Hi, Mom. This is Jill. Just calling to say hello. I'm having a wonderful time. Last week I met this really nice lady. We are getting along so well. She is a teacher here. She loves it and says maybe I could teach here someday! Anyway, what do you think? I'll call back later. Bye.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. This is Sean. I'm having a terrific time, but I'm not relaxing much. The weather is great so I'm always busy doing something. Things are really expensive in Hawaii—the hotel, the clothes, the food, everything—and I'm completely out of money. So can you send me some money as soon as possible? Thanks. Love you. Bye.

Mom. This is John. Listen. I'm going to be back a day late. Traffic to the airport this morning was terrible. By the time I arrived, my plane had left. I also lost my wallet in the rush. It has all my credit cards in it. And the airline won't help me. I'm not sure what to do. I'll call you later. Bye.

Oh, Bob. This is Rachel. Sorry I missed your call last night. I went out for dinner and today I've got a terrible stomachache. It must be something I ate. Anyway, I'm going to see the doctor. Don't worry—I'm sure I'll be fine. Talk to you soon.

Hi, Dad. This is Mary calling from Paris. Sorry I missed you. I went on a bus tour this morning and dropped my camera somewhere. I can't find it. It has all of my photos of me and Julie on it. And even photos from home. I don't know what to do about it. Can you call me back as soon as you get this message?

Hi, Mom. This is Meg calling. Listen. I won't be home tomorrow night. They changed my flight and there's no flight tomorrow. So, uh, I'll be home on Friday. Don't worry about me! I'm excited because I can do a few more things here in Hong Kong. See you soon. |
