[Speaker 1] Would you like to grab a coffee? I'm dying for a mocha.

[Speaker 2] Coffee is my passion, so yes!

[Speaker 1] The last person I had coffee with kept trying to add schnapps. Not cool.

[Speaker 2] Not at all. I don't drink any type of alcohol.

[Speaker 1] If you love mountain biking too I will eat my fathers hard hat

[Speaker 2] No, I'm kinda a quiet family man. My wife and kids rock.

[Speaker 1] Haha glad to hear that. How many kids do you have?

[Speaker 2] Three. It is all fun and games until someone tries to steal my chocolate ice cream.

[Speaker 1] No worries I took up mountain biking when I put down my ice cream spoon

[Speaker 2] Much healthier. Do you work? I own a plumbing business.

[Speaker 1] I used to do a bit of construction. Want to be an architect. Any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I like to read and play video games. I mostly just spend time with my family.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. What do you read?

[Speaker 2] Mostly fiction and biographies. I like those two genres the best.

[Speaker 1] Have you read team of rivals?

[Speaker 2] I've not. However, it does sound interesting. I will look for it.

I love coffee, mocha in particular. I don't like schnapps in coffee.

I love mountain biking.

I love coffee, it's my passion.

I'm teetotal.

I have a wife and 3 kids.

I own a plumbing business.

I like reading and video games but I spend most of my time with my family. I like reading fiction and biographies the most.

[Speaker 1] I think I am going to apply to university, a friend recommended one that is excellent for architecture.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's awesome. when are you hoping to start going back to school?

[Speaker 1] I am thinking in the fall I will start back. I am done doing construction, finally had enough of that!

[Speaker 2] I can see how construction can become tiring after a while. that's a lot of hard work that goes into building.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's hard and your in the heat all day! At least an architect can be indoors where it's nice and cool! I can drink my coffee all day too, lol!

[Speaker 2] The pay for an architect is quite nice too. I know construction works can make good money after years of moving up. but being inside drinking coffee sounds better

[Speaker 1] Yes, it sure does! I could go for a cup of mocha right now actually! Ha! I bet you have a coffee in front of you right now!

[Speaker 2] I sure do! gotta have coffee to get through the days with my kids. they have so much energy.

[Speaker 1] I bet, have you guys taken any family vacations lately?

[Speaker 2] we went to Disneyland a few months ago. that was a trip that required much coffee. but it was lots of fun. what about you?

[Speaker 1] I took my family on a mountain bike expedition a few months back. That was a blast! Don't know when the next adventure will be but hopefully before I go off to school!

[Speaker 2] mountain biking sounds like a lot of fun. but my kids may be a little too young for that still.

I used to do construction but want to be an architect. I like architecture. I want to go to university.

I work in construction. I don't enjoy my job.

I love mountain biking.

I love coffee, it's my passion.

I'm teetotal.

I have a wife and 3 kids.

I own a plumbing business.

Me and my family went to Disney Land.

[Speaker 1] Have you picked up any new books or games recently that you can recommend?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't, but I am Interest in comic books.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I haven't picked up a comic book in years! Which ones are your favorites?

[Speaker 2] I love to read the old Superman comic books. What types of books are you interest in?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy light, casual reading. If the book was made into a movie - even better. I don't really have a ton of time to read though. If I have a few minutes of free time, I'm usuallty on my bike on the trail.

[Speaker 2] What about games, do you like games, if yes, what kinds of games you most interest in?

[Speaker 1] I don't have much time for games, unfortunately. I'd love to find one I can play intermittently. I rememebr you said you were though. Which games do you like to play?

[Speaker 2] I like games like checker and card games. I would really love to learn chess.

[Speaker 1] I tried to learn chess once a long time ago, I didn't understand the concept. It's definitely a challenging game to learn. What type of card games do you play?

[Speaker 2] I only know how to play Black Jack 21, this game more for fun and not for money. About chess, where I live a person has to pay to learn chess.

[Speaker 1] Do you pay an individual tutor, or is it a class you would attend to learn how to play chess?

[Speaker 2] I pay an individual tutor, I don't pay much, because he is a friend of the family.

I love mountain biking. I like to ride my bike on trails.

I like games. I haven't read a comic books in years. I like books that were made into movies.

I am busy. I don't have much free time.

I tried to learn to play chess.

I love coffee, it's my passion.

I'm teetotal.

I have a wife and 3 kids.

I own a plumbing business.

Me and my family went to Disney Land.

I like games. I like old Superman comic books.

[Speaker 1] Are you having fun learning to play chess.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I enjoy it, but I'm not very good at it

[Speaker 1] You'll get better with practice, it's a difficult game. I'd like to give it another go at some point

[Speaker 2] Have you ever given chess another go? Or are you still too busy these days?

[Speaker 1] I'm still quite busy at the moment. I've been applying to university and working a lot to try and save some money

[Speaker 2] I hope you get into the university of your choice. I've been pretty busy as well, we're shorthanded at the plumbing business. Have you had time for any biking?

[Speaker 1] Thanks, me too. Oh no, I hope things get better soon! How come you're shorthanded, has someone quit? I managed to get out for a few hours last weekend, it was fun

[Speaker 2] Jeri left for maternity leave, and the rest of us are struggling to cover her jobs. She'll be back soon. I'm glad you got a bit of fun this past weekend, all I did was read and watch tv, I was so tired.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should hire a temporary worker to cover her while she's gone. It might make things easier for the rest of you. Did you read or watch anything interesting?

[Speaker 2] Mostly read some of my old comics, you know how I am about my comics. You should pick them back up someday.

[Speaker 1] I do! I'd like to but you know I'm already so busy. With everything else it's hard to fit in time for my family, let alone comic books!

[Speaker 2] I know how that is. How's your family doing?

I am busy. I don't have much free time.

I tried to learn to play chess.

I am applying to school. I try to save money. I find it hard to find free time. I have a family.

I love coffee, it's my passion.

I'm teetotal.

I have a wife and 3 kids.

I own a plumbing business. My coworker is on maternity leave. Work makes me tired.

Me and my family went to Disney Land.

I like checkers. I like card games. I want to learn to play chess. I like to play Black Jack 21. I pay a tutor to learn chess. I am not very good at it.

[Speaker 1] I got a chess board. I am going to try to learn to play with the family.

[Speaker 2] That is great that you are trying again. Having your own board will help I am sure.

[Speaker 1] The main thing too, is just to have a few people into the logic and strategy. Love playing with someone who has skill. Beginners too.

[Speaker 2] I ordered a new board game which I am excited to try out. I'm hoping to have a game night soon.

[Speaker 1] That's a good plan. I improve skill when I practice with others. There's a local chess club I've been considering lately.

[Speaker 2] That is a great plan. A way to meet some new people as well

[Speaker 1] Yeah, just need to find a few fellow chess nerds! Seems like we are a small percentage of the general population. I'm glad you're into chess too.

[Speaker 2] Well I want to earn it. I wouldn't say I am a chess nerd yet.

[Speaker 1] It's okay if you do not take that title on, but I kind of wear it with pride! You have to be smart too, to want to study and play chess.

[Speaker 2] I suppose so. Did you watch the Queen's Gambit?

[Speaker 1] I started watching it, although the way they portrayed the foster home, brought back some bad memories of my childhood, so I paused. I like them showing women playing chess though.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'm sorry. It was a bit rough to see but I think once you get past that it was worth it.


I love cats and have two cats.

I have trouble with food when I do not have anything to do.

[Speaker 1] Hey! Do you love cats?

[Speaker 2] Hey... I'm a dog person, I have two

[Speaker 1] Ah that's cool, I have two cats and got a collection of 1000 hats for them!

[Speaker 2] Wow!!! That's a lot lol

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I have a weakness for cats and vanilla ice cream, they're the best!

[Speaker 2] My weakness is eating when I am bored

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite season? Mine is winter!

[Speaker 2] I'm a summer girl

[Speaker 1] Have you ever watched the olympics? I won a gold medal in 1992!

[Speaker 2] Cool what did you win for?

[Speaker 1] It was in the 100 meter dash! I got 7 seconds!

[Speaker 2] Wow!! I just run on my treadmill lol

[Speaker 1] Nothing like a good exercise!

[Speaker 2] Yes and I love the rower machine

[Speaker 1] Row row row your boat gently down the stream, when you see a crocodile...

[Speaker 2] Lol nursery r h y m e s

I'm a cat person, and I have two cats. I have a collection of 1000 hats for them.

I really love vanilla ice cream.

Winter is my favorite season.

I love dogs, I have two dogs.

I tend to eat when I am bored.

I like summer the most.

[Speaker 1] I ran into a friend just two hours ago, and I heard they were selling an old rower machine that they no longer use. I think you would be interested in buying it off from them, would you like to get in contact with them?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's awesome, thanks! I'm a bit low on money right now, but I'm definitely interested in buying it a bit later. Do you know the price they're asking?

[Speaker 1] I believe they are askign $100. If you think you can buy it, I bet they would work out some kind of payment play or layaway option.

[Speaker 2] That sounds extra cheap... I know that they're your friends, but still. Are you sure it's in a working condition?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I swear by it. They don't really care about making money off it, they just want it out of their house. Let me know if you are interested.

[Speaker 2] Then sure, I am interested, that's basically free considering how expensive rower machines are. Thank you a lot! How are your cats by the way?

[Speaker 1] They're good. I think one has a stomach bug though, I'm going to have to take her to the vet. How are your dogs?

[Speaker 2] Oh, you should. I don't like going to vet but my pets' health is worth it for sure. They're great, thanks for asking :) I've started running in the morning and taking them both with me, it's so fun!

[Speaker 1] I bet they love that. Running outside is so much better, especially if you have fun companions. Have you tried to hike with them?

[Speaker 2] No, not yet... They don't really like going out, which is weird I guess haha. I'll try to take them with me when we go hiking next time, thanks!

