Hey, how are you doing?
A lot better. Thanks for coming to visit me.
No problem. I brought you some flowers, and a get well card.
Wow, thanks. How is everyone else?
They’re doing fine. You’re the only one left in the hospital.
Oh okay. I should be getting out soon.
Oh, really?
Yeah. I only broke my arm and scraped up my head a bit.
Sounds painful. What exactly happened?
Well, my family was coming home from a trip.
Did you hit something with your car?
Yeah, we hit a deer.
Was it late at night?
Yeah. My dad was pretty tired from driving.
How is he?
He’s okay. He didn’t break any bones, but he cut his head.
Oh, that’s why he had stitches on his head.
Yeah. Everyone else is fine.
That’s good. So, what’s it like staying in a hospital?
It’s not too bad. The food is gross.
Oh, really? I’ll have to bring you some tomorrow.
That would be great. They also have a library.
That’s cool, do you go there a lot?
Not really. It’s on the other side of the hospital.
Oh, okay. Well, I have to go, but I’ll come back tomorrow. When are visiting hours?
You can come at 9 AM.
Okay. See you then!
Bye!

Hi there, how may I help you?
Hi, can I just get a simple haircut?
Sure, come right this way!
Alright.
So, how much do you want me to cut?
Oh, I don’t know. I just want a trim.
How about I cut two inches off? I’ll get rid of those split ends.
Okay, sounds good.
So, do you live around here?
Yeah, I live across the street actually.
Oh, that’s convenient.
Yes it is.
There, does that side look good?
Yeah, it does. It’s looking great so far.
Alright, almost done.
Cool.
There we go! Let me grab another mirror.
Alright.
Here you go! How does it look?
It looks perfect, thank you very much!
No problem. Would you like me to blow-dry your hair too?
No thanks.
Alright, that’ll be $16.
Sounds good, here you go! Keep the change.
Thank you very much! We hope to see you again!
Thanks!

Hi there, I’d like to buy a train ticket.
Alright, where are you headed?
I’m going downtown, to the theatre.
Alright, you’re going to want to take the orange line.
Great! When does the next train leave?
The next train departs in about 20 minutes.
Okay. I’ve never ridden a train before.
Business class is one of the nicer classes.
Okay, I’ll take one business class ticket, then.
Alright, that will be $30.
Okay! Now, what am I allowed to bring?
Anything you bring must weigh less than 50 lbs.
That’s fine; all I have is my purse.
Are you excited for your first train ride?
Yes, I am! Train stations are so busy.
They can be; it depends on the time of day.
Oh okay. Do you like working here?
It’s pretty cool. There are a lot of interesting people.
I bet! So, where will my train come in?
Right over there – you can just wait on those benches.
Sounds good!

Hi there, what have you been up to lately?
I have been looking for universities to apply to.
Really? So have I!
Cool! For what semester will you apply?
I will apply for the fall semester. How about you?
I will apply for the spring semester. I need to work until then.
Yeah, college can be very expensive.
How are you paying for college?
I am taking loans.
That’s cool. Have you started any applications?
Yes, I have. The applications take a while!
They do! Don’t you have to write essays, too?
Yes, those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
I’m glad I’m not registering until the spring.
Yeah, my applications are due pretty soon.
Are you applying for financial aid?
Yes, but I don’t have to do that until a few months from now.
What else do you have to do?
I have to get recommendations from two people.
Oh, really? Who will you ask?
I think I’ll ask my pastor and my boss at work.
Wow, seems like a lot of work to apply.
I guess so, but it’s definitely worth it.
Oh, okay. I’ll have to ask you to help me when I apply!
Sure, I’ll help you.
Awesome! Good luck!
Thanks!

