Are you leaving for the railway station now Jack? It's so early.<br />Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don't want to be late.<br />So you have to wait for about two hours? I don't think there's scenery to look at.<br />Don't worry. I'll take a book with me.<br />It's too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.<br />But I've already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don't need to buy anything.<br />If I really can't focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven't talked to in a while.<br />That's a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list<br />so that she'd not miss anything in the days to come.<br />That's an awesome idea. I'll surely do that. Thank you Judy. See you next year.<br />Bye.<br />Are you leaving for the railway station now Jack? It's so early.<br />Just avoiding the rush hour traffic.
