流利英語(yǔ)Fluent EnglishHOW Long Have YOU Been Here

Peter: I guess we didn't have anything else to do today, did we?

Sergei: What?

Peter: I said I guess they think that we didn't have anything else to do today.

It's just that we've been in this line for very long time. It seems like we

aren't going anywhere very fast.

Sergei: Yeah, I know. I've been here since about 9:30. What about you?

Peter: I think I got here just a few minutes before you did. I decided to pick up

a green-card application for my wife. I should've gotten it off the internet.

That way I could have just stayed home. Say, where are you from?

Sergei: Me? I'm from Russia.

Peter: Oh, whereabouts?

Sergei: I lived in Moscow for most of my life, but I moved around a little. I was

in the military.

Peter: Interesting. I've never been to Russia, but I've always wanted to visit.

It seems like such an interesting country. How long have you lived here?

Sergei: I've lived in San Diego for only a few weeks, but I've been in the U.S.

since August.

Peter: Well, welcome to San Diego. I guess the weather must be a bit warmer

than where you're from,huh?

Sergei: Yes, that's true. I've gotten used to it.

Peter: Have you visited the zoo or Balboa Park yet?

Sergei: NO, but I really want to go to Balboa Park. I've heard about all the flowers

and museums that are there.

Clerk: Next!

Peter: Hey, that's me. Gotta go. See you around.

Sergei: Oh. OK. See you.