[Speaker 1] That is strange, lol. Well maybe it's not for them. I wish I could take my cats out, but I think people would give me strange looks.

[Speaker 2] It doesn't matter what other people think, don't worry! Just take your cats out and see if they like it, in the end it is all that matters.

I really love vanilla ice cream.

Winter is my favorite season.

I love dogs, I have two dogs.

I tend to eat when I am bored.

I like summer the most.

I mostly run on a treadmill. I love using the rower machine the most. I'm looking to purchase a rowing machine. I'm a little tight on money currently.

I've started running.

[Speaker 1] How are you finding the rowing machine? Is it helping your exercise?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm quite happy with it.  It's in really good shape--better than I expected--and I like having it at home to use when the weather outside isn't conducive to running.  So thanks for facilitating the purchase for me with your friends!

[Speaker 1] I'm so glad you are liking it!  I remember when I was training for the olympics, I had to run outside no matter what the weather was.  It's great to have an indoor alternative!  I still like to run, but not when it's too hot outside!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm sure that for Olympic training there's no choice but to forge ahead, regardless of how you feel or what the weather's like.  Was 1992 the only Olympics you got to compete in?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm afraid so.  I ended up with an injury in 1993 and that pretty much ended my competitive career.  Now I like to coach other athletes such as yourself....

[Speaker 2] Do you currently coach anyone you think has a shot at winning a medal at the Olympics?

[Speaker 1] No, I just work with local athletes. I have to stay pretty close to home due to my cats, and especially now that one of my cats is ill. I'm really worried  about her.

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  Has it not gotten any better?  I think you better take her to the vet if she hasn't started to improve by now.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I've been thinking that. It's hard to take her out of the house but I guess I have to do it. Do you have a near by vet that you trust your dogs with?

[Speaker 2] Yes, actually I do.  One of my dogs ate a rock one time and had to go to the vet.  I really trust them even though I've only been once.  Would you like their name and phone number?

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds scary!  Yes, please sendme the information if you get a chance. I'm sure if you trust the that they will be able to help me, hopefully without costing a fortune!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I don't remember them being costing too much.  Of course I was mostly just glad that my dog was okay.  I'll have to look for their information though.  I'll get it to you as soon as I find it.  Have your cat's symptoms been getting worse?

I really love vanilla ice cream.

Winter is my favorite season.

One of my cats is ill. I wish I could take my cats out with me. I'm a little subconscious. I need to take my cat to the vet. I want information on a vet.

I was injured in 1993. I coach local athletes.

I love dogs, I have two dogs.

I tend to eat when I am bored.

I like summer the most.

I use a rowing machine. I like to run. I recently bought a rowing machine.

I have a vet I like.

[Speaker 1] My cat that I was worried about because he was ill is getting worse.

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry to hear that! Do you know what is wrong with them or do you have to wait until you take your cat to the vet?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, but she's an older kitty and has some chronic health problems.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I can relate to that. One of my dogs is older and has diabetes. Do you know when you'll be able to take them in to the vet?

[Speaker 1] Later today for sure. She went off her food yesterday morning and still isn't eating yet today. She's drinking water, though, so it might just be something transient. Still, I don't want to chance it.

[Speaker 2] That's very good that you'll be able to get them in today! I find its best not to wait, especially when they have chronic issues. Hopefully it's nothing serious!

[Speaker 1] Hopefully! We'll have to see. My vet's a good guy, does a complete assessment, so I'll know more later in the day.  She's a sweet animal and I'd had to lose her.

[Speaker 2] That's so great. It's so important to have a caring vet! I'll pray for your cat to get well soon! Why don't you tell me what the Olympics was like. Maybe that will get your mind off your worries.

[Speaker 1] It was such an exciting time for me, really gave me an opportunity to excel in my sport. The training over the year before was the most difficult thing I've ever done, but it was worth every second!

[Speaker 2] How often did you train?

[Speaker 1] Daily, in the early morning and late afternoon, for two or more hours. Had to follow a strict exercise and dietary regimen in addition to the sprint training. Socializing was rare, because I was exhausted half the time, and my coach wanted me in bed at a decent hour.

[Speaker 2] haha That sounds worse than living with your parents! I guess it really did pay off for you! What kind of exercises helped you with sprinting?

I really love vanilla ice cream.

Winter is my favorite season.

I competed in the Olympics in 1992, and won a gold medal in the 100 meter dash, by running it in seven seconds. I trained twice a day. I was on a strict exercise and diet regimen. I did sprint training.

One of my cats is ill. I wish I could take my cats out with me. I'm a little subconscious. My cat is older. My cat has chronic health problems. I am going to take my sick cat to the vet. My cat is sweet. My vet is thorough.

I love dogs, I have two dogs. I have an older dog that has diabetes.

I tend to eat when I am bored.

I like summer the most.

I have a vet I like.

[Speaker 1] My cat recovered it was just a little bug.

[Speaker 2] That is great! I'm glad they are on the mend How old are they?

[Speaker 1] He's getting to his later years in life, and I know it. It's good to be prepared for what's ahead. Love the little cat. Been thinking about your dogs.

[Speaker 2] Yea, Mine are 10 and 12. I hope I have a few more good years with them.

[Speaker 1] That is one good thing about a parrot, they live for a long time. But then you have to write their care and vet costs, into your will, because they may outlive you. I wish we could have our dogs and cats longer, too.

[Speaker 2] Don't we all. Do you have a parrot too? Two cats and a bird sound like a lot.

[Speaker 1] I don't have a parrot now, yet I had one before. I chose a breed that was 15-30 years usually in life span, and they died in the middle of that average. Smart! No birds here now.

[Speaker 2] Are they as active and vocal as I have heard?

[Speaker 1] They learn words, and your cuss words too! I was embarrassed once because at holiday time with family, when I left, my sister said the parrot was cussing. Wonder where he learned that? hehe

[Speaker 2] I bet its a great story to tell though and one you won't forget any time soon.

[Speaker 1] Yes. That bird did it a few times. They reveal a lot. He spoke over 100 words, and I read books on training them. Highly intelligent. Dogs and cats are smart, in different ways.

[Speaker 2] True, but imagine if they could vocalize like parrots. I bet it would be pretty hilarious.


My favorite color is navy blue.

I work fulltime in a shipyard.

I am ex military.

I donate a part of my salary to charity each month.

I volunteer my time with a local bunny rescue.

I'm a 12 year old girl.
I don't have many friends.
I hate school.
I love to play pobox.

I love the way to ocean and sky look on a sunny day.

My job is physically demanding.

I used to be in the army.

I consider myself a very giving person.

I spend my free moments working with rabbits who have been saved.

I am a female who has been alive for 144 months.

I'm not very social.

I do not like academics.

I consider myself to be a gamer.

[Speaker 1] I love bunnies! I wish I would open a bunny daycare or hotel.

[Speaker 2] That is a cool idea. How are you today?

[Speaker 1] A little tired. Worked all day today at the shipyard.

[Speaker 2] I just got back from school, not a big fan of it though.

[Speaker 1] You should join the military. I am ex military. Girls love uniforms ;

[Speaker 2] I've never considered it. Maybe it would help me make some more friends.

[Speaker 1] I joined the navy because I like navy blue, but infantry has sexy uniforms also.

[Speaker 2] I will definitely keep the in mind if I join.

[Speaker 1] I donate part of my salary to my bunny rescue. You should too.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any bunnies?

[Speaker 1] Not anymore. I ate them all.

[Speaker 2] Wow! You have quite the appetite.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I like to eat. What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I'm a receptionist at a dentist office

I work at the shipyard.

I am still going to school.

I work in a dentist office as a receptionist.

[Speaker 1] Recently I talked to my friend, and they told me they were giving away their bunnies they no longer can keep. I was thinking about getting one, but I was wondering if you were interested in owning one as well. I can give them a call letting them know if you're interested.

[Speaker 2] Heck yeah! I would love to get one or two! Do you know they are boys or girls and what color they are?

[Speaker 1] they have boys and girls. I'll try to get pictures. I'm not sure about the colors of them right now.

[Speaker 2] Okay cool, I am not that picky. Are a, curious if you are going to eat any of yours? I sort of get grossed out at the thought of it?

[Speaker 1] not these ones. the ones I had before were bred as food. these ones are just pets

[Speaker 2] OHHH! I didn't know there was a difference, sorry. I hope I didn't offend you because I just didn't know.

[Speaker 1] it's a good question. I know people think it's weird but it's no different thank raising chickens or cows for food.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense when you say it that way. I guess people harvest all sorts of animals. I recently tried quail meat, have you tried it?

[Speaker 1] I haven't had that yet. was it good?

[Speaker 2] It was very hard to chew and was a bit gamey. I don't think I would try it again unless I had a ton of ketchup!

[Speaker 1] that doesn't sound pleasant. I think I'll stick to chicken and turkey.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think I might just stop grossing you out! I really do want a bunny though, please!

I work at the shipyard. I was in the Navy because I loved the navy blue uniforms.

My friend is giving away their bunnies. I am thinking about taking one as pet.

I have never tried quail. I like turkey and chicken and do not want to try quail.

I am still going to school.

I would love to take one or two bunnies. I don't have a preference between boy and girl rabbits. I get grossed out at the thought of eating rabbits.

I did not really like the quail. I would use a lot of ketchup if I had it again.

[Speaker 1] I got the bunnies from my friend! I have five here, and you can pick one or two that you'd like to keep!

[Speaker 2] Thanks!  I'll do that.  What colors do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have two fawn, two black, and a lilac.

[Speaker 2] Do you care which colors I get?  Oh, also, how big are they?  I need to know what size cage to get for them.

