TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH
I was born in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, and, um, I stayed there until 2000, and I finished high school there. And right after high school we moved to New York. I stayed there two years and came to Canada afterwards. Um, well, what else? Right now I'm studying economics here, and, um, well I…. I don't know yet. I'll probably work in a company first, but then I want to do my own business, but I didn't decide what yet, probably like and import export kind of thing. Um, we'll see what happens, but I'll be done in two years then I'll probably (uh) move out and start a new life. And I plan to stay in Toronto. I don't plan to go back at this moment. I do miss Turkey but, um, I got used to it here like I'm happy here. I go there every summer, so I don't miss it as much.
