Person 1: I was thinking of using pre-made pasta to save time. I can make a simple tomato sauce to go with it.
Person 2: Perfect. Do you want to make the salad or should we buy a pre-made one?
Person 1: Let’s make the salad ourselves. We can do a simple mix of greens with some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots.
Person 2: Great idea. What about drinks?
Person 1: I was thinking of having some wine and beer, but we can also make some cocktails if people want them.
Person 2: Sounds good. Do you have any cocktail recipes in mind?
Person 1: Maybe we can make some margaritas or mojitos. Those are always crowd-pleasers.
Person 2: Those sound great. Do you want to make them from scratch or buy pre-made mixers?
Person 1: Let’s make them from scratch. That way we can adjust the flavors to our liking.
Person 2: Okay, sounds good. Do we need to buy any decorations or should we keep it simple?
Person 1: Let’s keep it simple. We can just put out some candles and flowers for a nice touch.
Person 2: Perfect. I’ll help you with the shopping and we can get everything ready before the party.
Person 1: Thanks! I’m really looking forward to it.
14.) Making Weekend Plans

Person 2: Not yet. Do you have any ideas?
Person 1: I was thinking of going for a hike on Saturday. There’s a new trail that just opened up and I’ve been wanting to check it out.
Person 2: That sounds like a lot of fun. What time were you thinking of going?
Person 1: I was thinking of leaving early in the morning, around 8 am. That way we can beat the crowds and have the trail to ourselves.
Person 2: Sounds good to me. What should we bring?
Person 1: We’ll definitely need water, snacks, and sunscreen. And depending on the weather, we might need some extra layers.
Person 2: Okay, I’ll make sure to pack all of that. What about Sunday?
Person 1: I was thinking of doing something more low-key on Sunday. Maybe we can go to the farmer’s market and then have a picnic in the park?
Person 2: That sounds lovely. What kind of food do you want to bring for the picnic?
Person 1: We can do some sandwiches, fruit, and cheese. And maybe some wine or lemonade to drink.

Person 1: No, I haven’t seen it yet. What’s it about?
Person 2: It’s about a young black man growing up in Miami and coming to terms with his sexuality. It’s really beautifully shot and the acting is fantastic.
Person 1: That sounds really interesting. I’ll definitely check it out. Do you have a favorite movie genre?
Person 2: I really like psychological thrillers. I think movies that mess with your mind and keep you on the edge of your seat are really exciting.
Person 1: I can see why you would like that. Personally, I like romantic comedies. I know they can be cheesy sometimes, but there’s something really heartwarming about them.
Person 2: I can see why you would like those too. Have you seen “When Harry Met Sally”?
Person 1: Of course! That’s one of my all-time favorites.
Person 2: Mine too! I think it’s a classic for a reason.
Person 1: Definitely. I could watch it over and over again and never get tired of it.
Person 2: Same here. It’s always fun to talk about movies and find new things to watch.

Person 2: That sounds like fun. What kind of music do they play?
Person 1: They’re a indie rock band. I think you might like them too.

Person 1: I could definitely use some help with the pizzas. Do you have any experience making them?
Person 2: Yeah, I’ve made them a few times before. We can make the dough and toppings ahead of time and then assemble them at your place.
Person 1: Perfect. And what about drinks?
Person 2: We could do a simple beer and wine selection, and maybe make a signature cocktail for the party.
Person 1: Ooh, that’s a good idea. Do you have any suggestions?
Person 2: How about a classic margarita? We could make a big batch and serve it in a pitcher.
Person 1: Sounds good to me. And what about music?
Person 2: We could make a playlist ahead of time with some of your favorite songs, or we could even hire a local DJ to come play some music.
Person 1: I think a playlist would be fine. I can put one together on Spotify.
Person 2: Great. And what about decorations?
Person 1: Just some balloons and maybe a banner that says “Happy Birthday” would be nice.
