Todd: Hello, Gabrielle!

Gabrielle: Hello!

Todd: How are you doing today?

Gabrielle: Good thanks.

Todd: Now, Gabrielle, 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 going go to the beach or the mountains?

Gabrielle: 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! 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: I have a cat, a dog, 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!
