B: Yes, I do have to make sure to walk him
enough. A: And what about the cat? B: The cat is more independent, but is great
at cuddling. A: Maybe I'll get a cat and a dog! B: Great idea. They can keep each other company! A: So, what are you thinking about doing this
weekend? B: Well, I'm not sure. A: I heard there's a free music festival,
my boyfriend and I are going. B: Really, where? A: In the park? B: Oh, cool. What kind of music will there be? A: Mostly rock, I think. B: Maybe I'll ask my girlfriend if she wants

tonight. B: That's a very nice thing to do. A: Yeah, but I don't know what to cook! B: Ha ha, well what do you know how to cook? A: Spaghetti, that's it! B: Well, I'm sure he'd love spaghetti, everybody
does! A: Yeah that's true. What do you know how to cook? B: I like to make lasagna. A: Oh, that sounds delicious! B: It is. Would you like me to pass you the recipe? A: That would be amazing.

Where do you go running? B: Mostly at the park, but sometimes around
my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying. A: Tell me about it! B: There's an annoying person at my work too. A: I guess there's one at every workplace. B: That is so true! A: Did you see the new Game of Thrones episode? B: No! And no spoilers! A: I can't believe you haven't seen it yet! B: I haven't had a chance. A: But it's been out for 4 days already. B: I know! And it's all anyone talks about online. A: Have you managed to avoid reading spoilers? B: Yes! I just don't go online until I've seen the
episode. A: That seems hard. Why haven't you seen it? B: I've been so busy at work, I've had to
work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts
of different people. B: Wow. I hadn't thought of it like that. A: Well, maybe I should check out some video
games. B: And maybe I should check out some books! A: What do you think about buying art? B: What do you mean? Like posters? A: No, like original pieces of art. B: I don't know, how much does that sort of
thing cost. A: Well, anywhere from a few hundred dollars
to millions. B: Wow, well I guess you'd have to be pretty
sure you like it. A: Yeah. There's actually this piece I really love
that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and
she's only 2. B: Wow. What animal does she like? A: Monkeys. She's obsessed. B: That's really cute. A: Hi, how are you? B: I'm doing great, you? A: I'm really good. B: I'm glad to hear that.

B: What's that? A: It's a noodle dish with peanuts. I love it. B: Cool! I'll have to try it. Where is the restaurant? A: It's downtown, right on Main St. next to
the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

Cup. A: You're going? That's amazing. I'd love to go! B: I'm saving up my vacation time at work
so I can go. A: Wow that's so cool. Who do think will win? B: Well, it's hard to say, but I want Argentina
to win! A: Why's that? B: Because they have Messi, the best player
in the world! A: Hey, I think I'm going to have a party
tonight! B: Wow, that sounds like fun! A: Yeah, it's a surprise party for me boyfriend. You should come! B: I'd love to. I've never been to a surprise party before. A: Really? It's going to be so much fun. B: What's the plan? A: I'm going to take my boyfriend to dinner... B: Ah, and that's when we all go in your house? A: Exactly! And when we get in, everyone should jump out
and yell, “Surprise!” B: Oh, wow. It's going to be so much fun! A: Yes! B: See you later! A: Did you hear about Sarah? B: No, what happened. A: Oh, she broke her leg! B: No! That's terrible! How? A: I know. She broke it in a skiing accident. B: Oh man, that's bad news. Is she okay? A: Yeah, I think so. But she can't go out. B: Well, we should go visit her and cheer
her up! A: Yes, we should. When do you want to go? B: Let's see, I can't tonight, how about tomorrow? A: Works for me. Let's bring her some magazines. B: Great idea! A: Do you think we should go sailing this
weekend? B: That sounds like a great idea. A: Right? But I'm a little worried about the weather? B: Really? What is it supposed to be like? A: I saw on the weather report that it will
be sunny. B: That sound perfect! A: But it also said that there's a chance
of rain. B: Well, maybe we shouldn't risk it. A: Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get stuck
in the rain. B: Me neither. A: Let's go see a movie instead. B: Great idea. A: Did I tell you, I'm getting married? B: No, you didn't. Congratulations. A: Thanks. I'm really happy. B: I bet.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying.

