[Speaker 1] Only if they're female singers. Solar panels are all over my roof.

[Speaker 2] Solar panels rock! I have actually met the taylor swift herself

[Speaker 1] Seriously!? I only buy organic food like taylor swift.

[Speaker 2] That is great. I manage a convenience store

[Speaker 1] Wow. Can I have organic stuff? I'm browsing the internet a lot.

[Speaker 2] Oh of course! I drive a pathfinder, nissan, I need a new one

[Speaker 1] Try to win one off of a twitter contest. I did, and enjoy twitter.

[Speaker 2] I didn't know there was a twitter contest

[Speaker 1] Ya, are you a female?

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm, I'm 40 years old

[Speaker 1] Females rock. My armpits are very hairy.

[Speaker 2] Are you a woman? If hair is your thing yay you

[Speaker 1] Yes I am a woman. I used to raise wild frogs.

I am 40 year old woman.
I like frogs and frog legs.

[Speaker 1] I finally managed to order organic food off the internet, but will definitely visit your store soon

[Speaker 2] That's nice. Do you have a favorite Country Music artist?

[Speaker 1] Of course, I really like Maggie Sajak. I only listen to female artists, and I find her music very unique and interesting.

[Speaker 2] I have only listened to her popular songs. I have not listened to much of her catalogue. How good is she?

[Speaker 1] She very good and talented. I wish she would release another song, or even an album. Its been a while since her last release.

[Speaker 2] Hmmm. I will definitely check her out. I love country but I have been listening to some Reggae lately.

[Speaker 1] Reggae is interesting to listen to as well, have you found a favorite artist for that genre yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I like Protoje. He is very very good.

[Speaker 1] I haven't had the chance to listen to him yet, what's your favorite song from him?

[Speaker 2] "Who Knows" featuring Chronixx. It's a really cool song.

[Speaker 1] I'll give it a listen to when I have the chance. Have you had any troubles recently with your work in the convenience store?

[Speaker 2] No, not at all. Everything has been smooth. How efficient are those solar panels?

I am female. I am a feminist.

I also have solar panels.

I only buy organic food.

[Speaker 1] I finally checked out Protoje. You were right! He's great! Can you recommend some other artists you like?

[Speaker 2] Ah, what a great artist. I really like a lot of his music. I also like Jesse Royal when I'm listening to that type of music. I can send you my playlist!

[Speaker 1] Ah fair enough, he's a man though and I don't listen to male artists! I think I saw you working in the store last weekend - do you know if you guys managed to get any organic vegetables in this week?

[Speaker 2] Fair, I'm sure there are plenty of great female artists too. I just think of the vocals like an instrument in the mix rather than a gender. We get our shipments on Tuesdays. So come early Wednesday morning for the good stuff!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I understand, but I feel that the music industry is just too male orientated so I want to show support to just females ya know! Great news, I'm glad you guys finally got on board with the Organic food, I can't stand the taste of the mass produced stuff! Did you see the new electric car that came out last week, I definitely think you should replace your Nissan with this one!

[Speaker 2] I have to agree with that, support diversity on all fronts where you can. Hmmm I haven't. I was thinking about electric. I don't drive it very far and I think it'd be a good idea. Who makes it?

[Speaker 1] It's made by Honda, so it's still Japanese which is good, and seemingly reliable :) If you had a charging station at your house it would be perfect - especially if it was solar powered!!

[Speaker 2] I was looking at solar panels too. We still have some good tax credits here, but I get a decent amount of shade. Who installed yours? I'd love to have a few, even if they only end up accounting for a bit of my power. Was it expensive to install yours?

[Speaker 1] It did cost a little bit to set it up, I can't remember the name of the company to be honest, i'll have to have a look and let you know! Apparently it takes about 5 years to recoup the cost, but then it starts paying you for your energy! All the frogs legs you can cook without having to worry about the power you're using ;)

[Speaker 2] Haha, yeah I'd be a good long term investment, and probably increase the value of my house as well. I'd appreciate that yeah, gotta start going green.

[Speaker 1] I rarely use any power now anyway, since I stopped shaving my body hair keeps me warm - I can even use my armpit hair as a scarf when it gets too cold!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's intense. What do you do in the colder months?

I am female. I am a feminist.

I also have solar panels.

I have a hairy armpits. I do not shave my body hair.

I like country music artist Maggie Sajak. I only listen to female artists. I don't listen to male musical artists.

I like Protoje.

I am a manager in convenience store.

I drive nissan but I need new one.  I am considering buying an electric vehicle.

I am 40 year old woman.

I like frogs and frog legs.

I have listened to Maggie Sajak songs. I have been listening to reggae lately. My favorite song by Protoje is "Who Knows" featuring Chronixx. I like Protoje. I like Jesse Royal.

I am pro-diversity.

My house in in a shady area.  I am considering buying solar panels. I own my home. I support green energy.

[Speaker 1] There's a green energy expo downtown this weekend you might want to check out!

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's excellent. I want to talk to some installers to check prices for solar. Did you find it difficult to choose your provider?

[Speaker 1] I did a lot of research and i found out that the tesla solar panels are the cheapest and the ones that look the nicest.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting. I figured they would be the most expensive ones out there. I guess I haven't really done my homework!

[Speaker 1] They are extremely affordable and they save alot of energy.

[Speaker 2] Are you planning to come by and get your veggies this week? We just got lots of interesting greens, and some wild-looking carrots.

[Speaker 1] You already know it i am making chicken soup this weekend so i need to find the freshest veggies.

[Speaker 2] I'll set aside some onions for you as well. We didn't get any new red onions this time, as I heard a big corporation is buying up all the red onions in the area, but we have some nice yellow ones.

[Speaker 1] Dang it, red onions are my favorite for the soup. Its okay though i can skip out on the onions this weekend. How is Taylor Swift like?

[Speaker 2] She was kind of a regular person, you know? I thought she would be a snob, to be honest, but she was polite and smiled a lot. Have you ever met anyone famous?

[Speaker 1] I met the actor that played Michael from Zoey 101 once. He was pretty cool.

[Speaker 2] That's fun. Did you get a picture with him? I was too afraid to ask Taylor!

I am female. I am a feminist.

I also have solar panels. I did a lot of research on solar.

I only buy organic food. I like organic foods. I like fresh vegetables. I like red onions in  my soup.

I like Protoje.

I met the actor that played Michael from Zoey 101.

I am a manager in convenience store.

I am 40 year old woman.

I like frogs and frog legs.

I am pro-diversity.

I am interested in green energy. I want to check prices on solar installation. I have not done much research on solar.

I have lots of vegetables.I have yellow onions.

I met Taylor Swift. I did not get a picture with Taylor Swift.

[Speaker 1] That's still cool that you met Taylor even if you didn't get a picture. Have you met any other famous people?

[Speaker 2] Way to rub it in again haha. I havent, which is why not getting that picture was so upsetting. I think I just blanked out

[Speaker 1] Hopefully you'll get another chance someday. Have you looked at any cars yet?

[Speaker 2] I've been putting it off, I don't know why I am so lazy when it comes to that. Do you know anything about electric cars?

[Speaker 1] Not a lot,  because I don't drive. But I hear so much about Tesla.

[Speaker 2] They are a bit out of my price range unfortunately, that might be part of the reason why I don't want to look. But you don't drive? How do you get around? Uber?

[Speaker 1] I have a solar powered moped. I like it!

[Speaker 2] Do you have to leave really early to get places or is it pretty fast?

[Speaker 1] It can go about 25 mph.  I don't go out a lot. Mainly to the store that sells organic vegetables.  I'm thinking about building a greenhouse though, so I won't even have to do that.

[Speaker 2] Oh that would be great and you could save a lot of money after the greenhouse is built to grow your foods. What would you grow?

[Speaker 1] Definitely red onions! haha  But I'll try to grow carrots, and lettuce and tomatoes and whatever else I can think of.  Depends on how large I make the greenhouse.  I have pretty good sized lot next to my house.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like quite the undertaking, but once you finish Im sure the results will be fantastic

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you this evening?

[Speaker 2] Good. Watching the race. And you?

[Speaker 1] Ok, for someone with their heart outside their body.

[Speaker 2] Oh man. How did that happen?

[Speaker 1] Born that way. Had to have a transplant, but it seems ok now.

[Speaker 2] Crazy. What do you do to stay happy?

[Speaker 1] I really like moving stuff with my mind. And you?

[Speaker 2] What! I just need some good tacos and nascar.

[Speaker 1] I know, sounds unbelievable but its true. I like tacos.

[Speaker 2] The guys I work with make some great ones on fridays.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] I work in construction. Started when I was 16.

[Speaker 1] That is pretty young. I'd like to do that kind of work.

[Speaker 2] I think that mind you have can make you more money.

