Text :

Kim : Your brother is graduating from high school this year, right? What’s he going to do?
Greg : He will take a trip. He wants to relax after he graduates.
Kim : Where will he go? Europe?
Greg : No, he won’t go to Europe. He doesn’t have a lot of money.
Kim : Will he travel alone?
Greg : No, he won’t. He’ll travel with his friends.
Kim : And after that? Will he go to college?
Greg : No, he won’t go to college until next year. He needs to earn some money before he goes to college.
Kim : So, what will he do this year?
Greg : He’ll work for our father in his office. He needs help.
Kim : Maybe someday he’ll get a great job!
Greg : He will. He is smart. But he will have to finish college first before he works.
Kim : If he lives at home for another year, he will help you with your Spanish homework.
Greg : He won’t. He says I have to learn Spanish by myself.
Kim : Then we can work together. I have to study Spanish this year, too!
