13- dictation

A: Hey, Alex. What's up?

B: Oh, nothing. I'm just planning for my dad's sixtieth birthday.

A: Wow. Your dad's sixty already? He looks so young. I would have thought he was fifty years old.

B: Ha! He'd love to hear that. Anyway, it's a special occasion, so I want to plan a surprise party for him.

A: That's nice. I'm sure he'll appreciate that. So when's the big day?

B: On the thirtieth.

A: That's only two weeks away! You'd better start planning!
