family is what truly matters.
Hey dude, I've heard it's all changed for you.
Yes, absolutely.
I've got big plans in the pipeline.
I don't know if it's entirely the right decision, but I do know I can't carry on in this job.
I feel like it's dragging me into the ground.
I know that feeling.
When I was at university, the idea of being high up in a company such as this sounded powerful and appealing.
But now I'm here, all I want is for it all to stop.
It's affecting my marriage, and I hardly see my children.
I can't remember the last time I was home early enough to put them to bed.
That's tough.
I think it's great you've evaluated everything and are willing to make changes.
What are you going to do differently in your new job?
I want to have more flexibility and control over my schedule.
I want to be able to attend my children's school events and have dinner with my family every night.
That sounds like a great plan.
What other activities are you planning to do with your family?
I want to take them on more vacations.
and spend quality time with them on the weekends.
I also want to start a family game night every week to build a strong bond with them.
Those are great ideas.
It's important to make time for your family and build those memories together.
Definitely, I've realized that work is not everything.
And my family is what truly matters.
I couldn't agree more.
You won't regret this decision.
So when do you finish here?
We need to send you off in style.
I've still got to work my notice until the end of the month, so we've got time to organize something yet.
Great.
Leave it to me.
Winter vacation.
Hey, how was your winter vacation?
It was amazing.
I went to Vienna, Austria.
That sounds incredible.
What did you do there?
We went ice skating and skiing in the Alps.
and visited the Schönbrunn Palace.
We also had lots of Austrian food, like schnitzel and strudel.
But the best part of my vacation was seeing the beautiful architecture in Vienna.
I loved exploring the city.
Sounds like you had a blast!
I visited my grandparents in Lake Forest, Illinois.
That sounds nice.
What did you do there?
We went to the Winter Farmer's Market, visited the Wildlife Discovery Center, and had some mouth-watering deep-dish pizza.
Sounds like you had a great time with your grandparents.
I did, but I wish I could have gone skiing in the Alps like you.
You should visit Austria next time.
I love spending time with my family and trying new things.
I agree.
It's essential to explore new places and create memories.
Exactly.
And Austria has the best schnitzel.
You have to try it.
Challenge accepted.
The Lake Forest has the best pizza.
Just saying.
I hope you get better soon.
Hey, how are you feeling?
I heard you've been really sick.
Oh yeah, it's been brutal.
I've got the flu and it feels like my body's been hit by a bus.
That sounds terrible.
What are your symptoms?
Well, I've got a fever, chills, body aches, a headache, and a cough that won't quit.
Oh, and let's not forget the sneezing and runny nose.
Wow, that's a lot.
Have you seen a doctor?
Yeah, I have.
They gave me some medication, but it's going to take some time to recover fully.
You almost never get sick.
What's your secret?
I try to boost my immunity naturally by eating the right foods and living a healthy lifestyle.
What are the best foods for boosting immunity?
Foods high in vitamin C, like oranges and kiwis, and foods high in zinc, like spinach and beans, are great for boosting immunity.
What about supplements?
Supplements like vitamin D and probiotics can also help strengthen your immune system.
What lifestyle changes can I make to be more healthy?
Getting enough sleep, managing stress, and exercising regularly can help boost immunity.
Thanks for the advice.
I appreciate all the tips.
You're welcome.
I hope you get better soon.
Customs and etiquette.
I'm planning a trip to Dubai with my husband soon.
And I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about the customs there.
Sure.
Dubai is a Muslim country, so it's essential to dress modestly and avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially when visiting mosques and other religious sites.
Okay, I'll make sure to pack appropriately.
What about behavior?
Are there any specific things I should or shouldn't do?
Yes, it's important to be respectful of the local culture, avoid public displays of affection, and refrain from consuming alcohol in public places.
I see.
What about tipping in Dubai?
Tipping is common in Dubai.
especially in restaurants and hotels.
It's usually around 10% of the total bill.
Thanks for all the information.
You're welcome.
Anything else I should know before visiting?
It's important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, including during the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn until dusk.
It's also important to avoid public displays of anger or frustration, as it's seen as disrespectful.
Thank you so much for all this information.
I feel much better prepared for my trip to Dubai now.
You're welcome.
I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy all that Dubai has to offer.
I want you to feel at home.
Hey, welcome to Atlanta.
Hi, thanks.
I'm so excited to be here.
I'm your new roommate.
My name is Olivia.
Nice to meet you, Olivia.
I'm Martha.
Nice to meet you too.
How was your trip?
It was good.
A little long, but I made it here safe and sound.
That's great to hear.
So, have you had a chance to explore the area yet?
Not yet.
Do you have any recommendations for places to eat or things to do?
Absolutely.
