II. DIALOGUE 'WOULD/WERE'

Gary: Hey Jill, if you were rich, like so rich you never had to worry about money ever, what would you do?

Jill: Hmm. If I were that rich, I would buy a nice house by the sea. I love the coast. And I would travel the world. I would visit every country in the world. How about you?

Gary: To be honest, I don’t really know, but I would give a lot of money to my parents. They are old and they have worked so hard all of their lives. Apart from that, yeah, well, traveling sounds good, yeah. I would love to do that. The rest, I’m not so sure.

Jill: Yeah, well, it’s time to get back down to earth now and stop dreaming. Tomorrow is another day at work and that ain’t going to make either of us rich.

Gary: Yeah, that's true. Better get on with it then.
