People of Different Ages 


Gloria: I’m surprised at the variety of people on this tour. 


Andy: Oh, yeah? I hadn’t noticed. 


Gloria: Well, we’ll be spending the next two weeks with these people so I thought I’d get to know some of them. 


Andy: That’s nice. 


Gloria: Did you see that thirty-something couple with a toddler and an infant? I’m really surprised they’re on this tour. 


Andy: I’m sure they know what they’re doing. 


Gloria: And how about that group of seniors? Some of them look like they’re in the mid- to late- seventies. 


Andy: They seem pretty spry to me. 


Gloria: But what really surprises me is that group of middle-aged 1 couples with their tween and teenage children. They’ll be a handful. 


Andy: They seemed pretty well behaved to me. 


Gloria: And did you notice that woman in her early-forties and the forty-ish man each traveling alone? She seemed nice, but he didn’t seem too friendly. 


Andy: Maybe he’s using his time to size up everybody like you are. 


Gloria: Well, I wish there were more young adults in this group. I like talking to young people. 


Andy: I think there will be plenty of people for you to talk to these two weeks when you’re not sightseeing. 


Gloria: Sightseeing? Oh yeah, sightseeing.
