J: to be honest, I was just dumped.
M: oh, I’m sorry to hear that. You can go on a holiday to cheer up.
J: no, thanks. I’m not in the mood for traveling.
M: come on. A trip will do you good. Are you doing anything this weekend?
J: I was planning on doing a lot of wallowing.
M: well, my friends and I are planning on going to Shangri-La on Saturday. Do you want to come with us?
J: where is that?
M: not very far from here. We’ll fly. It’s about one and a half hours.
J: what’s there to see?
M: there is a large canyon, vast grasslands, ancient forests and mountain lakes.
J: oh, sounds nice.
M: yes, the scenery there is breathtaking. I have some pitcures at home. You can come over and take a look if you like.
J: ok. Then I can make up my mind.
