Ella: It’s so exciting that you’ll be spending a
month studying in McQuillanland this summer.
When
do you start packing?
Marty: I’ve already started. The organizers of
the program gave me a list of things I need to
bring.
Ella: That’s really helpful.
Marty: Yeah. They say that it’s
essential that I bring both warm-
weather and
cold-weather clothes. The weather in
McQuillanland is really unpredictable.
Ella: Oh, I didn’t know that.
Marty: Yeah, and they say that it’s
advisable that I bring medications for
every
malady I can think of because there
are a lot of health dangers.
Ella: Wow, I never knew that about
McQuillanland.
Marty: Me, neither. And while it’s
optional, it’s also
suggested that I leave all
of my valuables at home.
McQuillanland has a very high crime
rate and visitors
are often targeted.
Ella: Geez, that’s a lot to take in.
Marty: You’re telling me. And the
list says that it is absolutely required
that I
take a self-defense course before
going. You never know what to expect in
McQuillanland.
Ella: You’re not having second
thoughts about going, are you?
Marty: No, why?
