Part I

W1: And now, over to Barry with our weather
forecast for this weekend. How’s it looking for
this weekend, Barry? Speaking for myself, I
know I’m looking forward to clear skies. The
past two weeks have been even rainier than
usual for Seattle.
M1: Well, Sue, residents of Seattle will be happy to
hear that this rainy spell we’ve been having is
finally coming to an end. Although we’ve seen
occasional showers today, by tonight things
should dry out, and Friday morning should
be clear and sunny. This fine weather should
continue until the end of the weekend, with
temperatures ranging from 55 to 75 degrees, so
everyone can put away those umbrellas. Back
to you, Sue.
W1: Thank you, Barry. On behalf of the Thursday
Six o’clock News team, we wish you a pleasant
evening.

Part II

M2: Did you hear the weather report, Jenny? It
looks like it’ll be a clear weekend after all, so
we won’t have to cancel our trip to the lake.
W2: That’s almost unbelievable! I’m really looking
forward to getting out of the city and camping
under the stars. But we’d better get our stuff
ready tonight, Paul, if we’re planning to leave
tomorrow right after work.
M2: Yes, we’ll need our tent, sleeping bags, camping
stove, and a cooler for the drinks. What about
food?
W2: Let’s stop at a store and pick up some groceries
on the way out.
M2: Sounds good. Well, we’d better get packing if we
want to be ready to go by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.
