    B1 Unidad 5 & 6

    Man: People are always asking me how old I am and how much money I make. I never know what to
    say. He is uncomfortable.

    Woman: Every time I go out the door, there’s something new to see or hear or taste. The culture is so
    rich and complex. I learn something every day. It’s great! She is fascinated

    Man: I speak the language, I’m comfortable with the culture, I’m good at my job, and people usually like
    me. I think I’ll do well here. He is confident.

    Woman: People are people everywhere, of course. But here, people react differently from the way we
    do at home. I wish I could understand them better. She is curious

    Man: I never know what they’re thinking. A couple of people at work seem friendly, but I don’t know if
    they want to be friends. He is uncertain.

    Woman: I’m not having any problems. I speak a little of the language, and I’ve made a couple of
    friends. It’s not that different, really. she is comfortable

    Tyler: I’m so glad you came to visit, Liv. What do you think of Georgia?
    Liv: I love it, Tyler! You know, the southern part of the United States is different from the northern part.
    Tyler: How do you think it’s different?
    Liv: Well, it’s a lot slower.
    Tyler: What do you mean?
    Liv: Things just take longer here, Tyler. People take longer to serve you in restaurants, for example.
    Even the fast-food places can be slow!
    Tyler: That’s true. I remember things being fast when I visited you in Pennsylvania. But, I think people
    in the South are more patient.
    Liv: You’re right. People in the North can be impatient. However, they are very punctual in the North.
    People aren’t always on time here.
    Tyler: Yeah, when there’s a meeting, it’s expected it will start a little late.
    Liv: I think the people are really friendly here. Strangers always say “hi” to each other! That doesn’t
    happen as much in the North.
    Tyler: I agree. People are friendly here, and they’re very polite. I mean, people in the North aren’t rude...
    They just aren’t always as polite as people are here.
    Liv: I know what you mean. There’s good and bad about both parts of the United States.
    Tyler: Do you think you could ever live in the South, Liv?
    Liv: I don’t think so. I mean, I like it here, but I’d miss home too much.
    Tyler: What would you miss?
    Liv: One thing that I’d really miss is my family. I could get used to the customs here. I just couldn’t be
    away from my friends and family.
