Do you like sleeping under the stars? It can be fun and exciting to get out in nature. It can also be cold at night! If you like to go camping, you need a good sleeping bag. A sleeping bag will keep you warm and make you feel secure. Some sleeping bags are made for very cold places. People who climb high mountains always take a sleeping bag to protect them against the cold.
If you don’t like feeling restricted, you might not like sleeping bags. Maybe, small spaces scare you, or maybe, you like having your feet free. You can still go camping. All you need is a warm blanket… or two or three!
Gary and Jessica are talking about sleeping bags. Find out what they think in this English lesson.

Jessica: I am so excited to go camping this year because I love how cozy my sleeping bag is.
Gary: Oh, my. I have one. I have a sleeping bag at home, but I almost never use it because I just feel so restricted when I get into a sleeping bag.
Jessica: Really? Are you claustrophobic?
Gary: I’m not. When I go outside, and I’m camping, and I have a sleeping bag, I feel like I’m always getting way too warm. I guess I just feel really overheated.
Jessica: Oh, it gives me such a sense of security, though. When I’m out in the wild… and all the scary sounds that you hear sometimes… I just feel…
Gary: It is really cozy.
Jessica: Mm-hm.
Gary: It’s such a cozy feeling, yeah.
Jessica: That’s true.
Gary: It’s almost like you’re cuddling up with someone, but you’re all alone.
Jessica: Exactly. You’re enveloped in this fluffy, warm, snuggly sleeping bag. See?
Gary: Protected by a tent.
Jessica: I’m so excited. You’re making me even more excited to go camping.
Gary: Well, have fun when you go out there. If you do need another sleeping bag, let me know. I’ve got one in the closet.
Jessica: Sounds good.
