1. Todd: Hi—you must be John’s cousin Matt, right? From San Diego?

2. Matt: Correct! I just got in last night.

3. Todd: I’m Todd, John’s roommate from Tech. Glad to meet you. I can assure you that I’m not anything like what John has told you.

4. Matt: I’m happy to meet you, too—and, yes—I have heard about you! Football player and party animal extraordinaire.

5. Todd: Football, yes—and as a matter of fact, I do like parties. But tell me more about yourself and what you do in San Diego.

6. Matt: Well, I’m more (of) a surfer than a football player. You know, San Diego has a fantastic coast—and we can surf all day and then party on the beach at night.

7. Todd: That sounds awesome. How long are you staying?

8. Matt: Well, I’ll be here for two weeks. John has promised me a nonstop schedule— kind of a m ix of sightseeing, meeting his friends, checking out the local scene, and—hopefully—camping in the mountains for a couple o f days.

9. Todd: John’s a good guy—and you can be sure he knows the local scene. He knows everybody in town. I’m sure he’ll show you a good time. And his friends are here to help.

10. Matt: Thanks so much—I really appreciate that. I’m still a bit jet-lagged at the moment but should be in good shape by tomorrow. I’m looking forward to hearing what John has in store for me....

11. Todd: Don’t worry. We’ll all take good care of you. And don’t be surprised if we show up on your doorstep in San Diego one day, ready for surfing
