Man: On, I’m really sorry. Are you OK?
Woman: I’m fine. But I’m not very good at this.
Man: Neither am I. Say, are you from south America?
Woman: Yes, I am originally. I was born in Argentina.
Man: Did you grow up there?
Woman: Yes, I did. But my family moved here eight years ago when I was in high school.
Man: And where did you learn the rollerblade?
Woman; Here in the park. This is only my second time.
Man: Well, it’s my first time. Can you give me some lessons?
Woman: Sure, just follow me
Man: By the way. My name is Ted.
Woman: And I’m Anna. Nice to meet you.
Man: Hey, hey! That was fun. Thanks for the lesson.
Woman: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do?
Man: I work in a travel agency.
Woman: Really? What do you do there?
Man: I’m in charge of puters.
Woman: Oh, so you’re puter specialist?
Man: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.
Woman: That’s great. Then maybe you can give me some help with puter courses I’m taking.

Woman: Hmm…It’s a deal.
第二篇
Reporter: Where are you from originally, Yu Hong.
Yu Hong: I’m from China, from near Shanghai.
Reporter: And when did you move here.
Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992.
Reporter: And what do you do now?
Yu Hong: I’m a transportation engineer.
Reporter: I see. So you’re an immigrant to the United State?
Yu Hong: Yes, that’s right.
Reporter: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the US?
Yu Hong: Oh, that’s not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the most difficulties is that I don’t have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends. But that’s not the same thing. In China, on holidays or the weekend, we visit the relatives. It isn’t the same here.
Reporter: And what do you miss the most from home?
Yu Hong: Oh, that’s easy. My mom’s soup. She makes great soup. I really miss my mother
