Hi, I'm John. Nice to meet you. Hi John, I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you too! Where do you live, Sarah? I live in Fukuoka, Japan. How about you? I live in the United States. Nice to see you! You too! It's been a while since we last talked. How are you? I'm good, thank you. How about you? I'm doing well too. Let's have a great lesson today! Hi! Where are you from? I'm from Fukuoka. What about you? I live in New York. That sounds interesting. What kind of city is your city? It's a big city with lots of people and tall buildings. How about Fukuoka? Fukuoka is a middle size city. It is seaside and also is surrounded by mountains. What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy coding and reading English books. And also watching videos on YouTube. That sounds interesting! What kind of books do you like? I like science fiction and mystery novels for English learners. Those are not long and difficult. I always choose short stories in the library. Me too! We should exchange book recommendations sometime. Do you have any plans for your next vacation? Yes, I'm thinking of going to Shikoku. That's a great choice! Have you been there before? Yes, I have. But this time I want to explore more other places like a famous shrine. What about you? Have you ever been to Japan? Yes, I went last year and loved it! Do you want to go out for dinner tonight? Sure! Where do you want to eat? Anything is ok with me. What kind of food are you in the mood for? I feel like having Italian food. Great choice! Let's go to that new Italian restaurant downtown. Have you watched any good movies recently? Yes, I just watched Makoto Shinkai's new movie. That movie is amazing! What did you think of it? I was really moved by it. It has a little scary episode but I love it. And also the music and the theme song were great! I agree. We should watch more movies like that together. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. How about you? Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you clearly. Great! Let's start our conversation. Sure thing! What do you want to talk about today? How about we talk about our hobbies? Hi, how are you today? I'm good, thank you. But I can't hear you very well. Oh, sorry about that. Let me check my microphone settings. Okay, please do it. I think it might be a bit quiet on your end. Alright, let's try again. Can you hear me now? Yes, there is a noise but much better! Thank you for fixing it. Hi, can you see me? Yes, I can see you. How are you today? I'm good, thank you! Can you hear me clearly? Yes, your voice is clear. Is everything okay on your side? Yes, everything is fine. Let's start our lesson. Sounds great! What would you like to talk about first? Hi there! How are you today? I'm good, thank you. This is my first lesson in a long time. That's great to hear! Are you excited to start learning again? Yes, I am. I hope I can remember everything. Don't worry, we'll take it step by step. What do you want to focus on today? I think I need some practice with basic conversation. Perfect! Let's get started. How about we begin with a simple greeting? Hi, it's been a while since our last lesson. How have you been? Hi! Yes, it has been a long time. I've been good, thank you. How about you? I'm doing well too. Can you see me? Yes, I can see you clearly. Let's start our lesson. Sounds great! What would you like to talk about first? How about we review some basic phrases? Hi, how are you? I'm good, thank you. How about you? I'm fine too. By the way, do you have any pets? Yes, I have a cat. That's nice! What is your cat's name? Her name is Luna. She is very friendly. I love cats too. Although I'd like to have one, I can't because I live in an apartment. My apartment prohibits having pets like dogs or cats. So I have a pet fish instead. Hi! Let's start our online English lesson. Hi! That sounds great. I'm ready to begin. Okay, let me share my screen so we can practice together. Wait a minute. Something is wrong with the internet connection. Oh no, that's inconvenient. Let me check mine too. Thanks! Hopefully, it will be fixed soon. Hi! I'm having some trouble with my computer. Can you help me? Of course! What seems to be the problem? My screen is frozen, and I can't do anything. That sounds frustrating. Have you tried restarting your computer? No, not yet. Please let me restart my computer. Go ahead and try that. If it doesn't work, we can look for other solutions. Hi, John! I have a question. What will you do next month? Let me think for a while. Sure, take your time. I think my family is going to travel to Kansai.
