Sam: Hi! Can I sit here?
Laura: Sure.
Sam: What’s your name?
Laura: I’m Laura, what’s your name?
Sam: I’m Sam. Nice to meet you.
Laura: Nice to meet you too! Where are you from?
Sam: I’m from Springfield, what about you?
Laura: I’m from Australia.
Sam: Wow, that’s really far away! How old are you?
Laura: I’m nineteen, you?
Sam: I’m twenty. What are you doing so far away from home?
Laura: Well, my parents and I moved to New York a few years ago. I graduated from high school and I wanted to stay in America for college.
Sam: What an adventure! This is my first time out of my hometown. Springfield is a small town and I have a lot of brothers and sisters so I always had to help take care of them.
Laura: How many siblings?
Sam: I have four sisters and three brothers.
Laura: Oh wow! That’s a lot! I can’t imagine. I’m an only child.
Sam: Well, it can be a handful sometimes but I love them all. It must be nice to have so much time to yourself at home.
Laura: It’s ok, I can practice my music whenever I want to so, that’s nice.
Sam: Music? What kind of music?
Laura: I play the clarinet, piano and guitar. I love to write music and then record myself playing it.
Sam: Wow that’s really cool! I like music too, but I can’t really play anything. I try to play to the bass guitar, but I’m not really that good.
Laura: Well, maybe we can play together sometime!
Sam: That would be really great! Thanks!
Laura: You’re welcome. Well, nice to meet you Sam. I gotta go now!
Sam: Ok Laura. See ya soon.
Laura: See ya!