work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts

that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and

the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

weekend? B: Well, I'm not sure. A: I heard there's a free music festival,
my boyfriend and I are going. B: Really, where? A: In the park? B: Oh, cool. What kind of music will there be? A: Mostly rock, I think. B: Maybe I'll ask my girlfriend if she wants

tonight. B: That's a very nice thing to do. A: Yeah, but I don't know what to cook! B: Ha ha, well what do you know how to cook? A: Spaghetti, that's it! B: Well, I'm sure he'd love spaghetti, everybody
does! A: Yeah that's true. What do you know how to cook? B: I like to make lasagna. A: Oh, that sounds delicious! B: It is. Would you like me to pass you the recipe? A: That would be amazing.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying. A: Tell me about it! B: There's an annoying person at my work too. A: I guess there's one at every workplace. B: That is so true! A: Did you see the new Game of Thrones episode? B: No! And no spoilers! A: I can't believe you haven't seen it yet! B: I haven't had a chance. A: But it's been out for 4 days already. B: I know! And it's all anyone talks about online. A: Have you managed to avoid reading spoilers? B: Yes! I just don't go online until I've seen the
episode. A: That seems hard. Why haven't you seen it? B: I've been so busy at work, I've had to
work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts
of different people. B: Wow. I hadn't thought of it like that. A: Well, maybe I should check out some video
games. B: And maybe I should check out some books! A: What do you think about buying art? B: What do you mean? Like posters? A: No, like original pieces of art. B: I don't know, how much does that sort of
thing cost. A: Well, anywhere from a few hundred dollars
to millions. B: Wow, well I guess you'd have to be pretty
sure you like it. A: Yeah. There's actually this piece I really love
that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and
she's only 2. B: Wow. What animal does she like? A: Monkeys. She's obsessed. B: That's really cute. A: Hi, how are you? B: I'm doing great, you? A: I'm really good. B: I'm glad to hear that.

B: What's that? A: It's a noodle dish with peanuts. I love it. B: Cool! I'll have to try it. Where is the restaurant? A: It's downtown, right on Main St. next to
the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

Cup. A: You're going? That's amazing. I'd love to go! B: I'm saving up my vacation time at work
so I can go. A: Wow that's so cool. Who do think will win? B: Well, it's hard to say, but I want Argentina
to win! A: Why's that? B: Because they have Messi, the best player
in the world! A: Hey, I think I'm going to have a party
tonight! B: Wow, that sounds like fun! A: Yeah, it's a surprise party for me boyfriend. You should come! B: I'd love to. I've never been to a surprise party before. A: Really? It's going to be so much fun. B: What's the plan? A: I'm going to take my boyfriend to dinner... B: Ah, and that's when we all go in your house? A: Exactly! And when we get in, everyone should jump out
and yell, “Surprise!” B: Oh, wow. It's going to be so much fun! A: Yes! B: See you later! A: Did you hear about Sarah? B: No, what happened. A: Oh, she broke her leg! B: No! That's terrible! How? A: I know. She broke it in a skiing accident. B: Oh man, that's bad news. Is she okay? A: Yeah, I think so. But she can't go out. B: Well, we should go visit her and cheer
her up! A: Yes, we should. When do you want to go? B: Let's see, I can't tonight, how about tomorrow? A: Works for me. Let's bring her some magazines. B: Great idea! A: Do you think we should go sailing this
weekend? B: That sounds like a great idea. A: Right? But I'm a little worried about the weather? B: Really? What is it supposed to be like? A: I saw on the weather report that it will
be sunny. B: That sound perfect! A: But it also said that there's a chance
of rain. B: Well, maybe we shouldn't risk it. A: Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get stuck
in the rain. B: Me neither. A: Let's go see a movie instead. B: Great idea. A: Did I tell you, I'm getting married? B: No, you didn't. Congratulations. A: Thanks. I'm really happy. B: I bet.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying.

