Speaker 1
I am all packed and ready to start moving to the Spanish District!  It took a long time to organize my stuff
Speaker 2
I bet! If it were me I probably would have spent half the time I was packing looking at my cats!
Speaker 1
Well, what better way to pass the time? I just wish this process could be a little faster! 
Speaker 2
I'd be happy to help you unpack at your new place. Just promise me a nice, cold iced tea and I'll be good to go.
Speaker 1
Oh, that sounds wonderful! What's your favorite kind of iced tea? I never did like the flavors, but I know many do. :) 
Speaker 2
Lipton! Can't beat a classic.
Speaker 1
You're right about that, and thanks so much for offering to help me unpack. I'll definitely have some yummy tea ready! 
Speaker 2
Sweet! Literally. I think this move is going to be a great move for you. Haha get it?
Speaker 1
Oh, that's was awesome! So, besides helping me and my moving mess, what are your summer plans? 
Speaker 2
Sadly, mainly working. I'm hoping to take a trip to some city with a massive zoo once my finances are in order though.
Speaker 1
Oh, that would be so good for you! I hope to see lots of fun zoos and parks in my new district. When you are able, would you like to come visit with me and we can tour all the zoos and parks we can fit in a trip? 
Speaker 2
I would love that. It sounds a wonderful adventure with you.

Speaker 2
Her name is Baby. I named her kitten Boo Boo. Do you have any cats?
Speaker 1
Super cute! I don’t have any yet but I’d love to... Maybe in a few years!
Speaker 2
Sure you don't want one sooner? lol  You'll have to let me know if you have a zoo where you move. It would be a lot of fun to come visit and go to the zoo!
Speaker 1
Actually there is a huge zoo just a few miles from my place. We should definitely plan on a visit soon- a weekend that works for both of us will be purrrfect!
Speaker 2
Ha Ha. I'm free every weekend for the next couple of months. Just let me know when you want me to come. I've got to send you a picture of my new hair color.  
Speaker 1
How about next Saturday? I’ll have the iced tea ready ;) What color did you dye your hair?!
Speaker 2
I look forward to it! Well, not only did I go shorter, I was very bold and went Pink! Can you believe it? Pink!
Speaker 1
Omg... lol... can’t wait to see the pic! Pink!! Really?! You are bold... gotta give you that!
Speaker 2
Thank goodness it washes out lol. I'm not bold enough for the permanent stuff.  
Speaker 1
Enjoy it while it lasts... I bet you’ll be ready for another funky color before this one has faded out! By the way you’re most welcome to bring Baby and Boo Boo with you next Saturday.
Speaker 2
I'm thinking about blue for the next time. Thanks. You'll enjoy Boo Boo, he's a mess!

I am moving to the Spanish District. I hope there are a lot of zoos and parks in my new district. There is a zoo close to where I live.

I have a female cat.  My female cat just gave birth to 1 kitten. I have two cats. One cat is named Baby. One kitten is named Boo Boo. I live in the city.  I do not like the country.  I grew up in Tallahassee. I am finished with school. I just cut and dyed my hair. I like going to the zoo. My favorite iced tea is Lipton. My summer plans are working and taking a trip to a city with a big zoo. I recently dyed my hair. I cut my hair shorter recently. My hair is colored pink. My hair is not permanently dyed. I am free every weekend for the next couple of months.
Speaker 1
Let's plan a time to go to the zoo since you are free for the next few weeks.
Speaker 2
Sounds like a great plan! Let's visit the zoo after you get all settled into your new place. How long can you stay at the zoo? Will it be an all day trip? I sure hope so.
Speaker 1
I can probably stay at the zoo the whole day.  How do you want to get there?  We could take the bus or I could see in one of my parents could take us.
Speaker 2
Let's take the bus! I do not want your parents to have to drive all that way, and then we won't feel rushed either. I am really looking forward to seeing the baby lions that were just born. Which exhibit do you want to see?
Speaker 1
I want to see the big cats - the lions and tigers.  How about you?
Speaker 2
I definitely want to see the big cats too, that will have to be our very first stop. I think the zoo has recently released a new amphibian and reptile exhibit which will be  nice to check out. 
Speaker 1
Those aren't my favorite animals, but that's okay.  At least I'm not afraid of snakes like some people.
Speaker 2
Oh okay, we can skip it if you will feel scared. I know that there is another zoo in the next city over. Maybe we could visit that sometime over the summer as well? I have every weekend off this summe.
Speaker 1
That sounds like a plan.  I'll have to see which weekends work for me.
Speaker 2
Okay, I hope that you will be able to visit the additional zoo with me. Zoo's and animals have been a big bonding point within our relationship. We could even get annual passes to the zoo and then visit as many times a year as we would like. Is that something that you may be interested in?
Speaker 1
Maybe, I'll have to see if I can afford it.  Hopefully, I will find a part time job for the summer.
Speaker 2
I hope that you are able to find a part time job. It should be easy since there are so many places hiring right now.

Speaker 1
The baby lions looks so cute, I wish i could play with it. 
Speaker 2
I think any baby animal looks quite cute, really. Except baby insects. They're just creepy. How about you? Which baby animals are your favorites?
Speaker 1
I think baby elephants are sweet.  And elephants are such social animals and help take care of each other.  I've been seeing a lot of praying mantis in our garden this year. 
Speaker 2
Do praying mantis damage plants? I always feel like they're so rare that I've never learned much about them.
Speaker 1
No, they eat other insects.  They have giant front legs to snatch them fast.  They're green.  One fall there were a dead one on our front steps that was over 3 inches long.
Speaker 2
Wow. Good thing they're skinny, or they'd be much scarier. By the way, are you finished packing for your move? I bet it's stressful.
Speaker 1
No, I'm not done.  I'm pretty excited but my mom is stressing out!  Was it stressful leaving Tallahassee?
Speaker 2
Yeah, it was, though not because of the packing. It was just the anxiety of having to get used to a new place. Are you nervous?
Speaker 1
Not really.  I would be nervous if I wasn't finished with school.  I guess I'm somewhat nervous about finding a job.  Did it take you long to get used to your new location?
Speaker 2
I'd say it took a few months, but it helped to join some local events in the beginning. I was able to meet people in a swing dance class, believe it or not. I still talk to some of those people. Maybe you could look online for fun local classes.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I am not sure what swing dance is but I'm interested in ballroom dancing.
Speaker 2
Swing is a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of energy because it's pretty active. Ballroom sounds fun to try. I feel like it's less forgiving of mistakes, though, so you have to look more elegant. Do you like any other types of dance?