[Speaker 1] I do not tell anyone about it. They will come take me away.

[Speaker 2] Take you away from where?

I was born with heart outside the body.

I also like tacos.

I would like to work similar job.

I can also move stuff with my mind. I don't tell anyone about my supernatural abilities.

I am watching the race. I feel like eating tacos and watching nascar.

[Speaker 1] How did the race go? Who was the winner?

[Speaker 2] The race is still going on, so I don't know the winner yet.

[Speaker 1] ah this must be a long one! Did you get any snacks to enjoy with the race?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, but I'm hoping to grab some tacos after the race is done. What kind of tacos do you like best?

[Speaker 1] good shout! I probably enjoy the classic chicken tacos the best, how about you? you seem to be quite the connoisseur

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the compliment!  I think my favorite are fish tacos, and I love to add pineapple salsa on top!

[Speaker 1] wow that's very different! what inspired you to give that a try?

[Speaker 2] I brought pineapple salsa to a party with my coworkers once. They love to make tacos after work on Fridays. They were serving fish tacos and the pineapple salsa really went well with them!  Do you hang out with your coworkers after work?

[Speaker 1] well I'll have to give that a try some time.. I'll let you know how it goes! Yeah, I'm the same as you, we hangout most fridays, less exciting though, we just go to a bar usually

[Speaker 2] that still sounds fun, it's great to get to know people outside of work.  What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 1] it does, I think it helps in work as well when you know people better. I work in the marketing department for an engineering firm. how about you?

[Speaker 2] I work in construction. I've been in that type of work since I was a teenager. I really like it but kind of wish I had gone into engineering. Do you like working in marketing?  That seems challenging to me!

I was born with heart outside the body.

I would like to work similar job.

chicken tacos are my favorite.

I work at a place where me and my coworkers hang out on Fridays, usually at a bar. I work in the marketing department of an engineering firm.

I like eating tacos and watching nascar.

I think it's great to spend time with your coworkers. I work in construction. I wish I had gone into engineering instead.

[Speaker 1] I came across reviews for a taco spot online that i think you should check out after your race.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely, what is its name?

[Speaker 1] It called Taco Jacks. They do some really good chicken taco’s there.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, chicken tacos are the gold standard. Have you ever had fish tacos? They give a really good twist on the traditional taco.

[Speaker 1] I actually have not. If we go to Taco Jack’s I will try one. Are you ready for your race?

[Speaker 2] I am always ready to race. There is something about the excitement of going fast that I can not get enough of. Have you ever been to nascar?

[Speaker 1] That’s an awesome perspective to have, I admire that. I have yet to been maybe I come down and watch you.

[Speaker 2] Yes you should come and watch. I cannot promise to win though, I just love the feeling of going fast.

[Speaker 1] I’m sure you will have an good outcome though. You work so hard. But that sounds like a plan I will be cheering you on.

[Speaker 2] I will look out for you at the side. Sometimes I wish I had gone into engineering as a career, then I could get to work on the race cars as well.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you do an online course that way you can do it when you have time too, that way you will just become a car master.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, that's a great idea. I never thought about doing an online course. It would certainly help learn while I still work. Do you think online works for engineering subjects though?

I was born with heart outside the body.

chicken tacos are my favorite. I have not had fish tacos.

I haven't been to a race yet.

My coworkers make great tacos on fridays. I started working in construction when I was 16. Fish tacos are my favorite. I like pineapple salsa on top of my tacos.

I hadn't thought of doing an online course.

[Speaker 1] I have to work this weekend but could come to a race next weekend if there is one.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is too bad that you have to work but definitely come next weekend! I am looking forward to introducing you to all of my race buddies.

[Speaker 1] Oh for sure, i will request off so i can make it. But im sure you will have a great race nether the less. Are you feeling ready for it?

[Speaker 2] I am always ready! Yes, please request it off. We can go for tacos afterwards. Are you planning on bringing anyone with you?

[Speaker 1] That's right your always ready, thats the spirit. Oh perfect, you know Taco's are my favorite haha. I was possible going to bring my brother if thats cool with you.

[Speaker 2] Yes, the more the merrier! What is your brother like? Does he like racing and tacos? Nothing else really matters, haha!

[Speaker 1] He actually wants to get into racing himself so maybe you can give in so pointers to get him moving in the right direction. And he loves taco's just not as much as me although i feel thats impossible.

[Speaker 2] I would love to give him some pointers. Has he ever raced before?

[Speaker 1] He has done a lot of go kart races but never the real thing but he seems to really be invested in getting to that point.

[Speaker 2] There really is nothing else like the thrill of a race. Does your brother have a spouse or family? That is one thing to consider when entering into such a dangerous sport.

[Speaker 1] No not right now i think he is more focused on pursing his racing career to see if he can actually become something from it. He just wants to follow his dream.

[Speaker 2] What does your brother currently do for a living? Is he very familiar with cars and how they run?

I was born with heart outside the body.

I haven't been to a race yet.

Tacos is my favourite food. My brother wants to get into racing and he loves tacos. My brother has done go kart races. My brother is single.

I have a race coming up. I am always ready to race. I like to go fast. Sometimes I wish I would have gone into engineering as a career so I could work on race cars as well. I love the thrill of a race.

[Speaker 1] I just took time off work for next weekend so I am ready to go to a race!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! You could give me a running boost by moving me with your mind!

[Speaker 1] But then I would lose the race!

[Speaker 2] Oh, you entered did you? I thought you were just coming to watch. Alright, you are on! And I don't mind coming in second place.

[Speaker 1] I am thinking about it. I want to. I am kind of scared to try it though. If I don't, I will help you. But I am seriously considering going for it!

[Speaker 2] You should! You know, joking aside, the only mind power you need for these races is determination. You can do anything that you set your mind to!

[Speaker 1] I have social anxiety and get nervous in front of people so it can be an issue when I want to try new things. I am going to go though. Whether to participate or not.

[Speaker 2] Makes sense. Either way, I look forward to seeing you on the track or in the crowd! Do you have any plans after the race? We could grab something to eat?

[Speaker 1] Tacos?! If you say the word tacos, then I am there. In fact I will even agree to hang out all evening if you get me some tacos lol

[Speaker 2] Tacos it is! Anytime I'm feeling lonely and want some company I'll remember to dangle one in front of you.

[Speaker 1] Oh you are awful! How could you use me like that lol. Seriously, I am usually always down for tacos. Just let me know when and I will be there.

[Speaker 2] Will do! And is it really using you if the tacos are on me? Seems we would mutually benefit, no?


I am a clean eater.

I love running and preparing for marathons.

I am a cancer survivor.

I got a new job just yesterday to be a life coach.

My parents were both very athletic.

I also like to cook but I am not very good at it.

I've been trying all types of food everywhere I go.

I have been traveling the world for a years.

I own a yacht and I rent it out when I'm not using it.

Hey there I'm 23 and I love food.

I care about healthy eating.

I enjoy sprinting and long races.

I used to be very unhealthy.

I recently started a position helping others with daily challenges.

I was raised in an active family.

I am trying to learn how to create recipes.

I'm open to new experiences.

I've made my way around earth for decades.

I lease luxury boats.

I try new restaurants all the time.

[Speaker 1] Hi. Just got done with my training run. Training for a marathon.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I just like to eat food haha.

[Speaker 1] After surviving cancer, I try to stay healthy

[Speaker 2] I try to eat healthy but it doesn't help when I can not cook well

[Speaker 1] Yeah. Maybe I could help. I am a recently hired life coach.

[Speaker 2] I been across the globe for years eating food and now I am fat.

[Speaker 1] Well take baby steps. I am fortunate my parents were into sports.

[Speaker 2] I'll rent you my yacht for free for helping!

[Speaker 1] Okay. That is a plan. We should meet for a run.

[Speaker 2] Sure! The last time I ran was when I was 13 which was like 10 years ago!

[Speaker 1] Okay we will start with a half mile. Baby steps.

[Speaker 2] I can cook for us after our run. I need the practice haha!

[Speaker 1] I will not make a mess, but lets eat healthy, okay?

[Speaker 2] How about a salad then?

[Speaker 1] Sounds good. Maybe a lite dressing with it.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite dressing?

I am training for a marathon.

I survived cancer. I am a life coach so I could help you.

My parents were into sport.

I would like to eat something healthy.

I like lit dressing.

I prefer eating food. I can't cook well so it is hard to eat healthy. I am fat because of travelling and trying local food.

I own a yacht.

[Speaker 1] My marathon training is going really well, yesterday I ran half marathon

[Speaker 2] That's fantastic. Did it feel amazing after everything you went through?

[Speaker 1] It did! It felt really good to be back to the level of fitness I was at before pretty much. I still have a bit to go but it gave me confidence.

