M: Hi, Cindy.
W: Hello, John.
M: Did you enjoy Bob’s party the other night?
W: Yes, I did. It was really nice to see everyone again after all these years. I could hardly recognize Nancy. She used to be such a tomboy. Now she is so beautiful and elegant.
M: As the old saying goes: A girl changes fast and becomes beautiful. You know, she has married a general manager with a large company.
W: Really? But she deserves it
M: James must feel sorry to hear it. He and she used to be good friends in our class.
W: I know what you mean.
M: Anyway, what about that holiday we were talking about? Do you still want to go ahead with it?
W: You bet I do! I’ve been very busy at work and I really need a break. You know, just he in the sun and relax.
M: Are you kidding? I was thinking about something more active, like sightseeing or swimming. Maybe even surfing if you are up to it.
W: I think I could be persuaded. Yes, why not? Surfing sounds like fun to me. Then what destination do you have in mind?
M: Well, I called the travel agent this morning and picked up some brochures. Here, take a look. I have got one on the South of France which looks nice. Or there’s Italy if you fancy some culture. Or of course, there’s Greece.
W: Greece sounds good. I haven’t been there before. Look at that picture. Blue sky, white sands and a beautiful clear blue sea.
M: I know. But have you seen the price? 450 pounds for one week. And that doesn’t include the hotel!
W: Yeah, it is a bit expensive, isn’t it? What about the South of France?
M: That’s a lot cheaper. In fact there is a special deal on at the moment. 10 days, including the hotel, for only 250 pounds.
W: Let’s have a look at Italy.
M: I already have. It’s far too expensive.
W: France it is then, I think.
