Sample Dialogue

Andrew: You know what? I’m pretty tired today. I just got back from a really long trip.

Harp: Oh, yeah? Where did you go?

Andrew: I went to the East Coast of Canada, and I visited Halifax, which is in the province of Nova Scotia. And I also went to Fredericton and Moncton in New Brunswick.

Harp: Wow. That’s really cool. I’ve never been there. How was it?

Andrew: It was pretty amazing, I have to say. I’ve never been there before either, but it was great. It was a really cool experience. I got to see the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.

Harp: Oh, I’m jealous. I haven’t seen it yet.

Andrew: Yeah. And the scenery is beautiful. I drove from Montreal, and, yeah, it’s amazing. You get to see the Saint Lawrence River, and it’s fantastic. You should take a road trip out there.

Harp: I think I’m definitely gonna do that. I’ve also heard that you can take the train from Montreal to Halifax and it’s beautiful as well.

Andrew: Oh, yeah. I bet so.

Harp: So which was your favourite of the three cities?

Andrew: Well, they’re all pretty small places. Moncton is really nice, but I think Halifax is where it’s at. I think that’s my favourite for sure.

Harp: OK. No, I’m definitely gonna have to go there.

Andrew: Mmhmm. It’s very pretty, and very quaint, and you’d love it.

Harp: Very cool. OK, so let’s get started with today’s episode. We’re gonna be bringing you a Chatterbox episode, and that’s where we chat. We pick a topic and we discuss it.
