1. M: For the winter break some friends want me to go on a trip with them, but my uncle in
Hong Kong would also like me to visit him. What should I do?

3. W: For our California trip, I’ve packed light clothes, toiletries, pajamas, and my camera. Anything else you can think of?

4. M: Thanksgiving weekend is coming up. What are you doing for the holidays?
W: Why? The usual of course: reading, watching TV, washing clothes…
M: How about a trip to a hunting cabin in the mountains?
W: That’s interesting. The trouble is I’ve never even fired a gun. But it’ll be a chance to get away from the books for a while.
