Scene: Two friends, Sarah and Omar, are sitting at a table in a coffee shop. They are talking about their plans for the weekend.
Sarah: So, what are you up to this weekend?
Omar: I'm not sure yet. I might go to the movies with some friends. What about you?
Sarah: I'm thinking about going to the park with my family. We haven't been in a while.
Omar: That sounds like fun. I love spending time in the park.
Sarah: Me too. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Omar: What else do you like to do in your free time?
Sarah: I like to read, write, and play the guitar. I also like to spend time with my friends and family.
Omar: I like to read, too. I'm currently reading a book about history.
Sarah: That sounds interesting. I'm reading a novel about a young woman who moves to a new city.
Omar: What do you like to write about?
Sarah: I like to write short stories and poems. I'm also working on a novel.
Omar: That's impressive. I've always wanted to write a novel, but I'm not sure I have the patience for it.
Sarah: It takes a lot of time and effort, but it's also very rewarding.
Omar: I'll have to give it a try sometime.
Sarah: You should. It's a lot of fun.
Omar: So, what are your plans for the future?
Sarah: I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking about going to college to study English.
