◦ Lauren: Hi—you must be Sarah. I can tell from your picture. I’m Lauren. Finally we meet! So we’re going to be roomies
this semester!
◦ Sarah: Yes, I recognize you from your photo, too! I’m so glad to meet you in person—and I see from your T-shirt that you
like baseball. I’m a big fan, too!
◦ Lauren: Well, the T-shirt was a going-away present from my brother, who’s a baseball player. Look on the back—it has a
photo of all the players on his team. They actually won the city championship this summer.
◦ Sarah: That’s awesome. I tell you, I’m not very athletic, but I love to watch baseball, even if it’s a Little League game. You
could say I’m a professional spectator. What about you, do you play a sport?
◦ Lauren: Yes, I play tennis. As a matter of fact, I have a scholarship, and I’m going to play for the university. Now tell me,
what else do you like to do?
◦ Sarah: Well—what I like to do best is dance. I’m studying classical ballet, but I also like to dance to popular music.
◦ Lauren: Cool. We have a lot in common. I like to dance, too. Think you’ll be up for checking out the local clubs this
weekend?
◦ Sarah: Oh, yeah. And the restaurants, too. Speaking of which—are you hungry? I’d love to grab a bite before it gets too
late. I’m starving!
◦ Lauren: Are you kidding me? I’m always up for going out! How about trying the place up the street? I’m kind of hungry
for a good hamburger.
◦Later:
◦ Sarah: Lauren, what do you think of our room?
◦ Lauren: To be honest with you, I really can’t stand that dark color on the walls. It’s, like, really depressing. I prefer light
colors. Plus, I’d like to change the rug and the bedspreads. Do you like them?
◦ Sarah: No, I agree with you. They’re horrible. With a couple of coats of paint and a few small changes, we’ll make this
room comfortable and cozy. Everybody will want to hang out here.
◦ Lauren: Man, I’m so relieved! I think we’re really going to get along. I’m going to call my mom right now and tell her
how cool my new roomie is.