[Speaker 1] you can pick whichever one you want. I don't know the sex of them yet though. and they will get to about 5lbs. you should look into getting a big rabbit hutch. they actually don't do very well in the small cages. not unless you plan to let them free roam the house and just use the cage for when you can't supervise.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I'll get the hutch.  I think I'll take one fawn and one black. That way I can have a variety.  Should I get them lettuce from the grocery store or is there something else I should feed them?

[Speaker 1] they like lettuce and lots of other fruits and veggies. but they also need rabbit pellets to eat. you should do some research on rabbit care before you come pick them up!

[Speaker 2] I'll do that!  You know, I am kind of excited about getting them! I've been wanting a pet rabbit for a while now!  I watch videos of pet rabbits on You Tube and they are so cute!

[Speaker 1] they make great pets! and you can litter box train them too!

[Speaker 2] I didn't know that!  Is it hard to train them?  Having them freely about the house could be fun!

[Speaker 1] it's not hard. definitely look up training tips though. they love to be a part of the family.

[Speaker 2] Awww!  Then they will be a part of my family for sure!  Speaking of, you are not going to eat yours again are you?

I dream of opening a bunny daycare because I love bunnies so much. I used to own bunnies, but I ate them. I know people think eating rabbits is weird but I think it's the same as cows or chickens.

I am still going to school.

[Speaker 1] How do you like your new bunnies?

[Speaker 2] I just got them.  They are so cute.  I really can't imagine eating them, but I'm the same way about deer.  I know lots of people eat deer meat.  What made you eat the bunnies?  Were they pets or did you have them specifically to eat?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I had them specifically to eat but now I just have them as pets. Did you name yours?

[Speaker 2] I haven't named them yet.  I want to name them something cute.  Any ideas?

[Speaker 1] Did you get two of them? Hmm..what color are they? That may help you decide what to name them.

[Speaker 2] One is white and one is black....

[Speaker 1] You could name the white one Snowball or Marshmallow. I will have to think on some more names and let you know what I come up with. Have you figured out how to litter box train them yet?

[Speaker 2] I've read up on it a little bit, but that's as far as I've gotten.  Is it very hard to do?

[Speaker 1] It's not hard but it does take time and a lot of repetition. There are a lot of great resources out there that will help you with training!

[Speaker 2] Have you named your bunnies yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have. Their names are Cinnamon, Cocoa, Oreo, Hopper and Whiskers. It was hard coming up with names for five of them!

[Speaker 2] Oh, I love those names! So cute.  I may have to steal one or two of those names....lol.  So...did you like being in the Navy?

My friend is giving away their bunnies. I just got two black bunnies, two fawn bunnies, and a lilac bunny. I've litter box trained my bunnies. I am knowledgeable about raising rabbits. I like animals.

I am still going to school.

I watch videos of pet rabbits on Youtube. I didn't know how to litter box train bunnies. I have two rabbits. I am trying to litter box train my rabbits.

I am against eating venison and rabbit.

[Speaker 1] Have you figured out names for the bunnies yet? I was thinking more on it and maybe you could call them yin and yang since one is black and one is white. I found a couple of great resources on litter box training that I'm going to send to you that should be a great help.

[Speaker 2] Those are clever ideas -- I like Yin and Yang. I was thinking of Chocolate and Vanilla but eh, I'm not sold on anything just yet. I think I need to get to know them better first. I'll take whatever tips you have on the litter training!

[Speaker 1] Definitely I'll send it on over! My favorite part of getting new animals is giving them names! It is so much fun!

[Speaker 2] Totally. It's kind of like having a kid, in a way. How are your new bunnies adjusting? Did you settle on names for them yet?

[Speaker 1] It's a lot to think of five new bunny names! I think I'm going to have my kids name them!

[Speaker 2] They'll love that, I bet. They'll probably also be more willing to help take care of them if they get to name them. That's a plus.

[Speaker 1] Lol yes you're right! They're usually pretty good at helping with chores and such so it should be no issue!

[Speaker 2] Cool. I meant to ask earlier, but how big of a cage do you use for your bunnies?

[Speaker 1] I just got three new hutches! I have to keep the boys and girls separated so that there won't be any babies!

[Speaker 2] Oh right, that makes sense. They ARE rabbits, after all. Did you put the hutches in your yard next to the barn?

[Speaker 1] They are inside of the barn so that when it is cold and rainy they have extra protection! Where are you planning on putting your rabbits?

[Speaker 2] Good call. Well, right now they have free reign of the house, but that's not working out for me at all. I was thinking of putting them out in the workshop out back. But I'm not sure yet.

[Speaker 1] Oh well I am in high school but I know what I want to do

[Speaker 2] What do you want to do?

[Speaker 1] I want to be a physical therapist

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good job. I'm the manager at the store that I work at.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I try to make all straight as so I can achieve my goa

[Speaker 2] Great! Do you like taylor swift? I met her once.

[Speaker 1] Yeah she is cool. She seems nice and her songs are catchy

[Speaker 2] I have her latest album in my car. I have a nissan.

I am trying to get straight As.

I find Taylor Swift songs catchy.

I work at a convenience store.
I am a store manager.
I once met Taylor Swift.
I drive a Nissan.

[Speaker 1] Where did you meet Taylor Swift, was it at your convenience store?

[Speaker 2] Exactly, she was buying so many candy bars and she put one in her coat pocket.

[Speaker 1] Really, like she stole it? That doesn't seem like something she would do!

[Speaker 2] Well I asked her about it, if she'd steal it and she pretended not to hear me

[Speaker 1] That's so strange, she must have been having an off day. I know you are a huge fan of hers. What is your favorite Taylor Swift album?

[Speaker 2] It's probably 1989, how about you? What's yours?

[Speaker 1] I would say 1989 as well, every song on that album is amazing. I also like Folklore, it's very different from what she has done before.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they're all great honestly. She's so talented.

[Speaker 1] Yes, did you see that she is re-recording all of her old albums? Plus, releasing unheard songs from the vault. I am pretty excited to hear all of those.

[Speaker 2] She's working a lot. That's so cool to be honest. She's great.

[Speaker 1] Yes I agree. What other artists do you like?

[Speaker 2] I really like NWA. Do you?

I am training for a 5k run.

I am in high school. I am trying to get straight As. I want to be a physical therapist.

I drive a Nissan.

I really like NWA.

[Speaker 1] How is working at the convenience store going?  Do you like being a manager?

[Speaker 2] Yes. It is so nice to be the boss! Plus I can play Taylor Swift music.

[Speaker 1] Haha, that is awesome. I dont know if I will ever find a job that lets me do that. It would be like the best job ever.

[Speaker 2] I know you like her too. What other singers do you like?

[Speaker 1] A lot really. Pink, Avril Lavigne, The Pretty Wreckless, The Band Perry, Eminem, Katy Perry, Ava Max.... I really like a lot of music. Even classic rock.. Like the Eagles, Dr Hook, David Essex, Guns and Roses and Queen.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That is a lot. I also like other types of music. I like to meet them.

[Speaker 1] I met Tracy Lawrence a couple years ago, he came to speak to my high school. I am not really into his music, but it was cool.

[Speaker 2] That does sound nice. I can't travel too far because my Nissan is old.

[Speaker 1] I don't have my license yet so I have to catch rides. So I totallly get that lol.

[Speaker 2] I need to get a new car. What type of car do you want?

[Speaker 1] I want an old marquis or crown vic. I like big body older vehicles made with real metal, not the fiberglass crap they have now. I love old cars

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could run where you are going. IYour traing should help.

I am training for a 5k run.

I met Tracy Lawrence.

I work at a convenience store. I am a store manager and I enjoy it.

I drive a Nissan.

I really like NWA.

I own an old Nissan. I need a new car.

[Speaker 1] I am going to get my license!

[Speaker 2] That is so exciting! Are you going to get a new car as well? And by new car I mean, an old car that you love.

[Speaker 1] I guess it depends what my parents say. You're so lucky you're a grown up and don't have to ask for like literally everything.

[Speaker 2] It is not as fun as it seems, the grass is always greener on the other side! Will your parents at least allow you to drive their car?

[Speaker 1] Oh, definitely! Have you thought any more about getting a new(er) car? Maybe we can help each other shop!

[Speaker 2] I would love to, but I don't know if I can afford it right now. You will have to give me a ride in your new car! We can go for drives and blast Taylor Swift.

[Speaker 1] That makes me feel like I want a convertible, and I've never said that before! Now that I actually have my license, I may be reconsidering the big body style. I'm a little nervous to drive a big car so soon.

[Speaker 2] You will do great! It takes getting used to but eventually you drive like you have been doing it all your life. Now the question is what song shall we sing at the top of our lungs? My vote is for August.

[Speaker 1] Maybe we can throw it back a lot and do Our Song. I love to sing it in the car with the windows down!

[Speaker 2] Who are we kidding, we will sing all the songs! We can also go to a drive through and get some ice cream, or go to a drive in movie! Or drive to the beach! The possibilities are endless.

[Speaker 1] That really is an amazing thought! Cars are truly amazing things. Imagine the covered wagon days when it took a week to get absolutely anywhere. Now we can just drive 'til we hit mountains or ocean! Which do you prefer?

[Speaker 2] I know, right?! I think I prefer the ocean. Nothing beats the smell of the salt air. Which do you prefer?

I am training for a 5k run.

I find Taylor Swift songs catchy. My favorite Taylor Swift album is 1989.  I also like her album, Folklore. I like music by Pink, Avril Lavigne, The Pretty Wreckless, The Bank Perry, Eminem, Katy Pery, Ava Max, Eagles, Dr Hook, David Essex, Guns and Roses, and Queen. I like the song Our Song.

I met Tracy Lawrence.

I don't have my license. I love big body old cars. I am getting my license.

Getting a car depends on my parents. My parents will let me drive their car. I might want a convertible. I am nervous to drive a big car.

I drive a Nissan.

I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift. My favorite album is 1989. I once met Taylor Swift. I like meeting musicians. I like the song August.

