Ana: If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be?

David: If I had traveled more when I was young, I would be more open-minded now. I spent too much time working and not enough time experiencing the world.

A: I know what you mean. If I had studied abroad, I would have learned a language faster.

D: What about your career? Would you have done anything differently [dɪfərəntli]?

A: If I hadn't changed jobs in 2018, I wouldn't have met my husband. So even though that job was terrible, it led [lɛd] to something wonderful.

D: Funny how life works. If my parents hadn't moved to Barcelona when I was ten, I would have grown up in a completely different place. My whole life would have been different.

A: Do you regret anything?

D: If I had learned English earlier, I would have had more opportunities. But I'm learning now, so it's never too late!

A: That's the right attitude ['ætɪtu:d]. If we always looked back with regret, we would never move forward ['fɔrwərd].
