Tom : Hello
Janet : Hi, Tom! This is Janet. What are you doing?
Tom : Hello, Janet. I'm thinking about my future.
Janet : Oh, really? Wow. What are you thinking about?
Tom : I'm wondering where I will be in 5 more years. How will the world be?
Janet : Really! I know that I will be working in a big company and I think the
world will be the same as it is now.
Tom : I think the world will be different.
Janet : What do you mean by different?
Tom : We will travel to space and to other planets. There will be cars that use
water instead of gasoline. Also the cars will be able to fly. There won't be
any traffic on the ground. Everything in our houses will be activated with
our voices.
Janet : Do you really think that it will be that way?
Tom : Of course, my dear. We are in the 21st century. The future is out there
for us to explore.
Janet : In that case, I want one of those cars that fly! And, where can I buy
tickets to go to the moon this summer?

Hi! I'm Bill. I'm sharing an apartment in Miami with my roommates, Andy and Monica.
She is a very tidy girl. So everything is in its place in her room. All of her clothes are in
her closet, the make-up is in her drawer and her books are on the shelves. On the
contrary, Andy is very messy. His clothes are all over the room, his books are on the
floor and his cordless phone near the shower. My room is not incredibly tidy nor messy.
My jeans are on top of the closet and my tennis shoes are on the bottom. It's just that I
put all the rest of my stuff under my bed!
