ESL Conversation About Spring and Spring Plans

Jane: It’s such a beautiful day out there! Finally, the warm weather is right around the corner.

Tom: I know! I’m so happy.
I can’t wait to take a walk in the park and smell nature again.

Jane: Yeah, me too. There is nothing like the smell of flowers, trees, and fresh air. I can’t wait to open my windows and air out my house. I really want to do some spring-cleaning.

Tom: You’re not kidding.
Your place is a mess!

Jane: Haha! I can’t argue with you there. I never have any energy in the winter though. I rarely feel like doing anything except reading a book under my warm blanket.

Tom: Yes, I can understand that.
I think everyone becomes a better version of themselves in the spring.
I think it’s a chance to stop any excuses you may have been making all winter and start putting your plans into action.

Jane: Absolutely! This year I’m going to make a small garden.

Tom: Oh, that sounds great.
What are you going to plant?

Jane: Hmm… I think tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and broccoli. Those are my favorites so I will start with them.

Tom: I tried to plant some tomatoes and peppers before, but it didn’t turn out so well.
None of the plants lived very long. I’m afraid I really don’t have a green thumb at all.
