Wayne : He’s right. I’d rather go somewhere different.
Alison : Well, would you like to go to London?
Wayne : Yes, that’s a good idea.
Alison : We can spend the day at Regent’s Park. It’s really beautiful and there’s lots to do
there.
Wayne : That’s sounds good. Do you want to do that, Josh?
Josh : Do what, Dad?
Wayne : Do you want to go to Regent’s Park?

really good open air theater.

you asking her?

where you drive around and look at all the lions and tigers and monkeys from your
car.
Alison : That sounds quite dangerous.
Josh : It isn’t if you don’t open the windows!
Wayne : And you can see animals in Regent’s park. That’s where London zoo is!
