Todd: OK. Hello!

 

Nicola: Hello!

 

Todd: Hi. What is your name?

 

Nicola: My name's Nicola.

 

Todd: OK, Nicola. Where are you from?

 

Nicola: I'm from Australia.

 

Todd: Australia! Great! And where are you from in Australia?

 

Nicola: I'm from a state called Queensland.

 

Todd: OK. What is Queensland like?

 

Nicola: It's pretty hot. There's a lot of beaches and a lot of rainforests.

 

Todd: Oh, rainforests, really!

 

Nicola: Yeah!

 

Todd: Do you go in the rainforest often?

 

Nicola: Occasionally my friends and I go hiking there, but not that often.

 

Todd: OK. Are there really big snakes?

 

Nicola: Ahhhh..I haven't seen any yet.

 

Todd: OK, that's good. That's good. How do you feel about Australia?

 

Nicola: It's a beautiful place to live. I like travelling, so I like seeing other countries. But when I go home I am always happy to be there. OK. Yeah, that's nice. I kind of feel the same way about America.

 

Nicola: Mm.

 

Todd: How would you compare Australia and Japan?

 

Nicola: They are very different. Japanese people are quite busy, Australians are pretty laid back. OK. OK. I see we're just about out of time so anyway thanks.

 

Nicola: OK. Thank you.
