Conversation 285 (Listen and Read)

Hey, Maggie.

I wanted to let you know I might not make it to the concert on Friday.

Something else came up unexpectedly.

Oh no, that's a shame. What do you have planned instead?

My cousin is arriving from out of town last minute,

and I promised to show him around the city for the day.

He's never been here before,

and I want to make sure he has a good time.

You know, he's more than welcome to join us at the concert.

It's a fantastic way to experience the local culture,

and the band puts on an amazing live show.

Last time, they even had a surprise guest artist who really rocked the stage!
