No, have you?

yeah, i saw her two years ago. she was amazing

Really?

yeah, she sang all of her best songs, and her band was great.

Well, apparently, her new album is really good. Lets go to the concert!

yeah, ok

i love this song. its eeally good for dancing.

really? i dont like it. i think hip hop is too loud. i always have to turn down the volume

i like most hip hop i think the beat is catchy you know, you have to meve and the lyrics have
good social messages.

i guess i prefer pop. its really upbeat, you know it makes you feel good.

i find most pop songs just silly the lyrics arent relevant or interesting. and its so repetitive
you know, the same tune or words over and over again.

what about jazz? now thats repetitive and its really ald fashioned, like from when our
grandparents were young.

i disagree. for me the really old stuff is fantastic. i like to listen to it in the evenings. i find it
really relaxing
have you seen this band before? has visto esta banda antes?
no i havent but i thibk they are great! No, no lo he hecho, ¡pero creo
que son geniales!

let is make a list of what we need to do.

good idea. ok, first, we have to contact the gas company and the power company.

yes, and we have to contact the telephone company about connecting the phone line.

why? we dont need to get a home phone line, zack. we both have cell phones.

but we need a home phone line fot the internet.

that is true

let is see, what else? we dont have to paint the bedroom because the paint is ok in there,
but we need to paint the kitchen and the living room because the walls in those rooms are
an awful color.
