Hi Kurt!
Hi Kate!
It's nice to see you again on such a fine day!
I am glad to see you too!
Hey, I was talking with everyone about their summer plans but I haven't heard from you what you are going to be doing.
It's cause you never asked.
Well, I am asking you now.
Ok, I will tell you. This summer my familly and I are going to go to the Azov sea. We have some relative's there. I really enjoy going there. I am able to meet my cousins and old friends, go swimming and have a great time!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
It sure will be! So now about you. What are you going to be doing this summer.
First, I am going to go to my grandmothers summer house and help her with her garden. My friends will be organising a hike to the Karpathian mountains so I will be joining them for some time. And last but not least, I am going to go to Germany. My parents have been wanting to go see it for a very long time and now they finally got the oppertunity. And I am going to go with them.
Oh, so thats why you are so interested in my summer plans.
Why?
So you can show of with your cool summer!
No. I really was interested in knowing what your summer will be like.
Yeah, whatever. See you in class Kate!
