Karen: Hello.
Tony: Hi, is Karen there?
Karen: Speaking.
Tony: Hey, Karen. Tony here, from the gym. How are you?
Karen: Hi Tony, I'm good. How are you?
Tony: I'm doing great. I didn't see you at the gym last week - is everything OK?
Karen: Yes, wow, that's sweet of you to ask. The reason I didn't show up at the gym is, I had my finals last week.
Tony: Tough week, huh?
Karen: Tell me about it! I slept all weekend, I was so tired.
Tony: Well, I hope all this hard work paid off! How did you do?
Karen: It's hard to tell since the results aren't out yet, but I think I did pretty well in general.
Tony: I'm glad to know. Listen, what are you doing tomorrow night?
Karen: Nothing special. Why?
Tony: Uh, would you like to have dinner?
Karen: Sounds good! Where are we going?
Tony: How about some Italian? I know a very nice place nearby.
Karen: Great, I love Italian.
Tony: So, I'll pick you up at 7.
Karen: Sounds good. See you then.
Tony: Great, bye.

Hoje temos o texto de uma cartinha, em que Alison conta de seu fim de semana numa cidade de praia. Depois, é claro, vem o quiz. Enjoy!
Aqui vai: Dear Shannon,
Stephen and I had an amazing weekend at Grassdale. We got there Friday afternoon, left our bags at the hotel and went straight to the beach. We went snorkeling for about an hour, then we took a stroll along the beach up to 2nd Avenue.
The shops were still open, so of course we did some souvenir shopping (I got you a nice shirt!) From there we took a cab to the hotel, showered and left again for a great
seafood meal.
On Saturday we had a light breakfast at the hotel. Then, we went to the beach again but this time I relaxed on a chair all morning. Stephen had a quick swim and then came back to join me. You won't recognize us when you see us - we got great tans! In the afternoon we rented a sailboat and went sailing.
On Sunday we hung out by the pool at the hotel till noon, and took a cab to the shops again. On the way there we stopped by another seafood place for a quick bite. I wanted to go shopping, but Stephen wanted to go to the beach again, so we parted ways but later met up again around 6.
We had just enough time to go back to the hotel, pack our bags and check out. It was a fun trip!
Love,
Alison
