Lesson 3 – California Dreaming 

I'm dreaming of California. It is [bad word] my favorite thing to do! It is all I'm doing in school and I'm having trouble paying attention. I'm just thinking about my trip to California. I see myself living there, making friends and discovering all there is going on at the Golden Coast. It is driving me crazy! I'm going to make my [bad word] [bad word] there. I'm going there this summer and I'm beginning to get my things together. My friend Jessica [bad word] with me and we are both going by plane to LAX. We are getting all our baggage ready for the trip. It is now August and we are finally arriving at the airport. We are putting our bags into the bag check and we are walking to the gate. We are having a great time and it is so exciting. The stewardess is giving us refreshments and speaking to the pilot. The pilot starts talking on the loud speaker "We are arriving in Los Angeles in over 8 hours. Enjoy your flight!" It is a long flight, but we are happy we are actually making the trip! I can see myself eating in fancy restaurants in Venice Beach and walking on the board walk with friends and swimming in the crystal clear Pacific Ocean water. Me and my friend Jessica are thinking about sleeping but we just can't wait to arrive. All of a sudden I hear the pilot say "We are now arriving in Los Angeles. Please, stay seated while we are making our final descent!" We are getting off the plane and all I'm seeing is the gorgeous palm trees swaying in the wind, glowing sun shining in the sky and the huge Hollywood sign glowing white on the hillside. I'm thinking I'm finally here, I'm no longer dreaming.
