Lesson 8: Vivian's Move

"On a gray, rainy morning, Vivian waved goodbye to the red door she had walked through for the last time."

"San Francisco was starting to feel more like home every minute."

"For the past couple of months, Vivian and her dad had been reading about San Francisco and California."

"Boston was beautiful and had wonderful restaurants, and she adored the fall leaves and the snowy winters."

Vivian's dad thinks San Francisco is better than Boston.

San Francisco doesn't get snow like Boston does.

Vivian doesn't want to leave Boston for San Francisco.

Only Vivian loves the fall and the winter seasons.

"She thought it was too bad that San Francisco didn't get snow like Boston does."

"On the other hand, she thought about how much more fun the double-seated bike that she and her dad rode around Boston would be on these hilts-at least going down!"

"Vivian smiled when she saw restaurants with names like Mama Mia and Mangia Bene, and red, white, and green flags hanging in the windows."

"She wondered if it were possible for San Francisco to be as wonderful as Boston."