Class room
Yeah, it’s small, clean, and new. I also like my classmates and my teacher.
I agree, but I would like to have more than one teacher because I learn better that way.
So do I. I don’t like having assigned seats either.
I agree! I don’t think the teacher should assign seats to students because I like to sit with my friends.
Me too. I do like the classroom though.
Yeah, it’s small and pretty relaxed. I like the layout, too.
The layout is okay. I think it’d be better if all the desks faced forward and the teacher’s desk was at the front and corner, facing the students.
Well, that’s easier to do when there are less students.
Yeah, I like classrooms with few students because I feel like I learn better.
Me too. So, what bothers you about the classroom?
Well, sometimes it is too hot.
I also don’t like the desks; they are uncomfortable.
I don’t like the homework or classwork when it is too hard, and I don’t like the chalkboard because it is too small.
Yeah, If I could, I would get a bigger chalkboard.
And I’d get some more comfortable desks!
What would make them more comfortable?
Well, the desks would be movable so we could sit where we wanted, and they wouldn’t be attached to the chairs.
If I could improve the classroom, I would also make the air conditioning system better.
I think we should get more breaks from studying. We spend way too much time in here.
Agreed! We’re in here at least 6 hours every day.
I wish we changed classrooms more often because I get bored easily. What do you do to pass the time?
When I get bored, I stare out the window for hours.
Even though I get bored, I still think the classroom is a good place to study because it is usually quiet.
I think it’s too quiet. At least, it is where I sit.
You sit in the front, don’t you? You sit with all the smart kids.
Yeah. You sit closer to the back, correct?
I do. I like where I sit because I sit next to the window, and the students that sit around me are nice.
Even though you’re in the back, they’re still pretty smart, and they pay attention.
We should probably pay more attention.
Yeah, class isn’t that bad.
I agree. Let’s go!
Shooping
The sale starts at 6 am, what time should we leave?
Let’s leave at a half hour before that.
So we can get in line early?
Yes, the new computer is going to draw many people.
I have heard people in New York waiting inline for 24 hours.
That’s insane!
I agree, but they want the computer at a lower price.
That’s a fair point! But how much is their time worth?
Must be enough to justify waiting in line!
How long have you ever waited in line when you’ve gone shopping?
I don’t know, maybe 10 minutes.
That’s not too long!
No, but it still drove me crazy!
I guess you are an impatient guy.
I really am. My wife tells me that all day.
How is Mary?
She is well.
What is she doing today?
She’s at the mall shopping with her friend for new makeup.
Oh, how the ladies love their makeup.
Yes, they do. They have to be pretty for us!
Hey, I don’t mind!
Me either!
Well, lets get in the car so we can go to the store!
Sounds like a plan!

The fire is already going strong.
I’ve been working on it for hours.
You’ve done a good job.
Yeah, I was a boy scout for 10 years!
Really? So was I!
Boy Scouts helped me become a man.
Why do you say?
I learned right from wrong and they kept me out of trouble.
They did the same for me.
The boy scouts is a great organization.
Say, are we going to roast some marshmallows today?
That’s a good idea!
I have a bag in our tent!
Go get them!
Okay, you find some sticks.
Marshmallows over a camp fire is the best thing ever.
The only thing better is smores!
What are smores?
You don’t know what smores are?
No!
They are roasted marshmallows, with gram crackers and chocolate.
That sounds delicious!
They are!
Well, lets go buy some gram crackers and chocolate.

The water looks beautiful today!
I know, I’ve been waiting to hit the beach for weeks!
How hot will it get today?
I’ve heard as high as 90 degrees.
I’m glad we are at the beach today!
Yeah, if we get hot, we can go swimming!
The kids are going to have a blast too!
Yes, they will. Johnny already said he’s building a sandcastle.
Can you hand me the sun tan lotion from my bag.
Sure, do you mind if I use some first.
No, not at all.
Thank you. I’d hate to get a sun burn today!
I know, I had one last year and it hurt so bad.
How long did it take to heal?
It hurt for at least a week or two.
Ouch!
Yeah, now I never leave the home without lotion.
Good idea!
Especially on hot days like today!
Let’s set up our towels over here.
Good, this way we are close to the water.
Yes, I may want to jump in at any moment.
We are lucky to have a clear beach today!
I noticed that too! No one is here. I wonder why.
Me too, but I’m going to enjoy the peace!

