Noor: Would you like to go for a walk to the shops?

Katie: But that's such a long way to walk.

Noor: Don't be so lazy You'll like it when we get there. It's so lovely and shady under the trees.

Katie: Oh, Noor, why don't we go tomorrow?

Noor: No, tomorrows Friday and it'll be really crowded.

Katie: How do you know?

Noor: I went there last Friday with Latifa and it was so crowded that we couldn't get a seat in the shade.

Katie: You are exaggerating a bit, aren't you?

Noor: No, really. There were such long queues at the drinks stalls that we nearly died of thirst.

Katie: OK. Let's go. But let's go for a drink and an ice-cream first to give us energy.

Noor: Honestly., Katie, it's just a walk to the park, not a trip across the Sahara!

Katie: I know. But I really feel like an ice-cream.

Noor: OK. We can have one at the Oasis Cafe.

Katie: That's a really good idea. Let's go in ten minutes.
