TRANSCRIPT

Hi everyone. This is your teacher, Todd and I will talk about my day.

So today I had a really good day. I woke up early and I read for a bit. I read a book that I love. It’s got a really, really good story. And then I took a drive. I drove down here to the countryside and I walked along the rice fields here and I just relaxed.

Then I went to the beach and I sat on the beach and just did nothing. I did nothing. I just sat there and I looked out at the ocean and just cleared my mind. It was a really nice day. So it was a really fun Sunday. I felt relaxed all day and I didn’t feel stressed, and now I’m ready for work tomorrow. So, yeah, it was a good day.

How about you?
What did you do today?
Did you drive anywhere?
Did you go anywhere?
Did you talk to anyone?
Did you buy anything today?
I didn’t buy anything. Oh wait, I did. I bought lunch, but besides that, I didn’t buy anything.

So what about you?
How was your day?
