Kevin: What’s the weather report for today?
Dorothy: Hmm, let’s see. It’s 55 degrees and foggy.

Dorothy: I have a jacket, but I think I need more outerwear. I wonder if I should go shopping this weekend.

Dorothy: I’m already doing that but sometimes it’s not enough. Maybe I’ll get a scarf.
Kevin: That’s a good idea.
