Cindy, can you show me how to call Connecticut?
Who do you know there?
A good friend of mine is there on a homestay program, too.
I see.
Is it expensive to make out-of-state calls?
Yeah, but it isn't more expensive than international calls.
What do I do here?
Easy. Dial the area code for Connecticut ; then dial your friend's number.
That's it?
Check the local time before you call. You don't want to wake your friend up by accident.
