Eric: Hi Jill.
Jill: Hi, Eric.
Eric: How’s it going? How was your weekend in Washington, D.C.?
Jill: Fantastic! It was really a great time.
Eric: Oh yeah? What did you do there?
Jill: Well, first, I took a bus tour of the city. It really is such a beautiful place – so many interesting buildings and monuments. I love the Washington Monument.
Eric: Yeah. The monument is incredible.
Jill: Then I went to the Smithsonian Museum. There’s always so much stuff to see there.
Eric: Yeah, I saw a great dinosaur exhibition the last time I was there. It was fantastic.
Jill: Wow! After that I decided to walk to the Lincoln Memorial, but then it started to rain and I got completely wet.
Eric: How awful!
Jill: No, it was OK. I went back to my hotel, changed my clothes, and went out again later, this time with an umbrella!
Eric: Good thinking.
Jill: That night, I went to a classical concert. How about you? What did you do last weekend?
Eric: Not much really. I worked all day on Saturday. On Sunday, Tom and I played tennis.
Jill: Oh, you exercised!
Eric: Yep. After that we went to a movie. We saw the new James Bond film.
Jill: You did? How was it?
Eric: It was great! Then we went shopping.
Jill: Did you buy anything?
Eric: Yeah, I got this video camera. It was $500, but I got it on sale for only $175. You won’t believe what I got on this video camera.
Jill: What?
Eric: I was at the park, and I saw an elephant!
Jill: No way! Why was the elephant in the park?
Eric: It had escaped from the zoo! It wasn’t dangerous. I even gave it my sandwich. It was incredible, and I have it all on video. I’m going to put it on YouTube.
Jill: Oh! I want to see!
Eric: Hold on…
Tom: Hello? Hellooooo?
Tom: Hello! Hi Eric! This is a really nice camera. I just wanted to tell you that. I hope I didn’t erase anything important.
