Bumping into an old friend
Emily: Thomas!?
Thomas: Emily! Long time no see. How’s it going?
Emily: Wow, you look so different. I’ve been doing well, thanks for asking. Are you living in the city now?
Thomas: Not really, I just came here for work. I’m staying for a couple of weeks. What are you doing? Would you like to have some coffee?
Emily: I was going home. Sure! Have you heard of this new café, what’s its name? … Expresso! They say it’s very nice.
Thomas: Yes! I heard about it last week in town. There’s one over there as well. I haven’t been there, though.
Emily: There’s one just a couple of blocks away. Let’s go there!
Thomas: Sure. Let me just reply to this quick work message.
Emily: Classic Thomas. You’re always working! You will never change.
Thomas: You know me!
Emily: You can reply later, let’s go!
Emily: So, what are you having?
Thomas: I’ll have a latte, thanks!
Emily: No problem. I’ll have a latte too.

Thomas: Yes!
Emily: What’s up?
Thomas: Well, they just confirmed that the employees who have been at the company for more than two years can apply to this new open managerial position, which I’m very interested in.
Emily: Great! I know you’ve always wanted to lead a team. What are the requirements to apply for this position?
Thomas: Well, there are some courses, training and work you must do to apply and show you’re interested. I’ve been studying and working so much that I have hardly slept.
Emily: You know that’s not good. You need to get some rest, you’re always working too much! However, I’m extremely glad for you. You’re so committed and goal-oriented that I’m sure you will get this position.
Thomas: Thank you, Emily! But enough about me. What have you been up to?
Emily: I’m planning to take a career break. I’ve been working incredibly hard for so many years and I think it’s time for me to rest.
Thomas: Amazing! What are you planning to do?
Emily: I wanted to take a break this year but neither my parents nor my friends think it’s a completely good idea, since there are some restrictions in certain cities and countries due to the current situation. So they said I should put it off for a year.
Thomas: I see. It makes sense. I’m sure you will make the right decision.
Emily: Thanks! And what about your family? How are your parents and siblings doing?

Nice!!! We can do it.
It is amazing to be able to listen and understand this role play. It’s a huge improvement since I’ve started learning here!
Was a nice role play, because gave me ideas about what questions I can make if a see a person that a long time ago I didn’t see
Great conversation!
I think the role play showed is useful to beginning conversations, talk with other people and friends.
Thomas is in his current professional stage of growth. I think there isn't enough context to define him a workaholic at all.
Emily is her current life stage of self-care, but maybe they are concerns about the current political and economical situation.
