Conversation A
Jack: Hi, Laura, did you heart that Sam is going to Africa?
Laura: Really? Is he going on vacation with his family?
Jacl: No, he's going with his church young group. They're going to help build houses for poor families in rural villages.
Laura: But he's only 13 years old!
Jack: That doesn't matter. It's acceptable for young teens to travel far from home without their parents.

Jack: That's sounds like fun!

Laura: Did she get a lot of clients?
Jack: She did. She walks eight dogs at noon every day.

Jack: Yes! You should see her! And she's making some money -- she charges $25 an hour.
