Maria: This is perfect. We get to go to New York City! I’m so excited!
Eric: Is the hotel you and Jill staying in OK?
Maria: I think so. It looked really nice in the pictures. Are you nervous about staying with Eric’s family?
Tom: Not at all! I’m excited to meet them. Especially his brother. Where is Jill, by the way?
Maria: I don’t know. She said she was on her way.
Eric: She always says that. Well, we still have some time left before our bus.
Maria: So, Eric. What’s your brother like?
Eric: He’s the first-born. He’s a people person, so he has lots of friends. And he has an awesome job. He makes apps for smart phones. He’s an innovator and a problem solver.
Maria: Wow. He sounds so cool.
Tom: Yeah… I can’t wait to meet him. He’s my role model.
Eric: Sometimes, I wish I were more like him. He’s more sociable than me, too.
Tom: Hey! So are you! And you’re really…
Maria: Considerate!
Eric: Thanks guys.
Maria: Sorry to interrupt, but I just got a text from Jill that she’s on her way down.
Eric: So, what was I talking about?
Tom: Your brother and how he’s sociable.
Eric: Right.
Tom: I think we can learn a lot of values from our family members…
Jill: Sorry guys.
Eric: Jill, we’re only going to be there for two days.
