 Where would you like to go?
Read Max and Sue’s conversation.
Max: I’d really like to go to somewhere warm this year. I’d really like a
vacation at the beach.

Sue: Me too. What about Greece? How about we go to somewhere like a

nice island? Somewhere away from big, busy cities.

Max: Actually, what about Turkey? Frank went with his family last year and
he really recommends it as a destination.

Sue: So how about two weeks in the south of Turkey? And on the way
home, we can spend a couple of days in Istanbul… does that sound
good?

Max: That sounds great. At the beach you can relax, do some sports
activities… and in the city you can visit some cultural attractions, like
museums and historic sites.
