Conversation 1: Thiago and Jasmine

Thiago: Hi, I’m Thiago.

Jasmine: Jasmine, nice to meet you.

Thiago: You too. How long was your trip?

Jasmine: About an hour. 

Thiago: Sean says you’re American. Where are you from? 

Jasmine: That’s right. I’m from Boston. I went to university there. Do you know it? 

Thiago: No, I’ve never been, but I’d like to.  

Jasmine: Thiago, that’s a Brazilian name, isn’t it?

Thiago: It is. My father’s from Brazil, but I’m Italian. So, do you know Orla?

Jasmine: Yeah, I met her at the interview. She’s really nice. Hey, what do you know about working at TGC?

Thiago: Not much.

Conversation 2: Alex and Azra

Alex: So, I heard you come from Turkey. Whereabouts?

Azra: Well, I was born in Istanbul, but my parents moved to London when I was five. We go back quite often to see family. Do you know Turkey?

Alex: A little. I went there on holiday about three years ago. Which do you prefer, London or Istanbul?

Azra: Hmm. That’s difficult. I love them both. No more difficult questions, I promise. We’re supposed to be relaxing.

Alex: No problem.
