Where is My Sister?
My sister visits my house every weekend, but this weekend she is not here.
I am sad because I miss my sister a lot.
My sister's name is Sally, and she is my best friend.
I need to phone her because I don't understand why she is not here.
“Hi, Sally, where are you? Why are you not at my house?”
“Hi, Becky! I am so sorry, I cannot visit you today, I am very busy.”
“But Sally, you visit me every weekend. Why are you very busy?”
“I know, I want to visit, but I have to go to the supermarket. I have to visit the mechanic, I have to clean my house, and I have to go to the post office. I have so many things to do, I have no more time.”
“Okay, Sally, I understand. I am sorry that you are busy, I can help you with your jobs if you want?”
“Thank you for the offer, but it is much too boring for you.
You can help me when I have more fun things to do, like go shopping for clothes.”
“Ah, yes, okay. Take me with you when you shop for clothes, I love this idea!”
“This does not surprise me, Becky! I have to go now, I miss you, see you next weekend instead.”
“Perfect, see you later, Sally. Take care.”
