Conversation 1: Hi, I am your new neighbor and was wondering if I could ask you a question or two.

Hi! I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. - Everyone here seems very friendly.

Yes, many of us have lived here a long time and know each other well.

How long have you lived here? - I have lived in this building for ten years.

When I get settled, would you consider giving me a list of places you use, like cleaners and grocery stores?

I can help you with that. Would you like to go to the local farmer's market with me this morning?

That would be great! - Fine. I'll knock on your door around ten o'clock then.

Conversation 2: Hi, I am your new neighbor and would like to ask you about a few things. - Hi, nice to meet you. Sure, ask me anything you need to know.

So far, everyone that I've met seems so helpful. - We all seem to get along pretty well.

Have you lived here a very long time? - I first moved here ten years ago.

I am having trouble figuring out the best places to shop and such.

I am a pretty good source for all of that information. You could go to the local farmer's market with me today if you wish.

I would love to go with you! - I'll be leaving around ten o'clock. I'll pick you up.

Conversation 3: Hi, I just moved in next door and have a few questions. - Hello, and welcome to our building. I would be happy to help you with your questions.

You all seem like a very pleasant group of tenants. - We all try and help each other out when we can.

When did you first move here? - I have lived here for quite awhile. Ten years!

I am not from around here, and I don't know where basic services are.

I could help you find everything you need. Would you be interested in going to the local farmer's market with me?

What a great opportunity to get oriented to the neighborhood!

It starts around ten. Just meet me in the parking lot around 9:45, and I'll take you there.
