Conversation journal

This week on Pacific Science Center, and I had a conversation in this place. I and Carlos went to the Space Needle, and took a trip in the monorail until get tawn center, where we bought some clothes to our family. I talking with the cashier who´s name is Danny Thompson, whom told me that was the first be working in that store. In summarize we talked about the problem that is to find a work in Seattle, he has been looking for one since seven months ago. That he is single and has to work because his parents do not have money to pay his studies, he is studying in a privet school, also he is living alone. I told him that I hope you don´t keep on my asking with this personal questions, but it is part of my homework, so he said, don´t worry, it´s OK. It is good to have some one influence of another person, learn through them. He is twenty four years old and he´s looking like to many of the Americans, he´s very optimist, his attitude is to claim the best life and he find for himself.

Two new vocabulary items I heard were I asked about his life plans. He answer me my attitude is to claim the best life and find a better kind of life.

My thoughts and myself opinion of this conversation is that if somebody wants the best in this life, you will have to work as much as possible if you really want a good kind of life.

My experience in tha university Av. in which we have to talk with some differents restaurants, clothe store, drugstores and All one Dolar, The question more recurrent to the people that I talk with was to all of them, where are you from, How long have you been here in Seattle and if they live with their family. If they are happy to be living here.
