Todd: Hello, Gabrielle!
Gabrielle: Hello!
Todd: How are you doing today?
Gabrielle: Good thanks.
Todd: Now, Grabrielle, I hear that you are going back home to New Zealand
Gabrielle: That's right. I'm going home for summer.
Todd: OK. What are your plans?
Gabrielle: Probably a week relaxing, going camping, and then I'm going back to work.
Todd: Oh, OK. Where do you work?
Gabrielle: I teach as an English teacher in Christchurch, in New Zealand.
Todd: Oh, OK. And that's where you're from, naturally.
Gabrielle: That's right.
Todd: Were you born there?
Gabrielle: I was, yeah!
Todd: Well, you are going to have this short little break, or vacation, are you
gonna go to the beach...the mountains?
Gabrielle: Probably..probably to the beach and camping for about a week with friends, yeah!
Todd: Actually, how warm is it in the summer?
Gabrielle: Probably a maximum of about 30 degrees. A nice dry heat! Very comfortable.
Todd: So when you go to the beach is the water warm enough to swim in?
Gabrielle: No, no, no! We swim but it is not warm. Yeah! It's pretty chilly actually.
Todd: OK. Any other plans when you go home?
Gabrielle: Yeah, I'm looking forward to catching up with friends and family and animals.
Todd: 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.
Todd: Wow!
Gabrielle: Yeah! And I really miss them.
Todd: I'm sure they're really excited to see you. Alright, thanks a lot.
Gabrielle: Cheers!
