Hello Ashley. Did you have a good day last Saturday?

Hi Mark. Yes, it was great, thanks.
What did you do?
Well, first I met Ryan at the cinema.
What film did you see?
We saw The Roommate.
Was it good?
It was too boring.
And then?
After the film, we went to museum of contemporary art
because I wanted to know more about Roman Empire so
we visited The Wolfson Gallery where the objects
illustrate the rise of Rome from a small town to an
imperial capital that controlled the Mediterranean basin
and north-western Europe. Then we went to a Mexican
restaurant for dinner and we had too much to eat!
Mark: Were you okay?
Ashley: I was fine at the time, but I feel kind of sick today!
Mark: You should seek medical attention.
