Conversation Transcript

Pete:Hey Kate, is that a new iPad?

Kate: Yeah. I just got it.

Pete: Wow. It looks sweet, not cheap though.

Kate: No, it was quite expensive but I'll get my money’s worth out of it.

Pete: Really? What are you going to use it for?

Kate: Well. I’m going to use it for checking my Facebook and Twitter all the time so I can keep in touch with friends and I’m going to use it to play games too. I love playing games but hopefully I won't spend too much time doing that.

Pete: Ah, I wonder. Well, what about using it for checking your e-mails?

Kate: Emails, yeah, I guess I could check my emails but hey, emails are so yesterday right?

Pete: Yeah, well, I’m getting a little behind the times. Guess I better think of getting one myself when I have some money.