I really like NWA.

I own an old Nissan. I need a new car.

I like to shop. I might not be able to afford it right now.

I like the ocean and salt air.

[Speaker 1] I have taken all of the practice tests for my license.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! How did you do? Do you feel prepared?

[Speaker 1] Sort of. I'm pretty good on the practice tests, but I get nervous when it comes to doing it for real.

[Speaker 2] Have you been able to practice driving in your parents' car? That is the nerve-racking part of the exam, but I am sure you will go great. I better start practicing my vocals! Haha!

[Speaker 1] A little bit. I have to get my permit first. That only requires me to pass the written test. But even that makes me nervous. Then I'll have 6 months to practice driving with my parents before I have to take the driving part of the test.

[Speaker 2] Oh, you will ace the permit test. I have no doubt! Have you discussed getting your own car with your parents more? I bet you can find your style for pretty cheap! Just need to make sure it runs well.

[Speaker 1] Thanks. I think having 6 months driving experience will help a great deal. Yeah, my dad is going to help me pick out a reliable car. I'd like a convertible, but they're not very cheap. I may have to wait on that. How about you? What kind of car are you looking for?

[Speaker 2] Haha I kinda want a convertible now too, but it is not in the cards for me. The Nissan keeps chugging along. Thank goodness!

[Speaker 1] So Nissans are reliable? My dad is leaning towards a Honda, maybe a Civic or smaller car like that.

[Speaker 2] I don't know. It gets me to and from work, but I still don't trust it for long trips.

[Speaker 1] Is that because of the brand or the age of the car?

[Speaker 2] Age for sure. At least it will still play my old CDs hahaha


My favorite band is the who.

I work for our local supermarket.

My favorite food is pizza with black olives.

I've never been out of ohio.

I've a cat named spook.

I do not pick up my toys.
I've a pet turtle.
I'm four.
My best friend lives next door.

I enjoy rock music.

I'm a cashier.

I'm afraid of traveling.

I am a pet owner.

I leave my playpen unclean.
I've an aquatic animal.
I am under 5 years old.
I hang out with my bff a lot.

[Speaker 1] Hi, my name is kate and I'm from ohio.

[Speaker 2] Hello miss! I m ben and I m grounded for not picking up my toys

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. Do you like pizza?

[Speaker 2] When mommy orders it. What do you like on your pizza?

[Speaker 1] It is my favorite food. I really like it with black olives on it. You?

[Speaker 2] I like the red stuff underneath the cheese! How old are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm thirty years old and I work at a supermarket in my town.

[Speaker 2] Is that where my parents pick up the food?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure if it is the same one.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I have a cat. His name is spook. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I have a turtle. I named him leo

[Speaker 1] That's cool. How did you get a turtle?

[Speaker 2] My best friend got it for me. He lives across he street

[Speaker 1] That was sweet of him. Do you like music?

[Speaker 2] I like what barney sings!

[Speaker 1] You may not know them, but the who is a great band!

[Speaker 2] Daddy listens to them all the time!

I'm Kate from Ohio.

Pizza is my favorite food and I like it with black olives.

I'm 30 years old and work at a supermarket in town.

I have a cat named Spook.

I'm Ben. I'm grounded because I didn't pick up my toys.

I enjoy pizza when my mother orders it. I like tomato sauce on pizza.

I have a turtle named Leo that I got from my best friend living across the street.

I like what Barney sings.

[Speaker 1] While googling some songs that Barney sings, I found that there are so many and even hour length Barney song compilation videos on Youtube. Amazing!

[Speaker 2] I like watching videos a lot. I can always watch cartoons and Barney without asking. I want to see it!

[Speaker 1] I can send the links to your mom so she can make sure they are okay first. but that's pretty cool that you can watch barney whenever you want to.

[Speaker 2] Okay, she told me I can decide what I watch now. So I can be my own boss now. I also want to watch the movie Pet Cemetery, like my neighbor friend.

[Speaker 1] I'm just going to take a guess that if you are someone who likes Barney, you probably are not going to like watching pet cemetery. I'll still send the videos to your mom and she can decide if you can watch them.

[Speaker 2] Well, sometimes my mom is too strict and she doesnt let me watch what my friends watch. I dont think its fair and was thinking about sneaking to watch the pet movie. Since it has the word pet in it I should get to watch it.

[Speaker 1] I think your mom is just strict because she knows about more things than you do. You should probably listen to her.

[Speaker 2] I do listen to her. She tells me when dinner is ready and when its pizza I run as fast as I can to the table. I like to listen sometimes.

[Speaker 1] that's a good start, but it's easy to listen when it's something you want to do anyways.

[Speaker 2] Ya, it is really easy to listen when she makes me pizza. Its easy to listen when she lets me do what I want to do.

[Speaker 1] You should try listening when it's something you don't want to do. I bet they teach that on Barney.

[Speaker 2] I know that Barney always says to clean up your toys and be nice to your friends. I think he wasn't talking about my mom though. I am not sure?

I'm Kate from Ohio.

I have a cat named Spook.

I like what Barney sings. I like watching videos, including videos of cartoons and Barney.

I am friends with my neighbor.

I listen to my mother sometimes.

[Speaker 1] My cat Spook did something really funny and I want to tell you about it.

[Speaker 2] LOL what did Spook do? Did he spook you?

[Speaker 1] He has been doing this thing where he taps his food bowl on the floor repeatedly when he wants to eat. It's so cute and so funny. I'm going to try to get it on video.

[Speaker 2] Haha can you send my mommy the video? Cat is my favourite animal but daddy says no cat.  What is your favourite animal?

[Speaker 1] I love cats and dogs equally. They are both great pets to have! Why does your dad say no?

[Speaker 2] He says they're naughty and that they will scratch me. I had a doggy named Rex but he died last year.

[Speaker 1] Poor doggy. If you don't mind, what happened to him? Was he just old?

[Speaker 2] Mommy said he was old and went to heaven because of that. How old is your kitty?

I'm Kate from Ohio.

I have a cat named Spook. I think my cat is cute and funny.

Cats and dogs are both my favorite animals.

I listen to my mother sometimes.

[Speaker 1] My cat has been acting so funny today! Its like she's on a sugar high, but I didn't give her anything out of her ordinary diet.

[Speaker 2] Maybe someone has been sneaker her candy.

[Speaker 1] That's a good point and very possible. Have you ever given your turtle sugar?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but he doesn't like it. Mom and Dad said I shouldn't have given Rex chocolate. He liked it though.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, your dog can get sick if you give it chocolate. My cat likes gummy worms but they are not good for him.

[Speaker 2] Maybe she'd like real worms!

[Speaker 1] Maybe so, but I'm not sure. I named Spook after a ghost. Where did you get the name Rex?

[Speaker 2] He was born before I was.  Dad said it was because he looked like a dinosaur.

[Speaker 1] That much be a strange looking dog. I love dogs. Do you like cats or just dogs and turtles?

[Speaker 2] I like cats a lot!  But I still can't get them to let me have one.  They think I'll feed it chocolate.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like you might need to leave so you can follow your dreams. I bet you would take very good care of a cat!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I can run away to grandma's house! I bet she'd let me have a cat!  I'm not sure my turtle can walk that far though.

I'm Kate from Ohio.

I have a cat named Spook. I named it after a ghost. I think my cat is cute and funny.

I listen to my mother sometimes.

Cats are my favorite animal. I am a child. I want a cat, but my dad says no. I had a dog named Rex, but he died last year. Rex was an old dog. My dog was born before I was.

I have a grandma.

[Speaker 1] My cat is still acting funny but I think it is getting tired now.

[Speaker 2] Poor Spook! Is something wrong with him? Or is he just being a goofy boy?

[Speaker 1] Just running around like a mad thing still! No clue how she has any energy left at all. Glad it seems she is finally tuckering herself out.

[Speaker 2] LOL I always thought Spook was a boy! I wish I could get a cat, but right now I don't think I should be asking mom and dad. I think they are still mad at me.

[Speaker 1] About the chocolate? Haven't they given you enough grief about it? Do you want me to talk to them?

[Speaker 2] No. Not the chocolate. I didn't pick up my toys when they told me to, so I'm grounded. I can't watch cartoons or anything. And I only get to use the computer for an hour a day. I have just been playing with Leo lol.

[Speaker 1] Why didn't you pick up the toys? Wouldn't that have helped your parents out and helped you avoid being grounded?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I don't know. I guess I just got distracted watching cartoons and forget. I get lost when I watch Barney sometimes. You know how I am. I think I'll be ungrounded soon if I'm good. They can't be too mad cuz I think they're ordering pizza.

[Speaker 1] Do you think they would order pizza just for you

[Speaker 2] It's not just for me silly. They want to eat dinner too, I'm sure. I just think mom doesn't feel like cooking tonight. She has been really busy with work.

[Speaker 1] Ok, that is what I meant. I was curious about what your view of the world was and how self-centered it is. Not as an insult. Purely scientific. Spook is telling me what to say now.

[Speaker 2] I dunno much about that stuff lol. I'm just a kid. But I guess the world is pretty cool. It's big. I wanna travel when I get older and make Youtube videos maybe!


I am a middle aged man.

I treasure my free time.

I spend my day talking to people.

My spouse has an extreme shopping habit.

Tony hawk is my idol.

I like extreme sports.

I like my head covered to hide my bald spots.

My peeps are all skaters.

I've a cast because I shattered my femur.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I don't like working as a car salesman.

[Speaker 2] I recently broke my arm so I'm not working

[Speaker 1] What happened? It is hard to do anything with a broken arm.

[Speaker 2] I blame my skateboarding friends

[Speaker 1] Do you think 40 is too old to go back to school?

[Speaker 2] Yes, you should retire and learn to knit

[Speaker 1] No money. Once I get paid my wife goes shopping. Never get married.

