Look up to – Conversation Practice

Stephen: Who did you look up to when you were young?

Angela: When I was young, I really looked up to my older sister. I wanted to be just like her. She was very pretty, smart, and good at everything she tried.

Stephen: That’s interesting. I thought you were going to say some famous actress or singer. Anyway, what is your sister doing these days?

Angela: She has her own restaurant in New York City, and she is the chef. It is doing pretty well these days.

Stephen: That is amazing. What kind of restaurant is it?

Angela: It is an Italian bistro. They serve many kinds of dishes. It is really cute.

Stephen: Well, if I ever go to New York City, I’ll be sure to check it out.

Angela: You wouldn’t regret it.