[Speaker 2] So when is your full marathon?

[Speaker 1] It is at the end of next month so I have about 5 weeks or so to prepare. I'm hoping to at least finish even if my time isn't great.

[Speaker 2] That's a great attitude. I really need to get my own fitness back up to what it was when I was a kid. What would you suggest?

[Speaker 1] I'd start with something easy, maybe just start going for long walks around your local park and you can build up from there.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. Small, simple steps seem to be better. What about nutrition? It's so hard when I'm traveling.

[Speaker 1] Yes it is very important you should try and follow some simple recipes to try and prepare your own food. Maybe start with a simple stirfy?

[Speaker 2] Is there a better way to learn than just looking up recipes? That always ends up in disaster for me. I just cannot seem to learn to cook.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you could see if there are any local cooking classes. Or failing that sign up for a meal subscription service - then you just need to reheat the meals.

[Speaker 2] That's a really good idea for when I'm home. It's hard when I'm sailing though. Maybe I can make some progress at home. What kind of salads do you usually do?

I am training for a marathon.

My parents were into sport.

I own a yacht. I travel a lot. I am a sailor.

I want to improve my fitness.

[Speaker 1] Have you been out sailing in the last few days?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, I've been getting the boat prepped. It needed some repairs, but I plan on going this weekend!

[Speaker 1] Since you're not sailing how about joining me for a short run?

[Speaker 2] Man, I really should but I'm so slow. I'd don't want to hold you back.

[Speaker 1] I'd love the company and we'll definitely take it slow. I'm still recovering from yesterday's run.

[Speaker 2] Well I appreciate the help. I don't know how long I'll be able to go. I have no idea how you run marathons

[Speaker 1] You dont need to.. OK let's start with a brisk walk . we can get a subway sandwich on the way . They have loads of healthy food

[Speaker 2] That'd probably be good too. I need to eat healthy too. Well in return for all the help, I'll have to bring you on the yacht sometime.

[Speaker 1] Deal. I have never been on a yacht. Thanks.

[Speaker 2] It's really peaceful and enjoyable. Ok, so what else do you recommend? You're motivating me. Eat healthy and run, what else should I be doing?

[Speaker 1] I can also teach you how to cook healthy meals that are also delicious. Then maybe we can explore some easy fun exercises

[Speaker 2] That'd be great. I am sorta ashamed of it. I used to be in pretty decent shape, then life and other things took over and before I knew it I was huge haha.

I am training for a marathon.

My parents were into sport.

I ran a half marathon yesterday. I am regaining my fitness level. I am running a full marathon in 5 weeks. I like to run with others. I am still recovering from a past run.

I have not yet been on a yacht.

Last time I ran was 10 years ago when I was 13. I'm a slow runner.

I like to go sailing. I own a boat that is in need of repairs, but I plan to go this weeken.

[Speaker 1] What kind of exercises did you like to do when you were in good shape. Was it mostly running, or was there something you liked to do that kept you in shape?

[Speaker 2] Anything that involved cardio really! I couldn’t do any of it now to save my life, but one day at a time is how I’m taking it. How is training for your marathon going?

[Speaker 1] it is going well, I am going to easily do the marathon. Maybe not a good time but I will complete it. I thought that sailing was hard work? Does it not keep you fit?

[Speaker 2] I guess it does but indulging in good food is what keeps from losing any weight. I am finishing up repairs on my boat soon, would you like to come next week since you never been?

[Speaker 1] Sure, I have never been sailing before. Maybe I could help you learn to cook some healthy good food?

[Speaker 2] That would be amazing, I have been trying to cook up something new everyday but have yet to cook something edible. What are your specialties?

[Speaker 1] I like to make most of my meals around vegetables. You can eat as much as you want but I can make it so you do not feel like you are missing out.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, any favorite vegetable dishes?

[Speaker 1] Roasted Mediterranean vegetables are the best!

[Speaker 2] That sounds so yummy! Where did you learn to cook?

[Speaker 1] My parents were always into sports and healthy. I just picked it up from them really.

[Speaker 2] Well that is amazing! I think you would be a great asset for when I start a healthier lifestyle!

I am training for a marathon.

My parents were into sport.

I would like to eat something healthy. I like lit dressing. I know how to cook healthy and delicious meals. Most of my meals are vegetable based. Roasted Mediterranean vegetables are my favorite.

I have not yet been on a yacht.

I've exercised and eaten healthy all my life.

I want to improve my fitness. I would like to eat healthy. I used to be in good shape before gaining weight. I'm not a good cook.

I enjoy cardio.

[Speaker 1] I cooked a great new recipe tonight.  Would you like to try making it together?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I mean I am not a great cook, but what did you have in mind?

[Speaker 1] I've been trying some new vegetarian foods that are frozen, so you can dress them up with other meals. Might be nice to try something different. I like that you are open minded.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I mean I want to get better at cooking, but nothing seems to be sticking. Are you trying to avoid meat?

[Speaker 1] Interesting take on that. Curious. Eating animals is something I evaluate, and try to figure out if I want to do sometimes, because of how the food is made. Know what I mean?

[Speaker 2] I totally understand that, I tend to eat more fish currently. It seems a little more humane to me, but I don't really know

[Speaker 1] Your feelings make sense. I think it's called pescetarian when someone just does veggies and fish. Although I think it's gradual sometimes, changing patterns with food.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I believe that is what it is called, but I wasn't trying to follow any certain diet. I like fish and it tastes very good...when I do not make it myself

[Speaker 1] Cooking fish is definitely more of a chore. I feel grateful we can go to grocery stores and they can deal with all the catching and prepping.

[Speaker 2] True, can you imagine sitting on the water for hours on end just trying to catch a few fish...I have a lot of respect for fishermen and women

[Speaker 1] Me too. Also, I sense they have feelings too, just like cows or pigs. Fish that is. I appreciate that we can talk about such things. You're open minded, again.

[Speaker 2] Hmmm, now I might be rethinking eating fish!

[Speaker 2] Hello, I like wine and coffee.

[Speaker 1] Drank a lot of both in my 56 years on this darned planet.

[Speaker 2] I coach little league and have five boys, I need both to help me deal with them.

[Speaker 1] I have two kids of my own, grown up now. They never visit. Ungrateful.

[Speaker 2] I'm stuck with mine awhile, along with my mini van.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could buy a car. I cannot afford it on a housekeeper wage.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you should find a second job.

[Speaker 1] Where, at hooters? I am 56 year old woman, not what I used to be...

[Speaker 2] Age is only a number. You are only as old as you allow yourself to be.

[Speaker 1] I like your optimism, I suppose I could learn a thing or two.

[Speaker 2] It is never too late to learn. I am going to photography school.

[Speaker 1] I do not think art is the right choice, it didn't do me any good.

[Speaker 2] Then it wasn't your calling, it is mine.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes one has to give up their dreams so someone else can have theirs.

[Speaker 2] No, you find your own dream.

I used to paint. I do not like art.

I drink wine and coffee.  I am 56 years old. I have 2 adult children.

I do not own a car.  I am a housekeeper. I am a woman.

I like wine and coffee.

I coach little league.  I have 5 male children.

I drive a mini van.

I go to photography school.

[Speaker 1] What type of photos do you learn to take in photography class?

[Speaker 2] We've learned a lot of different types actually! Most recently we've been working with candid photography

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun!  I'm always amazed at picture people take!  Photographers are so talented!  All artists are!  I am awful at any kind of art!

[Speaker 2] You should try photography sometime! I promise it's nothing like painting.  Maybe we can go out to the city sometime and take some candid urban shots together?

[Speaker 1] That would be fun!  I always see cool murals on the sides of coffee shops and always think street art would be a cool thing to photograph!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Are you free this weekend, or do you have to work? It's my husband's turn to deal with the kids on Saturday, so I'm free.

[Speaker 1] I'm free!  You'll have to pick me up in the mini-van though since I still haven't gotten a car!  How are your boys doing these days?

[Speaker 2] The boys have been a handful lately (as always), but on the whole I love them so much.  They've just got a lot of energy now that it's starting to get warmer outside.

[Speaker 1] At least they'll be able to get outside more!  Do all give of them play baseball?

[Speaker 2] The older ones do, and I think the youngest will start in a year of two when they're able.  It certainly makes things easier being able to take them all to the baseball diamond and just letting them play on their own.  Organizing their team practices on the other hand is a nightmare...

[Speaker 1] I can't even imagine trying to coach little ones!  How old are the ones you coach? I remember when mine were little and played sports!  The attention span was awful!  They'd be in the field picking flowers while a ball rolled past them!

[Speaker 2] I've coached ages ranging from 6 to 11.  There's definitely a lot of variability in terms of skill.  Some of them are really into it and very talented, others can struggle to pay attention.  It's always a crapshoot what the team is going to look like.

