| Sara: | Thomas engleza ta este buna. Cum ai invatat-o?
Thomas your English is so good. How did you learn it?
|
| Thomas: | Ei bine, in tara mea toata lumea incepe sa invete engleza din prima clasa. Am luat cursuri de engleza de 12 ani.
Well, in my country everyone has to take English starting in the first grade. I`ve been taking English courses for 12 years now.
|
| Sara: | wow, asta e interesant. Imi amintesc cand am fost in acea excursie si ti-am vizitat familia. Se parea ca nu erau multi oameni care sa vorbeasca cu mine in engleza
Wow, that`s interesting. I remember when we took that trip last year and visited your family. It seemed like there weren`t many people that could speak with me in English.
|
| Thomas: | Oh, asta pentru ca ei nu vorbesc engleza prea mult
Oh, that`s because they don`t speak English that much.
|
| Sara: | Dar ei o vorbesc in scoala ,nu? Poate nu m-au placut si de aceea nu au vrut sa vorbeasca cu mine
But they speak it in school, right?Maybe they just didn`t like me so they didn`t want to talk to me.
|
| Thomas: | Nu, de fapt te-au placut mult. Mi-au spus ca au crezut ca esti foarte draguta. Sunt doar timizi. Nu sunt obisnuiti sa vorbeasca cu straini. Imi amintesc cand am venit prima data in SUA ca eram foarte speriat sa vorbesc cu oamenii
No, actually they liked you a lot. They told me they thought you were very nice. They are just shy. They`re not use to talking with foreigners. I remember when I first came to the U.S. I was really nervous about speaking with people.
|
| Sara: | Inteleg. Credeam ca sunt multi Americani care invata engleza in tara ta
I see. I thought there were lots of Americans teaching English in your country.
|
| Thomas: | Da, e adevarat. Sunt probabil de doua ori mai multe acum decat erau acum 5 ani , dar sunt in special in orase. Familia mea locuieste la tara
Yes, that`s true. There are probably twice as many now as there were five years ago, but they are mostly in the cities. My family lives in the country.
|
| Sara: | Ma intreb de ce. Personal prefer la tara decat in oras. E asa liniste si pace. Daca as fi sa predau, as preda la tara
I wonder why. Personally I prefer the country to the city. It`s so quiet and peaceful. If I were to teach, I would want to teach in the country.
|
| Thomas: | Crezi ca ai vrea sa predai vreodata? Stiu ca scolile de langa mine au nevoie de profesori, deci daca vrei pot suna sa cer informatii
Do you think you would want to teach someday? I know the schools around my town are looking for teachers, so if you want I can call them and get more information.
|
| Sara: | Nu, nu cred, Trebuie sa stau aici un an si nu cred ca pot sa-mi iau atat de mult timp dupa munca
No, I don`t think so. I would need to stay there for a year, and I don`t think I can take that much time off work.
|
| Thomas: | Ei bine, daca te razgandesti, sa-mi zici. Cred ca ai fi un foarte bun profesor
Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think you would be a really great teacher.
