A: Where to, miss?
B: Hi! Crenshaw and Hawthorne, at the Holiday Inn that is on that corner.
A: Sure thing. So, where are you flying in from?
B: From China.
A:Really? You don’t look very Chinese to me, if you don’t mind me saying so. 开始还听成mami
B: It’s fine. I am actually from Mexico. I was in China on a business trip, visiting some local companies that manufacture bathroom
products.
A: Wow sounds interesting! Excuse me if I am being a bit nosy but, how old are you?
B: Don’t you know it’s rude to ask a lady her age?
A: Don’t get me wrong! It’s just that you seem so young and already doing business overseas!
B: Well thank you! In that case, I am 26 years old, and what about yourself?
A:I am 40 years old and was born and raised here in the good old U.S of A, although I have some Colombian heritage.
B:Really? That’s great! Do you speak some Spanish?
A:Uh... yeah.. of course!
B:Que bien! Entonces podemos hablar en espanol!
