A: Hi, Greg. How are you?

B: I feel really tired at the moment. I need to rest.

A: Where are you going to go?

B: I can’t take this anymore. I want to stay near the beach, but I can’t stand staying in crowded hotels.

It always seems weird to me as I'm an introvert.

A: Why don’t you go camping? You can stay by the beach and have nobody else around you.

You can be close to the nature and just relax there.

B: That’s not a bad idea. Do you think I’ll like it?

A: Trust me. You will like it. I'm pretty sure about it. Score 5