Can you take me to seventh Street and Michigan Avenue?
Sure buddy, hop in the back.
Thanks, I wanted to avoid the rain.
Good thing you caught me, I almost passed you.
Thanks again. I didn’t want to get rained on.
The weather man says, “It’s going to rain hard all afternoon!”
Now, I’m headed to work a 10 hour shift.
What kind of work do you do, sir?
I work for the Detroit Fire Department.
Wow, so you fight fires?
Yeah, I have for 20 years.
That’s an amazing job!
It is, but it’s dangerous.
How does your family feel about it?
They hate it! They are afraid for me.
I understand!
But, I only have three more years and I’ll retire.
What will you do then?
I don’t know, maybe drive a taxi.
Really? Why?
I’d love to do what you do.
It is a neat job.
I love people, so I would love to talk to new people everyday.
Then a taxi driver is a perfect job for your retirement years.
Well, that’s my plan, my family will like that better too!
They will! We are at the Fire Department.
Thanks for the ride buddy, take care!

This party is really fun.
How long will it last?
My friend said it will last until midnight.
Awesome.
What do they have to eat in the fridge?
I think they have submarine sandwiches.
That’s great!
Yeah, I love them too!
Are you going to stay the entire night?
I was planning on it!
Me too!
Why do you ask?
Can you give me a ride home?
Sure, where do you live?
I live right across the street from the mall.
Okay, I’m driving right past that anyway!
Good, maybe we can stop and get something to eat.
Won’t you eat here at the party?
I’m not hungry now, but I will be later.
That makes sense!
Hey look, they have cheese and crackers!
Sweet! I love them!
Let’s go and get a plate!
This is going to be a great party!
I know, it has that kind of feeling to it!
How long will it last?
My friend said it will last until midnight.
Awesome.
What do they have to eat in the fridge?
I think they have submarine sandwiches.
That’s great!
Yeah, I love them too!
Are you going to stay the entire night?
I was planning on it!
Me too!
Why do you ask?

Are you going to vote in the mayor’s race?
Yes, I always vote.
Who are you voting for?
That’s too private. I don’t want to say?
Why not? Are you embarrassed?
No, voting is a private matter.
I disagree. I’m proud of who I’ve voting for
Oh yeah? Who then?
I’m voting to reelect Mayor Mulder.
Mulder?
Yeah, I like him!
Isn’t he from TV?
You are thinking of Fox Mulder, from the X-Files.
Oh yeah.
I’m voting for David Mulder, the Mayor of our city.
Yeah, I’m just playing with you.
I think he’s done a great job lowering taxes.
Yeah, that is a good thing. Does he believe in global warming?
No, he thinks the Earth is strong enough to withstand us.
Yeah, he’s probably right.
He is, and it’s not a popular opinion to have these days!
It’s brave of him to make it.
Well, I need to catch my bus so I can go vote!
Okay, take care my friend. Call me when you get home!
I will, I can’t wait to see who wins tonight!
Me too!
Goodbye!
Yes, I always vote.

Do you want to watch a movie tonight, honey?
Yes, I do.
What kind of film do you want to see?
I don’t know, something scary sounds good!
Yeah it does.
I love horror films!
Me too, why do you think that is?
It’s because it’s so fictional, it allows us to break loose.
That is true.
Plus, it’s always good to have a good scare!
What’s your favorite horror movie?
I love the Nightmare on Elms Street movies.
Those are terrifying!
I also like any Stephen King movie!
Oh yeah, me too!
My favorite King movie is the Shawshank Redemption!
Wow, that’s my all time favorite movie!
It really is amazing.
I love quoting that movie, its inspiring.
Yeah, it may not be a horror film, but it is still epic.
Have you read the short story its based on?
No.
You should!
What book is it in?
It’s in a Stephen King book called, “Different Seasons.”
Well, I’m off to the store to buy it!
Yes, I do.

