excellent, I'm happy to hear that. What do you have loans out on now?

[Speaker 2] Just for my schooling I had a scholarship for most of my classes but I decide I would do extra so had to pay myself. But just want to be able to be in a better situation for eventually getting a lawyer career.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea. When I was younger, I always considered becoming a lawyer, but decided to go into real estate instead. What draws you to law?

[Speaker 2] Either one is a great career choice. I just want to help protect people that are innocent. My family member got wrongly convicted and eventually the evidence proved it, so I want help people in the same situation.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! I'm glad the evidence eventually came out in favor of your family, though. That's great that you want to help other people who are in trouble. What were the charges?

[Speaker 2] It was for multiple  burglaries in our area. He just happened to have some similar features to who people saw. But he lost 2 years of his life. And there is people that have been in jail for much longer who are actually innocent, it can just take a long time to prove it.

[Speaker 1] That's true. I read an article about someone who was exonerated after their death recently, which was very sad. I hope you can really make a difference in a system that's sometimes inaccurate

[Speaker 2] Yeah it’s so sad that actually happens more frequent than people even realise. A lawyer that came into my class the other day literally had enough evidence on the day of the person execution. And the person had like 30 minutes left but now they are out living the rest of their lives.

I am 48 years young.

I have 2 children.

I renovate and rent homes.

I wanted to be a lawyer when I was young but I went into real estate instead.

I am 27 years old.

I work at a burger place. I have loans.

I don't own a house but I would like to buy one next year.

I am in law school.  I will focus on buying a house after I graduate and get a stable job.

Most of my schooling was paid for by scholarships but I did have to take out some loans to pay for everything.

I am pusueing a career in law so I could help protect innocent people. My family member was wrongly accused of multiple burglaries.

[Speaker 1] How are your classes going this week?  It must be hard to be in law school while also working.

[Speaker 2] You need discipline to make it work. I have a strict schedule. It must be the same with 2 children.

[Speaker 1] Yes, when the children were young it did require a strict schedule. Now they're able to look after themselves more thankfully.

[Speaker 2] But, you surely have a schedule for your renovations ? I

[Speaker 1] The renovations on the house my sister and I own can fit in with the rest of my life quite ok. We don't have a strict schedule for that though obviously we want the work to be finished soon.

[Speaker 2] That is great, I suppose I ma not are organized as you, without a schedule, I would never finish my projects. What are you renovating at your sister's house ?

[Speaker 1] No, I think you're more organized than me to work and study law! We own the house together and we're just going to strip everything out a wall, put in an extensions. Really make it beautiful. Maybe will be a holiday house.

[Speaker 2] What kind of foundation will the extension have ?

[Speaker 1] The foundations are actually all already in place, basically a hardcore foundation.

[Speaker 2] Oh, Ok, and how mush it will cost ?

[Speaker 1] I can't really say for sure now. For us as you know it's not all finalized. We're just gradually working away at it. I'm guessing about 200000, but that's just a very rough estimate.

[Speaker 2] I wish I had that kind of money to pay for my education and not relying on loans. Did you take a loan for your renovations ?

I am 48 years young.

I have 2 children.

I renovate and rent homes.

I am 27 years old.

I work at a burger place. I have loans.

I have loans for my education.

[Speaker 1] What area of law are your classes in right now?  Are they in the area of focus you want to practice in or just required?

[Speaker 2] It's the required bits, I know you wanted to be a lawyer what kind did you want to be?

[Speaker 1] I wanted to be a public defender.  I think it's important everyone has representation when being charged with a crime.

[Speaker 2] I know, my family has had some problems with the law and I need to make sure I can defend them.

[Speaker 1] It's crazy to think there are innocent people sitting in prison right now.  I'm rooting for you to get your law degree and make a difference in society.  When do you expect to be finished with your schooling?

[Speaker 2] I have a few years left I spent too much time working and neglected some classes. How's your renovations going?

[Speaker 1] It's going great.  Just have a few finishing touches to make.  I think you'll really enjoy the house hunting process when you decide to buy one yourself.

[Speaker 2] I don't know, I'll need some help for you maybe you can give me a deal?

[Speaker 1] I can certainly help you find the home of your dreams.  What is your ideal house and neighborhood?

[Speaker 2] I'll have to be in the city since I'll be at the court house often. I'd like to walk to work. I don't think there will be many options.

[Speaker 1] You'd be surprised.  I'll keep your interest in mind for when you're ready to make the plunge.

[Speaker 2] If we do it without a real estate agent we'd both save money right?

I am 48 years young.

I have 2 children.

I renovate and rent homes.

