Sam: Hi. my name is Sam

Lisa: Hi. I’m Lisa. It’s nice to meet you.

Sam: Nice to meet you too. Where are you from?

Lisa: I’m from Boston. How about you?

Sam: I’m from Québec. So, how long have you been here?

Lisa: Just one day. I still have a little jet lag.

Sam: Me too. I got in yesterday morning. So, we need to ask each other about a hobby. What do you like to do in your free time?

Lisa: I spend a lot of time outdoors. I love to hike. When I’m indoors, I like to surf the Internet.

Sam: Me too. I’m studying Italian right now. There are a lot of good websites for learning languages on the Internet.

Lisa: I know. I find a good one for Japanese. I’m trying to learn a little. Now, when I introduce you to the group, I have to write your full name on the board. What’s your last name, and how do you spell it?

Sam: It’s Sanchez. S-A-N-C-H-E-Z.

Lisa: My last name is Paterson − with one “t”: P-A-T-E-R-S-O-N.

Sam: It looks like our time is up. Thanks. It’s been nice talking to you.

Lisa: I enjoyed it too.
