dialogue 4 taking a walk

[Music]

it’s such a beautiful sunny day i can’t

remember the last time i felt so relaxed

yeah it’s so great being able to enjoy

the sunshine and the cool breeze

our old place was always loud and noisy

i feel so great that our new

neighborhood is so beautiful and

tranquil

i feel the same way our new house is

closer to the city center but it’s not

noisy at all

and it’s so convenient that we have

everything from supermarkets the mall

the cinema to restaurants and coffee

shops nearby

yeah it’s great that everything is

within walking distance

moving to this neighborhood is such a

good decision don’t you think honey

it’s the best place to raise our little

ben

also our neighbors are all so nice and

respectful especially jared and riley

they’re always willing to help us

yeah that’s true it’s not easy having

such good neighbors nowadays i’m so glad

we moved

park ben

before when we still lived in brooklyn i

could only go to the park once in a

while

yeah i know i’m sorry about that honey

the park was too far from our old place

so we couldn’t go there often

but this park is only two blocks from

our house so now we can go here every

weekend or anytime you want to

awesome

wow this park is so much bigger than our

old park

yeah you’re right

be careful honey don’t run so fast

you’ll trip over

i’m fine i’m not gonna trip trust me

mom dad look there are so many games

here as well

there are swings

seesaws

slides and balls here i love this park

you’re right this park has such a big

playground it’s even bigger than the

playground at your school

glad you like this park
