PART B_2

Are you coming to Annie’s birthday party tomorrow?
I’m afraid I can’t. I am going to visit my grandparents. Are you coming to the party?

Yes, I am. I hope I can visit my grandparents, too. Anyway, how often do you hang out with them? It must be fun.
I visit them once or twice a week. When I have free time, I stay at their house over the weekend. I bring them food and we eat together while watching TV.

Wow, that’s nice. I also want to visit my grandparents, but they migrated to the United States. My aunt and uncle are taking care of them.
Don’t worry, Ron. I know you can visit them soon. For now, you can show them that you care by calling them often. I think it will really mean a lot to them.

That’s right, Emma. That’s the least that I can do for now. They are “getting on in years”. I hope I could visit them next year.
I’m sure you can do that. Anyway, I need to go now. I need to buy some stuff for my grandparents. See you next week.
