I am moving to another state next month. My favorite football team is the chicago bears. I went to a very strict high school. My father used to be the headmaster in my school. My siblings are all older than me.
Speaker 2
I like to play baseball. I love eating seafood. I enjoy learning new languages. I'm currently going for a marketing degree. I want to design ads in the future.
Speaker 1
I am moving out of state next month. I am a fan of the Chicago Bears. My father was a principal for a high school. I was not allowed at the high school my father worked at. I have multiple siblings. My siblings and I learned different languages growing up. I speak English, German and Italian.
Speaker 2
I love to play baseball. I speak English and French. I am learning to speak German. I live in Canada. I like the summers in Canada.
Speaker 1
Hi. I am going to be moving out of my state next month.
Speaker 2
Oh cool. Where to?
Speaker 1
Not sure. But I will still be a big chicago bears fan!
Speaker 2
I love to participate in baseball!
Speaker 1
That great. My father was the principal at a strict high school and I wasn't allowed.
Speaker 2
That's unfortunate. Were you at least allowed to learn languages?
Speaker 1
I was required! All my siblings were older and language was important to them.
Speaker 2
Which languages do you speak! I love languages.
Speaker 1
Well english, german, and italian.
Speaker 2
Neat! I am learning german and speak english and french.
Speaker 1
Where do you presently reside?
Speaker 2
Actually canada! It is cold but with nice summers.

Speaker 1
I think I have my next move narrowed down to a couple different states. I am thinking California, Florida or possibly even Texas. 
Speaker 2
Nice! do you have a preference?
Speaker 1
California has great weather but the prices are frightening! I think Texas is the next big thing and everyone is moving there. Probably lots of fun before it gets too expensive. Austin or Dallas.
Speaker 2
are there any jobs you'd like to get down there
Speaker 1
Tech companies seem to be the  best opportunity for pay and advancement. I don't want to sell my soul to a company, but I need to set myself up in a new location. I can do food service stuff, but that is hard long-term.
Speaker 2
are there any companies you have in mind?
Speaker 1
It's hard to get into the biggies like Google and Apple, but they probably have the most opportunities. Maybe a startup there? Tech startups are exciting because of the growth but also realllllly risky. What do you think?
Speaker 2
High risk high reward I guess.  I'd probably go with one of the startups.  If that goes wrong you could always find another job.
Speaker 1
Maybe start with a small company, get some skills, then apply to one of the big ones. Everyone has to start somewhere. I don't want to spend my time in a cubicle in a new city. So much to explore.
Speaker 2
True.  Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
Speaker 1
I'll find out soon enough. What about you? Summer is almost here. What are you looking forward to?
Speaker 2
I'm really looking forward to baseball season! I hope my teams are good this year.

My siblings and I learned different languages growing up. I speak English, German and Italian. I plan to move to either California, Florida, or Texas. I hope to work for a tech company. I would like to work at a start up, but I find them risky. I need to gain some work skills.
Speaker 2
I love to play baseball. I speak English and French. I am learning to speak German. I live in Canada. I like the summers in Canada.
Speaker 1
I think I've settled on moving to the San Francisco Bay Area. It sure is pricey, but the tech job opportunities can't be beat.
Speaker 2
Yes I heard it's expensive! But besides that how do you like it there? Did you find a job already?
Speaker 1
Not yet, but I am going to start putting in some applications soon before I actually fully commit. I think I am going to really like it there.
Speaker 2
I bet you will! ;) We should speak German sometime! And since you speak Italian too I'm pretty sure you would love to learn French too... have you ever thought about learning another language since you already speak 3?
Speaker 1
Yeah French is the next one on my list. The 2nd language I learned other than English was the most difficult, but after that I was able to pick up German and Italian a little more easily. I would love to learn French so I can say that I am fluent in 4 languages.
Speaker 2
I would love to speak Italian too, I totally love italian food and the culture. Have you ever been to Italy before?
Speaker 1
I have not, but I am an avid Italian cuisine lover as well. I don't know what it is, but I'm a total pasta addict! I would eat it every day if I could, but I found out in college that I gain weight quickly if I eat it all the time!
Speaker 2
LOL:) yes how can you not love pasta... and pizza.. and wine! Are you still in college? You mentioned Chicago Bears last time, were you living in Illinois before or what state were you in?
Speaker 1
I am living in Illinois right now, and I just graduated college a few months ago. I will be moving in the next month. I will still be an avid Bears fan, even when I move!
Speaker 2
Do you think you'll miss it? I'm pretty sure you will love California so much! You picked the right state. I wish Cali was closer to Canada... 
Speaker 1
I bet there will be things that I will miss, but honestly, I am really looking forward to some new scenery. I think I am going to love the weather in California.
Speaker 2
You will for sure. I've been there a few times to watch some baseball games. I almost didn't want to leave! :D

