M: Hey, how are you? You look good!
W: Hi, Mike. Nice to see you here. I’m good. Thanks.
M: Where have you been? I remember the last time we met was ten years ago.
W: Right, and by the way, you haven’t changed a lot.
M: Really? Good to hear that. Where have you been?
W: America, actually.
M: Tell me something about it.
W: Of course, what do you want to know?
M: OK. When did you go to the U. S. ?
W:(1)It’s about 4 years ago.
M: And what did you do?
W: Actually, I went to Michigan and I worked as a volunteer teacher in a public school.
M: Volunteer teacher? You mean without pay?
W: Actually not, but we received allowance from the local government.
M: OK. What was the public school like?
W: It was not big. I don’t know how to say that...
M: It was just a small school?
W:(2)Yeah. Small school, only maybe 200 students, I think.
M: Wow, that is small.
W: Yeah, it was really small.
M: Did you know all the students?
W: I don’t think so. I just visited some classes.
M: So what did you think of America?
W:(3)I think it is a great country for many people who want to try new things.
M: OK.
W: You know, for example, I did not have any special skills to teach, but they let me work there as a volunteer, and they gave me a great opportunity to meet a lot of students, who are really nice, I think.
M: Ah, OK. I agree. What were your students like?
W:(4)They were really motivated to learn Japanese, but they didn’t learn a lot. They just wanted to play with me who is from another country.
M: OK. Do you have any special memories from your trip?
W:(5)Yes, I visited lots of places by myself and I was really afraid of speaking English to people there, but they tried to understand me, and they helped me a lot. I really think there are lots of people who are nice all over the world.
M: So you seem to enjoy the trip to America a lot. I am happy to hear that.
W: You are right. I do think that it has been one of the most valuable experiences in my whole life. We need something like that in our life, don’t we?
M: Yeah, of course. Well, thanks for sharing your story.
W: And thanks a lot for listening and talking with me. See you next time!
