Perlmutter: I am going to Spain with some of my friends from Long Island.

Metzger: I am driving to Alaska with some of my friends.

Expression: Are you paying for your senior trip or is it a present from your parents?

Newlon: My parents went with me, so they paid for all the expenses. It was an early graduation present.

Perlmutter: My grandmother gave me some money but that only covered the flight tickets, so the rest I am paying for myself.

Metzger: I’ll be paying for it myself.

Expression: Why did you choose the place you are traveling too?

Newlon: I’m fluent in Spanish and I love history. And Spain is one of the epicenters of history in the world so it was the perfect combination.

Expression: Are you a big fan of the food the place you are traveling to?

Newlon: I actually am not a big fan of tapas and other authentic food, it’s too many carbs for me.

Perlmutter: Yes I love Spanish food, it’s definitely one of the reasons why I choose  

Metzger: No, that had no influence on our choice at all.