My sister and I just bought a new house.  I am planning renovations to my house. I enjoy doing renovations. I am putting in an extension on the house. My renovation going very well.

I wanted to be a public defender to stop  crime.

I am 27 years old.

I work at a burger place. I have loans.

I have loans for my education.

I want to be a lawyer in future. Going to my goal is a bit late.

I want your help to find house for me. My house should be in town and nearby court.

[Speaker 1] I saw a rental house. It will be very suitable for you. It is near the court.

[Speaker 2] Not too expensive I hope!  I've got tons of debt remember!

[Speaker 1] No, it's not too expensive. However, it is a bit of a fixer upper. You would definitely need to do some repairs before you move in. However, you have an expert like me to help you out!

[Speaker 2] I could use some DIY instruction, that's for sure!  I couldn't ask you to work for free.

[Speaker 1] I couldn't take any money! I want you to be able to pay off your debts without worrying. Plus, this is my passion. I am already thinking up a bunch of ideas. What color walls do you like?

[Speaker 2] Thanks so much, but I'd help out as much as I'm able!  I like soft pastels, blues and yellows mostly.

[Speaker 1] That's perfect. The living room would look beautiful with a soft blue, and yellow is a perfect color for the kitchen. I can't wait to show you the place! It's also in an ideal location. Perfect for a future lawyer.

[Speaker 2] I still wouldn't want you to neglect your super-cute addition!  Is the exterior framing and drywalling done yet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I worked tirelessly on it because I was so eager to get to the next stage. I can't slow down. I'm already planning my next project in my head.

[Speaker 2] If you need the electrical wiring done, my brother got his certificate while he was doing time up-state.  He'll do it for half the usual rate I'm sure!

[Speaker 1] Wow, that would be incredible! He'll come in handy when we are working on your place too.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking the same!  He sometimes has trouble getting work because of that bogus charge!


I like to play baseball.

I'm in a committed relationship. I love movies. My favorite genre is horror.

I'm practicing karate.

I'm a lifeguard. I want to make a career change. I work at the beach.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, did you see the baseball game last night?

[Speaker 2] No, didn't know it was on, I'm more of a football fan, was captain of my team.

[Speaker 1] Between baseball and working on my marketing degree I have no time;.

[Speaker 2] Me either, serious committed relationship, and movie buff, horror mostly.

[Speaker 1] I like movies in foreign languages, I try to learn new languages on the regular.

[Speaker 2] Yea, me too, I'm practicing karate for one.

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping when I graduate, to create ads for these movies as well.

[Speaker 2] Cool, I'm a lifeguard right now but hoping to find the perfect career.

[Speaker 1] A lifeguard at the beach or pool? I love seafood.

[Speaker 2] I'm a lifeguard at the beach!

[Speaker 1] Do you ever watch the fish swimming and want to eat them all?

[Speaker 2] Lol, no, can't say I've done that.

[Speaker 1] I think I would if I were a lifeguard.

[Speaker 2] You must really love seafood or have a pretty big appetite.

I love seafood.

I'm practicing karate.

[Speaker 1] After our last conversation I couldn't stop thinking about seafood, so I just ordered myself a big seafood platter!

[Speaker 2] Yum, what types of seafood are in the platter?

[Speaker 1] Everything from clams to octopus and everything in between lol. I mean business!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds so good! I hope you enjoy it. How is school going?

[Speaker 1] Going good... thanks! Marketing is totally my thing. You mentioned wanting to make a career change... what do you have in mind?

[Speaker 2] Good, I am so glad you like it! I am thinking about something in the IT sector...I am pretty good with computers and I know there is a growing demand for employees in this sector.

[Speaker 1] That’s awesome... IT is where the party’s at haha, I mean career wise, that & AI I think is where the future chunk of lucrative jobs are going to be!

[Speaker 2] Definitely! I really need to start looking at schools I want to attend or maybe certificate programs to get me started. So have you watched any good foreign films lately? I am looking for something new to watch.

[Speaker 1] I forget the name but it was a movie featuring Sophia Lauren on Netflix. It was nominated best foreign film for the Golden Globes. I loved it!

[Speaker 2] I will have to look that up, especially if it was nominated for a Golden Globe! I haven't seen many foreign films,  so I appreciate your recommendation.

[Speaker 1] Sure... you won’t be disappointed. The theme as well as the score are good. Is your partner fond of watching movies too?!

[Speaker 2] Yes, but she doesn't enjoy horror movies as much as I do. It's usually romantic comedies that we watch together.

I'm a baseball fan. I'm working on a degree in marketing. I am in school and enjoy marketing classes.

