Nice to meet you here

Foreign National: Excuse me Madam, do I know you?
Traveler: Oh, I don’t think so, I’m sorry.
Foreign National: Are you sure, because you really look familiar?
Traveler: I’m defi nitely sure, Ma’am. You might have mistaken me for another person.
Foreign National: Wait, I think I already remember! We were schoolmates from Riverdale High. Don’t
you remember me?
Traveler: Is that so Ma’am? I’m sorry, but I really can’t remember.
Foreign National: You’re Aeriel Takuhi, am I right?
Traveler: Yes, how did you know?
Foreign National: I told you, we we’re schoolmates. You’re my sister’s best friend. Her name is Lee Mi-
ju. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about her.
Traveler: Ah yeah, now I remember. How could I have forgotten? You look different. By the way, what are
you doing here?
Foreign National: Now you could recall. Well, I just came from the States, specifi cally, California. I’m
just here with my husband for business. What brings you here?
Traveler: Oh, I’m here for my business trip too. What’s your name again?
Foreign National: My former name is Mei-ji. Now, it’s Hannah Miles. Oh, I’m sorry to cut you short. I
want to talk with you more, but my husband would be coming any minute now. I had better be going.
We have a convention to attend to by 9 am.
Traveler: Oh, that’s fi ne with me. It’s indeed a pleasant surprise. Nice to see you again! Please send my
regards to Mi-ju, ok? Here’s my calling card if in case you’ll see her.
Foreign National: Ok, you can keep my calling card too. I hope we’ll get to see each other again.
Thanks for the chat. Take care!
Traveler: Same here, See you!

1. Have you ever had any experience meeting and talking to a complete strang-
er?

Sample answer:
Yes, it was when I had a “blind date” with someone set-up for me by my friends. I really don’t
know whom and what to expect that time.

2. What would you feel if you knew that a stranger will be fetching you at the
airport?
