Music Which

part of United States are you from?

Illinois.

Oh, Illinois.

And how long have you been living in France?

Uh, four months.

How did you get so lucky to move to Paris?

I wanted to improve my French.

I work here now.

I have a job with a French marketing firm.

I work for a big marketing firm in Chicago that acquired a smaller marketing firm here.

I'm kind of like the American point of view.

Oh, so you're studying French now?

Yeah, I've been studying at my office.

Uh-huh.

Did you study French in U.S.?

I did, yeah.

Two years at high school and three years at university.

So you're pretty good at French now.

Uh, I wouldn't say that.

My spoken French isn't that great.

I'm better at reading and writing than I am at speaking.

Really?

Yeah.

So, how's the Paris office treating you?

They're a fun bunch.

I'm fitting right in.

Did you experience any culture shock when you arrived?

Uh, yeah, some.

In what way?

Manners are incredibly important for the French people.

This was one of the biggest culture shock examples in France for me.

There's always a merci or s'il vous plaît tacked on to any interaction at a store.

And people are addressed as madame or monsieur.

It's cute.

What do you like about living in France?

The food is so delicious.

I'm obsessed with French cheeses and croissants,

which are buttery, crispy and delicious for breakfast.

The fashion is so chic.

The lights, so magical.

What do you find difficult about living in France?

The language.

Even though I've studied French for five years,

I find it really hard to communicate.

I think in general French people expect the visitors to speak really good French.

And they look annoyed if you get something wrong.

What impressed you the most so far?

Everything is impressive in Paris.

The small cheese shops, meat shops,

baguette stores, wine shops, people sitting on sidewalk cafes.

Have you been to Louvre Museum?

I have.

It was excellent.

Fantastic.

Do you miss your home?

Of course.

I love France and feel grateful to have the opportunity to live here.

But at the end of the day,

there's no place like home.

Does it always rain so much here?

Yes, it usually does.

Where I'm from, it rarely storms.

Oh, it doesn't often storm here, but it rains frequently.

That's good.

I don't like storms because they usually scare me.

It's the lightning and thunder that bother me.

And the strong winds.

That's what does the damage in a storm.

I get extremely nervous.

I'm never scared of storms.

Well, what are you afraid of?

I am scared of spiders.

And how long have you had this phobia?

I've had it since I was about seven.

Did something happen to start the phobia?

I remember a very big spider in the apartment that we lived in at the time,

coming out from under the television and going across the room,

and me being absolutely terrified.

And that's the first time I remember being scared.

How does it affect your life?

In the past, it was really awful.

I mean, I couldn't sit in the same room as a spider,

and I always had to keep all the doors and windows shut,

because I was frightened that spiders might come in.

But now I can sit in the same room as a spider

and I can put it in a glass and take it outside myself if I have to.

If there's nobody else there.

So it doesn't affect me as badly as it did before,

but I still don't like them.

What other things are you afraid of?

Uh, let me think.

How about clowns?

No, clowns do not usually scare me.

What about big dogs?

Yes, big dogs always scare me.

I always get afraid whenever one of them gets too near me.

That makes two of us.

You don't look so well lately, Dan.

100

Are you okay?

101

Well, I've been feeling out of sorts lately.

102

I've not been sleeping well at all, and I can't concentrate.

103

Maybe I should see a doctor.

104

You need to take care of yourself.

105

You need to make your body strong.

106

How can I possibly do that?

107

It's not that hard.

108

First, you should eat healthy food.

109

I eat only healthy food,

110

but I still don't feel good.

111

Oh, yeah?

112

What do you eat?

113

In the morning, I eat frozen waffles, muffins, and flavored yogurt.

114

Then, at noon, I eat a hamburger or a pizza.

115

For dinner, I almost always have salty french fries with lots of ketchup.

116

Ketchup is very healthy, you know.

117

It comes from tomatoes.

118

For dessert, I eat ice cream,

119

which contains milk, so it's very healthy too.

120

That doesn't sound very healthy to me.

121

Maybe you should improve your diet.

122

Well, how should I do that?

123

First of all, maybe you can add in a big salad once a day.

124

You know, a big salad with lots of fresh vegetables.

125

Okay, I can do that, I guess.

126

I can have a big salad with lots of fresh vegetables once a day.

127

I know you have a job that requires you to sit all day.

128

Do you ever work out?

129

Unfortunately, I never find time to fit that goal into my schedule,

130

so I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle.

131

You don't need a gym membership or an exercise machine in your basement to stay active.

132

Instead of cramming into your office's crowded elevator every morning,

133

you can take the stairs!

134

Use this as an opportunity to get some exercise.

135

Park your car further away from your workplace or home to seize the chance to sneak in an extra few steps.

