Lets Explore!
Marco visits Vanessa in Cambridge. He hasn't been there in ages*.
* Ages means a very long time.
Instructions: Read the text aloud.
Marco: It's great to see you, Vanessa.

Vanessa: It's great to see you, too! I've anxiously awaited your visit ... Have you been
to Massachusetts before?
Marco: I used to come visit here when I was a kid. We would come and visit my
Uncle Doug - he lived here for ages. I remember he used to collect
snowglobes. He would show us his collection whenever we visited.
Vanessa: Really? I had no idea you had family in the U.S.
Marco: I usually keep a little mystery in my relationships - to keep things
interesting. My mother would always tell me to not reveal too much at the
start of a relationship.
Vanessa: That's ... strange.
Marco: Strange? I thought you liked a little mystery in a man.
Vanessa: There's mystery, and then there's withholding information!
Marco: Wow - you are clearly overly sensitive about this, V.
Vanessa: Me? I gladly share personal details with people that I'm supposedly in love
with! Look here in my study - I have a collection of snowglobes, too! What
do you think of that?
Marco: It's my way or the highway, honey.
