According to the conversation, last summer was
1) hotter than usual.
2) near normal.
3) colder than usual.
Mia: Hi, Nick! What are you doing in school on Saturday afternoon? You should be somewhere else, enjoying your weekend.
Nick: Hi, Mia. I wanted to ask you the same question.
Mia: I've got some very important business here. We are arranging a party for the newcomers.
Nick: Newcomers?
Mia: Yes. There are four new students in our class this year. They are ... kind of shy. And we decided to give a special party for them, to make them feel more at home here.
Nick: It's a bit unusual for teenagers to support shy newcomers... But it's really cool! Good luck with that!
Mia: Thanks.
Nick: And what kind of a party do you want it to be? A fancy dress party?
Mia: That's a brilliant idea! We were thinking about an ordinary party with music, chatting, dancing, some pizza and drinks. But your idea is great! When you have a mask on you feel freer and much less shy, don't you?
Nick: Well, yes, I think so. And...?
Mia: When people are wearing masks, they pretend to be strangers, and the new people stop feeling like strangers in this situation. They make friends more easily.
Nick: You're probably right. Good luck with it once again. And...
Mia: Yes?
Nick: You haven't told me anything about your holidays yet. I heard you were abroad.
Mia: Yes, I was. I went to France for a couple of weeks.
Nick: To learn French? To a language school?
Mia: Oh, no. My parents and I went there as tourists. I'd never been to Paris before, though my grandmother comes from France. But we have no relatives left there now.
Nick: Did you stay in a hotel?
Mia: Yes, in the centre of Paris. It was a very convenient location and we managed to see lots of interesting places in the city and around it!
Nick: I see. And the rest of the summer?
Mia: Oh, nothing special, just routine.
Nick: Didn't you go anywhere else apart from France?
Mia: No. The seaside was out as the trip to Paris ate up a considerable part of the family budget. We only went to the country for barbeque parties three or four times, we weren't very lucky with the weather.
Nick: Oh yes, the summer was rainy and really cold. The weather people kept saying that the unusually low temperatures would get higher in a week or so but their promises never came true.
Mia: No, they didn't. Unfortunately. But never mind. That kind of weather gave me a chance to take up a new hobby.
Nick: What is it? Knitting, photography or collecting celebrity posters?
Mia: None of them. You'll never guess. It's baking biscuits and making cakes.
Nick: Oh, it sounds much more original than posters! And much tastier!
