英語趣味課堂：加利福尼亞人-California Guy

Todd: OK. Hello! Could you introduce yourself please?

Conrad: Yes! I'm Conrad Matsumoto. I'm from California like you, Todd. And now I'm living in Japan. I've been here about seven years.

Todd: Wow! Seven years!

Conrad: Well, maybe six.

Todd: Six.

Conrad: Yeah.

Todd: It goes by fast, huh?

Conrad: It does, doesn't it?

Todd: Yeah. Where are you from in California?

Conrad: Northern California. Uh, Stockton to be exact.

Todd: Oh, wow!

Conrad: Yeah!

Todd: That's pretty hot.

Conrad: Yeah, it gets very hot, but, um, it's more comfortable than Japan cause it's dry heat. Yeah, I know, I miss that dry heat. Why don't you tell everyone about your family? OK. Well, let's see, my older brother and younger brother, they're both married back in California. My parents are still fine. Yeah, and I'm still single.

Todd: You...you're still single?

Conrad: Yeah, I am the only one.

Todd: Yeah! Do you think you'll be single forever?

Conrad: Not forever. But I have no immediate plans to be married.

Todd: Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm kind of on the same way.

Conrad: Yeah!

Todd: We're poor English teachers. We don't have any money!

Conrad: That's right.

Todd: OK. Thanks a lot, Conrad.

Conrad: Sure.
