Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Good morning. What can I do for you?
M: Good morning. [19]I've come for some advice. My nephew and I think it's time for us to fix up our summer holiday abroad. It's nearly February, after all. But we can't decide where to go.
W: Very sensible of you to come in now. We've already made lots of bookings and we're getting busier all the time.
M: We've watched lots of television travel programs and read hundreds of travel brochures and asked our friends. But we still can't make up our minds where to go.
W: It seems like that it's a really hard decision to make, right?
M: I tell you what, you are reading my mind. [20]Neither of us wants the same kind of holiday as we had before.
W: In that case, how about the east of Germany? But there've been forest fires there this year. Or there's Switzerland. You could have a walking holiday.
M: Well, do I have any other choices?
W: Ah... [21]What about a cruise? They have magnificent ships these days. You can go to Greece or Turkey.
M: [21]Well, you know, rich food in those countries always upsets my stomach.
W: What about a package holiday to Spain? Lots of people do that now. You fly there and stay in an ultra-modern hotel. There's usually food available. They're fairly cheap holidays and very popular.
M: [22]Actually the child is longing to go to France-he's learning French at school. He likes to go to a fairly quiet place where he could chat to the locals.
W: Ah, I have it. How about a camping holiday in France?
M: That sounds great! Can I have a detailed schedule?
