PART 1

visiting a Friend

The first time Christina went to San Francisco was when she was a high school student.

Yesterday, they went downtown and rode the cable cars.

Christina has never been there before, so she is excited.

This time she and her friend plan to relax and have fun.

He enjoyed watching some great soccer matches.

Tomorrow they`ve planning to drive to Yosemite national park. 

They walked along the ocean and ate lunch at a seafood restaurant.

It`s been three years since she started her own business.

He tried to start a company two years ago, but it didn`t work out.

This is the first vacation she has had for a long time.

Christina is on a two-week vacation.

Christina was surprised by how steep the hills are.

She hasn`t had a vacation for more than 2 years.
