By Olaya and Julia

- Hello, Olaya!
- Hello, Julia. Nice to see you!
- How are you?
- I'm fine, thanks. And you?
- Very well, too. Last weekend I saw Mónica and she told me that you travelled to Kenya, is it true?
- Yes it's true, it was great. Have you ever been to Kenia?
- Oh no, I haven't. Do you have enough money to travel to places like that?
- Oh no! I don't. I won the trip in a TV contest.
- Tell me about your trip, then! When did you travel? Who did you travel with? How did you get there? Did you see many animals?
- Hehehe... Quiet, Julia! OK, let's see. I went to Kenya three weeks ago, my brother came with me, and we got there by plane. There we were travelling by helicopter. It was really wonderful… we could see a lot of animals.
- And… could you fly a helicopter?
- Ooh yes I could! I had a six-day training course to learn how to fly it!!
- Was it easy or difficult?
- It was easy. At first I was frightened but then it was really fantastic!
- Yeah, it sounds fantastic! You are very lucky!
- Would you like to see the photos?
- Oh yes, I'd love to.
- What day would you like to see them?
- Next Friday?
- Next Friday?… That's OK!
- Well! See you then, Olaya!
- Bye Julia!
=D

Note: In this dialogue there are two kinds of present continuous: one is about the present and the other is about future arrangements (the Impepinable future!).

(A) Hi, my love! You're very busy. What are you doing?
(B) Uf! Hi! Harry and Louise have called us. They're arriving in Madrid, tomorrow. They'll stay here for one day.
(A) Who are they? I don't remember!
(B) Oh! They are my cousins. They have lived in Germany for a long time! You met them when they got married in 1975. Do you remember now?
(A) Not too much, but… why are your cousins flying to Spain?
(B) Because they are retired and they want to buy a house near the sea in Valencia. They are very lucky!
(A) But… what is there in these bags? Can I help you?
(B) Yes, please. There are a lot of fruits and vegetables. They're vegetarian. Can you put them in the fridge?
(A) Yes, I can. Do you know there is just an egg?
(B) Oh, no! I'm going to buy some, quickly! The supermarket closes at nine o'clock. I've got five minutes to get there.
(A) Relax. Don't worry, love. I think we'll go to vegetarian restaurant for lunch and then we can take them sightseeing, too.
(B) That's a better idea! Madrid has changed for them surely! But… we'll eat fruits and vegetables for a month. I'm joking!
