Dialogue 1
E: How are you doing,Christopher?
C: To be honest, I'm really fed up with work at the moment. I need a break!
E: Are you doing anything this weekend?
C: I have to work on saturday all day! I really hate my job!
E: Are you available on Sunday?
C: Yes, it's my only day off until Thursday.
E: OK, well, my friends and I are planning on going to the beach on Sunday. We tend to leave around noon whenever we go anywhere, so you could still sleep in. Do you want to come with us?
C: That'd be fantastic! Which beach are you going to?
E: It's a quiet beach just about an hour outside of the city.
C: What should I bring with me?
E: We've got plenty of inflatables,but if you want to sit on a chair, you'll have to bring your own sunlounger.
C: I can just use my beach towel. I love lazing around in the sun.
E: Do you like surfing?
C: I've actually never tried. Do you have a surfboard?
E: We've got a few. I can teach you how to surf on Sunday. It'll be fun!
C: I can't wait! It sounds like we're going to have a great time. How much money should I bring?
E: You'll just need roughly $10 for food and gas money. My friend is driving, so we usually all chip in a few dollars for gas money.
C: OK, where and when should I meet you?
E: We'll pick you up at your at noon. Be there or be square!
Dialogue 2
C: Thanks so much for inviting me! Spending the day in the sun made me feel as if I were in a different world.
E: We're glad you came. What did you think of the sunset?
C: It was amazing! Watching the sunset over the lake was such a delight for me.
E: It was really beautiful wasn't it? Did you feel a bit more relaxed afterwards?
C: Definitely. I actually had a very restful time.
E: How about your sunburn? Has it started peeling yet?
C: Yes, I've been shedding my skin left and right, but it's not as itchy as it was on Monday.
E: I'm so sorry about that. I should have reminded you to use some sunscreen.
C: Don't worry; It's not your fault. I should have known better, sunbathing in hot weather all day!
E: Say, I knew that you have a three-day weekend this week. Do you want to go camping with us?
C: I'd love to, but I don't have a tent.
E: Don't worry. We can find an extra one for you. We plan on staying at the camping site at night and then going hiking during the day.
C: Great. I'll bring the sunscreen this time.