I used to paint. I do not like art.

I drink wine and coffee.  I am 56 years old woman. I have 2 adult children. They used to play sports but did not pay attention.

I do not own a car.  I am a housekeeper.

I like wine and coffee.

I coach little league. I coach kids from 6 to 11.

I drive a mini van.

I go to photography school. I don't think photography and painting are alike.

My older sons play baseball. I organize their team practices.

[Speaker 1] Do you think that your sons and their baseball team would make a good subject for your photography?

[Speaker 2] I take pictures of them at their games and practices.  Every now and then I can capture a movement that is awesome on film.

[Speaker 1] That sound's good. I imagine a good action shot would look great as a big canvas or something.

[Speaker 2] I think so.  Have you thought about getting back into painting?

[Speaker 1] Well I have been considering photography - there is alot of amazing street art near me and I think they would make great prints. Any tips for me?

[Speaker 2] Lighting is important but just having fun with it is more important.  Keep clicking until you get the shot you like.  What is the street art about?

[Speaker 1] There is so much of it and it's all very different. There is a whole part about climate change near by with gorgeous scene of wildlife and nature. What is your favorite thing to photograph?

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds lovely.  I love to photograph nature and the sort of stillness in it.  Sunrises, a butterfly on a flower, things like that.  I will take a photo of anything though, always have my camera with me. My boys always make fun photography subjects. Have you heard from your children?

[Speaker 1] I think to start out I should try to photograph lots of different things to see what works! Unfortunately not, I was hoping they might call this weekend but no :(

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea.  When we get together this weekend, you will get a feel for it.  Oh, that's a shame.  They may be busy, have you tried calling them?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am looking forward to getting all your advice! No, I normally always phone them but I get the sense  it's an inconvenience so I don't bother anymore.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I am sure your not an inconvenience.  But I understand always being the one to call...people seem to forget a phone call works both ways. Was thinking we could get something for lunch this weekend...what do you like to eat?

I admire artists because I am bad at art. I use to paint. I do not like art. I might start photographing things. I live near street art.

I think the street art near me is gorgeous.

I have not heard from my children. I did not try calling my children.

I like wine and coffee.

I drive a mini van.

I always carry my camera with me. I enjoy photographing nature.

[Speaker 1] Were you able to go out and photograph this week? I hope your boys are doing well!

[Speaker 2] I did go out to do some photography, but fell and broke the lens on my camera.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! I have heard they are expensive. I hope it isn't too much to replace it.

[Speaker 2] It was my telephoto lens that I just got. It was quite expensive but I had purchased the insurance so should be able to replace it without out of pocket costs.

[Speaker 1] That must be a relief. I would feel so bad if that happened to me. Can you work with other lenses in the mean time?

[Speaker 2] I can, but was excited to get some new shots of things that I haven't been able to capture before.  There is an eagle nest with eaglets that I am trying to photograph.  Can't do it without the lens that I just cracked!

[Speaker 1] That must be disappointing. Do you develop your own photos as well?

[Speaker 2] I would love to develop my own photos, but with five kids, I don't have enough rooms in the house for a dark room.

[Speaker 1] That is true. Do your boys also enjoy photography?

[Speaker 2] Nah, they enjoy sports and videogames.  Shocking right??

[Speaker 1] Hahha. Do they play on any organized teams?

[Speaker 2] Hmmm, that is an interesting question...I organize their team practices, but I can assure you they are not always organized.  Sometimes it feels like I am just corralling cats.

I like wine and coffee.

I drive a mini van.

I have a husband and 5 sons. We take turns watching the kids. My sons enjoy sports and video games. My sons are on sports teams.

I fell and broke my camera. I own a telephoto lens.  I purchased insurance from my camera.I want to take photos of an eagles nest.

[Speaker 1] How did your sons baseball practice go?  More organized this time?

[Speaker 2] A little bit, but not much better. I think I might be a terrible coach

[Speaker 1] Don't be too hard on yourself.  Getting kids that age to focus can be really difficult.  You'll figure it out.

[Speaker 2] I appreciate the optimism, I thought organizing my sons practices would help me coach little league, but its not working like I thought

[Speaker 1] I imagine coaching takes a lot of patience.  I know when my boys were young and in sports they drove their coaches crazy.

[Speaker 2] Do you remember how their coaches dealt with it or did they just deal with it?

[Speaker 1] The best coach they have had, just broke things down into the simplest possible parts, then got them to focus on what part at a time.  One time I remember they spent the whole practice bunting.  Other coaches just yelled a lot, which didn't help.

[Speaker 2] I try not to yell, but sometimes I get frustrated and it seems like that is the only thing that they respond to

[Speaker 1] If you hear them groaning, it probably means you are doing something right.  If they are groaning, it means you have got their attention.  The year they had that coach they won the league championship on a suicide bunt!

[Speaker 2] What? No way! What a team way to win. Your kids winning the championship must have been so fun. I can only imagine what it is like to win as a coach

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you'll get the chance to find out!  You care about coaching, and that's the most important thing.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, talking to you has really helped. I'm ready to get back out there tomorrow and do my best for the kids

[Speaker 2] I am doing well. About to go to my job at burger king.

[Speaker 1] What do you do there at burger king?

[Speaker 2] I'm only 19 and work the grill. I just want to have fun with friends.

[Speaker 1] That's cool I still attend high school

[Speaker 2] I want to move out. I am drug and booze free though.

[Speaker 1] What kind of fun do you and your friends like?

[Speaker 2] I play music. I'm going to be a rockstar.

[Speaker 1] I hate drugs and don't drink either what kind of music do you play?

[Speaker 2] Scottish black metal. I play electric bag pipes.

[Speaker 1] Wow I've never heard of electric bagpipes. Are there any videos of them on you tube?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I've videos of me on there. I invented them. They are sweet.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry but I don't think you ever told me your name.

[Speaker 2] My name is cletus huckleberry. Nice to meet you.

My name is Jill.

I am in high school.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs.

I want to move out. I am drug and booze free.

I play music. I want to be a rock star. I play the electric bag pipes I invented. I like Scottish black metal.

My name is Cletus Hucklberry.

[Speaker 1] I recently went to a great cafe that just opened that features local bands.  It is nice to go there instead of a bar in the evenings.

[Speaker 2] Its good that we agree on the live music scene! I just wished the crowds didn't drink so much beer there!  What kind of music did they play?

[Speaker 1] Typical coffee-shop music, some acoustic stuff. It was pretty good. I always prefer live music. Yeah, it was nice to be at a cafe where it was mostly coffee and smoothies! How have your bagpipes held up? Have you still been playing those?

[Speaker 2] I hurt my lips on them last week so its been collecting dust for a few days. I plan on getting back soon though and play some new songs. Do you think the cafe would like my bagpipe playing?

[Speaker 1] Oh no, I hope you feel better soon! I think they would honestly. They're looking for local artists to build community and get their own name out there so you should definitely look into it! It's definitely unique. Do you write all the music you play yourself?

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the feedback! Its hard to find gigs that like Scottish metal played with a bagpipe. Sure, I write all of my own music. Have you ever heard of "Shake your Bum Bum"? That is one of mine.

[Speaker 1] It's definitely unique, but interesting enough to get people's attention. I haven't heard it, but I'll have to look it up! I'm always impressed by people who can write their own music. Hey, maybe the cafe will pay you enough so you can start saving up to move out! How is that process going?

[Speaker 2] Well, the folks have been getting a little tired of doing my laundry.  They said they love having me live in the basement but last week I cam home and the locks had been changed. I had to climb in through a window. Whats up with that?

[Speaker 1] Whaaat that's crazy! Have you asked them about it?

[Speaker 2] They said they didn't know anything about it. What is really strange is they still haven't given me a new key. Maybe I could crash on your couch?

[Speaker 1] Hm I don't think my parents would like that. Plus I wouldn't want to make you miss work. How is work going?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I am really important at Burger King and you must have lots of home work. How is school going?

My name is Jill.

I am in high school.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I have never heard of electric bag pipes.

I prefer live music.

I'm impressed by people who can write their own music.

I live with my parents.

I am drug and booze free.

I play music. I want to be a rock star. I play the electric bag pipes I invented.  I haven't played them in a week because I hurt my lips on them. I'm interested in playing my bagpipes at a cafe.

My name is Cletus Hucklberry.

I like live music. I don't like how live music crowds drink so much beer.

I like Scottish black metal. I play Scottish metal on my bagpipes. I write my own music. I wrote a song called "Shake your Bum Bum".

I still live at home and I'm currently looking for ways to move out. I don't have a new key for my current living situation yet.

[Speaker 1] I got a notification saying the cafe is having another local musician performing soon. You should check it out.

