Laura: Eva, what are your plans for the coming weekend?
Eva: I’ll go to the seaside with Maria and Lisa.
Laura: What will you go by?
Eva: We’ll go by car and return by train. You see, Diana is going by car to the seaside, together with her husband, for a holiday, and they’re taking us with them, in their car. But as we’re returning Sunday evening we’ll have to return by train. We’ll leave Bucharest on Friday afternoon and we’ll reach the seaside resort Neptun in the evening.
Laura: How will you spend your two days there?
Eva: Well, we’ll get up fairly early in the morning. We’ll have breakfast at our hotel and then we’ll go to the beach to lie in the sun on the beach or in a deck chair. We’ll lie in the sun for a couple of hours and after that we’ll do some bathing and swimming in the sea or a swimming pool if the sea is too cold. I like to swim and I swim very well.
Laura: Will you also stop at Mamaia?
Eva: No, because we’ll have to be at the restaurant of our hotel in time for lunch.
Laura: What will you do in the afternoons?
Eva: On Saturday afternoon Diana and Alec will drive us to Mamaia to show us the big hotels and restaurants, the open-air theatres and cinemas there, and to take a walk along the coast of the sea. Then we’ll have dinner at one of the restaurants in Mamaia. On Sunday afternoon, Diana and Alec will drive us for a while up and down the coast of the Black Sea to see the seaside resorts.
Laura: Will you take the train for Bucharest from Mangalia?
Eva: Yes. And we’ll be back home not too late in the evening, in order to go to bed early enough, as we’ll have to get up very early on Monday morning to be able to get to our jobs in time.
Laura: By the way, what are your plans for this summer?
Eva: Well. I think I’ll go to a health resort in August.
Laura: I will go to a mountain resort. Perhaps we may go to the same place together.
Eva: Why not? We’ll speak on the phone about it. Bye-bye!
Laura: Bye-bye, Eva.

 VIRGO
the Virgin, Aug. 23 – Sept. 22 The planet Mercury rules Virgo, which is an earth sign. Astrologers believe that Virgoans are practical and are good communicators, but that they can be critical. Virgoans often have a great concern for health and hygiene; they are detail-oriented, analytical, intelligent, hard-working; and they can be perfectionists.