[Speaker 2] Good advise, thank you for that

[Speaker 1] Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] I try to avoid working at all

[Speaker 1] It is hard for me. I don't like telling people to buy something.

[Speaker 2] I just want to live free

[Speaker 1] Nothing is free. Unless you win the lottery.

[Speaker 2] It could happen one day

[Speaker 1] Are you married or are you at home with your parents?

[Speaker 2] Anything is possible right?


I am a swim coach at my local pool.

My favorite music genre is death metal.

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

My family and I are from india.

I'm studying to be a computer programmer.

I was forced to marry when I was a.
My aunt helped me escape when I was of.
I was born in somalia.
Now I live in the united states.

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

I had an arranged marriage.
I was saved by a relative.
I am an immigrant.
I reside in california.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I am taking a break from studying my computer programming

[Speaker 2] What is computer programming, I am new to the united states.

[Speaker 1] I'm from india so I understand. It is telling computers how to run programs

[Speaker 2] Cool, I was born in somalia, but my aunt helped me escape.

[Speaker 1] That was nice of her! My aunt taught me how to swim

[Speaker 2] I had to get away, I was forced to marry young, but now I am happy

[Speaker 1] Did you take your spouse with you?

[Speaker 2] No, I had to escape him. It was not fun times.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry. I am glad you are safe now

[Speaker 2] Thank you, do you do anything in your free time?

[Speaker 1] I love death metal music. I listen and write some too.

[Speaker 2] Death metal, is that the music you get whip lash from?

[Speaker 1] Yeah! I also coach competitive swimming.

[Speaker 2] Swimming is fun! Have you met any olympians?

I study computer programming.

I am from India.

I like to listen to and write death metal music.

I am new to the United States. I don't know anything about computer programming.

I was born in Somalia. I escaped Somalia with my aunt's help because I was forced to marry young. I have escaped my forced spouse.

I like swimming.

[Speaker 1] What has been one of the most surprising things you've experienced since coming to America?

[Speaker 2] I have enjoyed the simple things like going to the grocery store and being able to see all the fresh fruits and vegetables in perfect rows. I also like being able to go to church and be free to take a bible everywhere I go.

[Speaker 1] It really is the little things, I understand that. You were not able to do those things in Somalia?

[Speaker 2] I wasn't allowed to go anywhere without my abusive husband. He never went to church and he didn't believe in God or anything like that. He mostly made me clean and stay home to cook.

[Speaker 1] I am so sorry to hear you went through that. I am glad you are safe now and free to be yourself. Do you have any dreams or goals you are working towards now that you are living in the US?

[Speaker 2] Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I would like to study and get some sort of degree. I really like helping others so I need to find a job that is serving others. I am open to ideas.

[Speaker 1] That is a great quality to have. Maybe you could look into social work or nursing?

[Speaker 2] Hey, thats what I was thinking about too. I used to help people who would get hurt and I would bandage up the local kids wounds. I want to look into nursing. Do you ever miss your country?

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea to get into something you are passionate about. I do miss India sometimes, but I have a lot of family and friends who also moved to America, so spending time with them is like being back home.

[Speaker 2] That is nice and comforting for you. I noticed that when I spend time with my aunt I also feel a sense of home and become less homesick for my country. I don't want to go back there but also get sad and miss it sometimes, it's confusing.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I know the feeling. Life is so great here, but there are always comforts of home that will be missed. Will any of your family be looking to come over to live or visit?

[Speaker 2] I think my sister will be visiting me soon and I am really excited about that. We want to visit Disneyland, if we can afford it!

I study computer programming.

I am originally from India. I currently live in America. I have friends and family members that moved to America as well.

I like swimming.

I go to church.

I used to take care of children and locals who were hurt while residing in Somalia.

[Speaker 1] While swimming in a local competition, I was able to connect with a fellow competitor who was happened to be a nursing instructor at a local college.  Would you want me to facilitate a meeting between you and this instructor to explore nursing as a potential degree path for you?

[Speaker 2] that sounds great. thank you so much for thinking of me.

[Speaker 1] No problem, I am glad I could help. Is there a certain aspect of nursing you are interested in?

[Speaker 2] I just want to help other people and think nursing is the way to do that.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, I will set it up. I think you would be great at that. How is your family doing?

[Speaker 2] they are doing okay. I've been trying to figure out how to get my sister to the united states though.

[Speaker 1] That would be a tough process. I hope you are able to get them over here. How has your transition to this country been?

[Speaker 2] it's been an adjustment with the culture shock. but it's been good to be here.

[Speaker 1] I bet. What is your favorite part about the country so far? I hope the people have been nice.

[Speaker 2] it's so hard to pick just one thing. but I think the big selection of different foods has been fun.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever considered doing catering with Somalian food? I bet people would love that.

[Speaker 2] that's a great idea. I'd have to get better at cooking first though. maybe I can teach one of my friends my family recipes.

I study computer programming.

My aunt taught me to swim. I coach competitive swimming. I am a competitive swimmer.

I have an aunt living in America that is also originally from Somalia. I have a sister that still lives in Somalia. I was born in Somalia. I escaped Somalia with my aunt's help because I was forced to marry young to an abusive husband. I was forced to stay at home as a homemaker while in Somalia.

I like swimming.

I go to church.

I do not currently have a degree. I do not have a job that serves others. I am interested in nursing as a career path. Nursing interests me because I want to help others.

I have recently immigrated to the United States. I enjoy the selection of different foods in the US.

[Speaker 1] I find it very admirable that you decided to take the leap to come to the US.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I am just grateful to get away from my problems in Somalia to be honest. It is great to have the opportunity for a fresh start.  What have you been up to this week?

[Speaker 1] I am studying for my final exams in programming. It is tough since I have still to coach my team and train for a swimming competition. And you, what have you done lately ?

[Speaker 2] Right, I hope they go well for you! I can imagine the struggle! I have been practising my cooking, getting a bit better at it now...

[Speaker 1] Start with easy recipes like pancakes and apple crumble. Then, keep learn recipes it gets easier with time.

[Speaker 2] Good idea! I love crumbles

[Speaker 1] Then, you try recipe with sauces,  soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, even ketchup. They are easy but they taste fancy.

[Speaker 2] Interesting! What is your favourite recipie?

[Speaker 1] I like Chinese recipes. twice cooked pork is one of my favorite. It requires to boil the pork before stir-fry it, it has doubanjiang sauce, which is a spicy flagrant sauce.

I study computer programming.

I like Chinese recipes. I like twice cooked pork.

I like swimming.

I go to church.

I am not great at cooking but my family cooks traditional recipes. I have been practicing cooking. I love crumbles.

[Speaker 1] What did you cook yesterday?

[Speaker 2] I tried out a new recipe for pot pie. Do you cook a lot?

[Speaker 1] When I have the free time, it is a favorite thing to do. Helps me de stress after a lot of work. You too?

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to get better. Do you make a lot of traditional Indian food? Or do you try to do more American foods.

[Speaker 1] There are many places to take recipes from. Chinese recipes lately have been curious to me, although you need to buy different spices. What's your fave?

[Speaker 2] My favorite spice? I have a whole pantry full. I don't know if I could choose one.

[Speaker 1] Spice, although I was thinking type of cuisine you like the most. For example Chinese is a fave for me.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I've been experiencing so many new foods in America. It may sound weird but right now I am really into German foods

[Speaker 1] How about that? They have a few pastries and beers I like. Especially the darker beers, with higher alcohol percentages.

[Speaker 2] I enjoy Spaetzle and Schnitzel. I haven't quite gotten into beer yet. I bet they have great desserts though. What is your favorite pastry?

[Speaker 1] I am not up on the german foods, but I've had this deep fried dough, with a strawberry jam or sauce dropped on the top, with whipped cream.

[Speaker 2] I bet with all your swimming you can eat all you want without gaining any weight.

[Speaker 1] Well I know I am strong for a 100 but I don't think I can do that

[Speaker 2] 100?! That's older then my dad! Would you make your son milk cows?

[Speaker 1] Yea because I sure can't do it

[Speaker 2] I would rather be coloring in my books! Do you like sports?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have love baseball all my life

[Speaker 2] I like to watch hockey with my dad. Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 1] Yes 8 kids 24 grandkids and counting

[Speaker 2] Wow! I can not even count that high! I have a pet though. Do you?

[Speaker 1] No but I should I heard they're great companions

[Speaker 2] Dad got me a german sheperd to help on the farm. Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] In california but I want to move to france

[Speaker 2] France is a long ways away! Will you drive there?

[Speaker 1] No way I'd die on the way il fly there

[Speaker 2] Do they let people as old as you on planes, mister?

I am 100 years old.

I like baseball.

I have 8 kids and 24 grandkids. I have a son.

I do not have a pet.

I live in California. I want to move to France. I plan to fly to France.

I milk cows.

My dad is younger than 100 years old.

I like coloring books.

I like to watch hockey with my dad.

I have a pet. I live on a farm. My dad got my a German sheperd to help on the farm.

[Speaker 1] I'm visiting a shelter later today to possibly pick out a cat.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! Do you already know which one are you looking for or are you going to decide on the spot?

[Speaker 1] Well, I am looking for one that is really calm and one that will let me hold it. I am hoping to know the minute I see it. I am open to gettin any kind female or male would work for me.

[Speaker 2] I remember my dad picking our sheperd, it was so hard. When you see a lot of cute animals and every single one wants to be adopted, it's hard to pick just one.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that is a pretty good point. What if end up getting two? I sure hope I can decide on just one. I dont want to trip on an indoor pet so that is my main concern too.

[Speaker 2] Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine :) Are you going there by yourself or with someone to help you?

[Speaker 1] I have a home health nurse who drives me places and helps me get around. She is really kind and is patient with me when I am movin slow. I was wondering if your dad still has his dog?

