He mirado la previsi\u00f3n del tiempo y va a llover. Si hiciera buen tiempo hir\u00eda, pero si llueve no voy a ir.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: \u00a1Pero hacer camping con lluvia es muy divertido! El verano pasado fui con mi hermana de camping y llovi\u00f3 todos los d\u00edas. Lo pasamos genial jugando a las cartas en la tienda de campa\u00f1a. Si no hubiera llovido, no lo habr\u00edamos pasado tan bien.<br \/>\nGeorge: \u00bfJugando a las cartas? Odio jugar a las cartas. Es un aburrimiento.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: \u00bfY si llevo el scrabble vendr\u00e1s?<br \/>\nGeorge: \u00bfEl scrabble? \u00a1Es mi peor pesadilla!<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: \u00bfBueno, pues t\u00fa qu\u00e9 haces cuando llueve?<br \/>\nGeorge: Si llueve, me quedo en casa viendo la tele. Si hubiera televisi\u00f3n en tu tienda de campa\u00f1a ir\u00eda.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: Pues no, no hay televisi\u00f3n. Pero voy a llevar mi estereo con un mont\u00f3n de m\u00fasica buen\u00edsima. Si me dices que canciones te gustan, puedo preparar un recopilatorio con tus canciones favoritas. \u00bfSi lo preparo vendr\u00e1s?<br \/>\nGeorge: Mmmm. No. Creo que no. Puedo escuchar m\u00fasica en casa. Si voy de camping quiero estar al aire libre. No en la tienda de campa\u00f1a todo el d\u00eda. No tiene sentido.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: Bueno, pues entonces nada.<br \/>\nGeorge: Si cambia la previsi\u00f3n del tiempo y dicen que va a hacer sol ir\u00e9. Te llamar\u00eda si esto pasara.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: Vale. Si me llamas y no te cojo el tel\u00e9fono, llama a mi hermana. Mi m\u00f3vil no funciona muy bien \u00faltimamente y a veces no suena.<br \/>\nGeorge: \u00a1Qu\u00e9 raro! Tienes que comprarte uno nuevo.<br \/>\nSof\u00eda: Si tuviera m\u00e1s dinero me comprar\u00eda uno ahora. Voy a esperar a las rebajas.<br \/>\nGeorge: Ah claro.
