Elizabeth: how are you doing, Christopher?
Christopher: to be honest, I'm reallt fed up with work at the monent. I need a break!
E: are you doing anything this weekend?
C: I have to work on Saturday all day! I really hate my job!
E: are you available on Sunday?
C: yes, that's my only day off until Thursday.
E: ok, well, my friends and I are planning on going to the beach on Sunday. We tend to leave around noon whenever we go anywhere, so you could still sleep in. Do you want to come with us?
C: that'd be fantastic! Which beach are you going to?
E: it's a quiet beach just about an hour outside of the city.
C: what should I bring with me?
E: we've got plenty of inflatables, but if you want to sit on a chair, you'll have to bring your own sunlounger.
C: I can just use my beach towel. I love lazing around in the sun.
E: do you like surfing?
C: I've actually never tired. Do you have a surfboard?
E: we've got a few. I can teach you how to surf on Sunday. It'll be fun!
C: I can't wait! It sounds like we're going to have a great time. How much money should I bring?
E: you'll just need roughly $10 for food and gas money. My friend is driving, so we usually all chip in a few dollars for gas money.
C: ok, where and when should I meet you?
E: we'll pick you up at your place at noon. Be there or be square!