Do you believe in time travel?
Yes, I guess I do. Why?
I’m writing an essay on the subject.
That sounds fun.
It is. I’ve learned that time travel to the past is impossible.
What about the future?
Well, thats a different story.
There have been some promising studies that show it’s possible.
That is mind blowing!
Yes, but the science backs up the claims!
How would they do it?
Well, someone would have to build a time machine.
Yeah, thats the tricky part.
Yes it is. But once it’s built, anything is possible!
Where would you want to travel if you could?
I’d want to travel back in time to see famous events.
Like what?
I don’t know? The birth of Christ maybe! Or the sinking of the Titanic.
Yeah, you could warn them about the iceberg!
I never thought of that!
You could be a hero!
Yes, I would be a hero!
You could save thousands of lives!
I better get working on that time machine!
I can’t wait until you make one!
Me either!
Yes, I guess I do. Why?

Your yard looks beautiful Bob.
Thank you, I’ve been working hard on it.
What do you do to make it so green?
A lot of different things!
Can you tell me a few?
The best thing to do is to water it every day?
Every day? Are you sure?
Yes, the more water, the better!
Okay, what else?
Also, you need to cut your grass at least every four to ?ve days.
Why is that important.
Because it will keep killing the weeds in the yard!
Oh yeah!
Also, make sure you edge and weed-whack the extra grass.
Why do you do that?
It makes the grass look pretty from the street.
That make sense.
I’m pretty proud of my yard!
You should be! It could win contests!
You think so? Maybe I should enter some!
You should! You’d be the favorite to win in my view.
I’ll have to find some!
Look in the yellow pages!
Thank you, I will!
Good luck, I know you’ll take home first place

Thanks for going on this walk with me
It’s my pleasure!
How has work been for you?
Exhausting! I worked 50 hours this week!
That seems impossible!
Yeah, it felt impossible.
But at least you get paid overtime.
That is true. My check should be pretty good.
What are you going to do with the extra money?
I’ve been thinking about buying a new computer.
Yeah, is your current one old?
Yeah, like 7 years old.
Wow!
Yeah, I’m surprised it even turns on for me!
What kind were you looking at?
I was thinking about a laptop.
Yeah, those are nice and reasonably priced.
I wanted one I could travel around with me!
Then laptop is the way to go!
Do you know how much money do they cost?
Anywhere from $300.00 to $1,000.00.
Wow, that much?
Yeah, the best ones are around $900-$1,000.00.
Well, I have to do some research before I buy!
Yeah, that would be the smart thing to do.
Well, we are at my house.
I’ll see you later!
It’s my pleasure!

I’d love to play hockey with you sometime.
That sounds good.
I’ve never played before.
It’s my favorite sport.
What are the basic rules?
Well, you need five players per team, plus a goalie.
What does the goalie do?
His job is to stop the puck from going in the net?
Is that important?
It’s the most important thing in the entire game.
That’s how you win?
Correct, the team with the most goals wins.
Can there be ties?
Yes, you can tie, but you could also play a shootout.
You can pick either one?
Yes, you have to decided before the game starts, however.
What about the championship game?
What about it?
You can’t tie a championship game, you need a winner.
That is true.
What do you do then?
In a championship game, you play until someone breaks the tie.
How long could that last?
It would last as long as it takes for a team to break the score.
Oh, that make senses.
I can’t wait to play!