[Speaker 2] I have been craving a good folk concert, with acoustic or just a small band. Thanks for the news. Curious what kind of music, or band you may be thinking of?

[Speaker 1] He's an acoustic guitarist, from what I understand. Plays in the style of Jim Croce. I love Jim Croce!

[Speaker 2] Classic, Jim Croce. Now I have one of his songs going through his head, "Time in a Bottle" - kind of a haunting song, you think?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think Time in a Bottle is one of the most beautiful songs ever!  Croce did a lot of story songs too.

[Speaker 2] I sure hope he was paid for his writing. Actually maybe I should research who wrote Croce's big hits. Do you like to sing?

[Speaker 1] I think he wrote most of them himself.  I envy someone with that talent!  I like to sing.  Other people don't like me to sing! haha

[Speaker 2] I hear you there! hehe. My grandma used to laugh and say, "You better be good, or I'll sing!" She wasn't much of a singer either, but she sang loud sometimes.

[Speaker 1] Can you sing? Not that I can imagine you can sing while playing your bagpipes, but I mean in generaL

[Speaker 2] Actually I love to harmonize with other singers, love to have just voices, or a cappella. Love simple melodies and harmonies.

[Speaker 1] So do I!  You do have a fair amount of musical talent!  writing, singing, playing an instrument.  I wish I could do any of those!

[Speaker 2] It mostly is, for feeling good or just getting emotions out sometimes. Especially those old ballads, really can work through things. Performers need an audience too, like you

My name is Jill.

I am in high school.

I went to a new cafe recently. I prefer that cafe over a bar. I prefer live music.

I live with my parents.

I love the artist, Jim Croce.

Time in a Bottle is on of my favorite songs.

I like to sing, but others don't find it enjoyable. I wish I had musical talent.

My name is Cletus Hucklberry. I work at Burger King. I am 19. I grill in Burger King.

I am drug and booze free.

I am interested in going to a folk concert with acoustic instruments and a small band.

I like Jim Croce. I am especially fond of their song, "Time in a Bottle".

[Speaker 1] I was able to make a reservation to the cafe two hours ago to see the acoustic guitarist. I was wondering if you wanted to come along, I'm sure you will enjoy the atmosphere of the event, and the food at the cafe is pretty good too.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is great! Is it an all-ages event? Only because I am only 19, so I want to make sure I will be allowed in.

[Speaker 1] Yup!It is at a cafe and not a bar so all ages are welcome I think it would be just up your alley.

[Speaker 2] OK, perfect! What kind of music does this guitarist play?

[Speaker 1] They are very foksy which is why I thought of you. I've heard them do a cover of our favorite Jim Croce song.

[Speaker 2] I hope they play it at the cafe! That would be such an experience to hear it together and sing along. I think it would be a very special moment.

[Speaker 1] Me too! I was wondering have you ever played your bagpipes in front of a crowd?

[Speaker 2] I haven't played in front of a crowd. It is actually a big dream of mine but I have such bad stage fright and I worry I won't be good enough and that everyone will laugh at me.

[Speaker 1] Well if you ever want to start with an audience of one I can be your guniea pig.

[Speaker 2] I appreciate that! How about we get together before we go to see the live show?

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan! I really am interested in what Scottish black metal is.

[Speaker 2] It's very unique and not everyone's cup of tea if you know what I mean. I don't like to conform to the norm, I like to be different.

My name is Jill.

I am in high school.

I live with my parents.

I love the artist, Jim Croce.

I am interested in learning about Scottish black metal.

I am drug and booze free.

I love to sing and harmonize with others. I enjoy simple melodies and harmonies. I have bad stage fright, and have never played my bagpipes in front of a crowd. I like to stand out and be different.

[Speaker 1] How is your bagpipe playing going? And have you made any progress dealing with your stage fright?

[Speaker 2] Bagpipes going well, stage fright is a lot better.  I went to a hypnotist and it really helped.

[Speaker 1] Going to a hypnotist, is a really creative way to problem solve ! I praise you trying something different. Did they give you any work to do, meditation, etc. ?

[Speaker 2] No, they just give me a large bill to pay.  Insurance didn't cover the session.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. Sounds like it was expensive then. Do you feel the hypnotist was worth it?

[Speaker 2] For sure, it was.  I am actually thinking I could play in front of some people in a small venue, like a cafe.

[Speaker 1] Cafe, yes, a favorite locale to hang out for me. Love watching musicians too, while drinking coffee, and writing.

[Speaker 2] Does that new cafe you recently tried out have performers on weekends?

[Speaker 1] Seems like I just miss it, I've been asking about performances. Mostly I'm watching people these days. I really love listening while watching people.

[Speaker 2] Would you consider helping me and serving as my "test audience"?

[Speaker 1] I'd be open to it, for sure. We could try something online maybe, then build to an in person performance maybe?

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan, let's connect in the next few days, we can do something over Zoom.

[Speaker 1] Yes, 2 dogs and 3 soon to be 4 children! Good thing I have a big house

[Speaker 2] That's a pretty big family.. Must be hectic

[Speaker 1] Very much! And my husband is a doctor, so he is never home.

I'm a woman.

I am studying to be a computer programmer.

I'm a swim coach at my local pool.

My mother is very traditional while I prefer to be more free spirited.

My favorite music genre is death metal.

My family and I are from india.

I like indigo.

I like to be active in things more advanced than jogging.

I am female.

I am a student.
I love being in the water.
I am a hippie but my mom is not.
I listen to punk.
I'm not from the us.

[Speaker 1] Hi! Trying to hangout online to not have to listen to hubby watching sports!

[Speaker 2] What sports is he into?

[Speaker 1] He and I both love most sports, but I prefer track and he likes golf!

[Speaker 2] I like swimming. I coach locally.

[Speaker 1] You do? How fun. Are you a guy or girl?

[Speaker 2] A guy. Where abouts are you?

[Speaker 1] Hawaii. Moved here from texas and love the blue ocean and skies here

[Speaker 2] I d love to see america. I hope to work there one day. I live in india.

[Speaker 1] That sounds wonderful as well. A bit hot maybe

[Speaker 2] The humidity is lethal. Texas gets pretty hot though doesn t it?

[Speaker 1] Horrible. Humid too. I prefer hi since besides running I surf.

[Speaker 2] Wow. You sound cool. I code and listen to music. Boring life.

[Speaker 1] Just start creating using music and code. Not boring but creative!

[Speaker 2] My programming skills will need some work, I m still studying.

[Speaker 1] That s okay. At least you re still growing and moving forward

[Speaker 2] My mother thinks I should just get married and stay in india.

I am from Texas. I now live in Hawaii. I love the ocean and sky in Hawaii.

I run and I surf.

I recently started to creating using music and code.

I like to swim. I coach swimming.

I am a guy. I live in India. I'd like to go to and work in America.

I code and listen to music.

I am studying. I am working on programing skills.

[Speaker 1] Are you in school or are you just studying on your own?

[Speaker 2] I am studying on my own from books and online courses. Once I have a solid foundation, I might consider formal education.

[Speaker 1] That's cool, do you have any idea what area of programming you might want to formally pursue?

[Speaker 2] I am concentrating on the Swift programming language because I am primarily interested in working with Apple products. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Nice, I've been focusing on Python.  I think I want to be a data scientist for a sports or entertainment company and I think it'd be a good entry language for that.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay. With your sports background, I think you'd be a shoo-in for a position in that field. I'm primarily looking to do freelance work because your skills are all that matter, not if you have a degree from a fancy university.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that makes sense, especially if your mom is going to make you stay in India.  Has her mind shifted on that at all?

[Speaker 2] No, she is very desperate that I stay in India because I'm her only son and she depends on me. Also, she is afraid I will face discrimination as a foreigner in America.

[Speaker 1] Dang, maybe you can get her to compromise and let you try living somewhere like Hawaii.  It's great here and not nearly as far from India as the mainland states.  Lot's of different demographics here too, I doubt you'd see any overt discrimination.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. The warm climate would be a plus as well. I experienced snow once on a trip and I wasn't a big fan of it.

[Speaker 1] Yeah the weather here is amazing, it's one of the best tings about Hawaii! Unless you decide to go way up near the top of the volcanos you'll never see snow either.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, and I imagine there would be lots of places to practice my swimming. I'm more used to pool swimming, but I would love to practice some open water swimming.

My husband and I love sports. I prefer track. I have a sports background.

I run and I surf.

I am also studying to be a programmer. I am interested in becoming a data scientist for a sports or entertainment company.

I like to swim. I coach swimming.

I am studying on my own to become a programmer. I am not in school.

I am not married. My mom wants me to get married and stay in India. My mom is afraid of discrimination in America.

I want to work with Apple products. I am looking for work as a freelancer.

I do not like snow.

