J: to be honest, I was just dumped.

M: oh, I’m sorry to hear that. You can go on a holiday to cheer up.

J: no, thanks. I’m not in the mood for traveling.

M: come on. A trip will do you good. Are you doing anything this weekend?

J: I was planning on doing a lot of wallowing.

M: well, my friends and I are planning on going to Shangri-La on Saturday. Do you want to come with us?

J: where is that?

M: not very far from here. We’ll fly. It’s about one and a half hours.

J: what’s there to see?

M: there is a large canyon, vast grasslands, ancient forests and mountain lakes.

J: oh, sounds nice.

M: yes, the scenery there is breathtaking. I have some pitcures at home. You can come over and take a look if you like.

J: ok. Then I can make up my mind.
