4. 0:09learning journey.
5. 0:11Today I'm feeling really happy and
6. 0:14excited. Do you know why?
7. 0:17Well, I'm going to meet one of my very
8. 0:19old friends today.
9. 0:22I'm here at a beautiful park and I'm
10. 0:25waiting for my friend. Her name is Mary.
11. 0:29We haven't seen each other for a very
12. 0:31long time.
13. 0:33It's been almost a year since our last
14. 0:35meeting. We've both been busy with our
15. 0:38families and daily responsibilities.
16. 0:41But today, we finally decided to meet
17. 0:43here and spend some quality time
18. 0:46together.
19. 0:47I'm really excited because I have so
20. 0:50many things to share with her. I also
21. 0:52want to know what's happening in her
22. 0:54life.
23. 0:56I think we'll have a wonderful time
24. 0:58together.
25. 1:00You know, meeting an old friend after a
26. 1:02long time is always a special feeling.
27. 1:07Today, we're going to have a simple and
28. 1:09natural English convers about meeting an
29. 1:12old friend.
30. 1:14We'll talk about family, daily routines,
31. 1:17health, hobbies, old memories, and
32. 1:19future plans. So listen carefully, learn
33. 1:22new expressions, and practice speaking
34. 1:24with us.
35. 1:27Oh, wait a minute. Is that Mary? Sara?
36. 1:32Oh my goodness. Is that really you,
37. 1:35Mary? My dear, I can't believe my eyes.
38. 1:40Oh, it's been such a long time. I know.
39. 1:47It's so wonderful to see you again. It's
40. 1:49wonderful to see you too, dear. I've
41. 1:52missed you so much. I've missed you,
42. 1:54too.
43. 1:56I completely understand. We've been
44. 1:58meaning to meet for months. Yes, we kept
45. 2:02saying, "Let's meet soon, but somehow we
46. 2:06never made it happen."
47. 2:08That's so true. But finally, we're here.
48. 2:12Yes. And I'm so happy we made time for
49. 2:15each other today. Me, too. You look
50. 2:18wonderful by the way. Oh, thank you. You
51. 2:21look lovely, too. So, how have you been?
52. 2:24Is everything going well?
53. 2:27Yes, everything is good. What about you?
54. 2:31I'm doing great. Thank you. I've been
55. 2:33waiting for this day. Really? That's so
56. 2:37sweet.
57. 2:38Of course. I have so many things to tell
58. 2:42you, and I have so much to sh share with
59. 2:45you, too. Well, we shouldn't stand here
60. 2:47all day.
61. 2:50Shall we sit on that bench and talk?
62. 2:55That's a wonderful idea. I love this
63. 2:59part of the park. It's so peaceful. Yes,
64. 3:03there are so many beautiful trees and
65. 3:05flowers here.
66. 3:07They're so lovely. I enjoy coming here
67. 3:10in the morning. Do you come here
68. 3:13regularly? Yes, whenever I have some
69. 3:16free time. That's wonderful. Spending
70. 3:19time in nature is so relaxing.
71. 3:23So, tell me what's new in your life.
72. 3:27Well, nothing very special. Life has
73. 3:30been busy as usual. I can understand
74. 3:33that. Life gets busy sometimes.
75. 3:36Yes, but I'm trying to make more time
76. 3:39for myself.
77. 3:41That's important. We should take care of
78. 3:43ourselves, too. Exactly.
79. 3:48By the way, how is your family? Everyone
80. 3:51is doing well, thank you. How about your
81. 3:54family?
82. 3:55They're all doing great.
83. 3:58That's wonderful. How are your children?
84. 4:02They're doing well. My son has started a
85. 4:04new job recently. Really? That's great
86. 4:08news. Congratulations. Thank you. My
87. 4:11daughter is also busy with her studies.
88. 4:14That's lovely. You must be very proud of
89. 4:16them. I really am. What about your
90. 4:19grandchildren?
91. 4:21Oh, they're growing up so quickly. I can
92. 4:24imagine. They must keep you busy.
93. 4:27>> Oh, absolutely. They're always running
94. 4:30around and asking questions. That's what
95. 4:32children do. [laughter]
96. 4:36>> Yes. But I love spending time with them.
97. 4:39That's beautiful. Family is such a
98. 4:41blessing. It certainly is. So, Mary, how
99. 4:45do you usually spend your mornings? I
100. 4:48usually wake up around 7:00.
101. 4:51That's a good time to start the day.
102. 4:54Yes, I prepare breakfast, do some
103. 4:56housework, and then go for a walk.
104. 4:59That's a healthy routine. What about
105. 5:02you? Do you still go for morning walks?