[Speaker 1] Why do you want to work with Apple products?

[Speaker 2] Apple is one of the most innovative companies in the world. Not only would it pay well but I'd love to help design iPhones and other products.

[Speaker 1] It does seem like a good job. I imagine it has really strong job security, I don't think iPhones will be going anywhere anytime soon!

[Speaker 2] I don't think so either. You mentioned that you created music recently? Maybe you could get some of that on iTunes one day!

[Speaker 1] Maybe so! I'm not sure I'm going to make a hobby out of it though. There seems to be something...missing. I'm going to keep up with my studies but I think I'll focus more of my hobbies outside. Do you have any outdoor hobbies other than swimming?

[Speaker 2] I do actually. I like to hike as well. Going for nice walks is a great past time as well. Nothing would ever top swimming for me though. What about you? What do you like to do outside school?

[Speaker 1] I did track when I was younger. I still run and since I moved here, I've learned to surf. I'm having a lot of fun with it! It took me a long time to pick it up though.

[Speaker 2] Despite loving the water and swimming, surfing is not something I really got into. Tell me how it was. I've always been curious and wondered if it was worth trying. Not to mention, some of my swim students also surf.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever tried skateboarding? It's a lot like skateboarding in that the main thing is learning how to keep your balance, only at least in surfing when you fall it doesn't hurt! The equipment can be expensive but when you're first starting out a lot of bigger beaches will have surf outfitters where you can rent everything you need for the day, and they usually have someone to give lessons too!

[Speaker 2] Well I might have to give it a try. With me being a swimmer, if I fall off, I would surely be okay. I did skateboard when I was younger but I had a small accident and kind of moved away from it. I'm a bit more interested in surfing thanks to you.  Any tips you can give me?

[Speaker 1] Hmm. Well, the way I started off was on a 'boogie board' which is sort of like a surfboard only you rest your upper body on it instead of standing. If you get a good wave with it you kind of feel like Superman! That kind of gets you used to what you have to do and how to move a flat board to maneuver around the wave.

[Speaker 2] It does look like quite an amazing rush! My students and I went on a trip once to the beach. A couple of them were showing off their surfing skills. They tried and tried to get me to do it. I didn't however and told them no. Now I may be able to surprise them once I learn how. I appreciate the help!

I create music for a hobby. I am a student.

I used to run track. I still run. I learned to surf on a boogie board.

I want to work with Apple products to design iPhones and other products. I am looking for work as a freelancer.

I do not like snow.

I swim and hike and go for walks.

I never got into surfing. I used to skateboard when I was younger. I had a skateboarding accident.

[Speaker 1] I saw an employment ad for Apple while I was surfing the internet. Do you want me to send you the link?

[Speaker 2] Hey sure . thanks for your help. Good to hear your interest in music and sports .

[Speaker 1] How is your swimming class going?

[Speaker 2] Great! My students were excited about the trip which will be having in a month form now. How is it in Hawaii? Do you like it in Texas or Hawaii?

[Speaker 1] I like them both. texas is more practical though. Hawaii is very expensive. But it is beautiful. where are your students going on a trip to?

[Speaker 2] Oh good to hear . Will be planning to go to beach  a bit far from where we live  in India. Where did you learn to. surf a boogie board?

[Speaker 1] i learned in hawaii. My babysitter taught me as a child.

[Speaker 2] Thats interesting .. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 1] no i dont how about you

[Speaker 2] Nope not yet. Can you tell me a bit more about your interest as a data scientist for sports or entertaining company. Looks a bit interesting!

My husband and I love sports. I have no kids. I prefer track. I have a sports background.

I used to run track. I still run. I learned to surf on a boogie board in Hawaii.

I do not like snow.

I swim and hike and go for walks.

I like to swim. I coach swimming. I took my swim students to the beach. I'm taking my students to the beach in a month.

I am looking for a job.

I don't have any kids yet.

[Speaker 1] I got a call from some friends back in Texas. They're coming to visit me here in Hawaii this summer!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! you all must be so excited! Are they going to be staying with you?

[Speaker 1] Yes! They are coming to visit Hawaii for a while, my husband and I have an open guest room we are letting them use for the week. They are musicians I used to work with when I was younger, and we were hoping to collaborate on a new project. Have you had any luck looking for a job yet? What is new with you?

[Speaker 2] I really thought that freelancing would give me more freedom and while it has, it has also brought me less money. I haven't found a job yet but I'm ramping up the search. I guess I need to get better before I can go out on my own

[Speaker 1] It will come with time and hard work, if it is truly what you love. Just keep moving forward with the dedication that you've shown so far, and I think you will eventually find more success. Are you still considering trying to move to America? Maybe you could come to visit Hawaii, sometime too!

[Speaker 2] America is the land of opportunity right? And work is much better paid and respected over there so I definitely thinking about it. Marriage is really important to my family so I don't know what to do. You'd let me come visit you in Hawaii?

[Speaker 1] Of course! And I think you would love it here in America. Someone with your kind of work ethic would definitely find success here! You could also meet a beautiful Indian woman here to fall in love with and marry! America is a melting pot and you'll find many people here who will remind you of back home.

[Speaker 2] You sound so optimistic! That would be the dream. My family is just adamant that they find my a wife here and I feel like if I do not do what they want they might not view me as family anymore

[Speaker 1] They are your family. They might not always agree with your decisions, but they will always love you. You have to live your life for you. And if you are as successful as I think you'll be someday, your family will understand.k

[Speaker 2] Thank you for that, that is really reassuring and I will have to ponder on this. I think coming to America is the right decision for me, but I need to talk to my family first. I have enough saved up to try.

[Speaker 1] Are you sure? There are a lot of hidden expenses involved. But maybe we can try to come up with a good plan together! It's definitely not something to be rushed. I'm glad you set some money aside, already.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, now I am nervous, maybe this is all a bad idea. I think I need to go and think on this

[Speaker 1] Awesome, I don't care for chicken, but I'm a blonde with blue eyes

[Speaker 2] Do you like photography? I do it as a side business.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I sure do, I take lots at the bar, I work there, saving for college

[Speaker 2] I teach fourth graders, most nights I need a drink.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I hear ya man, I really do teach fourth graders

[Speaker 2] Do you have a girlfriend? My boyfriend says I'm always playing matchmaker.

[Speaker 1] I don't too busy with my band and teaching

[Speaker 2] What subject do you teach? I teach history.

[Speaker 1] I teach piano, and vocals

[Speaker 2] How many languages do you speak? I'm up to three.

[Speaker 1] I am at 2, spanish and english

[Speaker 2] I speak those and french. Do you like red or silver?

[Speaker 1] I like silver more, I think it looks sharp, especially chrome

[Speaker 2] I'm more partial to the muted tones of each color.

I just rented an apartment with my best friend.

I don't like chicken. I am blonde with blue eyes.

I like photography and take photos at the bar. I work at the bar. I am saving for college.

I prefer muted tones of red and silver.

[Speaker 1] My band got a gig this weekend at the bar I work at.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! Do you write your own music/lyrics?

[Speaker 1] We do about half the time, the rest of the time we do covers. Do you go to concerts very often?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love going to concerts! I hope to go to some this summer. What type of music do you all play?

[Speaker 1] We do mostly metal music with some punk influences. My fourth graders get really confused when I try to explain it to them.

[Speaker 2] I bet, do you play the piano and sing for them during class?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do, they really like it when I play the piano and sing in Spanish.

[Speaker 2] Neat, I bet they really enjoy that. Have you and your best friend moved into your new apartment?

[Speaker 1] We did, I'm trying to figure out which ones of my photographs to put up around the apartment. Do you display your photographs at your place?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do--I have several photographs of some of our favorite places around our apartment.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. Where was your favorite photo taken?

[Speaker 2] At a lake near our home. The photo was taken at sunset during golden hour, it is several years old and still my favorite.

I speak Spanish and English.

I like silver over red.

I do photography as a side business.

I teach fourth grade. I teach history.

I speak Spanish, English and French.

I prefer muted tones of red and silver.

I go to concerts.

I like to travel. I live near a lake.

[Speaker 1] What techniques do you use to help you keep student's attention when you suspect them getting bored?

[Speaker 2] I just try and keep the lessons engaging for myself. I sort of look back at them, if I'm bored teaching them or don't look forward to it, my students will probably hate it too!

[Speaker 1] That's true. I love teaching so i always make it fun for the children. I also throw in singing during classes

[Speaker 2] You know, even the older kids like some of those silly activities. I have friends who teach middle school, and getting the kids up and moving usually helps a lot. I just don't think anyone does good sitting for too long.

[Speaker 1] I agree. What does your boyfriend do? Does he enjoy concerts and travel also?

