Emma! I have good news.

Whoa, you startled me! What is it?

My parents are expecting a baby. It’s a baby boy. I’m going to be a big brother soon! I’m over the moon right now!

Oh, yes, I can see that. How far along is your mom?

She is currently five months pregnant, so we still have plenty of time to think of a name. What do you think is a good name?

Hmm. How about a name that starts with letter R, just like your name?

Actually, we’ve been thinking of naming him after my grandfather. His name was Richardson. Perhaps, the name Richard will be a good one?

Yes, that’s a really nice name.

I believe being a big brother comes with a big responsibility. I’m not sure if I’m completely ready yet. But I’m going to take it one step at a time.

I’m so looking forward to the long weekend.

Same here. Actually, I already have everything planned out.

That’s amazing. So, what’s on the cards for this weekend?

On Friday, I’m going to a spa with some friends to unwind. The next day,
I’m going to visit my grandparents. I’m going to help out in the farm.
And then, I’ll have a movie marathon with my sister on Sunday.

That sounds a lot of fun! It’s a good thing we get to take some time out.

We have to make money, of course. But we also have to take a break to
refresh our minds. That way, we can sustain our productivity.

I’d go along with that. We shouldn’t feel guilty about putting our feet up once in a while. In fact, it’s even helpful to our career. I mean, we don’t want to be burned out, right?

That’s right. So, how about you? Do you have any plans yet?

Nothing special. But I have piles of books that I need to pick up again. I’m hoping I can get a fresh perspective by reading those books.

That’s a good idea as well.

Good morning, Emma. I’m glad you can make it today.

Me too. I’ve been so busy lately. But if it were up to me, I’d visit
galleries more often. Thanks for inviting me, Ron.

Sure thing. I know how much you appreciate art.

By the way, is there an admission fee?

It’s free of charge for today since it’s the first day of the exhibition.

Great! Let’s get in now then.

Look at this artwork. If you ask me, this piece is undervalued. It has a lot of potentials. I’m pretty sure its value will dramatically increase in a few years.

You seem to have an eye for valuable paintings. Honestly, I can’t really

Yes! I spend a lot of time listening to new bands, and I’ve no doubt at all that this band will make it to the mainstream. It’s just a matter of time.

Oh, cool. You have a good taste in music, so now I’m really curious
about this band. What is their genre, by the way?

They make alternative rock music which is my kind of thing. I recommend that you listen to their song called “Northern lights” first.

I see. Okay, I’ll take note of that title.

The band members seem simple too. I mean, they’re not trying to show off or anything like that. But once you listen to their music, that’s just pure talent right there.

Well, as what they say, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”.

You’re right. I’m glad I gave them a try.

Hi, Emma! Sorry, I wasn’t able to reply to your message last night.

Oh, it’s okay, Ron. Were you busy that time?

Well, I was watching a sci-fi movie about aliens with my friends last night. Now, I can’t help but wonder if aliens do exist.

That’s an interesting question. Well, the way I see it, it’s unlikely that aliens exist.

Hmm, you could be right, but there are ongoing space explorations being conducted by scientists. Who knows, they might find signs of life on other planets.

I agree with you on that. It’s an important milestone for science too, so we should be up to date with their findings.

It’s common knowledge that there are trillions of galaxies in the universe. There are still so many things to explore which could lead to countless possibilities.

I couldn’t agree more. The bottom line is that we should be open-minded
and prepared for any changes so that we can easily adapt.

I’m with you on that one.

Wow, I didn’t know you were that interested in extraterrestrial life!
