1. K: Hi, Brandon! This is a surprise. How are you?

2. B: Oh hi Kevin, I'm a little busy now. What about you?

3. K: Great, thanks. Why are you busy?
4. B: Actually, I´ve been working for a theatre producer, and we are rehearsing
5. K: How exciting, how do you feel?
6. B: This is the first big production in which I am participating and I am nervous since we
started the rehearsals
7. K: But I see that you are preparing well, no need to worry
8. B: Yes, we have long time getting ready but still nothing takes my nerves away, I don't
know if you can understand me
9. K: Well, you are right. I've never been preparing for a similar event before, but the first
time I was in front of so many people I made a fool of myself
10. B: Really? And how was that experience? Could you tell me?
11. K: Oh that was really awkward. Don't you remember?
12. B: I'm sorry, I have a bad memory, could you tell me to remember how it happened?
13. K: I'll give you a clue, it happened when I was first year of high school
14. B: I'm starting to remember something, was that an anniversary performance of our
high school?
15. K: Yes, and for the halftime show, a Master of Ceremonies came up and asked for two
volunteers
16. B: That's true, I remember, I didn't volunteer because I was shy at that time
17. K: Yes, me too, but I don't know why I felt extremely extrovert that day
18. B: I didn't recognize you that day, you were even screaming to be chosen
19. K: Yes it is true, I think I wanted to be popular that day and I get picked and then some
other guy also gets picked
20. B: And at some point you did it, that happened I don't think could have been easy to
forget.
21. K: We come on up and of the MC hands me the mic, asking me what's my name and it
was the first time I spoke for a mic
22. B: Yes I remember, you looked very nervous and when you spoke you made our ears
hurt
23. K: I know, I shouted my name loudly into the mic and the audience started groaning
24. B: But that does not compare to what came next
25. K: When music starts playing in the background in my mind said “oh please not a
dance competition”
26. B: It was very funny to see your reaction when the music started, was it a dance
contest, right?
27. K: Unfortunately yes and He let me start, I had no idea how to dance, especially in
front of a huge crowd filled with all my schoolmates
28. B: You did some weird moves, and you were excited about it but there was not much
reaction in the crowd
29. K: My turn had over, and it was the other guy turn and he had sweet dance moves
30. B: I have to admit that he did very well
31. K: not only you, also the whole audience thought the same
32. B: Well yes right, everyone went into an uproar cheering for him
33. K: I was mortified. It felt like I was trying to be myself and have fun but nobody liked it
34. B: Those were things of the past, the important thing is that you have been yourself
35. K: Thanks. Well, it was great to see you, good luck with your performance and just do
your best
36. B: I'll do that and it was great to see you too
