choosing us. For now, we have a lot of promotions to various destination

family.

type- sea : the destination is Langkawi. An island with beautiful sceneries.
Other than that, Mount Kinabalu for an adventure holiday trip. Meanwhile,

is there have any activities to make the trip much more enjoyable?

Travel agent : Yes ma’am. Of course. There are a numerous activities to make your trip much

kayaking, playing banana boat, jet ski and also swimming with the family.
For your information, there are multiple islands that you can visit there. For
example, ‘Tasik Dayang Bunting’, ‘Lady Island’, ‘Pulau Beras Basah’ and
many more.

Husband : Wow! That fun. What about the other two destination? I think we should listen
about the rest of the destinations too.

Travel agent : For the next destination is Mount Kinabalu. What else can be done instead of
climbing mountain. Besides, there’s plenty of thrilling activities that offered
there such as riding ATV. After all, the activities there are very limited and only
suitable for adult.

Husband : Oh I see! Definitely Lisa will disappointed as she cannot take part in this vacation
because unsuitable for her age and ability.

Travel agent : I understand your situation sir. Lastly, you have another option left which is
Singapore. For this country, definitely you will enjoy you vacation. I
guarantee it! Your family and you will gain a lot of knowledge and experiences
since the country is full of historical place. Your family and you also can join to
watch and learn about culture of their country.

Wife : The activities for these three destination are too fascinating. My husband and I
can’t choose the best destination. How about the accommodation there?

The accommodation are important for us because this is family trip. For your
information, I have a ten years old kid.

Travel agent: Don’t worry about the accommodation ma’am. We only prefer 3 stars or 4 stars
hotels except for Mount Kinabalu. There’s no hotels due to it is a camping
area. Therefore we provide tent to stay. On the other hand, in Langkawi got
double family rooms with shower, television and A/C. However, in Singapore
there an extra providence single room and internet connection. Plus the
hotels in Singapore also provide bar and restaurants meanwhile hotel facilities in
Langkawi including free parking. As you know, this travel agency only provide
a good and comfortable place for the whole family. There’s no need to
worry about it.

Husband : We put our trust in your agency. All the facilities that has been provided are
satisfying.

Wife : Yeah! After listened to your explanation, I can imagine that I can rest my whole
body after doing a lot of activities in the end of the day. However, we also need an
internet connection in our hotel. It is because I can upload our photos during this trip
on the spot and we don’t have to wait until we back to our home.

Travel agent: It is true ma’am. If that so, I think the better choice to your family is a vacation to
Singapore. This is because, the place also very beautiful plus it is an
international holiday destination. I’m pretty sure that your kid might be very happy
when she know that she will be going to foreign country. Other than that, it
will also help your kid to gain her general knowledge about other countries.

Wife : It is true. I also think that Singapore is the best place to spend our time and it also
give many benefits to our kid .So dear, what is your decision? Do you
agree with me?

Then, husband and wife ask the travel agent to give them a couple of minutes to discuss further
about their decision on this trip. The wife definitely persuade her husband to choose Singapore
as their last choice. But then, something happened between their discussion that made them
change their mind at last minute.

Wife : I personally feel that Singapore is the best choice among all three destinations.
What do you think?

Husband : If you ask me. I don’t think so because we need to telly with our budget trip first.
We only provided less than RM 1000 per person. Other than that, we
need to think carefully and wisely before deciding the optional.

Wife : Oh My! I see your point there. But if we choose Singapore, our daughter will
surely learn something on this trip. I really hope that we can travel to Singapore.
Please dear! Besides that, this will be our first trip to abroad.

Husband : Well my lovely wife, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Well, as we know Singapore
is among the well-known country. So, the expanses over there will surely high
a and we need to add more money if we choose there. There is no foods included
in this trip. We don’t have any choice unless we need to find and pay the foods
ourselves. Moreover, we need to think of our daughter will. For me, I’m
not really stingy for her, but if we choose Langkawi, we can absolutely cut our
expanses.

Wife : Ermmmmm…..It’s true after all but….

Husband : Well look at this way, If we pick Langkawi as our vacation destination, Lisa and
us will also gain a lot experiences there. She will definitely learn
something on this trip like swimming in the sea for the first time and learn about the
creatures in the sea. I’m really sure that Lisa will cherish the moments since she
loves water very much. As a husband and a father, vacation abroad means
nothing to us if we keep worry about the budget. Moreover, whether we choose
abroad or not, it will not affect our vacation mood at all. It is all up to our
heart whether to create sweet and bad memories moments between us.

Wife : Well, I’m admit and agree with you. You know the best for us since you are the
leader of our lovely family. I’m pretty sure and confident with your
decision that this time we able to enjoy this moments together.

After the discussion between the husband and wife, finally they have made a decision to choose
the best destination for them. Then, they meet the travel agent to confirm and proceed their
plan.

Wife : Sorry for taking your time. We unanimously chose Langkawi as the best
destination for us.

Travel agent: Okay, sir and madam! As your wish. But you guys are going to miss a golden
opportunity by didn’t going to Singapore. Once again, did you want to
make any changes?

Husband : No! This is our last and final decision.

Travel agent : Then, okay. I will register your name in Langkawi’s holiday package. I hope you
and your family will have a nice vacation. Thank you sir for choosing us
as your travel agency for your trip. We will try our best to serve you. Last
but not least, we will contact and inform you the details of the trip as soon as
