Dialogue
between grandfather and grandson
Hello grandpa
Hello Bart
How are you?
I’m fine, thank you and you?
Me too, I’m a little bit tired because I was out last night.
When I was as old as you are now, I didn’t go out every night, I had to work every
day to earn money.
But times have changed.
Yes they really have.
But it’s good for us, because otherwise we would not have
such a beautiful youth.
Another question, how
are your parents?
Fine, they are in Prague for the
weekend.
They will return on Monday,
won’t they?
Yes, they go back to work on Tuesday
morning. They are always travelling.
When your mother was young we only
had one week of holiday in August.
What are you going to do at the weekend?
I don’t know yet, but I will
meet my friends.
If you want, you can stay
overnight.
Sounds great, could you pick
me up?
I will pick you up at 19h30.
See you later.
