76. Live and Let Live p.12

Paul and Wendy are talking about the Amish.

P： What do you plan to do in the summer， Wendy？

W： To be frank， I haven't made any plans. What about you？

P： I'm thinking of going to Indiana.

W： What on earth for？

P： To tell the truth， I want to see how the Amish people live.

W： What for？ From what I hear， they're boring people. To be honest， I think they're kind of weird.

W： Well， to each their own， I guess.

P： Exactly， I wish more people would just live and let live.
