The Spanish Civil War

Sarah: Hi Kate. You look so pale. Didn’t you sleep

last night?
Kate: No, I spent the whole night working on my
essay, but I’m OK. I’ve stayed up all night lots of
times before.
Sarah: Have you finished your essay?
Kate: No, not yet. I’m still working on it. It’s about the
Spanish Civil War. I’ve read two articles on it, but I’m
still not ready to start writing yet.
Sarah: It’s an interesting topic. What have you found
so far? Have you found anything interesting?
Kate: Well, it was between the Republicans and the
Nationalists, and ended just before World War II.
Actually, it looks like a rehearsal for World War II. I
want to read more about it.
Sarah: I remember my World War II essay. I did quite
exhaustive research on the topic and wrote a long
essay about it. There was so much to read. I even
went to the National Library in the city centre.
Kate: You handed in your essay last term, right?
Sarah: Yes, I did. But if you need to do some more
research, I’m happy to go with you to the National
Library some time.
Kate: Really? That’d be great!
Sarah: No problem. I think I need some coffee. Shall we go and get some for us now?
Kate: Good idea.
