Describing People's Looks.
Script.
George: Hey, what are you looking at?
Nancy: Oh, these? They’re pictures from my trip back home last month.
George: Let’s have a look. So, who’s this?
Nancy: That’s my sister and that’s my cousin Keira.
George: Your sister looks nothing like you. You’re fair and she has dark hair and dark eyes. Now, you look much more like your cousin.
Nancy: Yeah, that’s true. Keira and I both have heart-shaped faces, thin lips, fat cheeks, and bushy eyebrows. Gorgeous!
George: You don’t give yourself enough credit. Why do you think every one of your guy friends is interested in you? Hey, who’s the little girl?
Nancy: Oh, that’s my cousin Adriano’s daughter. She’s seven. She’s very pretty as you can see and has the most beautiful wavy hair. That’s her baby brother who was just born in April.
George: Oh, man, he’s so cute. That pudgy face, curly hair, and big eyes! He’s adorable.
Nancy: Yeah, I think he looks just like me.
George: Hmmm…I think I’d better stop complimenting you. It’s going straight to your head.

I got a call yesterday from Amy, a co-worker from the office. She and I work in the same department. We’ve had lunch at work a few times, but I really didn’t know her that well. I was really glad that she called.
Kevin: Hello?
Amy: Hi. Could I speak to Kevin?
Kevin: This is Kevin.
Amy: Oh, Hi, it’s Amy from work
Kevin: Oh, hey. How’s it going? I didn’t recognize your voice.
Amy: Not bad. Listen, the reason I’m calling is that I’m having a dinner party a week from Saturday at my place around 7:30. I wanted to see if you could make it.
Kevin: SO, it’s not this Saturday, but the Saturday after that. That would be the seventeenth.
Amy: Yeah, that’s right, the following Saturday, the 17th.
Kevin:Let me jus check my calendar…yeah, I think I can make it. Are you inviting anyone else from work?
Amy:Yeah, I am. Jennifer from Marketing already RSVPd so she’ll be there for sure. And I’m waiting to hear back from James in accounting. I’ve also invited a few other friends.
Kevin: Just out of curiosity, are they in finance too?
Amy: No, my friend Janice is in the medical field. She’s an orthopedic surgeon. She’s bringing her boyfriend Tim and I think he’s an engineer in the automobile industry. Then there’s Megan, she works part time in retail and moonlights as a tour guide on the weekends. She’s been wanting to get into the hospitality industry for a long time.
Kevin: Wow, that sounds like a great group of people. I’m looking forward to it. Can I bring anything?
Amy: No, that’s OK. Just come and bring your appetite.
Kevin: Sounds great. Thanks for the invitation.
Amy: No problem. I’m glad you can make it. See you in the office tomorrow.
Kevin: See you then. Bye.

Extra work: Life in Japan.
Script.
At the moment I'm living in Japan and um... life here is pretty different to um... anything I've really experienced before. Uh... I think just because the daily routine is so different. Um... in England, in England, basically I was really lazy. Um... I'd probably you know... get up at 8:30 in the morning. Uh... Leave ten minutes later, cause I always uh... brush my teeth at work, eat breakfast at work, get to work for 9 o'clock, come home from work at 5:30, probably lie on the sofa, maybe watch Simpsons, cook some food, go to bed, and that was the sort of daily routine in England, a very lazy one. I mean, even if I needed to get to the supermarket which was probably what, like 3-400 meters away, I'd get on my scooter to do it.
Walking anywhere would be just a massive hassle and uh... so it was a bit of a shock when I got to Japan and all that changed, I mean, the one thing you have to do a lot of in Tokyo is walk. You have to walk everywhere. I mean the train systems are absolutely amazing but you need to walk to get to the trains. You need to walk in between the trains and like when I first arrived, I just ... I walked my feet into the ground. Um... after a week they were aching so badly. After two weeks, they were just I don't know, it took me at least a month to like wear my feet in. They're still, still like now, after long walks...
But it's just apart from the walking, you just, it's just the busy-ness of life here, I mean cause no one actually lives in Tokyo um... cause it's so expensive. Uh... we all live out sort of in the suburbs in what we call bed towns, and um... so actually getting into school every morning, I'm studying Japanese here, uh... I have to get up pretty early just to get onto the train, to then travel, commute, an hour in, um... to get to school on time, which of course I never do. I'm meant to be at school at about nine, which would mean, sort of leaving my house at about 8, getting up at 7. I know this is not shocking for a lot of people, but after the routine I had, it's a pretty shocking experience for me, uh... especially the hour of commute in on the train where you're kept in like sardines, something that... you just would never have in uh... sort of London and London Underground in England where I'm from.
Um... on the London Underground if the train's full of people wait for the next train. Here if the train is full, people just push and push until they get on so you can end up being stood, never get to sit down, just standing for an hour, like squashed up, like sardines, so by the time you even get to school you're totally tired. And then there's uh... school until lunch time and after lunch I always... always say I'm going to come back and study but I never do I always just come back and fall fast asleep.
You know listening to uh... Eli talk about uh... how she had to adjust to life in Japan uh... brings back some uh... good memories about uh... me when I first came to live here in Japan myself. And uh... it's been so long now I've been living here that... 15 years that uh.. that... something that I hardly ever think about adjusting to life here. But then again sometimes I say to myself I've been living here 15 years and that’ hard to realize I can’t believe I’ve been here that long.
