Note to recorder:

American female accent and Natural speed please! Thank you so much ^^

A: Do you know Anna, who is currently working in a pet store near my house?
B: Yes, but what happened?
A: Well, the thing is I was totally wrong about her at the first place.
B: How did you guys meet each other?
A: I met her in high school. I got to know her better through our reviews for exams together and our hangouts after class
As far as I remember at that time She was short and fat seems like a little bit overweight
She has short black hair, dark brown eyes
She always liked to wear baggy and sloppy clothes that really got my attention
B: Yeah. I can imagine what she looked like at that time. What false assumption did you make about him/her?
A: I had always assumed that she was standoffish because she often refused to blend in with everyone and quite unapproachable as she kept herself to herself by avoid chatting with everyone. Besides, She always seems to be insecure about her appearance. And she also lacked confidence in her ability to do her job. So those are the things that made me have a negative attitude to her
B: I see, I would have made the same mistake if I were you. In the end, what made you change your mind on her?
A: As I said before I’d thought that my friend was self-conscious about appearance cuz she didn’t have a healthy lifestyle but it turns out that since she got a quite serious disease before and had to be treated by taking medication. But unfortunately the treatment had a side effect that caused her to gain weight quickly. So it’s not due to her eating habits at all.
Well after some times of hanging out with my friend and having some conversation together I eventually got to know her better and in the end, I realized that she’s just introverted and sensible person who can give her friends some good advice which made her really well-liked.
Moreover, She was gregarious and kind-hearted. For exp, she always helped me with my homework after class and were always by my side to give me encouragement whenever I was in trouble
So I am very happy to have a friend like her
B: I know exactly what you mean. So the truth is that she’s not like what you think about her at first and It sounds like you had misjudged her. Well, next time, I guess that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
