Task 5. Clarification (At home)

Conversation 1
Susan: It’s great to see you, David. Have you been in San Carlos long?
David: Just a few days. I’m really excited to be here.
Susan: I can’t wait to show you around. Have you been to La Fortuna yet?
David: Yeah. I’ve already been to La Fortuna once. I went hiking, and I also took a zip lining and whit- water rafting tour.
It was my first time doing extreme sports. I liked it a lot.
Susan: Oh well, have you tried the cave spelunking in El Venado Caves? I have heard it is really exciting.
David: No, I haven’t. What is it about?
Susan: It is the most extreme version of hiking. You hike through dark caves with a flashlight, and the trail won’t be easy.
You’ll need to climb over rocks, forge through streams and ponds, and explore dead-end caverns before making it out.
David: Wow! That’s definitely something I want to do. When should we go?
Susan: What about Sunday? We need to take a bus to Monterrey and then a taxi to El Venado
David: It sounds perfect to me.
Susan: Great! Let’s meet at the bus station at 7:00 am.
David: Sure! I´ll see you then. Thanks for the invite.
Susan: My pleasure!

Conversation 2
Gabby: Hey, Michael. I’ve seen you’re really into sports. What kinds of sports do you practice?
Michael: I've always liked extreme sports: waterfall rappelling, paragliding, bungee jumping, zip lining, and many others.
Gabby: I didn't know you were so adventurous.
Michael: Well, I like to feel the adrenaline. I usually practice extreme sports at least twice a month.
Gabby: Wow! What sport have you enjoyed the most?
Michael: Oh, definitely sky diving. It’s kind of expensive to do it, but it’s worth the money. You’ll jump through the sky
with a parachute and a trained, certified guide. During your several minutes in the air, you’ll get the best views imaginable
of this tropical country!
Gabby: It sounds great!

Michael: What about if you try it?

Gabby: I don’t know. I’m afraid of heights.

Michael: Come on. Let’s do it. I’ll jump too.

Gabby: Okay. I´ll do it.

Michael: Great! I´ll call a couple of friends and everything will be ready for next Saturday.
Gabby: Well, it sounds like a plan!
