Situation: Laurie,
Christie, and Sarah are making plans for the coming weekend.
Laurie: So, what are your
plans for this weekend?
Christie: I don’t know. Do
you want to get together or something?
Sarah: How about going to
see a movie? Cinemax 26 on Carson Boulevard is showing Enchanted.
Laurie: That sounds like
a good idea. Maybe we should go out to eat beforehand.
Sarah: It is fine with me.
Where do you want to meet?
Christie: Let’s meet at
Summer Pizza House. I have not gone there for a long time.
Laurie: Good idea again. I
heard they just came up with a new pizza. It should be good because Summer
Pizza House always has the best pizza in town.
Sarah: When should we meet?
Christie: Well, the movie is
shown at 2:00PM, 4:00PM, 6:00PM and 8:00PM.
Laurie: Why don’t we go to
the 2:00PM show? We can meet at Summer Pizza House at noon. That will give us
plenty of time to enjoy our pizza.
Sarah: My cousin Karen is
in town. Can I bring her along? I hate to leave her home alone.
Christie: Karen is in town?
Yes, bring her along. Laurie, you remember Karen? We met her at Sara’s high
school graduation party two years ago.
Laurie: I do not quite
remember her. What does she look like?
Sarah: She has blond hair,
she is kind of slender, and she is about your height.
Laurie: She wears
eyeglasses, right?
Sarah: Yes, and she was
playing the piano off and on during the party.
Laurie: I remember her now.
Yes, do bring her along Sara. She is such a nice person, and funny too.
Sarah: She will be happy
to meet both of you again.
Christie: What is she doing
these days?
Sarah: She graduated last
June, and she will start her teaching career next week when the new school term
begins.
Laurie: What grade is she
going to teach?
Sarah: She will teach
kindergarten. She loves working with kids, and she always has such a good
rapport with them.
Christie: Kindergarten? She
must be a very patient person. I always think kindergarten is the most
difficult class to teach. Most of the kids have never been to school, and they
have never been away from mommy for long.
Sarah: I think Karen will
do fine. She knows how to handle young children.
Laurie: I think the first
few weeks will be tough. However, once the routine is set, it should not be too
difficult to teach kindergarten.
Christie: You are right. The
kids might even look forward to going to school since they have so many friends
to play with.
Sarah: There are so many
new things for them to do at school too. They do a lot of crafts in
Laurie: Yes, I have seen my
niece come home with so many neat stuff.
Christie: Maybe we can ask
Karen to show us some of the things that we can do for this Halloween.
Laurie: Maybe we can stop
by the craft store after the movie. What do you think, Sara?
Sarah: I will talk to her.
I think she will like that. It will help her with school projects when Halloween
comes.
Christie: Michael’s is a good
store for crafts. It always carries a variety of things, and you can find
almost anything there.
Laurie: There is a Michaels
store not far away from Cinemax 26. I believe it is just around the corner, on
Pioneer Avenue. We can even walk over there.
Sarah: So, we plan to meet
for pizza at noon, go to the movies at two, and shop at Michael’s
afterward. Right?
Laurie and
Christie: Yes.
