Do you like sports? What about the chicago bears football team.
Speaker 2
I do like sports but not really into american football.
Speaker 1
I went to a very strick high school, my father was the principal at my old school.

Speaker 1
I'm excited about my move to Florida. I've been researching it a lot. I'm worried about the weather, though.
Speaker 2
Sounds like you're in for a treat! I've been to Florida once and enjoyed it. The humidity definitely wan't enjoyable but the lack of snow made up for it. What city are you planning on moving to?
Speaker 1
I love the heat. I think I was born to just bake in the sun. I am thinking of Tampa. Which city would you go to?
Speaker 2
If you love the heat, then you'll definitely like Florida. I haven't been to Tampa, but I did like Miami when I visited. I really enjoyed the beaches in Miami. Have you been to Florida before or will this be a new city for you?
Speaker 1
I have been before which is why I decided to move. The beaches were one of the main reasons actually. Imagine going out for lunch while at work to sit on the beach for 30 mins.
Speaker 2
Oh yes, that does sound quite nice. I actually just remembered that I went through Tallahassee once briefly but it rained most of the time so I didn't do much. Do you have any family in Tampa?
Speaker 1
No, its more to get away from them. They are very strict and I feel I need a bit more freedom. 
Speaker 2
Ah, that makes sense. Will you have any friends close by in Tampa or is this a totally fresh start for you?
Speaker 1
Completely fresh start. i am really excited about it!
Speaker 2
Sounds like it will be really fun. Do you follow any of the local sports there? 
Speaker 1
Not a big sports fan to be honest. It all seems a bit too aggressive for me. How about you?
Speaker 2
That's alright. I do like sports, soccer especially, but I'm not too into many American sports. However, I do try to watch some of the Tampa Bay Rays games from time to time.

Speaker 1
I was looking through some old photos when I went to Florida and thought of you!
Speaker 2
Sweet of you to think of me! Where in Florida were the pictures taken?
Speaker 1
it was a beach in Miami!  Perfrect view of the ocean managed to get a shot where it was just the beach and the water, no people.
Speaker 2
That sounds lovely. I could use a vacation in Miami right about now! Have you given more thought to your move to Tampa?
Speaker 1
It's still a possibilty.  I need to make sure I have a job down there so I ve been applying and doing remote interviews
Speaker 2
That's smart. I've known some people who've made spontaneous moves without preparation, and the job situation was a major source of stress for them. When you end up moving, I'll have to make a trip to visit you!
Speaker 1
I cant wait.  Its not on the beach but its a 30 min drive to two different beaches!
Speaker 2
I looked it up on a travel website, and it said that there are a ton of awesome beaches in that part of Florida. So what field do you work in?
Speaker 1
I work in textiles.  I connect vendors to retailers. selling fabrics to companies to make clothes.
Speaker 2
That sounds like fun, actually! I'm sure that Florida would be a good place for that, as the fashion industry seems to be big there.
Speaker 1
Thats what Im hoping for.  Should be more fun than seling fabric for coats.  I can sell fabrics for all those awesome hawiian shirts people wear
Speaker 2
Haha I love seeing those! They make me want to grab a Mai Tai and relax!

My possible move to Tampa is contingent on finding a job there. I am currently trying to secure a job in Tampa. I work in textiles. I connect textile vendors to clothing retailers. I prefer summer fashions to winter fashions.

I am tired and would like a break. I do not live in Tampa. I am not personally familiar with the Tampa, FL area. I am interested in fashion. I enjoy the summer aesthetic.
Speaker 1
I just got a call back from one of my job interviews in Tampa! 
Speaker 2
That's so exciting.  What do you think about the company who called back?
Speaker 1
It seems like a good company. I'm trying not to get too excited and rush into it but it's hard haha.  What do you do for a living?
Speaker 2
I teach English here in the UK.  Are you going to have to do another interview with this company?  Do you think they'll fly you down for an interview before they hire you?
Speaker 1
I think we will have to do another interview online. It seems much more efficient that way. Do you teach primary school?
Speaker 2
Yes, it's a boarding school for primary-school-aged boys.  I teach a lot of grammar, which is pretty dry.
Speaker 1
Oh yeah that isn't an easy subject either. I don't know much about how schools work there but I find the differences between there and America very interesting. Have you thought about what you might do to take a break?
Speaker 2
I'm just looking forward to the end of the school year and then I can take a holiday.  If you're situated in Florida at that point maybe I'd consider a visit.  Although Florida in the summer may be too humid for me to handle.  Otherwise I could go to the continent.  I've never been to Portugal but was thinking I should.
Speaker 1
I've never been there either. If everything goes through I should be in Florida by then. If you do decide to visit we should definitely hang out! We could go places that have air conditioning haha.
Speaker 2
Haha, yes that would be a great idea.  And I'd love to see a Tampa Rays game if you're interested in that.  But first let's just hope that the rest of the job hunting process goes to your liking.  Have you told your family about the job interview?
Speaker 1
No not yet. I want to be sure I have the job before I open up that can of worms. However, I'm not that worried about what they think after that. I need to live my own life.
Speaker 2
Yes, I agree.  It's got to be your choice and what's best for you, and based on what you've told me, getting away and establishing some more freedom and independence certainly seems like a positive change for you.  Hopefully it comes to fruition.

I got the job so we can set up a visit soon.
Speaker 2
Congratulations! When will you be moving to Tampa?
Speaker 1
Hopefully within the month. I still have to tell my family about it. I'm kind of worried about how they'll react.
Speaker 2
I'm sure your family will find a way to be happy for you. Have you thought about how you will break the news to them?
Speaker 1
Maybe after a while. I think at first they will be mad. But I have to live my own life. I haven't thought it all out yet. Maybe I'll try telling my sister first and see how she reacts.
Speaker 2
It's good that you've started to prepare yourself for their reaction, whatever it may be.  I agree that you have to live your own life, and Florida will be nice!  There's plenty of opportunities for you to take nature photographs and go to the beach!
Speaker 1
Yes, that's what drew me to Florida in the first place. And it's closer to the UK than Ohio is. Do you think you'll be able to come visit soon?
Speaker 2
Yes, I think I will be able to at the end of the school year! I need a break.  I hope to see a Tampa Bay Rays game when I come.
Speaker 1
That's great news. I look forward to showing you around. I don't know about a Rays game though. I will look into how to get some tickets. I'm not a huge sports fan, but I may turn into one! By the way, how is school going? 
Speaker 2
That's ok.  I can go by myself if you really don't want to come.  School is going well! My students are doing well in their grammar classes.
Speaker 1
Oh, no. I would definitely go with you. It would be a fun excursion. Good about your students. It must be strange to have classes with just boys, though?
Speaker 2
Sometimes they get a little rowdy, but I enjoy the friendships that I have formed with students.
