  (L) Laura (A) Anna
 
A: Wow! Looks amazing. What did you do yesterday? 09:53
 
L: I went to
  the top of the tower! This is my favorite picture.               09:57
 
A: Cool! Have you ever been to Seattle before? The weather looks great, but I heard it
rains a lot there.          09:59

L: This is  my first time. My mom’s been here many times before and my dad’s been a
few times  too, but not me! You’re right about the rain. It hasn’t rained yet, though. The
weather’s really good. BUT it might rain tomorrow. If it rains, I’ll probably go shopping
with Mom. If it doesn’t, I might play soccer or go to the outdoor movie theater in the
square.
 
10:01
 
A: Sounds like fun . Tomorrow I’m going to play tennis with Ray and George. Ray
thinks he’s really good at tennis, but I’m better than him. I’m going to beat him tomorrow!
I’m not as  good as George though. … Would you like to come and visit me when you get
 
home on Saturday? 10:03

L: Oh, I’d love to. If I didn’t have to visit my grandparents that day, I would. How about
the next day? 10:05

A: Perfect! Let’s meet at the park. By the way, have you finished your science project
yet? I’ve finished mine already. George and Ray said they’ve been working on theirs
since Tuesday. They hope to finish tomorrow. 10:07

L: I’ve finished mine too! I kind of wish I hadn’t finished though. Then I could’ve spent more time enjoying the beautiful
countryside around Seattle! I should’ve waited until I got home to start. Besides, I could’ve gone to the soccer game on
Friday if I hadn’t been doing my project.
