Todd: So Tara, I see you've just bought a new guitar.
Tara: Yeah, I have, yeah.
Todd: Yeah!
Tara: It's very nice.
Todd: So, what's the reasoning behind buying a guitar?
Tara: Well, I work at nights so I have the daytime free, and to be honest, most people they work in the day so I'm often on my own, and I just want something to keep me entertained in the daytime, and I don't really like reading books, so I want something to do with my hands, so I thought buying a guitar is a good idea.
Todd: Do you have any kind of music you would like to sing or learn to play?
Tara: I'd like to learn, have you heard, there's some English bands, like Cold Play and Turn Break so I'd like to learn that kind of style.
Todd: OK. Do you plan to take lessons or just learn on your own?
Tara: No, well a couple of my friends, they you know, they can... they learned guitar as well. I can't really take lessons in Japan. I think that might be a bit too much, but my friends are going to teach me. Hopefully. Yeah!
