Luke Lucky you! It’s raining here – typical Seattle weather in February.
Fernanda Oh, doesn’t it snow there in winter?
Luke Sometimes but not every year.

Buenos Aires right now.
Luke Ah but you can go to the beach.
Fernanda Now, Luke, you know I can’t drive and the beach is pretty far from my apartment. Anyway,
I work six days a week.
Luke Do you still work at the hospital?
Fernanda No, I’m working in a hotel now. It’s a great job and I can speak different languages.
Luke That’s wonderful. I’m still going to school but my classes finish in three months.
Fernanda Then you can come and visit me.
Luke I’d love to. When’s a good time of year to be in Argentina?
Fernanda Well, not now! But October is a good time to come, and June and July are nice too. Why not
come when your classes finish in May and look for a job here? Then you can earn some
money too.
Luke That’s a nice idea but I can’t speak Spanish.
Fernanda Oh, right, yes, that’s a problem.

Juliette What is it?
Victor A trip to Canada!
Juliette That’s a fantastic present.
th
Victor I know. Our flight is on November 29 and I hope we can see the northern lights when we
are there. If not, she loves snow and she doesn’t mind really cold weather.
Juliette It’s cold and dark here now too! Oh, that’s a great idea. Is it expensive?
Victor Yes, very. But she’s 40 this year so it’s a special birthday. We usually go on vacation
together in the summer so this is just a winter vacation.
Juliette I don’t have the money for a vacation, but John always says he wants to learn a musical
instrument so I think maybe a guitar.
Victor Can you get him some guitar lessons too?
Juliette That’s it! Thanks, Victor.
