Brian: Afterwards, I am going to work in a hospital in England. Linda: And are you going to stay in London? Brian: Perhaps I will go back to Germany. Only time will tell. I would like to have family. Linda: Really? Brian: Yeah, why not? Hahahaha. And you? Linda: If you like, then I will tell you now about my feelings and plans! Brian: I would like to hear them! Tell me. Linda: If I had the chance to do everything again, I would just do it again. But if I had studied, I would have studied medicine or law. If I stay here in London, I will marry a nice young man. If I had the choice, we would have a big family. Brian: You are very honest and open, that is great.
