Kanade: Yes.

 

　　Todd: So, Kanade, why don't you talk about where you're from!

 

　　Kanade: OK. I'm from Akita, which is Northern Japan. And there is a lot of mountains and you can see changing color in the fall and in my home Yashima town, there are only six thousand people in there and there is a waterfall called "Hotonedake", which is the best one hundred fall in Japan.

 

　　Todd: Wow! That's cool.

 

　　Kanade: Yeah, Cool!

 

　　Todd: So you've seen it.

 

　　Kanade: Yes!

 

　　Todd: So how high is this amazing waterfall?

 

　　Kanade: Uh, I don't really know. It's really big.

 

　　Todd:Really. So is it famous because it's really tall or cause it's really wide?

 

　　Kanade:Could be both.

 

　　Todd: Oh, really, that's a big waterfall. OK. When is the last time you went home?

 

　　Kanade: Last week.

 

　　Todd: Uh-huh. Really! Both you're parents still live there?

 

　　Kanade: Yes.

 

　　Todd: OK. And were your parents born there?

 

　　Kanade: Yes, but different town. My father is from Yashima, same hometown, same home as my home, but my mom is from Nigaho, next town from Yashima.

 

　　Todd: Oh, OK. Do you have a lot of childhood memories.

 

　　Kanade: Yes, uh, actually but my dad was really busy, so my mom took me, took me many, many places...as a child.

 

　　Todd: Oh, that's sweet. Well, you're a good daughter.

 

　　I think, I think so. Yeah!

 

　　Kanade: OK. Thanks a lot.
