vacation and how it changed my life. people. It was really fun!
A: Wow, sounds fascinating! What happened?
B: Well, about thirty years ago, my parents went
to Europe. My brother and I always stayed
with our grandparents during the summers,
so we didn’t go with them.
A: What did they do in Europe?
B: Oh, the usual things—they went on a boat
ride in Italy and saw a play in London and ate
wonderful food in France. They took a lot of
trains.
A: So … why did this vacation change your life?
B: On that trip, my parents met a couple named
Don and Cindy. They really liked travelling
together. So, Cindy gave my mom her
address, and when my parents got home, my
mom wrote Cindy a letter.
A: Ah, and they became friends, right?
B: Yes, they did. And then they took a lot of
vacations together—one every two years.
But I never met Don and Cindy. My parents
only saw them on vacation. I knew that they
had kids about the same age as me and my
brother.
A: I see. And when did you finally meet them?
B: When I was 18 years old. They came to visit
my parents and they brought their kids. One
of those kids was an 18-year-old name Mark.
Mark and I became good friends. And then,
we fell in love, and a few years later, we got
married. So now Don and Cindy are my
husband’s parents—my in-laws! And that’s my
story of how my parents’ vacation changed
my life.
