W: Where did you go on May Day? [13]I called you several times.
M: Really? [12]I have my holiday on a seaside resort.
W: Wow, that’s terrific. Did you travel alone?
M: No, [12]my wife and son also traveled with me. Where did you go then?
W: I went nowhere. I spent the whole holiday writing. I have to finish it before Mother’s Day. [13]But I do plan to travel next month, that’s why I’m calling you. Could you give me some advice?
M: Oh, how about the seaside? That’s a really good place for a holiday.
W: Sounds good.
M: There are two hotels I can recommend while you are on your trip. [14]They are both brand new and are usually fully booked. So you’d better call them in advance.
W: I see... so what are they like?
M: Well, one is called the Hotel Bay View. It’s on the coast. So, [15]it is very quiet and peaceful without noise or pollution. And the rooms are of standard size and they all have a nice little balcony, where you can overlook the ocean.
W: [15]That’s great! I need to have a tranquil period to relax. How about the other?
M: The other is a city center hotel. Of course, there are no views of the sea and it tends to be a bit noisy and busy. But it is very convenient for you to go anywhere from the hotel.
W: [15]Er, it’s useless for me. I don’t want to go shopping or do anything like that What about the price?
M: Well, the Central Hotel is quite a bit more expensive.
W: I know, thanks for your suggestion.
