| Muthu | Enough about me! How about you? |
| Gopal | Well, things are really looking up for me. I’m planning to take off for Goa as soon as I finish my finals. I’m sick of all this old, rainy weather we’ve been having. |
| Muthu | I wish I ______(go) with you. How are you planning to reach there? |
| Gopal | If I ______(have) enough money, I ______(fly). Otherwise, I ______(take) the bus. I wish ______(drive) my own car because it ______(be) nice to drive there, but it’s such a long trip. I’ve been looking for a friend to go with me and share the driving. |

| Gopal | Oh, Muthu! I can’t believe it. |
