| Devin: Hey Angela. I heard you went to an amusement park during your vacation. Angela: That’s right. I went there with my whole family. Devin: How was it? Did you ride any roller coasters? Angela: Unfortunately, yes. I hate riding roller coasters, but my family made me ride them. I was scared to death the whole time that I was riding. Devin: Really? I love roller coasters. They are so thrilling. Angela: Well, I’m scared to death of heights, so roller coasters are not good for me. Devin: That makes sense. If you don’t like heights, then you should avoid roller coasters. Angela: If I never ride another roller coaster again, I will be happy. | |
