Daming: Have you heard the news?

Betty: What news?

Daming: Lingling and I are doing an English course in LA this summer!

Betty: Oh, really? That’s great! How long will you stay in LA?

Daming: About four weeks. It’s a good chance to practise my English.

Betty: It sure is! But it’s also quite expensive to stay in America for four weeks.

Daming: We are going in a group of 20, and we’ll all stay with different families, so it won’t cost so much.

Betty: That’s good to hear. I hope you have a great time!
