2.While you listen
Summer holidays
Are you going away this summer?Yes,we're going to Portugal.
Oh,really?Whereabouts?
We're not sure exactly.We're going camping.so we've just booked the fight.
We're going to rent a car when we get there.
I suppose we'll probably go north of Lisbon-up the coast.
That sounds great.It's supposed to be lovely there.
Have you ever been there before?
No,but my girlfriend's wanted to go for ages.so we thought we'd give it a try.
What about you?Are you doing anything special?
We haven't really decided yet.
There's some really cheap offers to lbiza at the moment.
Or we minght just go to Cornwall again.
Oh,yes,Cornwall.It's really nice down there.
We went a few years ago and had a great time.
We rented a cottage for a week last year.
But you never know what the weather's going to be like,do you?
No.I suppose not.But lbiza?Really?Are you serious?
Well.maybe,Why?Have you ever been there?
No.but I've never really wanted to go,to be honest.
It just sounds awful,from what I've heard.
It's supposed to be full of British tourists getting sunburnt and drunk.
Yes,I know.but at least we'd get some sun,and it's not all like that.
A friend of ours went last year
and said there were lots of places where you can get away from all the clubbers.
Oh,right.
And there are package holidays there for a hundred and fifty pounds for a week.
And it's really cheap when you get there.
Oh.well.it might be worth a try.then.
