RYAN: I’m so happy this week of midterm exams is finished.

TYLER: Same here. I’m looking forward to relaxing in the mountains this weekend. I’ve planned a
little hike in the woods.

And I’m gonna take a canoe trip down the river if the weather cooperates.

RYAN: Oh, fun! I’m going to Michigan. I’m taking my camera because fall is coming fast. The
leaves are already turning all shades of red and orange. It will be awesome.

TYLER: Next time you go there, I’ll join you. I’ve heard Michigan is a great place to go canoeing.