Joe, what time does our Math class start?
I am sure it starts at 11 AM.
I don’t want to go.
Why not?
We have that huge algebra test.
Yeah, I’m sure you studied for it.
Well, that’s the thing.
Don’t tell me…
Yeah, I didn’t study a lick last night.
What were you doing?
I was watching movies all evening!
Which ones?
I don’t remember the name of the movie.
What was it about?
It was really good!
I said, what was it about?
It was about a boy who didn’t know he was a wizard.
That sounds interesting.
It was really good. There are like seven more movies.
Wow, you have a lot to watch!
Yeah, plus there are a bunch of books too!
Really, it sounds like something I’d like to read.
So, what are you going to do about the math test?
I don’t know, probably fail.
Well, good luck!
I am sure it starts at 11 AM.

What kind of stores should we go to?
I don’t care, we should try and go to them all!
I think we’d be really tired if we did that!
It would still be fun!
Remember last time we went to the mall?
Yes, we shopped all day!
Yeah, we should do that again!
I’m ready, I just need something to eat first.
What do you feel like eating?
Nothing special.
We should just grab some hamburgers on the way.
No, I don’t want any hamburgers.
What about tacos?
Tacos make my stomach hurt.
What about breakfast?
Like what?
We could stop and get some pancakes.
Yeah, pancakes sounds good.
I know a great breakfast dinner, next to the mall.
Perfect! We can go shopping right afterwards!
Wonderful! Sounds like a plan to me!
Now we just need to stop at the bank and get some money
Yes, money is important when we’re going shopping!
How much should I get out?
I think if you took out $200 that would be enough.
And, I still owe you $50.00.
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me.
We are going to have fun today!
I don’t care, we should try and go to them all!

I can’t believe we got tickets to the baseball game!
I know, I’ve wanted to see the team play all year.
It’s too bad they are in last place.
That’s okay, I just love the game.
Yeah, that’s true.
Do you think the game will start on time?
I don’t know.
The rain has been coming down fairly strong.
I hope they get the game in.
Yes, it would be a shame if we wasted our Sunday.
It’s not a waste, we are together!
Yes, that is a wonderful point.
And, even if they don’t play baseball, it’s nice to be outside.
Yes, I do enjoy the rain.
Do you know who is pitching today?
Well, I hope it’s Dean Thomas.
I thought he played another sport?
Yeah, but he plays baseball now too.
What’s his record so far this year?
He’s won ?ve games and lost two.
That’s not bad at all for a rookie!
Yeah, the team could go places with this kid on the mound.
How fast can he throw?
He’s been clocked at 99 miles per hour.
That’s amazing!
I sure hope they play now, I’d love to see him.
Me too my friend. Me too.
I know, I’ve wanted to see the team play all year.

Good afternoon, do you know where the bus stop is?
Hello, the bus stop is down the street.
I’m new to the area, can you show me exactly where?
Sure, just go down two blocks and it’s on your left.
I have $3.00 in change, will that be enough for the bus fare?
Yes, $3.00 is more than enough to get you to your destination.
Where are you from?
I’m from another state, I’m here visiting family.
Oh that sounds lovely.
It is, I haven’t seen them in two years.
Oh, is it a surprise?
Yes, they don’t know I’m coming.
Wonderful! It was nice talking to you today.
Thank you, can I trouble you for a couple more minutes?
Sure, how can I help you?
I wanted to buy some flowers for my sister, is there any flower shop nearby?
Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t know of any.
That’s okay, I bet I could ask someone on the bus.
Yes, I’m sure someone on the bus could help you.
Also, I wanted to take my brother to a bar.
Oh, you are in luck!
I am? Wonderful!
Yes, my favorite bar, is just three blocks past the bus stop.
What is it called?
It’s called, “The Three Brooksticks.”
Great. Thank you for your time.
You’re welcome!

