A2 Reading Comprehension

Last Saturday, I went to a café in Kobe with my friend, Riko. We talked about our plans for the summer. Here is our conversation:

Me: Riko, do you have any plans for the summer holidays?

Riko: Yes! I’m going to Hokkaido with my family. We’ll stay in Sapporo for a week. What about you?

Me: That sounds fun! I’m planning to visit my grandparents in Kumamoto. They have a big garden, and I’ll help them with it.

Riko: Nice! Do you like gardening?

Me: Yes, it’s relaxing. I also want to try surfing in Kumamoto. There’s a beach nearby.

Riko: Surfing? That’s cool! In Hokkaido, I want to try skiing if there’s still snow. We’ll also eat fresh seafood.

Me: Yum! Let’s meet again after the holidays and share photos.

Riko: Definitely! Let’s do it.

After talking, we ordered cake and coffee. It was a great day.
