2-- Any particular reason?
1-- I got a new job.
2-- Congratulations! What is it?
1-- I'm going to be an ESL instructor at Pasadena City College.
2-- Great! By the way, what's ESL?
1-- ESL stands for English as a Second Language.
2-- Well, I'm glad it wasn't your neighbors causing you to move.
1-- Just because they play their TV loud enough for the whole complex?
2-- Yes, I know. I'm going to have another talk with them.
1-- Anyway, it's been nice knowing you for these past few years.
2-- You, too. Keep in touch, and good luck with your new job.
