Hey, I’m going to go shopping this weekend. Do you want to come? I’m thinking about buying a
new smartphone. I saw a newspaper last night and there’s a big sale at Super Communications
with a 15% discount on all new smartphones, Apple computers, and color printers. My parents
gave me some money yesterday afternoon. It’s an early birthday present! I hope you can come.
Give me a call later today (when you wake up… ha ha)!