[Speaker 2] He's not as much into the travel, but he'll keep up with me, so I appreciate that. He's actually the one that got me into concerts, such a fun experience.

[Speaker 1] I bet there's a lot to photograph during concerts or will that be too much multitasking?

[Speaker 2] No you're right. Its a lot of fun to try and get some good shots, the hard part is getting close to the stage. Good ear protection and a nice lens helps.

[Speaker 1] How would you like to come to my gig this weekend? you can bring your camera.

[Speaker 2] That'd be a lot of fun! I can edit the photos up and you can use them for promotion or something.

[Speaker 1] Gracias. I cannot wait to see you there. Please bring your boyfriend if he's free.

[Speaker 2] He'd love it, we'll both be there!

I speak Spanish and English.

I like silver over red.

I have a boyfriend. We just rented an apartment and we move in next Tuesday. I live near a lake.

I do photography as a side business. I am good at editing photos.

I teach fourth grade. I teach history.

I speak Spanish, English and French.

I prefer muted tones of red and silver.

I go to concerts.

I like to travel.

[Speaker 1] Have you done some photography editing professionally?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do it as a part-time job. It is normally related to events which I get invited to go to.

[Speaker 1] My band is looking for a photographer for a concert later this month. If you are free we could use a good photographer

[Speaker 2] That would be perfect. I do not have any planned for next month so I can fit this in easily. Is there any style you want to pictures to follow?

[Speaker 1] Just photographs of the show. You can go with any style or theme that you think will look good.we need some pictures of the show to update our website and social media

[Speaker 2] Excellent, I think I have an idea that will make your band stand out on social media. How long has your band been together?

[Speaker 1] about 4 years officially but we are all childhood friends. So we both teach fourth graders. What are the odds!? Do you enjoy teaching?

[Speaker 2] I love it. It is one of those things I realised I was meant to do the moment I stepped into a class.

[Speaker 1] I struggle with classroom management at times but i think i will get there eventually.

[Speaker 2] Just make sure you have a clear plan going into each lesson. This will help you with the overall management of the classroom.

[Speaker 1] How long have you been teaching

[Speaker 2] About 3 years now. How about you?

I don't have a girlfriend. I am in a band. I'm busy with my band and teaching. I write my own songs sometimes. I play metal and punk music. I play the piano. My band has been together for 4 years and all the members are childhood friends.

I speak Spanish and English.

I like silver over red.

My band needs a photographer. My band has a website and social media accounts that need to be updated.

I am a teacher. I sometimes find classroom management challenging.

I teach fourth grade. I teach history. I have been teaching for three years.

I speak Spanish, English and French.

I prefer muted tones of red and silver.

I go to concerts. I like to travel.

I am free to work next month. I have some ideas for the band photos.

In my experience having a lesson plan can help with classroom management.

[Speaker 1] I tried to develop a lesson plan as you suggested and it really did help me with classroom management.

[Speaker 2] I am so glad you took my advice. I would not be able to function without one. I find I even seem to have more time now that it is all planned out. I hope it works out that way for you as well. It is wonderful to some some extra minutes to be at one with the students and talk to them regarding their feelings and any feedback.

[Speaker 1] Yes, having a lesson plan can help to improve operational efficiency of the class room. I have been slowly adapting to making a lesson before class.

[Speaker 2] Do you think there are any particular challenges when planning an arts class. I find history lessons are relatively straight-forward to plan out as long as their it time allotted for inquiries. I imagine piano and vocals need some freedom for the artistic juices to flow.

[Speaker 1] The biggest challenge I face is that each child is on a different level for creativity, so sometimes it can be hard to plan a lesson that will fit all the children's creativity and aspirations.  a

[Speaker 2] That is tough. Maybe you can discuss with each one what they personally want to get out of the classes. I find that fourth graders are actually way more in tune with how they learn best than we give them credit for.

[Speaker 1] I wonder if I could create several lesson plans/topics and have the children pick which one would work best for them. Kind of like a class vote?

[Speaker 2] Wow! That is a really good idea. And it will empower them while making them responsible for their own learning. I really love this idea. I may even have to steal it!

[Speaker 1] I think it would be a great idea too, but it would certainly be more work for the teacher since they would have to come up with multiple lesson plans at once!

[Speaker 2] Initially, yes, but I think you will quickly learn what works and what doesn't. I am sure the kids have lots of ideas too. Maybe it would also be fun to start the day with some musical improv to get the creative juices flowing. Then you can toss some ideas around.

[Speaker 1] Hey, thats a great idea and I think that could work. I believe music can help to open the mind and get people thinking, especially children!

[Speaker 2] I am right there with you. As much as I enjoy history, it has taught me that the arts are way more important than we give them credit for.

[Speaker 2] Nothing just singing and looking at my building blocks! Ruff

[Speaker 1] I had blocks when I was little. But I'm in grade 3 now!

[Speaker 2] Not yet! But I'll be soon! But I've to give up chocolate.

[Speaker 1] Why? Chocolate is great! I get special candy in disney world every summer

[Speaker 2] Wait... What? I am confused. Dogs ca not eat chocolate and I'll be a dog soon.

[Speaker 1] You are hard to understand. Let it go! Let it go!

[Speaker 2] I love snow, I can roll in it! Dogs can not go to disney ruff

[Speaker 1] Disney has dogs! Pluto is a dog! But I like mickey better! My favorite!

[Speaker 2] Maybe I can teach pluto abc song! I want to be a dog just like him!

[Speaker 1] You can! That would be fun. How old are you little doggy?

[Speaker 2] I do not know, what do you mean? Do you like chocolate?

I used to have blocks. I'm in rd grade.

Mickey is my favorite.

I have to give up chocolate.

I love snow. I can roll in snow. I can not go to Disney.

I want to be like Pluto. I do not know how old I am.

[Speaker 1] I just found out I am going to Disney next week. I can't wait to get some candy.

[Speaker 2] That sounds exciting! What kind of candies do think you will get this time? Also, will you bring some back for me to try?

[Speaker 1] I like licorice and salt water taffy. Do you like those old fashioned candies ?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy almost any type of candy. So, are the licorice and salt water taffy the special candies that you get in Disney World? As long as its not chocolate, you should bring some back for me to try.

[Speaker 1] Ok, do you want me to Bring you some Pluto themed toys ?

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! I can pay you for them. I don't want it to be a burden on to you. Do you think you'll bring back some Mickey themed toys for yourself?

[Speaker 1] I think I have enough Mickey stuff, but I now that I will buy some more. I think I will have to give away some of my Mickey toys to make place.  Do you want some ?

[Speaker 2] If you are going to get rid of them, I would be happy to take them. I have a niece who would love them. I think she would be very happy to have a few new toys.

[Speaker 1] That would be my pleasure. I like to know that they will be still be appreciated. Do you keep all your Pluto toys ?

[Speaker 2] Of course! I have a bit of a Pluto shrine going between all the toys, shirts, and other general paraphernalia related to Pluto. I assume you do something similar for you Mickey gear?

[Speaker 1] There are some items that I keep, but I like to have a rotation. So I never need more space and I still have new stuff. Do you think you will need more space for your collection ?

[Speaker 2] If I keep accruing more Pluto related items, of course. I don't intend to get rid of any of my stuff related to Pluto. I do like the idea of decluttering my space by getting rid of some of my Pluto items but I just can't do it. I take pride in my collection.

I used to have blocks. I'm in 3rd grade.

I go to Disney World every summer. I get special candy in Disney World. Mickey is my favorite. I am going to Disney next week. I have a lot of Mickey stuff.

I like licorice and salt water taffy.

I would like Mickey toys. I have a lot of Pluto memorabilia. I would like to declutter, but I can't bring myself to get rid of my Pluto items.

I like all kinds of candy. I don't like chocolate.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I should look into selling my Mickey Mouse items.

[Speaker 2] Honestly now might be a good time to sell, lots of people seem to be interested in childhood collectables lately.  Do you need the money?

[Speaker 1] I want to buy more Mickey stuff but I really don't have the space for everything so that's why I was thinking of selling.

[Speaker 2] Ah, that makes sense! I've got the same problem.  I'd love to have some new Mickey toys, but I've got so much already and I can't bring myself to get rid of anything.  Do you know what you might sell?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure yet. I need to sit and go through everything before I decide. I think I should also look at the prices things are currently selling for?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's what I'd recommend.  If I were going to sell I'd look online to see which of my items would sell for the highest prices and focus on those.  I love all of my collectables equally, so I'm okay selling off just the highest price ones and keeping the rest.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I get that. I really want new things so I don't mind selling some. I will need to do that this weekend before I go to Disney next week.

[Speaker 2] If you need any help researching what to sell just let me know, I love this kind of stuff!  It's so exciting you're going to Disney too, anything new you want to see this time?

