Girl: Which holiday would you like to go on, Ricky?
Boy: I don’t know ... they all look interesting ... and the
prices are reasonable, aren't they? Er ... I don’t know ... I
think I'd like to go on the wildlife safari.
Girl: Really?
Boy: Yeah, I prefer hot places, you know. South Africa sounds
good.
Girl: Mm. I think the trip to Patagonia sounds the most
exciting, though.
Boy: Yes? You do?
Girl: I mean, you can really explore somewhere, you know,
which isn’t full of tourists. It'd be great, ‘cause you can go
skiing and mountaineering as well.
Boy: True.
Girl: I wouldn't like to go on the safari, actually. You know,
sitting around watching giraffes. (laughs) You can see them in
the zoo, can’t you?
Boy: Yeah, but isn’t the weather bad in Patagonia? It’s really
windy, isn’t it? It’s worse than the weather here!
Girl: Yeah, that’s true.
Boy: And that Patagonia trip sounds a bit, you know,
uncomfortable.
Girl: Maybe. But they give you everything you need. Tents,
four-wheel-drive cars ... it'd be a real adventure, wouldn't it?
Boy: No, not really. Not for me. I don’t like cold places. I'd
really prefer to go to Africa.
Girl: Well ... not me. Let’s have a look at one of the others.
What about rafting in Northern Turkey? That sounds quite
good, doesn’t it?
Boy: Mm right. But I wouldn't like to go rafting. I think it’s
really dangerous.
Girl: Oh, come on, Ricky. You'd love it in Turkey. It’s hot there
in the summer as well. You can’t complain about that!
Boy: No, I suppose not. And at least they've got guest houses.
I hate camping.
Girl: Yeah ... I know!
Boy: And maybe I should try rafting.
Girl: Right, great. And we could go to Istanbul on the way
back. I’ve heard it’s an amazing place.
Boy: OK ... right, let’s go there!
