2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.

When someone asks you if you want to head somewhere, they are asking you if you want to go somewhere. It’s kind of a weird thing about our language, one of our idioms. I am so happy that we happened to have this conversation during Head Week because it fits perfectly into our theme! Let’s attack this lesson, head on!

Sara:  I was thinking maybe, um, Seaside.

Steph:  That would be cool. I like it there!

Sara:  Yeah. They have really cool games and stuff that we could play. And we could play volleyball on the beach, and.

Steph:  Yeah. That would be fun. Don’t they have a carousel there?

Sara:  I think so. Yeah. I think we could probably ride the carousel.

Steph:  Ooh, can we eat cotton candy, too?

Sara:  Totally. We can eat hot dogs and cotton candy and caramel apples and popcorn. It’ll be great!

Steph:  Ooh ooh. What about elephant ears?

Sara:  Yeah. We can definitely have elephant ears.
