While Peter talks to Mr. Yamaha,
141
Helen walks to the post office to send some letters and postcards.
142
Her mother in England loves to receive postcards.
143
Helen feels sad when she hears from someone
144
that the post office is closed today.
145
She then goes to the bank to get some money
146
and to the supermarket to buy some food.
147
The children walk through the park in the hot sun.
148
They enjoy looking at the different kinds of local animals and plants.
149
After a while they get thirsty.
150
Mark: “Let’s get something to drink.
151
I’m very thirsty.”
152
Mary: “I need to go to the toilet.
153
I hope there is one nearby.”
154
Paul: “Look! There is a restaurant over there.
155
I’m sure we can use the toilet there
156
and buy a drink.”
157
The sister and brothers run fast to the restaurant,
158
open the door quickly and go in.
159
Mary gives the boys some money
160
and goes to the toilet.
161
The boys buy two bottles of fruit juice
162
and take three glasses,
163
so that they can share the drinks.
164
They sit down by a group of young tourists from Mexico.
165
When Mary comes back,
166
she starts talking to a Mexican girl, Marcela,
167
who is sitting next to her.
168
Mary: “Hi, how are you?
169
Are you enjoying yourself here?”
170
Marcela: “I don’t understand.
171
Would you repeat that slowly, please?”
172
Mary (speaking slowly): “Oh, I’m sorry.
173
Are you enjoying yourself here?”
174
Marcela: “Yes, I am happy to be here.
175
I like Hawaii very much.
176
I like the nice weather.”
177
Mary: “You are a big group.
178
Where do you come from?”
179
Marcela: “We are a class from a school in Mexico.
180
The school year is finished
181
and now we want to have fun together.
182
We go on a trip together every year.”
183
Mary: “Really? Would you like to be my guest tomorrow?
184
We can do some things together.
185
Maybe we can swim in the swimming pool of our hotel,
186
or we can go to the beach.”
187
Marcela: “Wonderful! Where shall we meet?”
188
Mary: “Let’s meet here in this same park in the afternoon.”
189
Marcela: “Great! At what time?”
190
Mary: “At four o’clock?”
191
Marcela: “Okay. See you then!”
192
Mary: “It was nice talking to you.
193
Bye bye! See you tomorrow!”
