0:06 In this lesson, we will talk about phrases that you can use to express your feelings about moving to a different city.
0:18 Hey Rosa. I've heard you are getting transferred to the corporate office?
0:22 Yeah. That's right. I'll be moving to New York in a couple of weeks.
0:27 That's really good news. From Texas to New York, huh? Life is going to be really exciting for you!
0:35 I hope so. I'm really excited about moving to New York. I've heard a lot about the city, and I'm ready to explore all its excitement and fun.
0:45 You look really happy. I wish you all the very best.
0:49 Thanks a lot Brian.
0:56 Honey! There's a letter from THY University.
1:00 What does it say, mom?
1:02 It says that your application has been accepted. But you must be there next week!
1:08 Next week?! How will I handle all this in such short notice?
1:13 This is your dream, Preity. You'll have to do it by any means.
1:18 This isn't a weekend getaway. I'll be gone for 3 years. How can I just move to a new city without proper planning?
1:23 Don't worry. I'll talk to your uncle in Washington. He'll make all the arrangements before you get there.
1:31 Well, I don't think I have much choice. Alright. I'll start packing today!
1:35 And let me call your friends over for dinner tomorrow. I'm sure you'd like to spend some quality time with your friends, too.
1:43 Aww... that's so sweet of you, mom! You're great!
1:52 What's up? Why do you look so upset?
1:55 Oh. I got a call from WHT Enterprise. I've been appointed the branch manager of their California branch.
2:03 Really? Congratulations! This is such great news.
2:06 No. Not for me, it isn't. I was aiming for the New York branch. I don't want to move to California.
2:14 Brian, look at the bright side. WHT is a leading name in the software industry. This is a great opportunity for you and your career.
2:21 I truly understand that and, I'm not letting it go. I'm just not willing to relocate to California. I have some personal reasons.
2:29 Well, you should forget about your personal problems and just concentrate on your career.
2:34 Hmm...Thanks for the advice.
2:41 Hey Rosa. How are you doing?
2:45 I'm good Ms. Helen. Glad to see you here.
2:49 Well, your mom told me you were relocating to New York. I thought it'd nice to meet you before that.
2:55 Oh. That's really nice of you.
2:57 So how are you feeling? All ready to welcome a new and adventurous life?
3:04 You're exaggerating a bit. I'm going there because of work. I don't think it's going to be that exciting.
3:11 Oh! You haven't tasted the grapes yet! Are you nervous about moving to a new city altogether?
3:20 Well... Yes, I am. I'm happy but I'm also feeling a little reluctant.
3:26 It happens. Don't worry. Everything will be just fine. It won't take long ‘till you're fully adjusted to the new environment.
3:37 I hope so. Thanks for your support, Ms. Helen.
3:45 I'm really excited about moving to New York.
