Leticia: Hello?

Paula: Hi, Leticia. It's Paula.

Leticia: Hi, Paula. How are you? Have you finished packing yet? Paula: Almost.

Leticia: You must be excited. When's your flight?

Paula: Tomorrow. At 9 a.m. Listen, Leticia, I need your help.

Leticia: OK. What's up?

Paula: Well, as you know, I'm going on vacation for two weeks. Do you think you could water my plants while I'm away?

Leticia: Sure. No problem.

Paula: Great. They need water twice a week. There's one plant in the bedroom and one in the kitchen.

Leticia: OK--say, how about your dog? Should I feed her, too? Paula: No, that's OK. I’m putting her in a kennel.

Leticia: All right, then, I'll water your plants---and---oh, how about the mail? Should I pick it up for you?

Paula: Actually, I've already asked the mailman to stop mail delivery. Thanks for asking, though.

Leticia: Well, have a great trip!

Paula: Thanks, Leticia. I really appreciate your help.

Leticia: OK! See you tonight. Bye!

Paula: Bye! Thanks again!

W: Wow, Jun, you look relaxed! Did you enjoy the long weekend?

J: I sure did actually. Actually I took a big trip.

W: Over the weekend? We only had three days off!

J: Yep! But I visited four countries in three days!

W: What?!

J: I love to fly! You might say I’m an airplane freak!

W: That’s interesting. Where did you go?

J: I visited Korea, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.

W: Sounds like you were busy.

J: I was. I only had only four hours in so. So I have to finish my shopping very quickly. Sometimes I had to run between connecting flights.

W: Wait a minute. What about your baggage? Didn’t you have to wait for it?

J: No, I didn’t have much, only one carry-on bag, it just fits the overhead compartment.

.. . . .. W: So let me get this straight. You spent your weekend in an airplane flying around?

J: Basically yes. I fly standby.

W: Standby?

J: Yes, as a standby passenger. I don’t have a reservation. At the last minute, they let me know if there’s a seat available. They give me a boarding pass and I get on.

W: All these flying must be expensive.

J: Well, I’m an airline employee. I’m a sales representative for Twin Star Airlines. So I know most of the flight attendants and I can almost fly for free.

W: Lucky you!

Matt: Have you done all the errands?

Tina: No, I haven’t finished them yet.

Matt: You don’t have to go to the post office, I’ve canceled the mail delivery.

Tina: Well, I’ve picked up the plane tickets. But I haven’t taken the dog to the kennel. What about you? Have you washed the dishes?

Matt: No, I haven’t cleaned the kitchen. But I’ve already watered the plants, and I’ve given our keys to Mrs. Smith.

Tina: What about your suitcase? Have you packed it?

Audio Track 3-1-7

S: Are you almost ready?

J: Yes, I think so. But we always forget so many things. Did you get the traveler’s checks at the bank yesterday?

S: Yes I did. And I paid the bills too.

J: Well, I changed our voice mail message and I confirmed all of our flights.

S: Great! Let’s remember to give the house keys to Mr. Jacobsen so he can come in and water our plants.

J: This afternoon I have to stop the mail delivery at the post office. S: And could you please take the dog to kennel?

J: No, I hate that. He always looks so scared.

S: And this time let’s remember to empty the trash before we leave. J: And we’ll give away all the fresh food. Last year there were black tomatoes and green meat in our refrigerator after our vacation.

S: I made a note to myself unplug the computer.

J: And I promised to turn off all the lights. The electric bill was terrible last time.

S: Maybe we should write a list, they may be used again on our next vacation.