[Speaker 2] That's good, I'm glad that she will be there to help! He doesn't have him, I have him :) He got it for me as a birthday present. And I'm really grateful for that, best present ever!

[Speaker 1] Dang, that is a good deal there. I am happy for you! It is nice to have somebody to take care of and to care about. When you hit my age someday, you'll find out a lot of people that you know pass away and it can get lonely.

[Speaker 2] Well, that's just how life goes I guess, nothing we can do about it. I'm sure you had a lot of fun in your younger years, so there's no use to get sad now :) A cat is a great idea though, it will definitely help with the loneliness!

[Speaker 1] Oh, boy, you got that right! I was lightening fast and a very hard worker but liked fishing more. I have some fish stories that would knock your socks off.

[Speaker 2] Haha I sure as hell would like to hear them! A bit later though, gotta run for now, have something to take care of in the garden. I hope you will pick the best cat they have, good luck :)

I am 100 years old.

I like baseball.

I have medical issues that require a home health nurse to help me move around.

I used to like to fish and worked hard.

I milk cows.

My dad is younger than 100 years old.

I like coloring books.

I like to watch hockey with my dad.

I do some work in the garden.

[Speaker 1] How is your garden coming along?

[Speaker 2] It's coming along fine!  Everything is growing right on schedule.  All of this rain we have been getting lately has been great for it and it keeps me from having to spend time watering!

[Speaker 1] That is really great! What kind of plants are you growing?

[Speaker 2] I am growing tomatoes, yellow squash, okra, and bell peppers.  With summer fast approaching having some fresh vegetables around will make meals light and easy!  Hey, I can fed ex you some if you want when they are ready.

[Speaker 1] That would be great, are you sure it wouldn't cost too much? Do you preserve any of your vegetables?

[Speaker 2] No, don't worry about cost. I'll be glad to do it!  I do make salsa and jar it.  I get some cilantro, jalepeno, and onions from a neighbor in trade for some of my okray and squash.  Do you want me to send you a couple of jars?

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome! I love homemade salsa, it always tastes better than store bought. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 2] He's fitting in and learning the ropes perfectly!  You know, he's really going to be a big help around here.  Have you gotten a cat yet?

[Speaker 1] I am still looking. I have been checking out the local shelters to see if there's a rescue I can adopt.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful idea!  There's always a ton of cats and kittens at the shelters.  Are you looking for something specific?

[Speaker 1] No, just one that seems to fit me. I think that if I see the one, I'll know. I just need to get out and start looking. Have you been able to train your dog?

[Speaker 2] I'm working on it.  The main thing is to get him used to the cows and know how to handle them if necessary.

I am 100 years old.

I like baseball.

I do not have a pet. I want a pet cat that doesn't trip me. I want to adopt a rescue cat.

I used to like to fish and worked hard. I love homemade salsa.

I milk cows.

My dad is younger than 100 years old.

I like coloring books.

I like to watch hockey with my dad.

I live on a farm. My dad got me a German sheperd to help on the farm as a birthday present. I'm training my dog. I have cows.

I make fresh salsa and jar it.

[Speaker 1] I found a rescue cat that I adopted.

[Speaker 2] Aww, that is great that you decided to adopt it. Did you name it yet?

[Speaker 1] I've named her Fish! I went with my son to go fishing for an hour and we did not find anything. Just as we were heading back, this little cat appeared with a small fish!

[Speaker 2] What a great story, I am happy you gave Fish a home! Has she been adapting well to being home with you?

[Speaker 1] She is the cutest little cat ever. She has stayed mostly by my side these past few days and has been a great joy to have around. I hope I live long to care for her.

[Speaker 2] I hope so too! Have you made any plans to move to France?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure I want to anymore. I'm too old to travel and here is where family is and Fish now! Do you plan to stay on a farm forwever?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I did have dreams of moving when I was younger but as I get older I realized I wanted to be around family and help out on the family farm that I will someday take over when my dad retires.

[Speaker 1] You are a very hard worker and I know your dad will be especially proud of you for taking over! You'll always have food to eat as well

[Speaker 2] That is true, my mom is helping me to learn how to cook and store a lot of the things from the garden. I am thinking about opening a stand at the farmers market to sell all of the vegetables I am growing.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea, I would love to be your first customer! I will bring Fish along and my nurse. Hopefully it will be very close by.

[Speaker 2] That would be great, I plan to join the local farmer's market so it will be very close. I will bring some of my homemade salsa just for you!

I am 100 years old.

I like baseball.

I just adopted a rescue cat. We go fishing. We named the cat fish.

My cat stays by my side.

I am old. I don't think I want to move.

I have a nurse. I would love to buy vegetables.

I milk cows.

My dad is younger than 100 years old.

I like coloring books.

I like to watch hockey with my dad.

I live on a family farm. My dad got me a German sheperd to help on the farm as a birthday present. I'm training my dog. I have cows.

I do some work in the garden. I am growing tomatoes, yellow squash, okra, and bell peppers. I make fresh salsa and jar it.

I want to stay on the family farm. I dreamed of moving when I was young. My dad runs the farm.

I cook with my mom. I might start a vegetable stand. I will join the farmer's market nearby.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any fresh batches of salsa ready?

[Speaker 2] Just finished jarring some actually! And LITERALLY wrote your name on one. Do you want more than that?

[Speaker 1] I'll take 2 to start, and that way you can share with everyone. I appreciate you thinking of me. Need help with anything?

[Speaker 2] Do you have any decorative baskets? If not, just some plain ol' functional ones? I want my stand to look great, but I did not think of what that involved!

[Speaker 1] That's a good question. Don't have any off hand but maybe could go shopping with you when you're on the next trek.

[Speaker 2] I don't want you to have to do all of that. I know it is tough to get around. I will allow you to come to the booth and get your salsas though. Mainly because I think you will be so proud.

[Speaker 1] We have a few options, and maybe I'll share when I'm proud of this or that. People assume things sometimes when  you are disabled. We can try, I like fresh salsa.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry. I did not mean to offend you. I was only asking about baskets if you already had them. I am going to ask some other friends too, so it isn't something I was going to go out to buy anyway.

[Speaker 1] I hear you, and it's good to adjust sometimes with new information. Are there ways you're growing, that you want to improve in?

[Speaker 2] Well, you just opened my mind up so much in this one second, that I must say yes: tons of ways I want to improve. I want to be kind and thoughtful, but I certainly don't want to make people feel like I think I know what is best for them. Kind is not always good, I guess.

[Speaker 1] Your feelings make sense. I appreciate you sharing that. I think your salsa will taste great.

[Speaker 2] Do you want to try my spicy variety?


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

I am a cancer survivor.

I love running and preparing for marathons.

My parents were both very athletic.

I'm a clean eater.

I live in alaska.

I quit my job to pursue my spirituality full time.

I am a buddhist.

I have not spoken in three months.

I like meditation.

I recently started a position helping others with daily challenges.

I used to be very unhealthy.

I enjoy sprinting and long races.

I was raised in an active family.

I care about healthy eating.

My home borders canada and the bering sea.

I left my previous employment to dedicate my life to religion.

I believe in karma.

I'm temporarily mute.

I do yoga to relax.

[Speaker 1] What do you do in your spare time?

[Speaker 2] I recently quit my job, moved in to monastery to pursue my spirituality.

[Speaker 1] That's incredibly brilliant. Congratulations

[Speaker 2] I appreciate that. Are you a spiritual person, may I ask?

[Speaker 1] Yes I am actually. I became very close to god after surviving cancer

[Speaker 2] You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[Speaker 1] You are as well. An inspiration. I must remember you when training my clients

[Speaker 2] What is it that you do?

[Speaker 1] I actually just started as a life coach

[Speaker 2] Peace be with you as you embark on your new journey

[Speaker 1] Thank you. That means a lot to me

[Speaker 2] Live in he wilderness of alaska now, we don't have many life coaches here.

[Speaker 1] It is very much needed. People need guidance

[Speaker 2] I agree fully. Do you believe in meditation? My meditation time has brought me much peace

[Speaker 1] I meditate right before I run a big marathon and it helps me keep my stamina.

[Speaker 2] Good for you! I've never ran a marathon, but I certainly admire your determination!

I've become a spiritual person after surviving cancer. I meditate before I run a marathon as it helps me keep my stamina.

I've just become a life coach.

Lately I quit my job and got into a monastery for spiritual growth.

I live in Alaska and we don't have many life coaches here.

I meditate and it gives me a sense of peace.

I've never run a marathon.

[Speaker 1] I searched how many life coaches were in Alaska and found you truly were correct. There weren't many life coaches in your area.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, there's not much of anything in Alaska! That's why it's easy to meditate :)

[Speaker 1] How do you find information about meditation ? Do you there is a market for life/meditation coaches in Alaska ?

[Speaker 2] Bookstores mostly...and my brothers in the moastery that have a lifetime of experience. They are a huge help!

[Speaker 1] Maybe I could get there and work as a meditation coach, most people didn't go in monastery. How much someone in Alaska would pay for a meditation coach ?

[Speaker 2] To be honest, I'm not sure what the going rate for a life/meditation coach is out here. It's certainly worth a try if it's something you're passionate about.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I like meditation and I want to share this technique with others. No matter the pay. What do you do for a living ?

[Speaker 2] Right now I don't work. I quit my job to go into the monastery a while ago and haven't found the need for a job as I get my basic neccessities taken care of here. So being a cancer survivor...wow! I'm SO happy for you! That's a scary thing to go through.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, even if the doctors told me it was a small cancer, I could not stop think about it. That is why I did learn about meditation in the first place. What event made you want to study meditation ?

[Speaker 2] Cancer as well...a close family member was diagnosed in 2006. Thank God she has been in remission for about 14 years now, but the C word is scary, no matter what type or size.

