M: Hi, Janet. Yon are so lucky to be done with your final exams and team papers. I still have two more finals to take.
W: Really?
M: Yeah.
W: So what are you doing this summer, anything special?
M: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while. Oh so where are you going this summer?
W: Well, this summer it’s finally going to be Gettysburg.
M: Finally? You mean they never took you yet? I mean Gettysburg. It’s probably the most famous Civil War site in the country. It’s only a couple of hours away. I thought that would be one of the first places that they’ d have taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We ware going to go about ten, well, no, it was exactly ten years ago, but I don’t know, something happened, I cannot remember what.
M: Something changed your plans?
W: Yeah, don’t ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn’t happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class I was taking, well, about the political situation in the United States fight after the battle at Gettysburg. So I’ m eager to see the place.
