Lesson 9: Valentine's Day Mary and Julia see each other at the store.
Mary: Hi Julia! Julia: Hi Mary! I haven't seen you in so long! Mary: I know! I’ve really missed you. How is everything going? Julia: I'm doing great. How about you? Mary: I'm great! Guess what! I am going on a short trip next week. Julia: Oh, really? Where are you heading to? Mary: My husband and I are going to spend Valentines Day in San Francisco, California! Julia: How wonderful!! Mary: Yes, I know. The trip is Tom's gift to me for Valentine's Day. It will be my first time in the city. Julia: I have always loved San Francisco! Mary: Since you've been there before, would you tell me what I should go see? Julia: Well, there is the Museum of Modern Art. You should check the Internet to see what exhibits they have right now. Mary: Okay, I'll do that. What else? Julia: You have to have lunch in Chinatown at least once. Just about any restaurant there is good. Oh, and there's Fisherman's Wharf for fish & chips! Mary: I'm so excited! Can you recommend any places to shop? Julia: Union Square is famous for shopping. All the big stores are there. If you want something a little less ordinary, you can also visit Haight Street which has the most wonderful urban boutiques. Mary: Tom has really gone out of his way to surprise me with this trip. We're leaving on Thursday and coming home Sunday night. Julia: I think that's wonderful! You are very lucky to have such a thoughtful husband. I love how Valentine's Day is that one day in a year that our husbands treat us like queens. Mary: It's unfortunate that it's not a month-long holiday! Julia: I know what you mean. Mary: Anyway, it was great running into you here but I have to get home and cook dinner. Julia: Call me when you get back from San Francisco. You have to tell me all about your trip! Mary: I will! Julia: See you later then! Mary: Bye!

Apa khabar? Julia: Saya sangat baik. Bagaimana dengan awak? Mary: Saya pun baik! Maklumlah minggu depan saya akan pergi melancong. Julia: Oh, betulkah? Di mana awak pergi? Mary: Saya dan suami saya akan menghabiskan Hari Valentine di San Francisco, California! Julia: Alangkah bagusnya!! Mary: Ya, saya tahu. Lawatan ini merupakan hadiah Tom kepada saya sempena Hari Valentine. Ini merupakan kali pertama saya melawat bandar tersebut. Julia: Saya memang suka San Francisco! Mary: Memandangkan awak pernah ke sana, bolehkah awak memberitahu saya apakah yang harus saya tengok? Julia: Tentu sekali, di sana mempunyai Muzium Seni Moden. Awak harus melayari Internet untuk mengetahui apakah yang mereka pamerkan sekarang. Mary: Baiklah, saya akan buat itu. Apa lagi? Julia: Awak harus makan tengahari di Chinatown sekurang-kurangnya sekali. Mana-mana restoran di sama pun bagus. Oh, dan jangan lupa Fisherman's Wharf untuk ‘fish & chips’nya! Mary: Saya tak sabar-sabar lagi ke sana! Bolehkah awak mencadangkan tempat untuk membeli-belah? Julia: Union Square terkenal sebagai tempat membeli-belah. Semua kedai-kedai besar di sana. Jikalau awak ingin mendapatkan sesuatu yang sedikit kurang biasa, awak boleh ke Haight Street, di mana terdapat butik-butik kota yang paling mengagumkan. Mary: Tom benar-benar telah membuat sesuatu yang diluar kebiasaannya untuk memberi kejutan kepada saya berkenaan dengan lawatan ini. Kami akan bertolak pada hari Khamis dan balik pada Ahad malam. Julia: Alangkah bagusnya! Awak memang bernasib baik mempunyai suami yang begitu bertimbang rasa. Saya suka Hari Valentine disebabkan ia satu hari di mana suami kita melayani kita bagaikan ratu permaisuri. Mary: Malangnya, ia bukan cuti satu bulan! Julia: Saya tahu apa ynag awak maksudkan itu. Mary: Biar apapun, saya amat gembira bertembung dengan awak di sini tetapi saya perlu balik ke rumah dan memasak untuk makan malam. Julia: Telefon saya apabila awak pulang dari San Francisco. Awak mesti menceritakan lawatan awak kepada saya nanti! Mary: Tentu sekali. Julia: Jumpa awak nanti! Mary: Jumpa lagi!
