L3U6 - Conversation 1

Noah: Hi! Excuse me, how do you get to platform B?

Giovanni: It’s the one at the end of the hall. Where are you traveling?

Noah: I’m going to Lyon, but I haven´t traveled by train before, so I’m lost.

Giovanni: Oh, I’m sorry, but the train to Lyon had just left when I arrived at the station.

Noah: Really? When did it leave? Did you miss that train, too?

Giovanni: Yes, I did. It left ten minutes ago. I’m afraid we have to wait for the next train.

Noah: Oh, well. I’ll wait, then. I’m Noah, by the way. Have you visited Lyon before?

Giovanni: Pleased to meet you. I’m Giovanni. I had lived there with my family before I moved to Paris.

Noah: I see, and why did you move to Paris?

Giovanni: Because I hadn’t found a job in Lyon after looking for several months. I’m an artist and my paintings hadn’t been bought until I came to Paris.

Noah: Before you moved to Paris, how many paintings had you sold?

Giovanni: Only two. While here in Paris, I’ve already sold fifteen more.

Noah: That’s amazing! So, Giovanni, do you know when the next train is coming?

Giovanni: I had just asked for that at the ticket window before you came. It should be here in less than fifteen minutes.

Noah: Perfect! Then, I’ll get ready. Good luck with your paintings!

Giovanni: Thanks! Have a nice trip!
