Julia: Hi! Nicetoseeyouagain. Youlookgreat! Wheredidyougetsuchagreattan? Didyougototheseaside? Where? TheCrimea? TheRedSea? OrtheMediterraneanSea? Oh? certainly not! That dark soft tan only can be from the coast of the Dread Sea! DidIguessit? Didyougotherethissummer? Withparents? Friends? Wasthehotelexpensive? Didyoulikethefood? And why…

Jason: Will you ever give me a chance to answer at least one of your questions? FirstcanIatleastsay ‘Hello! It’snicetoseeyouagain!’

Julia: Oh, comeon! Idon’tcareaboutyourgoodmanners. Tell me about your holidays. I’m dying of curiosity.

Jason: Yeah, curiosity killed the cat… OK. But I’m really afraid to disappoint you. I didn’t go to any of those places.

Julia: Didn’tyou? Butyoulooksodifferent. You’ve become taller… and look so sporty… Where have you been the whole summer? I called you several times but you were never in.

Jason: That’sright. Itwasn’teasytocatchmeathome. I left very early. I bet you were sleeping like a log at that time.

Julia: Gettingupearly? Onholiday? Oh, God, whatfor?

Jason: It was worth it.

Julia: Oh, stop it! Tell me everything: why you were getting up so early, where you went to and why you are showing off like a Texas ranger now.

Jason: Like a ranger? You’ve nearly answered your own question. I spent the whole summer with horses. My uncle works with horses on a farm, so he allowed me to help him.

Julia: Do you mean that…

Jason: Yes, I took care of them – fed and groomed them and cleaned the stables. It was hard work and I came home more dead than alive, but you can’t fancy what beautiful animals they are. One day they let me take them to the river. We had a swim together.

Julia: Well, I never! Do you mean you enjoyed it? Enjoyed working instead of relaxing, watching videos and going to discos?

Jason: Yes, I mean it. And though my classes have started, I’m not going to give it up. I’ll be going there at the weekend and one day a week after classes. The horses trust me and my uncle says that I can still help him and ride them.

Julia: Working at the weekend? Don’t be silly! (long pause) Look here, if your uncle needs more help, can I come, too?
