Description of Task: Your sister’s boyfriend or your brother’s girlfriend is coming for the first time to the U.S from Panama City. They met 3 years ago during a student exchange program in Panama. They have been dating since, but you don’t know anything about that person. Your brother or sister is asking for your approval, but since you don’t know anything about the other person, you can not make a decision. Therefore, you will have a conversation with this person to find out more things about his or her life. I will suggest a list of personal information things such as manners, taste for food, favorite things to do, culture, family relationships, likes and dislikes, and point of view that will help you to create and formulate important questions to complete your task

Are the prices different? Is the museum bigger? Are the collections different?