106. 5:05Of course. I try to walk for at least 30
107. 5:08minutes every day.
108. 5:10That's wonderful. Walking keeps me
109. 5:13active and makes me feel fresh. I agree.
110. 5:17We should all make time for exercise.
111. 5:21You know, seeing you today reminds me of
112. 5:24our old days. Oh, those were such
113. 5:27wonderful times. Do you remember when we
114. 5:30used to meet every weekend? Of course,
115. 5:34we used to spend hours talking together.
116. 5:37And sometimes we went shopping or had
117. 5:40lunch together. Yes, we always found
118. 5:43something interesting to talk about.
119. 5:46I really miss those days. Me, too. We
120. 5:49had so much fun together.
121. 5:52I remember one time when we got caught
122. 5:54in the rain. Oh, yes. We didn't have
123. 5:57umbrellas and we ran to a little shop to
124. 5:59stay dry. We laughed so much that day.
125. 6:04Those little moments become the best
126. 6:06memories. You're right. Good friends
127. 6:09make life more beautiful. So, what do
128. 6:12you enjoy doing in your free time these
129. 6:14days? I enjoy gardening, cooking, and
130. 6:18listening to music.
131. 6:20A, that's nice.
132. 6:22Do you still have a garden at home? Yes,
133. 6:25I've planted some beautiful flowers and
134. 6:28a few vegetables. That sounds lovely.
135. 6:31What about you? What do you do when
136. 6:34you're free?
137. 6:36I enjoy reading books, watching movies,
138. 6:39and spending time with my grandchildren.
139. 6:42Do you still enjoy cooking? Of course. I
140. 6:45love trying new recipes. Really? What
141. 6:48did you cook recently? I made a
142. 6:50delicious vegetable soup yesterday. That
143. 6:52sounds healthy and tasty.
144. 6:55It was. I wish you could have joined me.
145. 6:59Maybe next time you can make it for me.
146. 7:01That's a deal. [laughter]
147. 7:05Would you like to take a little walk
148. 7:06around the park? That's a great idea.
149. 7:09Let's walk together.
150. 7:13Look at those beautiful flowers.
151. 7:16They're lovely.
152. 7:18Spring is such a beautiful season. Look
153. 7:21at the time. It's almost lunchtime.
154. 7:24Oh, you're right. Time flies when we're
155. 7:27having a good time.
156. 7:30I think we should have something
157. 7:31delicious for lunch.
158. 7:34That's a great idea. Do you know what
159. 7:36I'd really love to eat?
160. 7:39Biryani. The biryani here is absolutely
161. 7:43delicious. Oh, really? I love biryani,
162. 7:45too. Then why don't we go and have some?
163. 7:49Absolutely. Come on, let's go.
164. 7:54A few moments later.
165. 7:57>> Wow, this biryani looks so delicious. I
166. 8:00know. And it smells wonderful, too.
167. 8:02Let's try it.
168. 8:18[music]
169. 8:27>> [music]
170. 8:32>> Good food and good company. What more
171. 8:35could we ask for? Absolutely. This is
172. 8:38such a lovely day.
173. 8:42Oh, look at the time. I should get going
174. 8:46already. Time flies when you're having
175. 8:48fun. It really does. I had such a
176. 8:51wonderful time with you today. I enjoyed
177. 8:54every minute of it. Thank you for
178. 8:56meeting me today. Thank you for coming,
179. 8:58dear. Let's not wait another year to
180. 9:01meet again. [laughter]

182. 9:07care of yourself.
183. 9:09You too. Have a lovely day. See you
184. 9:12soon, Sara. Goodbye.
185. 9:18Take care. I will see you soon.
186. 9:24Well, everyone, that was such a lovely
187. 9:26meeting with my dear friend Mary. I
188. 9:29really enjoyed spending time with her
189. 9:31after such a long time.
190. 9:35And I hope you enjoyed our conversation,
191. 9:38too.
192. 9:39Today we learned how to meet an old
193. 9:41friend, greet them warmly, ask about
194. 9:45their family, talk about daily routines,
195. 9:48and share memories. Before we finish,
196. 9:51let's practice some useful English
197. 9:53expressions from today's conversation.
198. 9:58It's been such a long time. I've really
199. 10:02missed you. I'm so happy to see you
200. 10:05again. To
201. 10:07How have you been?

204. 10:16I really miss those days.
205. 10:19We should meet more often.
206. 10:22Time flies when you're having fun.
207. 10:26Try to use these expressions in your
208. 10:28everyday conversations. And remember,
209. 10:32speaking English becomes easier when you
210. 10:35practice a little every day.
211. 10:38Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
