Boy 1: Wouldn’t it be great if we could go on a vacation together?
Girl 1: Yeah. That would be wonderful!
Boy 1: Where would we go?
Girl 1: Well, I hope to visit Hawaii one day. Would you be interested in going there?
Boy 2: Sure! I like places where the weather is always warm.
Boy 1: But Hawaii is too touristy. Maybe we could go to Mexico. I love places where the people are really friendly.
Boy 2: Well, Mexico would be nice, but we don’t know the language. I hope to see Niagara Falls someday. What about going there?
Girl 1: Niagara Falls would be beautiful, but there’s not much to do there. Why don’t we all go to San Francisco together? It has everything—beautiful views, friendly people, exciting things to do…
Boy 2: That’s not a bad idea… if you pay for it!