I love seafood. I specifically like clams, octopus and many kinds of seafood.

I'm practicing karate.

I'm a lifeguard. I work at the beach.

I also like seafood.

I'm considering a career change. I'm considering a career in IT since I'm good with computers. I plan to go to school or to get a certificate.

I have a female partner.

[Speaker 1] Hey there -- I remembered the name of the movie I recommended! It's called "The Life Ahead" and you guys should totally watch it tonight if you have time. I really loved it.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the movie recommendation. Is it a horror flick? I'll probably have to wait until the weekend to watch it though.  I have a karate class tonight.

[Speaker 1] Not a horror flick at all. It's actually a foreign film so there are subtitles. What belt are you in Karate?

[Speaker 2] I'm a green belt.  Hmmm, subtitles, maybe not my favorite.  You say it's really good?  My significant other likes foreign films, but honestly, I tend to fall asleep during them.

[Speaker 1] Yeah a lot of people don't like reading the movies they watch. I get it. Maybe put it on at bedtime so if you pass out it would be ok. How many years of Karate have you done?

[Speaker 2] I've been doing Karate for a little over one year.  I wish I could be more consistent about it.  Sometimes it's hard to get to the classes.  I have so many other activities that keep from getting into class every week.  Especially since I'm trying to decide whether to go back to school or not.

[Speaker 1] It's always good to go back to school but only if you have time for it. don't add more to your plate with something as important as schooling. What would you go back for?

[Speaker 2] I'm planning on going for a certificate in IT work.  I think it will pay more, and you know, I'm getting older and looking for a job that is a little less demanding physically.

[Speaker 1] That would be a good thing for you and your body. I think everyone should repare for work later on in life so you don't wear your body down early on doing to hard of physical labor for long times. Is lifeguarding pretty physical?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah.  I have to stay in good shape, and sitting hours in the sun on hot days is very draining.  I love it though, but it really isn't the kind of job that sets you up for a long term career, you know?

[Speaker 1] Yes I bet. Do you even get sunburn anymore or are you always a golden bronze color? I burn so fast I could never be a lifeguard.

[Speaker 2] I do tan pretty easily.  I feel for all those people who burn so fast.  I keep a giant bottle of sunscreen around and use it often.  I don't want to worry about skin cancer down the line.

I like the move called "The Life Ahead".

I burn so fast.

I'm practicing karate. I'm a green belt. I've been doing Karate for a little over one year. I have other activities to keep up.

I'm a lifeguard. I work at the beach.

I also like seafood.

I'm considering a career change. I'm considering a career in IT since I'm good with computers. I plan to go to school or to get a certificate in IT work.

I have a female partner.

I don't like subtitles. I tend to fall asleep during foreign films.

I tan easily.

[Speaker 1] I went to the beach and tanned.

[Speaker 2] You used a lot of sunscreen though right? I know how you mentioned you burn easily!

[Speaker 1] Absolutely - SPF-80, strong stuff. Is there a special sunblock you use since you are out there at the beach all day?

[Speaker 2] Oh good! I honestly rarely even need to use sunblock. I tan so easily so as long as I have a base tan at the beginning of the year, I am pretty much good. I just will put sunblock on the tops of my feet and face.

[Speaker 1] Wow, you are lucky. I know you like movies, you must love the movie Jaws since it's kind of a horror movie based in the ocean. Or, are you sick of water stuff in your free time?

[Speaker 2] I do like Jaws! I actually was thinking of having date night and going to dinner with my girlfriend then watching it after! I really love water and the ocean and never really get sick of it. My job is a little dull at times though. Hey do you have any food recommendations?

[Speaker 1] The grocery store has some clams from Quebec that are supposed to be fantastic. I am taking a French class so I can learn French and go up there and dig for clams myself. Speaking of classes, have you signed up for any IT classes?

[Speaker 2] Oh that actually would make for a good date, cook together then watch Jaws, thanks. I just signed up for classes this fall at the local college! I'm really excited! Has French been difficult so far or are you getting the hang of it?

[Speaker 1] French has been not too bad. I have taken many Spanish classes and their are some similarities. Do you ever go to football games with your girlfriend?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah that's super beneficial. Of course! We try and go to every home game for my old high school team.

[Speaker 1] They must be happy to see their old captain back. Did your background in football help in studying karate?

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is very good to be back at my high school and see some of my coaches. I would say a little bit, yes. The footwork i learned in football does help me in some aspects of karate.

I burn so fast. I like tanning at the beach. I also think sunscreen is importan.

I'd like to learn French so I can go clam digging in France. My Spanish classes have made learning French a little easier.

I'm a lifeguard. I work at the beach.