Hi, I’d like to mail a package.
Alright, how big is it?
It’s about one cubic foot, and it weighs ten pounds.
Alright, let’s check those measurements.
Okay!
Yep, you were about right. Now, do you have enough stamps?
Yeah, I put three. It’s going across the country.
Oh, okay. That should be enough.
Awesome. So, How much will it cost?
It will cost $8.
Alright, here you go!
Thanks. SO, do you come to the post office a lot?
Not really. I usually just mail letters from my home.
Yeah, that’s what most people do.
I like sending mail to my friends; it’s more fun than email.
I agree! I don’t like getting advertisements, though.
Me neither.
Do you get the newspaper?
No, I don’t.
You should really sign up for it.
Can I do that here?
Sure!
Awesome. The news can be pretty interesting.
Yeah, the comics are funny too.
Thanks for all your help!
No problem, come again soon!

Hey there!
Hey, what’s up?
Nothing really. I’m about to go to the park to fly my kite.
You fly kites?
Yeah, I make them too.
Oh, that’s really cool!
Yeah, what kind of hobbies do you have?
Well, I really like building model trains and cars.
Those look like a lot of work.
Yeah, they are, but they look really cool after you’re done.
They do! What else do you do in your free time?
I like to swim and play piano.
Oh, really? I play an instrument, too.
What instrument do you play?
I play guitar, and I like to sing.
We should play some music together some time!
Sounds good!
So, do you play any sports?
Not really. I like to go on jogs, though.
That’s cool. Do you jog on trails?
Yeah, I love the outdoors.
Me too! You should come to the park with me.
Okay, let’s go!

Isn’t learning a foreign language hard?
It’s not that hard.
I think it is. English was hard to learn.
What is your native language?
my native language is Arabic. How about yours?
Mine is French.
Oh, cool. Do you know any other languages?
I know German and a little bit of Spanish. How about you?
I only know English and Arabic.
Oh, okay. How did you learn English?
I took classes in school. How about you?
I taught myself.
Oh, really? Cool! How did you do that?
I started by studying vocabulary, and then simple phrases.
That’s really cool. How do you remember vocabulary?
The best way for me is to use flashcards. How about you?
I like to write vocabulary words many times.
That helps me too.
So, you know a lot of languages.
Yeah. I studied them a lot when I was a child.
They say it’s easier to learn a foreign language when you are a child.
I agree with that. It gets harder as I get older.
I guess that’s why I only know two!
Too bad. Knowing a lot of languages can be really helpful.
How so?
Well, if you travel a lot, it’s easier when you can communicate with others.
That’s true. What if you don’t travel a lot?
It’s still nice to know about other cultures.
Do you study culture when you study language?
Well, I think that language is part of culture.
Oh, that’s true.
Learning about culture is also very interesting.
Yeah, it is. There’s a lot you have to learn to speak a language well.
You have to learn to write that language, too.
You also have to be able to read and understand it!
Yeah, it really is a lot of work.
It’s worth it, though.
It’s not that hard.
I think it is. English was hard to learn.

Hi. Are you new to the neighborhood?
Yes. I just moved in last week.
I remember seeing the moving truck. Did you move from far away?
Not really. My old house was a 40 minute drive from here.
That’s not too bad.
No, it made the move a little easier.
Do you have any children?
I do. I have two boys. One is 8 and the other is 6.
I have a 7 year old son.
I will have to bring my boys over to meet your son.
That’s a good idea. There is a park nearby where they can play.
They would love that.
This is a good neighborhood. It’s quiet, doesn’t have a lot of traffic and it’s safe for the kids to play.
That’s reassuring to hear.
I think you’ll enjoy it here, too. I can introduce you to some of the other neighbors.
I would appreciate that.
Why don’t you come over tomorrow for lunch? We can visit while the boys play.
I would enjoy that. Is there anything I can bring for lunch?
A salad would be good. I made cinnamon rolls this morning. We can have them for dessert.
My boys will be so excited. They are looking forward to making new friends.
Well, they will have plenty of new friends soon. There are a lot of children in the neighborhood.
Thank you for the invitation.
You’re welcome. I always try to make new neighbors feel at home.
See you tomorrow then.
Ok. Have a good evening.
You too.
