This week end, one more time, galenkp@galenkp propose us several interesting topics to write about. I chose the first one:

The conversation

You're flying in a plane and strike up a conversation with the person beside you - They ask you to describe three interesting things about yourself...What do you say?

In spite of usually It’s difficult to me to talk with strangers I’ll imagine I can do it and I’ll share with you an hypothetical dialogue like galenkp@galenkp proposed us:

-Good morning, lady. We will have a long trip to Australia. Would you like to talk with me? This way maybe the fly will be less long and boring. My name is John, I’m an anthropologist, I’m going to Australia to study some indigenous tribes. I’m an english professor but since ten years ago I’m living in California. Nice to meet you. Your name is…

-Well, my name is…Alice…I’m looking for…a white rabbit with a clock…I’m sorry. Nice to meet you, professor. I offered him my hand. He taked. I’m a venezuelan writer, I’ll visit my sister Maria and her family, she is living in Sidney. I don’t see her since eight years ago.
-Can you tell me three interesting things about yourself?
-Yes, I already tell you first:

I am a writer

-I guess many persons think being a writer could be an interesting profession. Do you?...

-Um…Yes, I guess… Tell me more…
-Well, we are very sensitive people, we have a good imagination…sometimes a delirious imagination. That’s good to write an attractive story but some writers lose their minds and they bring delirium into their lives. It’s not my case, of course.
-Are you sure? In some tribes, their members tend to imitate certain behaviors…
-Do you observe in me…any strange behavior? Our tribe have some tendencies. Certainly.
-I’m just kidding, of course.
-I figured it out.

Second: I’m a reliable person

-You can trust me absolutely. My father educated me this way. You can call me Honest Alice. I will always do what's right. I’m the kind of person that always will tell you the truth. Even if telling the truth is not convenient to me. Right now, I trust you and I don’t know what kind of person you are.

-Thank you, Honest Alice.

Third: I’m a person who is always open to learn

Life is always changing. Every day is a new experience. Always I enjoy learning something new. In spite of sometimes I have resistance to new things at last I like when I can learn something new. In some way I like routine, but in the other hand, I’m happy when something new surprises me. It may sound paradoxical, but it is.

-I understand you perfectly well. Sometimes I feel that way.
-Excellent. Well, excuse me, I want to sleep. I woke up early this morning. Later, you will tell me three interesting things about yourself.



Gracias por leerme (1).jpg

I wrote this post in English as it should be done in this community, but I consulted Deepl.com for the translation of some phrases about which I had doubts. I hope you enjoyed. Happy Week End.