work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts

that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and

the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

weekend? B: Well, I'm not sure. A: I heard there's a free music festival,
my boyfriend and I are going. B: Really, where? A: In the park? B: Oh, cool. What kind of music will there be? A: Mostly rock, I think. B: Maybe I'll ask my girlfriend if she wants

tonight. B: That's a very nice thing to do. A: Yeah, but I don't know what to cook! B: Ha ha, well what do you know how to cook? A: Spaghetti, that's it! B: Well, I'm sure he'd love spaghetti, everybody
does! A: Yeah that's true. What do you know how to cook? B: I like to make lasagna. A: Oh, that sounds delicious! B: It is. Would you like me to pass you the recipe? A: That would be amazing.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying. A: Tell me about it! B: There's an annoying person at my work too. A: I guess there's one at every workplace. B: That is so true! A: Did you see the new Game of Thrones episode? B: No! And no spoilers! A: I can't believe you haven't seen it yet! B: I haven't had a chance. A: But it's been out for 4 days already. B: I know! And it's all anyone talks about online. A: Have you managed to avoid reading spoilers? B: Yes! I just don't go online until I've seen the
episode. A: That seems hard. Why haven't you seen it? B: I've been so busy at work, I've had to
work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts
of different people. B: Wow. I hadn't thought of it like that. A: Well, maybe I should check out some video
games. B: And maybe I should check out some books! A: What do you think about buying art? B: What do you mean? Like posters? A: No, like original pieces of art. B: I don't know, how much does that sort of
thing cost. A: Well, anywhere from a few hundred dollars
to millions. B: Wow, well I guess you'd have to be pretty
sure you like it. A: Yeah. There's actually this piece I really love
that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and
she's only 2. B: Wow. What animal does she like? A: Monkeys. She's obsessed. B: That's really cute. A: Hi, how are you? B: I'm doing great, you? A: I'm really good. B: I'm glad to hear that.

B: What's that? A: It's a noodle dish with peanuts. I love it. B: Cool! I'll have to try it. Where is the restaurant? A: It's downtown, right on Main St. next to
the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

Cup. A: You're going? That's amazing. I'd love to go! B: I'm saving up my vacation time at work
so I can go. A: Wow that's so cool. Who do think will win? B: Well, it's hard to say, but I want Argentina
to win! A: Why's that? B: Because they have Messi, the best player
in the world! A: Hey, I think I'm going to have a party
tonight! B: Wow, that sounds like fun! A: Yeah, it's a surprise party for me boyfriend. You should come! B: I'd love to. I've never been to a surprise party before. A: Really? It's going to be so much fun. B: What's the plan? A: I'm going to take my boyfriend to dinner... B: Ah, and that's when we all go in your house? A: Exactly! And when we get in, everyone should jump out
and yell, “Surprise!” B: Oh, wow. It's going to be so much fun! A: Yes! B: See you later! A: Did you hear about Sarah? B: No, what happened. A: Oh, she broke her leg! B: No! That's terrible! How? A: I know. She broke it in a skiing accident. B: Oh man, that's bad news. Is she okay? A: Yeah, I think so. But she can't go out. B: Well, we should go visit her and cheer
her up! A: Yes, we should. When do you want to go? B: Let's see, I can't tonight, how about tomorrow? A: Works for me. Let's bring her some magazines. B: Great idea! A: Do you think we should go sailing this
weekend? B: That sounds like a great idea. A: Right? But I'm a little worried about the weather? B: Really? What is it supposed to be like? A: I saw on the weather report that it will
be sunny. B: That sound perfect! A: But it also said that there's a chance
of rain. B: Well, maybe we shouldn't risk it. A: Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get stuck
in the rain. B: Me neither. A: Let's go see a movie instead. B: Great idea. A: Did I tell you, I'm getting married? B: No, you didn't. Congratulations. A: Thanks. I'm really happy. B: I bet.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying.

