  • In this lesson, we will talk about phrases that you can use to express your feelings about moving to a different city.

  • Hey Rosa, I heard you're getting transferred to the corporate office.

  • Yeah, that's right. I'll be moving to New York in a couple of weeks.

  • That's really good news. From Texas to New York, huh? Life's going to be really exciting for you.

  • 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.

  • You look really happy. I wish you all the very best.

  • Thanks a lot, Brian.

  • Honey, there's a letter from THY University.

  • What does it say, mom?

  • It says that your application has been accepted, but you must be there next week.

  • Next week? How will they handle all this in such short notice?

  • This is your dream, Prady. You'll have to do it by any means.

  • This isn't a weekend getaway. I'll be gone for three years.

  • How can I just move to a new city without proper planning?

  • Don't worry. I'll talk to your uncle in Washington. He'll make all the arrangements before you get there.

  • Well, I don't think I have much choice. Alright, I'll start packing today.

  • 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.

  • That's so sweet of you, mom. You're great.

  • What's up? Why do you look so upset?

  • Oh, I got a call from WHT Enterprise. I've been appointed to the branch manager of their California branch.

  • Really? Congratulations! That's such great news.

  • No, not for me, it isn't. I was aiming for the New York branch. I don't want to move to California.

  • Brian, what's going on?

  • I was aiming for the New York branch. I don't want to move to California.

  • 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.

  • I truly understand that, and I'm not letting it go. I'm just not willing to relocate to California. I just have some personal reasons.

  • Well, you should forget about your personal problems. Just concentrate on your career.

  • Hmm...thanks for the advice.

  • Hey, Rosa. How are you doing?

  • I'm good, Ms. Helen. Glad to see you here.

  • Oh, that's really nice of you.

  • So, how are you feeling? All ready to welcome a new and adventurous life?

  • You're exaggerating a bit. I'm going there because of work. I don't think it's going to be easy.

  • Oh, you haven't tasted the grapes yet?

  • Are you nervous about moving to a new city altogether?

  • Well, yes, I am. I'm happy, but I'm also feeling a little reluctant.

  • It happens. Don't worry. Everything will be just fine.
