Essential and Optional 1 Things
Ella: It’s so exciting that you’ll be spending a month studying in McQuillanland this summer. When do you start packing?
Marty: I’ve already started. The organizers of the program gave me a list of things I need to bring.
Ella: That’s really helpful.
Marty: Yeah. They say that it’s essential that I bring both warm- weather and cold-weather clothes. The weather in McQuillanland is really unpredictable.
Ella: Oh, I didn’t know that.
Marty: Yeah, and they say that it’s advisable 2 that I bring medications for every malady 3 I can think of because there are a lot of health dangers.
Ella: Wow, I never knew that about McQuillanland.
Marty: Me, neither. And while it’s optional, it’s also suggested that I leave all of my valuables at home. McQuillanland has a very high crime rate and visitors are often targeted.
Ella: Geez, that’s a lot to take in.
Marty: You’re telling me. And the list says that it is absolutely required that I take a self-defense course before going. You never know what to expect in McQuillanland.
Ella: You’re not having second thoughts about going, are you?
Marty: No, why?
