Thank you very much
You : Hi Mike, it’s Quentin. I’m your French penpal. How are you ?
Your penpal : Hey, Quentin! I’m fine. What about you ? Here it’s 8 am. What’s up ?
You : I’m great, thanks. Oh, yes it’s early there ! Here it’s 4 pm. I’m calling to plan my trip to Los Angeles to come and see you.
Your penpal : Yes, that’s great ! We’ll have so much fun. I can’t wait for you to come ! When are you coming ?
You : I’m coming on July 1st at 6:30 pm.
Your penpal : Okay. I believe you leave on July 15th at 11:15 am. Right ?
You : That’s right.
Your penpal : That’s awesome. You will be here for July 4th.
You : What happens on July 4th ?
Your penpal : It’s the National holiday. We go see fireworks and we have picnics.
You : That sounds fun. What else can we do when I am there?
Your penpal : I live in Los Angeles, California. If you want we can go to the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame and to Universal Studios. How does it sound?
You : It sounds great. I would love that! Can we go see the Golden Gate? I believe it is in California.
Your penpal : Yes, it is in California but it is far from Los Angeles. It is a 7-hour drive.
You : Oh okay, I see. It’s too far. Can we go to the beach?
Your penpal : No problem! Bring your swimsuit! I’m sorry. I have to go. It’s time to go to school.
You : No problem. Have a nice day! Talk to you soon.
Your penpal : Talk to you soon, bye!
You : Bye.
