3. I'll go with you

Icono IDevice Reading activity

 

When Paco got on the touristic bus, he sat next to a tall blond young man who was sitting on his own. He was about 25 years old and seemed to be very cheerful and friendly.

Paco was holding a brochure which suddenly fell on the floor. The young man offered his help quickly.

YOUNG MAN: I'll take it. Here you are.

PACO: Thank you.

YOUNG MAN: Is it your first time in Dublin?

PACO: Yes. Actually, this is my first day. I'm going to stay here for a few days. And you?

YOUNG MAN: Me too. I'm visiting Europe and I'm going to visit Dublin this week. Maybe we could go to some places together. What do you think?

PACO: Why not?

YOUNG MAN: I would also like to have a drink in Temple Bar. I think it will be really nice. By the way, what are you doing tonight? I'm going to have dinner in a pub in town. Would you like to come?

PACO: Hmm... OK. I'll go with you. Here's my phone number.

YOUNG MAN: Great! I promise I will call you as soon as I arrive at my hotel.

PACO: Do you think it will rain tonight?

YOUNG MAN: Look at the sky. It's not going to rain.
