M: Have you ever lived abroad, Phyllis? W: Yes, I have actually.What about you? M: No, unfortunately I haven't. W: Oh, what a shame! M: Where did you live when you were abroad? W: I lived in Australia. M: Really? That's a long way away. W: Uhm, uhm, yes! M:How long were you there for? W: I was there for 12 years. M: Oh! What a long time! W: Yes. Rather. M: Erm, so how long have you been back in the UK? W: I've been back for about ten years now. M: When you were in Australia, did you think of it as your home? W: Well, it depends on what you mean by home. Home to me is being near the people you're fond of. M: Uhm, yeah. So does that mean that your family were with you in Australia? W: Yes, they were there with me. M: And presumably they came back to the UK? W: Yes, they did. They came back with me. M: Uhm, if you had a choice, where do you think you'd be living now? W: Oh, I would really like to go back to Australia. M: Oh, yeah? Why is that? W: Well, for one thing, it's the climate. M: Uhm. W: And, secondly, it's very relaxed. M: Oh? In what way? W: Well, you know, the way of life, nobody hurries. M: Uhm. Is that at work as well as socially? W: That's right, everything.
