Preparations for the picnic

Pat: Hullo Helen. This is Pat.

Helen: Hullo Pat.

Pat: all ready for tomorrow?

Helen: Oh yes! What a marvellous idea you had! I love going on picnics. Let’s hope it won’t rain.

Pat: I don’t think it will. The weather forecast says it will be fine for the next few days.

Helen: who have you invited?

Pat: We’ve asked Susan, John and Robert. We’ll take our motor-bikes. Will you cut some sandwiches?

Helen: Yes. I’ll make some cheese, ham and tomato sandwiches. Will that be all right?

Pat: Yes, that will be fine. I’ll bake a cake, and Susan said she’ll bring some fruit: oranges, pears, apples and bananas.

Helen: What are the boys bringing?

Pat: They are bringing the drinks.

Helen: Are you going to wear a dress?

Pat: No. I’m going to wear my blue jeans and a sweater.
