So, if you are such a world traveler, why are you here in England and not somewhere strange
and
exotic
?

Even though I was born in Sydney, I will always consider London my hom
Emma:
Whatever for? London doesn't have the beautiful weather or cute kangaroos and koala bears
that Australia has.
Herbie:
Look, if I want to see animals I go to the is my home because I've lived here far
I was 10 my mum sent me to live with my aunt and uncle in Highgate, a suburb of
London, to go to
school
.It was really tough at first. I had no friends, and my schoolmates poked fun
at my Aussie after a few years, I really started to
fit when I visit my Mum in Sydney
I feel like a tourist.
A lot has changed there in 18 year
Emma:
Sorry. I didn't
mean
to get you all worked up. I simply meant,why are you here instead of
somewhere really hip like Tokyo or Beijing.
Herbie:
Well, I was. I
mean
I've already lived abroad for seven I wanted to be
somewhere
familiar for a while. Then, out of the blue,one of my mates called me and offered me a job as a sound
engineer for a BBC television I've got good pay and a
contract
for four years.
Emma:
That's quite
impressive
! From test tubes to television... what a
transformation
!
Herbie:
How long are you here for? Do you plan to stay after you finish your degree?
Emma:
That's hard to say. I really like London, but it's so I live really depends on
what kind of job I can find online.I've already started looking. I even applied for a company based in
Sydney,though I would hate to have to leave London. I have to decide soon, because I complete my
degree next term.
Herbie:
Sounds like you still have plenty of time. If you don't mind me asking,do you ever have free
time after classes?
Emma:
Well I work from Thursday through Sunday evenings as a during the week I am
usually free.
Herbie:
That's great! I keep similar hours. How about meeting for coffee next Monday around 4pm?
