A long weekend is coming. Riri, Santi, and Bayu are talking about their plans.

Riri  : It will be a long weekend soon. Do you have any plans?

Santi : Uhm, I’m not sure. I don’t have any idea yet. I think I might stay at home.

Bayu : Stay at home? Well, you could do something more interesting!

Santi : So, what about you Bayu? Do you have any plans?

Bayu : Definitely! My dad and I are going to go fishing.

Santi : Fishing? It sounds boring too! Are you going to go fishing in the river near your house?

Bayu : No. We plan to go fishing in a lake near my uncle’s house. Would you like to come with us?

Santi : Fishing? I don’t really like fishing. I would rather stay at home than go fishing.

Bayu : What about you, Riri? What would you like to do on the long weekend?

Riri  : I have made a plan with my mother about what to do on this long weekend. We are going to practice baking cookies.

Santi : That sounds like a very good plan!

Bayu : Are you going to bake choco chips cookies like the last time?

Riri  : Well, yes. That is my favorite. But we will also try to make ginger cookies.

Santi : Oh, how I envy you. My mother is going to accompany my little brother to attend a drawing competition. I don’t think I can ask her to teach me baking cookies.

Bayu : Ha ha, I guess you should enjoy staying at home alone.

Riri  : Oh, would you like to join me to learn baking cookies? You can come to my house.

Bayu : It’s a good idea! Or will you go fishing with me and my dad?

Santi : Uhm, not fishing I guess. But I think I would like to bake cookies with Riri. Thanks for asking me to join you Riri.