work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts

that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and

the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

weekend? B: Well, I'm not sure. A: I heard there's a free music festival,
my boyfriend and I are going. B: Really, where? A: In the park? B: Oh, cool. What kind of music will there be? A: Mostly rock, I think. B: Maybe I'll ask my girlfriend if she wants

tonight. B: That's a very nice thing to do. A: Yeah, but I don't know what to cook! B: Ha ha, well what do you know how to cook? A: Spaghetti, that's it! B: Well, I'm sure he'd love spaghetti, everybody
does! A: Yeah that's true. What do you know how to cook? B: I like to make lasagna. A: Oh, that sounds delicious! B: It is. Would you like me to pass you the recipe? A: That would be amazing.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying. A: Tell me about it! B: There's an annoying person at my work too. A: I guess there's one at every workplace. B: That is so true! A: Did you see the new Game of Thrones episode? B: No! And no spoilers! A: I can't believe you haven't seen it yet! B: I haven't had a chance. A: But it's been out for 4 days already. B: I know! And it's all anyone talks about online. A: Have you managed to avoid reading spoilers? B: Yes! I just don't go online until I've seen the
episode. A: That seems hard. Why haven't you seen it? B: I've been so busy at work, I've had to
work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts
of different people. B: Wow. I hadn't thought of it like that. A: Well, maybe I should check out some video
games. B: And maybe I should check out some books! A: What do you think about buying art? B: What do you mean? Like posters? A: No, like original pieces of art. B: I don't know, how much does that sort of
thing cost. A: Well, anywhere from a few hundred dollars
to millions. B: Wow, well I guess you'd have to be pretty
sure you like it. A: Yeah. There's actually this piece I really love
that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and
she's only 2. B: Wow. What animal does she like? A: Monkeys. She's obsessed. B: That's really cute. A: Hi, how are you? B: I'm doing great, you? A: I'm really good. B: I'm glad to hear that.

B: What's that? A: It's a noodle dish with peanuts. I love it. B: Cool! I'll have to try it. Where is the restaurant? A: It's downtown, right on Main St. next to
the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

Cup. A: You're going? That's amazing. I'd love to go! B: I'm saving up my vacation time at work
so I can go. A: Wow that's so cool. Who do think will win? B: Well, it's hard to say, but I want Argentina
to win! A: Why's that? B: Because they have Messi, the best player
in the world! A: Hey, I think I'm going to have a party
tonight! B: Wow, that sounds like fun! A: Yeah, it's a surprise party for me boyfriend. You should come! B: I'd love to. I've never been to a surprise party before. A: Really? It's going to be so much fun. B: What's the plan? A: I'm going to take my boyfriend to dinner... B: Ah, and that's when we all go in your house? A: Exactly! And when we get in, everyone should jump out
and yell, “Surprise!” B: Oh, wow. It's going to be so much fun! A: Yes! B: See you later! A: Did you hear about Sarah? B: No, what happened. A: Oh, she broke her leg! B: No! That's terrible! How? A: I know. She broke it in a skiing accident. B: Oh man, that's bad news. Is she okay? A: Yeah, I think so. But she can't go out. B: Well, we should go visit her and cheer
her up! A: Yes, we should. When do you want to go? B: Let's see, I can't tonight, how about tomorrow? A: Works for me. Let's bring her some magazines. B: Great idea! A: Do you think we should go sailing this
weekend? B: That sounds like a great idea. A: Right? But I'm a little worried about the weather? B: Really? What is it supposed to be like? A: I saw on the weather report that it will
be sunny. B: That sound perfect! A: But it also said that there's a chance
of rain. B: Well, maybe we shouldn't risk it. A: Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get stuck
in the rain. B: Me neither. A: Let's go see a movie instead. B: Great idea. A: Did I tell you, I'm getting married? B: No, you didn't. Congratulations. A: Thanks. I'm really happy. B: I bet.

