Conversation
Anna: Hi, Jake. Have you seen the new movie at the theater?
Jake: Yes, I watched it last night. I think it was really exciting!
Anna: Oh, really? In my opinion, the trailer didn’t look very interesting.
Jake: Well, everyone has different tastes. Personally, I love action movies.

Anna: That sounds great! I’d love to.
