Step-by-step explanation:
Me: Dad/Mom, can I talk to you for a minute?
Dad/Mom: Sure, what’s on your mind?
Me: Well, I was thinking that since school is closed for the December holidays, I’d like to visit my friend who lives about a hundred kilometres away from here. Can I have your permission to go?
Dad/Mom: That sounds like a good idea. Have you thought about how you’re going to get there and back?
Me: Yes, I was thinking of taking the bus or train. It should only take a few hours to get there.
Dad/Mom: Alright. Do you have any idea how much money you’ll need for the trip?
Me: I checked online and it should be around $50 for the round trip.
Dad/Mom: Okay. I can give you the money for the ticket, but you’ll have to pay me back when you get back home.
Me: Thank you, Dad/Mom. I really appreciate it.
Dad/Mom: No problem. Just make sure you stay safe and keep in touch with us while you’re away.
Me: I will. Thanks again!
