Nicola: I'm gonna laugh.

Todd: OK. Hello?

Nicola: Hello!

Todd: Hi. What is your name?

Nicola: My name's Nicola.

Todd: OK, Nicola. Where are you from?

Nicola: I'm from Australia.

Todd: Australia. Great! And where are you from in Australia?

Nicola: I'm from a state called Queensland.

Todd: OK. What is Queensland like?

Nicola: It's pretty hot. There's a lot of beaches and a lot of rainforests.

Todd: Oh.. rainforests, really?

Nicola: Yeah!

Todd: Do you go in the rainforest often?

Nicola: Occasionally, my friends and I go hiking there but not that often.

Todd: OK. Are there really big snakes?

Nicola: I haven't seen any yet.

Todd: OK, that's good. How do you feel about Australia?

Nicola: It's a beautiful place to live. I like travelling, so I like seeing other countries. But when I go home I am always happy to be there. OK. Yeah, that's nice. I kind of feel the same way about America.

Nicola: Mm.

Todd: How would you compare Australia and Japan?

Nicola: They are very different. Japanese people are quite busy, Australians are pretty laid back. OK. I see we're just about out of time so anyway thanks.

Nicola: OK. Thank you.