my neighborhood. A: Do you listen to music while you run? B: Oh, of course. It keeps me going. A: I love listening to music at the gym. B: What kinds of things do you do at the gym? A: I love taking Zumba classes. B: Wow. That sounds like fun. A: I have to tell you something. B: What? A: I have a new coworker at work. He's so annoying! B: Ha ha. Oh, no. That's terrible. Why is he annoying? A: He comes over to my desk and eats my snacks. B: What? That's crazy. Have you asked him to stop? A: Yeah, but he just laughs and eats more! B: That's so annoying.

work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books
about traveling. B: I love video games because you get to play
different characters. A: That's the same way I feel about books! B: Interesting. A: Yeah, in books you get to be all sorts

that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about
all sorts of animals. A: It really is. My niece already has a favorite animal and

the movie theater. B: Great. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend there and then
go see a movie! A: Man, I would love to get out of the city. B: Oh, me too. Do you ever go camping? A: Yes! I love camping. It's such a good escape from everyday life. B: Absolutely! I love camping and cooking over an open fire. A: Me too! I love sleeping outside and hearing all the
nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then
hike for about 45 minutes. B: Sounds amazing. Thanks! A: Do you like going to the theater? B: Do you mean the movie theater? A: No, I mean to a play in a theater. B: Oh, yes, in fact I do.

work at home too. A: That sounds awful. B: No kidding! A: I'm reading a great book right now. B: Oh really, I don't like reading. A: How can you say that? B: I just find it boring. I'd rather play video games. A: I love reading. I love all sorts of books, especially books

sure you like it. A: Yeah. There's actually this piece I really love
that I'm thinking about buying. B: What is it a picture of? A: It's an abstract painting, so it's not
really of anything. B: Weird. So, why do you like it? A: I just do. It's hard to explain. B: Then you should get it! A: I think I'm going to take my niece to the
zoo this weekend. B: That sounds fun. But aren't zoos a little sad? A: Why do you say that? B: Well, the animals are all locked up. A: Oh, yeah that's true sometimes, but I know
of one where they pretty much roam free. B: Oh, well in that case, I think it sounds
great. A: Yeah. Animals are so interesting and kids love them. B: I'm sure it's a great way to learn about

nature sounds. B: Oh yes, but you have to watch out for bears! A: I know, but if you make sure you don't
leave food out, it's okay. B: Do you know of any good campsites? A: Yes! There is a perfect place a few hours from
here in the mountains. B: Cool! You'll have to tell me how to get there! A: Sure. You have to drive a few hours north and then

to win! A: Why's that? B: Because they have Messi, the best player
in the world! A: Hey, I think I'm going to have a party
tonight! B: Wow, that sounds like fun! A: Yeah, it's a surprise party for me boyfriend. You should come! B: I'd love to. I've never been to a surprise party before. A: Really? It's going to be so much fun. B: What's the plan? A: I'm going to take my boyfriend to dinner... B: Ah, and that's when we all go in your house? A: Exactly! And when we get in, everyone should jump out
and yell, “Surprise!” B: Oh, wow. It's going to be so much fun! A: Yes! B: See you later! A: Did you hear about Sarah? B: No, what happened. A: Oh, she broke her leg! B: No! That's terrible! How?

her up! A: Yes, we should. When do you want to go? B: Let's see, I can't tonight, how about tomorrow? A: Works for me. Let's bring her some magazines. B: Great idea! A: Do you think we should go sailing this
weekend? B: That sounds like a great idea. A: Right? But I'm a little worried about the weather? B: Really? What is it supposed to be like? A: I saw on the weather report that it will
be sunny. B: That sound perfect! A: But it also said that there's a chance
of rain. B: Well, maybe we shouldn't risk it. A: Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get stuck
in the rain. B: Me neither. A: Let's go see a movie instead. B: Great idea. A: Did I tell you, I'm getting married? B: No, you didn't. Congratulations. A: Thanks. I'm really happy. B: I bet.