[Speaker 1] It is something that you can't describe, I would not wish it to my worst enemy.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely...it was one of the worst times of my life. So what's your favorite marathon that youi've run?

I've just become a life coach. I am considering working as a meditation coach in Alaska. I want to share my meditation technique with others, even if it doesn't pay well. I learned about meditation to help me get through my cancer.

I've never run a marathon.

My brothers are monks and help me meditate.

Lately I quit my job to join the monastery. They take care of my basic needs.

[Speaker 1] What do you think is the best region of Alaska?

[Speaker 2] I think southwestern alaska is the best! I love the Peulik Volcano there.

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of that area. What is so amazing about it? Besides the volcano of course

[Speaker 2] Well it also is one of the riches salmon areas in the world! A lot of it is only accessible by boat or small plane, so it is very wild area as well.

[Speaker 1] Salmon is my favorite food, and the oils in it is good for people with cancer or recovering from it! I bet eating it fresh is amazing. That sounds really cool. How is meditating going?

[Speaker 2] It's been going good! I have did a few 8 hour meditation sessions last month. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I am trying to see how cold effects meditation, so if I move up to Alaska, I can see about any outdoor meditation. I even went as far as trying to meditate in a walk in freezer, but I kept getting interrupted. I am trying.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that is very interesting! I don't think you have to come as far as Alaska to find cold weather! Have you thought about places like North Dakota or Maine?

[Speaker 1] Oh no, I already was thinking about going to Alaska. I just wanted to do some trials before going. I am also trying to do meditation with different oils and scents to see how they effect it. I find that peppermint and lavender are not good for meditation. One makes you want to get up and go and the other will put you to sleep haha.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I go the minimalist route when it comes to meditating, just however things are in the moment. Where do you currently live?

[Speaker 1] I live in New Mexico now, but it is not my final destination. I like to move around every six months or so to pass on some lessons and enjoy a different area. I want to see the entire world, one continent at a time.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow I have never been to New Mexico. In fact I have barely been to many other states!

I am not familiar with southwestern Alaska.

Salmon is my favorite food.

I've never run a marathon.

Southwestern Alaska is my favorite region of the state. I love the Peulik Volcano there.

I like remote, wild areas.

[Speaker 1] Ok I tried a quick meditation with lemon essential oil and it went great!

[Speaker 2] That sounds lovely, Lemon and Lavender Essential oils are the best. Although Lavender smells great and helps with more things. The smell of lemon is just sometimes what you need.

[Speaker 1] I've not had much success with lavender.  how do you feel about vanilla?

[Speaker 2] That is also one of the best smelling oils there is however it doesn't help much with healing. I usually use Vanilla if i just want to feel relaxed.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes relaxing can be the best way to begin to heal. I'm thinking of moving again.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you're right about that one. Oh really, where are you thinking about moving too?

[Speaker 1] maybe to washington state this time. have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] You really do like to move. Do you think you will ever settle down somewhere or you just like to see new places too much. I have never been there i have heard great things though.

[Speaker 1] I don't know.  As long as I keep enjoying new places I'll probably keep moving. at least until I find one place that insists I stay.

[Speaker 2] That makes a lot of sense. Where has been your best place you have lived so far?

[Speaker 1] All of them!  for different reasons of course.  I like all the adobe buildings in New Mexico, but I'm ready for someplace cooler.

[Speaker 2] Yes living in very hot places can be tough. For me though i prefer a warmer weather and just enjoy short visit to places that are cooler.

Salmon is my favorite food.

I'm trying to meditate in cold weather. I've experimented with mediation and essential oils. I don't think peppermint and lavender are good for meditation. I tried lemon essential oil.

I live in New Mexico. I move often, around every six months. I want to see the whole world. I might move to Washington state. I like all of the places I have lived. I like adobe buildings. I want to live somewhere cool.

I've never run a marathon.

I started studying meditation when a family member was diagnosed with cancer. She has been in remission for 14 years now. I meditate, sometimes for as long as 8 hours. I am a minimalist when it comes to meditating. I like lemon and lavender essential oils. I like vanilla oil to feel relaxed.

I like remote, wild areas. I have never been to New Mexico. I haven't been to many other states. I have never been to Washington. I like warm weather. I like to visit cooler places.

[Speaker 1] I researched some job openings in Washington to see what area might be good to move to.

[Speaker 2] What kind of work are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] I think I want to continue my work as a life coach. But I think I think it would be too hard to move somewhere and try to start a new business at the same time. Ideally, if I could find a way to keep traveling, and continuing to life coach around the country, I would.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. Finding new clients might be hard. Could you keep working with your current ones?

[Speaker 1] I could. I have started doing online seminars a couple times a week for people who can't make it in person, and people have really been responsive so far. It also gives me time to talk to people about different approaches on holistic medicines, meditation practices, etc.

[Speaker 2] Do you do a lot of work with oils? I am loving the new lemon essential oil I received from my order.

[Speaker 1] Yes, actually. I have tried the lemon as well, and I really liked it. I was not a big fan of peppermint. I would definitely be willing to try more. If they are effective, maybe they are something I could share with my classes.

[Speaker 2] What was it about peppermint that you don't like? What other holistic medicine do you use?

[Speaker 1] I think it was just too strong for me. It made it too hard for me to focus and meditate. I have experimented a lot with aromatherapy, as well as massage therapy. I've found both to be extremely beneficial for me as well as some others.

[Speaker 2] Not to change the subject but where did you live before New Mexico.

[Speaker 1] I've lived all over, really. But before I lived in New Mexico, I was living in Denver, Colorado. That's when I first discovered I had cancer and went into treatment.

[Speaker 2] Cancer has changed both of our lives that much can be said for it.


I faint at the sight of blood.

I have an internet addiction and spend a lot of time playing roleplaying games.

I'm squeaky clean when it comes to alcohol.

I am very excited to leave for college.

I am employed in the fast food industry.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you this fine day?

[Speaker 2] I am good! Counting the days till I can move out. And you?

[Speaker 1] I'm playing some role playing games online today. I love the internet, probably too much!

[Speaker 2] My job at burger king is taking away all of my video game time.

[Speaker 1] I work in fast food also.

[Speaker 2] My coworkers are always complaining I burn the burgers. You aren't my parents!

[Speaker 1] I tried to go to school to be a vet. I hated it!

[Speaker 2] Do you drink or do drugs?

[Speaker 1] I don't. Do you dye your hair? I do every 3 months.

[Speaker 2] Ok good. But why dye your hair? That is, like, drugs for your hair.

[Speaker 1] I love to dye it blue. Red reminds me of blood and I faint from that!

[Speaker 2] Blue!? Blue!? I hate blue! Ree!!!

[Speaker 1] What color should I dye it?

[Speaker 2] Black, like my soul. I am very depressed from working at burger king.

[Speaker 1] That's deep. I could do black. My natural hair color is blond.

[Speaker 2] Blond is perfectly fine. You should just keep it like that.

I'm playing some role playing games online. I love the Internet.

I work in fast food.

I tried to go to school to be a vet.

I dye my hair every 3 months. I love to dye it blue. My natural hair color is blond.

I move out soon.

I work for Burger King. I often burn the burgers. I am very depressed of working for Burger King.

I hate blue colour. I like blond hair.

[Speaker 1] Could you bring some burgers for my videogame party?

[Speaker 2] I mean I can, sure, but you still need to pay for them, I'm sure you understand that :)

[Speaker 1] Lol, yeah, of course. Just wanted you to grab them on the way if it's not too much of a hassle.

[Speaker 2] No problem at all! How many and which ones?

[Speaker 1] Grab a pack of 8, not too expensive, lol. I already have burger buns. Thanks again. And bring any games you want to play!

[Speaker 2] Got it. Oh I can't really think of anything to be honest. How many of your friends are going to be there?

[Speaker 1] Should be 6 or 5, so even if a few people drop out we'll be good. And have some spare burgers! Ha

[Speaker 2] Noted :) I actually have a guy working with me, Steven, he'd like to be there too. Is it ok if I'm going to take him with me?

[Speaker 1] Yeah of course, that would be awesome! Tell him to bring any games he likes too!

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I will. When are we going to play, can you remind me?

[Speaker 1] Saturday, 4pm, my place. Feel free to come whenever you want, but not before that! Lol

[Speaker 2] Great, we have to work until 4 this Saturday, so we'll join you guys an hour later. Thanks for inviting me again, I think it will be great :)

I work in fast food.

I tried to go to school to be a vet.

I am having a video game party on saturday at 4 pm at my place. I have burger buns. I'm having 5-6 people over.

I move out soon.

I hate blue colour. I like blond hair.

I'm working with a guy named Steven. I'm working till 4 this saturday.

[Speaker 1] What kind of games does Steven like?

[Speaker 2] Steven has been obsessed with Stardew Valley lately. Have you ever played that game?

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of that game do you know what it about? Maybe it would be a good game to try at the game party I am hosting.

[Speaker 2] Stardew valley has a multiplayer mode so it would be perfect for your game party. It is about farming, and you roleplay as a farmer who inherits their grandfather's farm.

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds awesome maybe I could make a menu around the game. Maybe some farm food. Do you have any suggestions of what else to have with the burgers?

[Speaker 2] Definitely parsnips and starfruit. Maybe some farm fresh eggs and demon mayonnaise to go with it. Do all 5-6 people eat meat? Maybe there should be vegetarian options if any of your friends are veggies.

[Speaker 1] Maybe some parsnips but I don't think starfruit grows locally here. Yes there are some vegans in the group probably do some Impossible Burgers. Is it true that the Impossible Burgers are really popular at Burger King?

[Speaker 2] i have heard they're very popular! something about how the impossible burger works well with burger king's flame broiled taste.

[Speaker 1] I am sure I can't cook them as well as Burger King maybe I should just get some from there. Your off at 4 on Saturday right? Do you and Steven want to come to the party?

