Dialogue 9 :
Brian:Oh take a look at the menu!
Linda:Great! I will take the fish! And you?
Brian:I will probably order the fish, too. I do not know yet!
Linda:Let us talk a little bit about your future! What are your plans?
Brian:I am going to become a doctor.
Linda:Great! And what are you going to do after that?
Brian:Afterwards, I am going to work in a hospital in England.
Linda:And are you going to stay in London?
Brian:Perhaps I will go back to Germany. Only time will tell. I would like to have family.
Linda:Really?
Brian:Yeah, why not? Hahahaha. And you?
Linda:If you like, then I will tell you now about my feelings and plans!
Brian:I would like to hear them! Tell me.
Linda:If I had the chance to do everything again, I would just do it again. But if I had studied, I would have studied medicine or law. If I stay here in London, I will marry a nice young man. If I had the choice, we would have a big family.
Brian:You are very honest and open, that is great.
Linda:If I say something, I always mean it.
Brian:And if I listen, I can always keep a secret.
Linda:I hope so! Because if you couldn’t, I would tear your head off. Hahahaha.
Brian:But before that, you would kiss me, if I asked you!
Linda:If you hadn’t just said that, I probably would have! Hahaha. Oh look, the waiter is coming!
Brian:We would like the fish and the best wine you have!
