Now we are ready to start.
Mark: Hi Jane! It's so good to see you! You look so happy. I wonder why.
Jane: Oh, hi Mark! I haven't seen you for ages!
Mark: Well, I'm going shopping—to the new mall in Green Street.
Jane: Oh, I haven't been there yet. Have you?
Mark: No, I haven't. I'm going shopping for clothes. They say there are big sales on summer clothes right now there.
Jane: Who needs new summer clothes in August, Jane?
Mark: Well, I do, because I'm going to Spain with my sister Diana in a week. It's a five-star hotel, all-inclusive, the whole nine yards.
Jane: That must cost a fortune.
Mark: Well, that's the biggest part of my news. Diana has won the lottery. She has a funny habit of buying lottery cards, and we used to make jokes about it. Well, we do not anymore. This trip to Spain is her present for me. So I thought I could afford some new summer clothes, especially considering the sale.
Jane: That's great news! My congratulations to Diana. To tell the truth, I thought those happy faces of lottery winners on TV are just fake news because they want more people to participate in lotteries. Now I think I'll have to believe all those incredible stories.
Mark: Diana is over the moon. She's going to buy a new car, and she can also pay off the biggest part of her mortgage.
Jane: Is she going to travel the world?
Mark: Well, not really. You know, she is a journalist, and she has business trips to other countries quite often. She can see the world anyway.
Jane: She's so lucky.
Mark: Well, she is.
Jane: What are you going to do when in Spain? Are you going to just be lazy on the beach?
Mark: No, not at all. I've never been to Spain, so I really want to see all the sights of this amazing country. I want to go to all the major museums too. I think we'll divide our time between enjoying the sun and the sea and discovering the treasures of Spanish architecture.
Jane: Please post the photos on your Facebook page. I'd really love to see them.
Mark: Okay, I promise I will.
Jane: I say, Mark, would you like to go to the mall with me? I'm sure you'll find something to do there while I'm buying clothes.
Mark: That's not half a bad idea, Jane. We may have lunch there as well. There must be at least one good café there.
Jane: That's great! I'll be starving after shopping.
Mark: So, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
