TODD
How are you doing today?
TODD
Gabrielle, I hear that you are going back home to New Zealand.
GABRIELLE
That's right. I'm going home for summer.
TODD
OK. Uh, what are your plans?
GABRIELLE
Umm… Probably a week relaxing, going camping, and then I'm going back to work.
TODD
Oh, OK. Where do you work?
GABRIELLE
Umm, I teach as an English teacher in Christchurch, in New Zealand.
TODD
Oh, OK. And that's where you're from, naturally.
TODD
Were you born there?
TODD
Ok, well, you’ll have this short little break, uh, break or vacation, uh, you’re gonna to the beach...or the mountains?
GABRIELLE
Aaah...Probably…probably to the beach and camping for about a week with friends, yeah!
TODD
Actually, how warm is it in the summer?
GABRIELLE
Mmm, Probably a maximum of 30 degrees. So it’s a nice dry heat! Very comfortable.
TODD
So when you go to the beach is the water warm enough (to swim in)?
GABRIELLE
(Oh No, no, no!) We swim but it is not warm. Yeah! It's pretty chilly actually, but...
TODD
OK. Any other plans when you go home?
GABRIELLE
Umm,Yeah, I'm looking forward to catching up with friends and family and animals.
GABRIELLE
Well, I miss my pets.
TODD
OK, well, what pets do you have?
GABRIELLE
Well, I have a cat and a dog and a sheep called Sydney and two gold fish.
GABRIELLE
Yeah! And I really miss them.
TODD
I'm sure they're really excited to see you. Alright, thanks a lot.
