(defun my-function ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((response (read-from-minibuffer "Hi, how are you today? "))
         (new-prompt (format "I see, you're %s?  And where did you go 
yesterday?" response))
         (response2 (read-from-minibuffer new-prompt)))
    (message "I hope you enjoyed %s" response2)))
