Hello Ruth.
Im so glad youre coming to Quertaro to visit me. There is so much to see in the city. You know my
neighborhood is small and very quiet. There is a restaurant near and that is it. But we can go
downtown. There are a lot of things to do there. There is a tour where they tell you all the legends of
the region, it is at night, sounds wonderful, right?
If you like adventure parks, there is a new park called Parque Bicentenario, we can go there and
swim because there are many pools.
Tell me what you would like to do to make a plan.
See you soon
Yadira.

TAPESCRIPT
Amanda: Hey, I know you. You're James, right? James Roberts.
James: Amanda Brown. Wow! It's been a long time.
Amanda: Yeah. Oh, are you going to the class reunion in two weeks?
James: Uh, I heard about it, but I'm not sure. Where is it?
Amanda: The reunion is going to be held at the Mountain Country Club across from City Park.
James: And what time does it start?
Amanda: I think it starts at 6:00.
James: And how much does it cost?
Amanda: It's twenty dollars a ticket, and that includes dinner and entertainment.
James: What kind of entertainment are they going to have?
Amanda: They're going to have a live jazz band and dancing.
James: And who is organizing the event?
Amanda: Do you remember Chad Phillips?
James: Uh, wasn't he the quarterback on the football team?
Amanda: Right. Well, he married Sarah Rogers, and they are in charge of the event. So, what do
you think? Are you going?
James: I don't know. I never really fit in in high school. I was kind of a loner. I also remember asking
Sarah out on a date, and she turned me down. She said she was sick, and it turned out she went out
with someone that same night. It could be a little awkward.
Amanda: Hey, why don't we go together?
James: Are you sure?
Amanda: Yeah.
James: Well, sure. Why not. To be honest, I always thought you were very nice. I just never had the
guts to ask you out.
Amanda: Well, here's your chance.
