Kevin : Hi, Todd. How are you?
Todd : Doing pretty good.
Kevin : Good.
Todd : Kevin we're gonna talk about (nature).
Kevin : OK.
Todd : First of all could you tell the (listener) where we are?
Kevin : Well, let's see. We are on, kind of on the side of a hill in the forest but we have a (spectacular) view of Mt. Fuji on the other side of the valley. Yeah. It's really nice here.
Todd : Yeah, it is. Um, why are you in this forest right now?
Kevin : Well, I'm, I'm (currently) working and I'm teaching an intensive English course up here at the, the campus, up here in the forest.
Todd : Oh, nice. Do you take any walks in the woods?
Kevin : Yes, I , I enjoy taking walks in the woods, and sometimes I even go for a jog in the woods, there are a few (trails) around here and there's a nice, a nice golf course as well that you can run around.
Todd : OK, great! What's the best thing about the, being in nature? in the forest?
Kevin : Well, for me it's, uh, the, the, (stress relief) that it provides, uh, especially living in, in Tokyo, which is of course one of the world's largest and most (chaotic) cities. It's also nice to get back out into nature sometimes and just hear the insects, which obviously we can hear very clearly right now, as well as some birds, and you know it's just nice to get back out into nature.
Todd : I agree. OK. Thanks a lot Kevin.
Kevin : You're welcome.