136

Thanks for the tips.

137

I'm sure they'll be very helpful.

138

Are you a morning person, Susan?

139

Yes, I am.

140

On weekdays, I get up very early, at 5.45.

141

Why?

142

Do you have to be at work so early?

143

No, I start work at 9.

144

So why do you wake up so early then?

145

First of all, early morning is quiet.

146

Nobody phones me at 6 a.m.

147

There aren't any important emails or messages to answer.

148

There aren't any meetings.

149

There aren't any people.

150

The morning is my time.

151

I prefer to do things in the morning when I have energy.

152

I do exercise for 30 minutes in my home gym and have a big breakfast.

153

Then I get ready for work and drive to the office.

154

When I get to the building where I work,

155

I go for a walk around a local park.

156

Then I go inside to start work at 9 o'clock.

157

And on Thursdays, I get up even earlier,

158

at 5.20am, to study German.

159

Getting up early helps me do more during the day.

160

I'm usually tired in the evening after a day at work.

161

And when I'm tired, the last thing I want to do is to exercise,

162

or to study, or to practice a musical instrument.

163

I find it impossible to get up early.

164

How can you do it?

165

You can start by setting your alarm five minutes earlier than you usually get up.

166

And the next day, set it five minutes earlier again.

167

After three weeks, you'll have nearly two hours that you never had before.

168

Getting up early is a big help if you have a lot of things to do.

169

It's better to go to bed early and have shorter evenings and longer mornings.

170

I don't think I want to change my schedule and my lifestyle.

171

I love to go to bed late and spending time watching TV,

172

seeing my friends, and spending time on social media.

173

Do you ever tell lies, Trisha?

174

I do sometimes, but only little white lies.

175

You know, like telling my sister her new hairstyle is great,

176

when I really don't like it?

177

Stuff like that.

178

Oh yeah, I also told my mom that I loved the gift she got me for my birthday,

179

even though I actually really hated it.

180

So, you've never told any bad lies?

181

Well, to tell you the truth,

182

I did tell a bad lie last year.

183

I wanted to borrow my friend Judy's blouse to wear it at my school dance,

184

but she refused to lend it to me.

185

Really?

186

Yes, but I didn't want to give up.

187

So I lied to her that I was sick and that I might have to go into the hospital the following week,

188

so I didn't know when I'd be able to go to a dance again.

189

She felt sorry for me and decided to lend me her blouse.

190

That was a bad lie indeed.

191

You're right.

192

Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, there's more.

193

I was dancing with my friends when someone bumped into me and spilled a drink all over I'm so sorry.

194

It was strawberry juice.

195

And the blouse was white!

196

Oh, what a bad luck.

197

I guess the blouse was ruined, right?

198

Exactly.

199

And not only the blouse was ruined, but our friendship too.

200

Because Judy found out that my story about the hospital was just a lie.

201

She just wouldn't let it slide.

202

That's too bad.

203

Maybe she would forgive you one day and trust you again.

204

I surely hope so.

205

I learned my lesson, though.

206

I would never lie to a friend like that ever again.

207

Did you like school, Anthony?

208

I didn't hate school, but I don't think I liked it very much.

209

I used to enjoy P.E.

210

I quite liked English and Spanish,

211

but there were lots of subjects I didn't like.

212

I didn't like math very much.

213

History was boring, and I found science difficult.

214

I had a small group of friends,

215

and I used to spend time with them,

216

talking about sport, talking about music.

217

So it wasn't too bad,

218

but I didn't like it very much.

219

What about you?

220

Did you like school?

221

Yeah, most of the time.

222

I always really looked forward to getting back to school.

223

What did you like about it?

224

Well, I had some good friends,

225

and I liked learning things.

226

But there were some subjects that I didn't like very much,

227

and I hated P.E.

228

I used to invent a lot of excuses,

229

like saying that I was ill,

230

because I didn't want to do it.

231

Elementary school was all fun,

232

and we had great teachers.

233

High school was harder work,

234

and we used to have lots of exams and tests.

235

But we had really inspiring teachers My favorites were in math and biology And overall,

236

yeah, I really liked it Did you have a favorite or least favorite teacher at school?

237

Yes, I liked the Spanish teacher

238

She was my favorite teacher because she was Spanish And she taught us to speak with a very good Spanish accent

239

Did she inspire you?

240

She did, and I'm still learning Spanish And I go to Spain pretty often What's your biggest regret about school?

241

Well, I wish I'd been more involved in school clubs

242

Our school had lots of clubs Where you could do things Like dance,

243

or learn to play an instrument Or play chess,

244

things like that It's a shame,

245

because I would have learned Some really useful skills,

246

I'm sure