[Speaker 1] That's great, thank you. I'm not sure , I think there is a new ride which I haven't been on yet so that's exciting. I generally don't have a plan when I go.

[Speaker 2] That's cool, sometimes a big part of the excitement is just walking around and exploring to find what's new rather than relying too much on other peoples' advice.  It's really fun to just immerse yourself while you're there.

[Speaker 1] Definitely I love just walking around taking everything in.

[Speaker 2] I need to go to Disney sometime, it's sad that my parents haven't wanted to take me and I can't find anyone else to go with.

I go to Disney World every summer. I get special candy in Disney World. Mickey is my favorite. I am going to Disney next week. I prefer to go with the flow when I visit Disney. I enjoy the experience of Disney as a whole.

I like licorice and salt water taffy.

I haven't been to Disney. My parents and friends won't go with me to Disney.

[Speaker 1] I really enjoy my Mickey Mouse hats, what are some of your favorite collectibles?

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh I love the hats too! But I really really like the figurines oh oh and I have a snowglobe with mickey in it!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I will have to look for them when I'm there. What else do you like to collect?

[Speaker 2] Well I really like Pluto stuff too. Have you ever collected any of those? I have a watch with Pluto in it and his arms move around the clock!

[Speaker 1] I prefer Goofy to Pluto, actually. Did you ever see him sing the song about sailing? It's so fast, and I still want to learn the words.

[Speaker 2] I don't think I have. Man I really want to go to Disney. You are so lucky!

[Speaker 1] Maybe you can go sometime this summer after all. I'm sure your parents would let you go if you offer to help them with things.

[Speaker 2] I wish. I tried so hard but they just don't to go. Grownups! What is your favorite thing to do there?

[Speaker 1] I just like seeing the characters. They are really fun to get pictures with. Did you ever meet any famous characters before? Or people?

[Speaker 2] No not really. I saw a guy once at the grocery store with my Mom that was on tv in our town. But nothing huge. Did you?

[Speaker 1] That's really cool. Was he on the news? I saw the guy from Breaking Bad once at a store too. I didn't talk to him though.

[Speaker 2] No he did a commercial for a store in our town. He wasn't really famous I guess but he owned a chocolate store or something. I hate chocolate!

I like licorice and salt water taffy.

I have too much Mickey Mouse stuff and don't have room for more.I haven't decided what I want to sell yet. I collect Micky Mouse hats. I prefer Goofy to Pluto.

I like to take pictures with the characters. I saw the guy from Breaking Bad at the store but didn't talk to him.

I also have too much Mickey Mouse stuff and don't have enough space. I value my Mickey Mouse collectables. I plan on selling the highest valued collectables. I like Mickey Mouse hats. I like figurines. I have a Micky mouse snow globe.

I've never met anyone famous.

[Speaker 1] I talked to my parents about you going to Disney with us. They'd be happy to have you come along!

[Speaker 2] I think my parents will need to okay it first but I am happy they said okay. I would love to go.

[Speaker 1] There are so many places there to explore, and the rides too, sometimes you can scream from the mountain tops on the rides. They have cool snacks too.

[Speaker 2] Do they have a lot of candy? I’d love to get a Pluto lollipop or something like that.

[Speaker 1] Seems like they have a few big candy stores. I have my faves, the licorice, taffy too. I'll buy the chocolate! you can pass on that

[Speaker 2] Yeah I never liked that too much. I really hope my parents say okay. They won’t even tell me how old I am, but I’m beginning to suspect I’m somewhere between 8 and 5 months and 9 and 4 months.

[Speaker 1] That is pretty incredible. My understanding is that humans usually obtain language after 2 years old. I get the feeling you're teasing me. We learn to write when we're 4 years and older!

[Speaker 2] No I mean 8 years and 5 months old and 9 years and 4 months old. I don’t get why my parents just won’t tell me how old I am.

[Speaker 1] That may make a little bit more sense. I was thinking babies don't type texts usually! That is confusing, I'm unsure what to say about why your parents aren't sharing. I hear you though.

[Speaker 2] Maybe Mickey will be able to answer that for me. He is magical after all.

[Speaker 1] One can hope I suppose. I like fantasizing sometimes about what Mickey might do. Would be nice to have a tea party with him.

[Speaker 2] My dad likes to drink beer during our tea parties. He thinks it’s funny but he won’t let me try any.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, I'm very excited! Maybe you can plan a little trip when I move.

[Speaker 1] Not a bad idea, I'll see if I can get time off from my work as IT. Although I could even continue working a bit if I brough my laptop along.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! How is your job going by the way?

[Speaker 2] I start the job in two months. I plan to move in 6 weeks after my notice period is finished.

[Speaker 1] Do you plan to buy or rent a home in California? Are you looking to be near the water?

[Speaker 2] I think, I will rent for 6 months until I now the city better and then buy somewhere. I'd like to be near the water.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good plan. How old is your daughter?

[Speaker 2] She is 3, almost 4. What are you watching on tv just now?

[Speaker 2] It is a great age. I love Love Youtube. What is your favourite Walking Dead character?

[Speaker 1] I always liked Maggie the best. This show is rough though, you lose characters left and right and then way down the road they surprise you and there they are again. lol

[Speaker 2] It really does have a lot of plot twists in it.

I love movies. I probably watch too much tv. My favorite show is the Walking Dead and am excited for the next season. Maggie is my favorite character from The Walking Dead.

I work on my cars.

I had a girlfriend that was an artist.

I live watching YouTube. I watch music videos.

I live in Ohio. I am a doctor. I was trying to get a job in San Fransisco. My daughter lives there. My daughter is 3 years old. I plan to visit my daughter a lot if I move close to her.

I just got a new job. I am planning to move for my work. I start my new job in two months. I will be moving in 6 weeks to California. I will be renting when I move to California. I would like to live near the water.

I like to paint.

I like to watch YouTube.

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I are talking about visiting California this coming summer. We should get together when we visit for dinner!

[Speaker 2] Sounds great as long as I can bring my daughter! It'll have to be after we get settled.

[Speaker 1] That sounds terrific.  Do you think you will be able to get a place near the water, or close to Golden Gate Park?

[Speaker 2] Golden Gate Park will be cheaper, but luckily there's good public transportation in the city, so just about anywhere is a good location. Are you thinking about visiting anywhere else besides San Francisco while you're nearby?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, as long as we are there, it would be great to visit Muir Woods and see the redwood trees, and then drive up to the wine country in Napa.

[Speaker 2] That's a splendid idea. In fact, I'd recommend you stay in Napa rather than the city. It's beautiful up there and accommodations are cheaper. Plus you can taste lots of wine and be close to your lodgings instead of having to hike all the way back downtown!

[Speaker 1] LOL, yes, we would certainly need a designated driver after a day visiting wineries.  It might be a little difficult for you to bring your daughter though, as she is so young.

[Speaker 2] A lot of the wineries are outside seating and don't mind kids too much as long as they behave, but yes, I'd prefer to hang out just with the adults if we're doing tastings :)

[Speaker 1] That's good to know, we can plan something around that.  And I'm sure there are many great parks.  Do you have any YouTube videos on San Francisco and Napa you can recommend?

[Speaker 2] Huh, you know? I've never even thought about looking up videos since I kind of know all the famous places and usually just need help finding restaurants. Let me check and I'll send you some links!

[Speaker 1] Wow, it sounds like you have visited there often already. This will be our first time, so any recommendations will be really helpful. Since you like art, do you have any museums or art festivals you could recommend we visit?

I work on my cars.

I had a girlfriend that was an artist.

I want to visit Muir Woods, redwood trees and Napa. I like wine. I have never visited San Francisco.

I like to paint.

I like to watch YouTube.

I like wine. I've never watched video on San Francisco or Napa.

[Speaker 1] I have finally booked my trip to San Francisco and we will depart in 3 months, so you have time to settle and we can hang out together!

[Speaker 2] That's great, by then I should have scouted out some good restaurants and bars that we could check out.

[Speaker 1] Oh great. I am so glad you have taken control of that part of things.

[Speaker 2] No problem.  I am thinking perhaps we can get up to Napa too.  Interested?

[Speaker 1] I would love that. Have you gone there before?

[Speaker 2] No, but I like wine, and I like trying new things, so feels like a win/win.

[Speaker 1] Where in California are you moving to? Did you get that job in San Francisco?

[Speaker 2] Couldn't afford San Francisco, even on a doctor salary.  I am just outside the city limits.  I will be working at the university medical center.

[Speaker 1] That is great though! Will you miss Ohio at all?

[Speaker 2] I'll miss my Buckeyes, but that's probably about it.

[Speaker 1] Not the weather? Haaha, I don't blame you. Have you ever lived out of state before?

[Speaker 2] My dad was in the military, so I actually lived abroad in Germany when I was young.