[Speaker 2] that sounds like a lot of fun, thank you for the invite! I'll let steven know too. I can bring burgers if you can provide buns!

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing I already have the buns I got them from work we don't make burgers at my work but use buns for sandwiches. Maybe you can can help me decide which colour to dye my hair next.

[Speaker 2] I think your hair looks best the way it is, but i support you if you want a change. maybe red?

I work in fast food restaurant.

I tried to go to school to be a vet.

I have never heard of Stardew Valley.

Starfruit does not grow where I live. Some of my friends are vegan. I am not great at cooking.

I move out soon.

I hate blue colour. I like blond hair.

[Speaker 1] I would enjoy having you and Steven come to my party.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, we'll definitely be there with the burgers :) do you need us to bring anything else?

[Speaker 1] What do you like to drink ? I will buy it for you, keep your money for moving out, it can be costly.

[Speaker 2] Anything is fine, as long as it's not alcoholic. I don't drink alcohol. Thank you, that's very nice of you

[Speaker 1] That is nothing. What kind of video games do you like ? It is just to make sure that everyone will have fun at my party.

[Speaker 2] I love simulation games like The Sims. It's so fun creating characters however you want them to be

[Speaker 1] Do you play RPGs ? It looks right your alley. You decide on how to solve quests.

[Speaker 2] I don't, actually. Maybe I should give them a try, they sound fun

[Speaker 1] Yeah. But the most fun ones are very complex, you should try Disco Elysium, it is less combat oriented and the story is great.

[Speaker 2] Will you have it at your party? I'd like to try it then so you can help me if I get stuck

[Speaker 1] I will have it, it will be fun to see how you solve problems. Just to make sure, do you have any allergies ?

[Speaker 2] Okay, great! I can't wait. I'm allergic to peanuts

I work in fast food restaurant.

I tried to go to school to be a vet.

I have never heard of Stardew Valley.

I move out soon.

I hate blue colour. I like blond hair.

I do not drink alcohol.

I like simulation games. I like The sims. I don't play RPGs. I think RPGs sound like fun. I would like to try an RPG game.

I am allergic to peanuts.

[Speaker 1] I think I have decided to dye my hair pink.

[Speaker 2] Have you tried creating yourself like that as a Sim to see what kind of vibes you give out?

[Speaker 1] That was a little hard to follow there, but what i think you are saying is, did I consider going through a video game and maybe building a 3 D version to see if I like it?

[Speaker 2] That is exactly what I was trying to say. To see how the neighbors feel. You know they can be very forward.

[Speaker 1] In general, or did you have someone in mind? I think it's good to try things out, but take risks too. I remember what color you like your hair!

[Speaker 2] The Sims neighbors...they just walk over and start telling you their thoughts. Nevermind. Pink sounds nice but you know that kills your hair.e

[Speaker 1] Thank you for having faith in me. I like trying different things. Maybe you could build me that thing you're talking about, show me.

[Speaker 2] I would love to do that! I will work on it tonight. Risks are great, but this will give you an idea of what pink hair will be like.

[Speaker 1] I've tried a few wild colors, why not pink in the mix. Wonder if you'd try something other than blonde hair?

[Speaker 2] I feel like my brain is sad enough. Why add poison to its skin hat? I need to take care of my body and find happiness again.

[Speaker 1] As you wish. We sometimes find solace in places, that others do not. I hear you, and your feelings are valid, although feelings are not facts.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for validating them. But if they feel so real, they become real. You know what I mean?


I love to play board games.
My parents were also teachers.
For vacation I enjoy time at the beach.

[Speaker 2] Every year. I am lucky. Would you like to go with me?

[Speaker 1] Oh that is a sweet offer. You have to ask your parents first!

[Speaker 2] My dad will take you. He has lot of money. Where are your vacations?

[Speaker 1] I do not take many. I play board games mostly... Teachers do not make much money

[Speaker 2] I will ask my dad. Do you play video games? I like them.

[Speaker 1] I won a trip to Disney World through a radio contest!

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! When are you going?

[Speaker 1] They're yet to contact me about the trip, but as soon as they tell me I can haha! Wanted to go there for a long time. When did you go there last time?

[Speaker 2] It will be even more fun since it will be free! I was there last in February. It really is the happiest place on Earth.

[Speaker 1] Sounds great indeed :) I've also seen a lot of people arguing about Disney World being better than Disneyland, what do you think about that?

[Speaker 2] I prefer Disney World just because it so much bigger. It has four parks and a lot more rides. What rides are you most excited to go on?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I've heard a lot from my brother, he went there last year with his kids. They mostly enjoyed The Twilight Zone Tower, Space Mountain and Kali River Rapids. Which ones do you recommend?

[Speaker 2] Those are all great rides. My favorite is Space Mountain. It never disappoints! I can give you some restaurant suggestions too if you want them?

[Speaker 1] Cool, I'll be sure to try it then. Sure, that'd be great, tell me please!

[Speaker 2] The Brown Derby and Be Our Guest are fantastic. A little expensive, but worth it. The street carts sell pretzel and ice cream Mickey bars, which you must have!

[Speaker 1] Haha the names are so weird. Will try it, thank you for all the help, I don't want to miss anything good :)

[Speaker 2] Have a blast. Take a ton of pictures too!

I like the beach.

I am 9 years old. I am in third grade.

My dad has a lot of money.

[Speaker 1] The radio station called me! I'm going on my Disney trip in 2 months!

[Speaker 2] That's exciting! I love Disney World!

[Speaker 1] I am so excited!  I need to know all the places to hit and when the best time to go is.  I know I'm going to ride Space Mountain until I get sick!

[Speaker 2] This is a good time of year to go. Make sure you eat at Be Our Guest.

[Speaker 1] I'll make a note of it!  I still can't believe they called me.  I can't wait to tell my students tomorrow.  I know a couple already wrote themes about it and another told me just last week that they are going once school is out.

[Speaker 2] I will be in fourth grade next year!

[Speaker 1] That's right!  You are still at Middleton right?  That's such a good school.  I wonder if you will Mr. Westbrook or Mrs. Ohtani.

[Speaker 2] Yes. Are they good teachers?

[Speaker 1] I think they are both great.  Mr. Westbrook is so funny and you won't find a sweeter teacher than Mrs. Ohtani.  Are you ready for the summer?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm going to Disney next month.

[Speaker 1] Wow! You go so often.  They probably know your name.  Are there any new rides?

[Speaker 2] There may be this year. I just love Space Mountain.

I like the beach.

I won a radio contest. I won a trip to Disney World through a radio contest.

My brother went to Disney World with his kids last year. They liked The Twilight Zone Tower, Space Mountain and Kali River Rapids. I like roller coasters.

I am 9 years old. I am in third grade.

My dad has a lot of money.

I'm going to Disney.

[Speaker 1] Have you started packing for your trip to Disney?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I am all ready. I can't wait to get there!  I am really looking forward to going on Space Mountain! What rides were your favorites?

[Speaker 1] I haven't actually been myself, but I've heard good things about Space Mountain. That was your favourite, right? I'm guessing you'll be riding that a few times.

[Speaker 2] Yeah me and my dad usually end up going on it a few times. Last time we went we almost made it on that ride 4 times but we didn't have enough time before the park shut down.

[Speaker 1] Goodness! Did you do anything but ride Space Mountain last time you went?

[Speaker 2] We ate at Be Our Guest and ended up doing the Haunted Mansion and the Kali River Rapids. There is a lot to do and so little time to get it done. I have to get on my favorites more than once though.

[Speaker 1] Oooh, very nice. What'd you get at Be Our Guest?

[Speaker 2] They had a burger that was named after one of the characters in beauty and the beast. I can't remember which one but we might stop there again.

[Speaker 1] Sounds great, I'll have to stop there when I eventually go. My nephew loved going on the Kali River Rapids when my brother took him, how did you like it?

[Speaker 2] It was very fast and very fun. I got a little wet from the rapids but it was a nice day and we dried off pretty quickly. I think you should go, you'll really like it. Maybe we can make it the 4th grade field trip!

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing, but something tells me the budget won't stretch quite far enough for that. I'm just lucky that I'll be getting a chance to go at all, whenever these radio people give me the details.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is really cool you won a contest. I will let you know how the trip was when I get back. We are leaving soon and I need to make sure I remembered everything I wanted to bring.

I like the beach.

I am 9 years old. I am in third grade.

My dad has a lot of money.

I went to Disney World last February. I prefer Disney World to Disneyland. Space Mountain is my favorite ride. The Brown Derby and Be Our Guest are my favorite restaurants in Disney. I am going to a Disney theme park soon. I have been to Disney theme parks multiple times with my father. I like to do many different activities at the theme park.

[Speaker 1] What does your dad like to do besides going to Disney?

[Speaker 2] My dad spends a lot of time working, and talking about making money. It seems like a big world to me. I love it when he comes home from work.

[Speaker 1] I bet. That is so great that you get to spend that time with him You will cherish it when you are older.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense I guess. I like that you are into Disney too. What was it about that Twilight Zone tower, you liked?

[Speaker 1] That was my nephews! I am actually not too big into rides. I hate to admit it but they make me sick.

[Speaker 2] That's okay, you aren't alone I think. We can start smaller I guess. Trying to figure out what you like to talk about. Roller coasters you said maybe?

[Speaker 1] I like them but I get horribly sick. I have to take medicine.

[Speaker 2] Aw, okay, you've mentioned twice now that you get sick so let me know what you might wanna talk about ?

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to bring the conversation down. I really do love the thrill.I just have to be prepared.

[Speaker 2] Yes, you are clear in that. I hear you saying you have to be prepared, and you have to take medicine and get sick, although you love hate roller coasters?

[Speaker 1] I just suffer from motion sickness.What other activities do you like to do at theme parks?

[Speaker 2] I like a lot, mostly the Mickey themed rides. We could check them out together?
