Just the other day, I was talking to this guy (1) whose daughter had recently moved to Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
He had never imagined that his daughter would move so far away from Peru, so he was obviously quite sad.
This gentleman, (2) _______________________________________ was so happy because his daughter finally
sent him an update on how she was doing there. One of the first things she mentioned was how she loved living
in a country (3) _______________________
_____________ and how she was never bored. She also had told him how she had already met a really good-
looking young man (4) _________________________________________________
___________________. This meant that she was probably partying like a rock star, but I kept that thought to
myself so he wouldn’t get worried. Upon telling me this, he seemed a little concerned about his daughter (5)
_____________________________________. Nevertheless, he wanted to support her in her new life and treat
her like a responsible woman, not like an irresponsible little girl. Our conversation continued for a good two
hours about his daughter (6) ___________________________________________. Mr. Guevara started become
rather nostalgic and felt that it was necessary to tell me about his past; me being the nice person that I am, lent
him my ears. He started going on about how he remembered January 27th, 1972, (7)
_________________________________________________________. Mr. Guevara went into a little too much
detail for my liking, but I could see how much he enjoyed reminiscing, so I offered to buy him a beer to make
myself a bit more comfortable. He told me all about the hospital (8)
_______________________________________ and the doctor (9) ______________
_________________________________________________. He went on and on about many pointless details,
(10) ________________________________________, and I think at one moment, I actually started
daydreaming about flying pigs (11) ___________________________
__________________________________________. To make a long story short, I learned a lot about this Don
Guevara’s life and his daughter. I got his email address and he has invited me to his house this weekend to meet
his daughter, (12) _____________________________________
_____________________. Overall, he was a very nice guy, but just liked to talk a lot.
