M: Hi, Janet, you’re so lucky to be done with your final exams and term papers.I still have two more finals to take.
W: Really?
M: Yeah,so what are you doing this summer, anything special?
W: Well,actually yeah.My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States.(1)_________________________________________.I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history.And so even though we are older now,
they still do once in a while.
M: Oh, so where are you going this summer?
W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Gettysburg.
M: Finally? You mean they never took you yet?I mean Gettysburg, it's probably the most famous civil war site in the country,it's only a couple of hours away.(2)________________________________.I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were going to go about ten,well, no, it was exactly ten years ago,but I don't know, something happened,I cannot remember what.
M: Something changed your plans?
W: Yeah, don't ask me what it was,but we ended up not going anywhere that year.I hope that doesn't happen again this year.I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class.(3)______________________________________,so I'm eager to see the place.
