Read the below conversation.

M: Hey, Karen, it looks like you've got some sun this weekend.

W: Yeah, I guess so. I spent the weekend at the beach.

M: Oh, yeah, that's great. Where did you stay?

W: Some friends of my parents' live out there and they invited me for as long as I wanted to stay.

M: So what are you doing back here already?

W: Oh, 1 have a paper to work on, and I just couldn't do any serious studying at the beach.

M: I don't blame you. So what did you do out there? I mean besides lying out in the sun.

W: I ran slowly up and down the beach, and 1 played some volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn't even get through a whole game before I had to sit down.

M: Did you go swimming?

W: I wanted to, but they said the water isn't warm enough for that until a couple of months from now.

What would the listener say?


M: It all sounds nice. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.
