W: Where did you go on May Day? I called you several times.
M: Really? I have my holiday on a seaside resort.
W: Wow, that’s terrific. Did you travel alone?
M: No, 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. 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. 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, 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: 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: 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.
