What English conversation do you want to do after graduation?

A：So, Fred, what are your plans for after graduation?

So, Fred, what are your plans after graduation?

b: well, I've always got a job waiting for me to come back in my hometown.

Well, I already have a job waiting for me in my hometown.

A：That’s cool. Have you already found an apartment to live in?

that's great. Have you found a house yet?

B：I’m planning on living with my parents. Won’t you?

I'm going to live with my parents. Won't you?

a: I could n't even if I wanted to. My parents told me that if I went home, then I'd have to find my own place.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. My parents told me that if I go home, I must find a place to live by myself.

B：You mean they’re kicking you out?

you mean they will kick you out?

A：Not really, they just don’t want me living at home. My older sister

did that, And she lived at home for seven years. Once she started living

at home, it got hard and hard for her to move out.

Not exactly. They just don't want me to live at home. My sister used to live at home, and she lived at home for seven years. Once she lives at home, it becomes more and more difficult for her to move out.

B：Well, it’s not like my parents want me to live at home the rest of

my life. They said that it’s ok if I move back home to begin with, But

they want me to find a place of my own after a year or so.

Well, not my parents want me to live at home in the future. They said it would be great if I moved back home and started living, but they wanted me to find a place to live by myself in about a year.

A：My parents just didn’t handle my older sister very well, and because

of that, They want me to be more independent. They think that it's

Important that I should learn how to live on my own.

My parents just didn't handle my sister's affairs well, and that's why they wanted me to be more independent. They think it is important for me to learn how to live independently.

B：I know I need to learn that myself, But I just don't have the money

for it at the moment. Living at home allows me to save up some money

before I started finding a place.

I know I need to learn to live independently, but now I just don't have the money to do that. Before I start looking for a place to live, living at home can save me some money.

May：Then why not get a job and have someone pay you? You can still go to graduate school later if you need or want to.

Why not get a job and earn some money first? If you need or miss graduate students, you can go later.
