Do you mean these are yours? Are you going on a students’ archaeological expedition in Greece with all this stuff? - Don’t be silly. It’s me who’s leaving. Doesn’t that mean that the luggage is mine? I’ve packed the most essential things. - Essential things ? let’s see … What’s in here ?

In case it rains twice ? - In case one gets broken or something. Don’t make me nervous before the flight, will you? - All right, take everything you want if you feel happier with all these useless things. And, by the way, where is your ticket, passport, and insurance? - Oh, gosh! I’ve nearly forgotten them! Thank you. Sometimes you can be very helpful. WRITING 2. Read the postcard as an example.
