Hey, guys. Are you going on a trip?
- Mami:
Hi, Lewis. Yeah, we’re taking a weekend trip to Leicester. We heard there’s a lot to see there.
- Lewis:
Oh, you’ll like it there. There are lots of nice places in Leicester. If you’re into history, I recommend the King Richard III Visitor Centre.
- Mami:
Thanks for the tip. Have you been there before?
- Lewis:
Actually, my girlfriend and I are originally from Leicester.
- Mami:
Oh, we thought you were from here!
- Lewis:
Well, my family has roots here in London, but I was born and raised in Leicester. I only moved here with my girlfriend a year ago to attend acting school.
- Mami:
Oh! So, you’re an actor?
- Lewis:
Yeah. My girlfriend and I are both actors. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we like to practice argument scenes at home. Sorry about the noise we make sometimes.
- Mami:
Oh my gosh, we didn’t know you were actors! We thought you were arguing for real! I guess that means you’re good actors. (laughs)
