W: Good morning. Can I help you?
M: Yes, I’d like to get some information about trips to New Zealand.
W: Certainly. Take a seat and I’ll be right with you.
M: Thanks.
W: Now, where would you like to go in New Zealand?
M: Well, I was hoping to do a bit of travelling around, actually. There are a few things I’d like to see and do before I go back home.
W: Right.
M: One thing I really want to do is go to Christchurch. [1]I would like to visit my mother’s cousin there and I can stay with him.
W: Yes, it’s a lovely city. And staying with relatives will help with the budget, of course.
M: The budget?
W: It will save you some money.
M: Oh right! Well, I’m not too worried about that. I’ve saved quite a bit of money working in Australia.
W: Oh, that’s nice. Good for you! Well, you know that New Zealand consists of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, and Christchurch is on the South Island.
M: Is it? I was never very good at geography at school! Do you have a map I could look at?
W: Sure! Here we are.
M: Right. I see. I’d also like to spend some time in Auckland. [2]And maybe I could do an English language course there. Can you organise that sort of thing for me?
W: Certainly. We’d be happy to arrange that. But bear in mind that Auckland is in the North Island.
M: OK And I’d also like to do some skiing or maybe even some snowboarding. I hear New Zealand is a great place for that.
W: Yes, absolutely. But you should go to Auckland first for your studies, and then you can get the ferry across to the South Island and take the bus down to the snow.
M: Oh, I don’t like boats very much. I’m not much of a sailor. [3]I think I’d prefer to fly.
W: Right. What about joining a walking tour in the South Island? That could be really fun.
M: Not sure about walking, but it might be a good way to travel, [4]because then I might make some friends my own age.
W: Now, let’s get some details. Can I have your name, please?
M: Yes, it’s Jack Lee, and you can call me Jack.
W: OK, Jack. And what’s your address here in Melbourne?
M: I’m living with my aunt in the suburb of Kew.
W: OK And when do you want to travel? Because you’ll need to be down south in July or August.
M: Oh, yes. Of course. That’s winter, isn’t it? [5]So I’d better go to Auckland in May.
W: Yes, Let’s say departing from Melbourne on the first of May—that’s a Saturday—and then you could begin your course on Monday the third.
M: That sounds great!
