Tom:
Hi. I don't think we've met. My name's Tom.
Jenny:
Hi, Tom. Nice to meet you. My name's Juanita, but everybody calls me Jenny.
Tom:
Nice to meet you, Jenny. So where are you from?
Jenny:
Well, I'm originally from Argentina, but we moved to the United States when I was about five years old.
Tom:
Oh.
Jenny:
My parents now live in Chile. That's where they first met. How about you, Tom?
Tom:
I was born in Fresno, California, and we lived there until I was seven. Then since my father worked for the military, we moved all over the place.
Jenny:
Oh, yeah? Where are some of the places you've lived?
Tom:
Mostly we lived overseas. We spent ten years in Korea, Germany, and Japan, and then we were transferred back to the States three years ago.
Jenny:
Wow. It sounds like you've had an interesting life. So what do you do now?
Tom:
I'm a university student.
Jenny:
Oh, really? What are you studying?
Tom:
I'm majoring in psychology. How about you? What do you do?
Jenny:
Well, I'm working as a sales representative for a computer company called CompTech Downtown.
Tom:
No kidding. My brother works there, too.