Speaker 1
I'm officially moving to San Francisco Bay! I was offered a job and found the perfect apartment.
Speaker 2
That is amazing, congratulations! You must be so excited. What are you most looking forward to?
Speaker 1
Thank you! I think I am most excited about the apartment. It is so beautiful and modern. I will be proud to live there and show people!
Speaker 2
That is so cool! I heard that it is very expensive to live in the San Fran area, you must have a great job! I hope to see pictures of your place or maybe even visit!
Speaker 1
It is quite pricey, but my new job enables me to afford it, thankfully. I work in the tech industry, so it's pretty easy to find a good job. I would love for you to come visit and see my new place! Are you free next weekend? 
Speaker 2
I will be coming from Canada, so I think I need a little more time to book a flight and accomodation and whatnot! But maybe we can plan for a month or two from now!
Speaker 1
Okay, that is fine. I completely understand because of the distance. Did you grow up in Canada? Or did you move there as an adult? 
Speaker 2
I have lived here all my life! I don't know any different but I would love to travel the world and see what else is out there.
Speaker 1
I would love to travel more too. I've always wanted to travel to Greece, for example. It looks beautiful in photos. Where would you like to travel to? 
Speaker 2
Greece looks beautiful! Have you ever traveled anywhere in Europe? I would love to go to the Maldives and stay in one of those huts over the water.
Speaker 1
No, I have never traveled to Europe, but I would love to. Maybe we could plan something like that next summer if we are able to coordinate our schedules! I would be up for just about anything, really. Even staying in a hut in the Maldives! ha.
Speaker 2
I would love to coordinate something! I have never gone backpacking through Europe, that seems like something we could maybe do!

How is the weather on Canada?
Speaker 2
The weather's been pretty hot here recently. The heat wave this summer has been crazy, but it's been okay since I love spending time out in the sun. How's the weather for you in Illinois?
Speaker 1
I guess that's better than being super cold in winter? The weathers been pretty decent, sunny, warm and little to no rain.
Speaker 2
That's true. Winters are seriously brutal here. And that sounds nice! That sounds like perfect weather to go out and do something. That said, have you been up to anything recently?
Speaker 1
A friend of mine like in Ottawa and always says that the cold can last almost half the year. I've be out swimming at the outdoor pool a lot recently. I'm planning to have a bbq over the weekend.
Speaker 2
Yeah, the cold lasts long over in Ottawa. And wow, swimming sounds great right about now! Also, that BBQ sounds like it'll be fun! Who are you inviting? 
Speaker 1
Oh man that's insane. I love swimming, seriously missed it. Some friends and neighbors. What have you been up to?
Speaker 2
Recently I've been studying for this class I'm taking over the summer. It's been pretty tedious; so much homework and tests to study for. It's so boring, seriously.
Speaker 1
Oh, what class are you taking? Are you commuting there or taking it online?
Speaker 2
It's a political science class, so it's definitely not one of my favorite subjects. And I'm taking it online, so I guess that makes it a little easier. Online learning is kind of challenging, though.
Speaker 1
What's it about? I haven't taken any politics classes. Commuting seriously sucked especially for morning classes. 
Speaker 2
Oh really? I don't really recommend taking it, haha. It's pretty much just about learning about the government and how it functions. I wish I could've taken it in person, but the in-person classes were all full. And yeah, commuting really did suck. I guess that's what makes taking this class online better! I don't have to deal with traffic at all.
