Nadia

Are you doing anything this weekend?

Sam

Yes, I'm going to visit my grandparents on Saturday. They live by the sea.

Nadia

Lovely. Are you going to stay the night?

Sam

No, I'm going to come back on Saturday evening. I've got football on Sunday morning.

Nadia

Oh, I forgot about the match! What time does it start?

Sam

Ten o'clock. Why don't you come and watch?

Nadia

OK, I'll come. I'll bring my brother too, he loves football.

Sam

Great. I'll save you two seats.