There's a great Mexican restaurant down the street that you have to try.
There's also a cafeteria in the student center.
They offer affordable meals and have a wide variety of options.
And there's a park nearby that's perfect for hanging out on a nice day.
That sounds awesome.
What about shopping?
There is a great mall in the area that has everything you need.
And if you're looking for something specific,
There's a big outdoor market on the weekends.
That's good to know.
Is there a laundromat nearby to wash my clothes?
Sure.
There's a laundromat on the corner of 5th and Main.
It's affordable and convenient.
Sounds great.
What are the means of transportation to reach my college faster?
You can take the bus or the subway.
You can buy a monthly pass to save money.
Thanks, you've been really helpful.
No problem.
I want you to feel at home here.
I already feel at home with you as my roommate.
That's great to hear.
We're gonna have a lot of fun together.
At the beauty salon.
Hello!
Hi, how can I help you?
I have acne and deteriorated hair, and I need some treatments.
Sure, we can help you with that.
Can you tell me about your skin and hair problems?
My skin is often oily and appears shiny.
I've been struggling with acne for years now, and it's getting worse.
And my hair is dry and brittle, and I have split ends.
Acne-prone skin requires special treatment.
First, you need to avoid touching your face, especially with dirty hands.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
What about my diet?
Does it affect my skin?
Yes, it does.
You should avoid sugary and greasy foods.
Instead, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water.
Got it.
And what about skincare products?
What should I use?
You should use products that will help unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
Also, make sure to moisturize your skin daily.
For acne, we have special treatments, such as chemical peels and laser therapy.
And for your hair, we can offer deep conditioning treatments, hair masks, and trims to get rid of split ends.
That's fantastic to hear.
We're here to help you achieve healthy, beautiful skin and hair.
How does it work?
Hi, I'm looking for a new vacuum cleaner.
Can you show me a few models?
Of course!
We have three models here that I can show you.
This one is the most popular and has a strong suction power.
How does it work?
It's simple.
You just plug it in, press the button, and start vacuuming.
What about this one?
This one is a bit more expensive, but it has a HEPA filter that traps allergens and dust particles.
It's great for people with allergies.
How do I use it?
It's easy.
You just need to attach the hose and the accessories, and then you can start vacuuming.
The HEPA filter is washable and reusable.
What about this one?
This one is the most expensive, but it's also the most powerful.
It has a motorized brush that's great for cleaning carpets and upholstery.
How do I use it?
It's easy.
You just need to plug it in, press the button, and start vacuuming.
The motorized brush will do the rest.
I think I'll go with this one.
It's exactly what I need.
Great choice.
It's a reliable and powerful vacuum cleaner that will last you for years.
How's your new apartment?
Hi, mom.
Hey, David.
How's your new apartment?
Are you enjoying it so far?
Yeah, I love it.
It's small, but cozy.
The kitchen is nice, and the appliances are pretty new.
That's great to hear.
What about the area?
Is it safe?
It's a safe area.
And I have friendly neighbors.
They're quiet, and I haven't had any issues so far.
That's good.
What about restaurants or cafes nearby?
Where do you eat?
There's a great cafe down the street that I go to for breakfast.
And there's a restaurant nearby that I like for dinner.
Sounds nice.
What about your spare time?
What do you do for fun?
I usually go for a run in the park nearby.
Or meet up with friends at the bar down the street.
There's always something to do.
That's great.
You've already made new friends, huh?
Yeah.
I've met a few people at the bar and the cafe.
They're all really cool, and we've hung out a few times.
That's wonderful.
I'm so happy you're enjoying your new place and making new friends.
Thanks, Mom.
I'm really happy here.
I'm freezing in my apartment.
Hi there, Bee.
I got your message.
Did you ask me to come around?
Yes, I did.
I tried calling and messaging, but it hasn't worked, so I thought this might be better.
Okay, what's the problem?
I'm really freezing in my apartment.
The heating and hot water aren't working properly.
This month, I've had one hot shower.
That's not on.
I promise we'll fix the problem soon.
In the meantime, have you tried wearing extra layers or using a space heater?
I've tried everything, but nothing works.
Plus, it's not fair that I have to pay for extra heating and hot water when I'm already paying rent.
I understand your frustration, but please give us some time to fix the problem.
We'll do our best to make your living condition comfortable.
It's been a month since I reported this problem.
I'm so cold and I'm practically turning into a human popsicle.
I'm sorry about that.
We've been really busy with other apartment repairs, but we'll get to yours as soon as possible.
You need to call a boiler engineer this afternoon to check the system over and organize anything that needs fixing or replacing.
If not, the other six students in the house and I will not pay the next rent installment, and we'll find somewhere else to live.
I understand.
I'll make this my priority.
That would be great.
Thank you.
