W: It’s a lovely day today! What would you like to do?
M: I really feel like doing something outdoors. Perhaps we could go hill walking?
W: Mm, I’m not really in the mood for hill walking. Why don’t we just go swimming?
M: That suits me. [12]But it will take an hour or two. Do you like to do something else first? Maybe we could go cycling?
W: I don’t think I enjoy that very much. Actually I’m not a good cyclist. Maybe we could have a meal at the new Italian restaurant.
M: That’s fine for me. I haven’t been to that restaurant yet [13] So that’s decided then. A meal at the new Italian restaurant then go to swim. Great! So, when should we meet?
W: [14] We’d better get to the restaurant a bit early because it might be very busy. I think we need to get there by 11:00.
M: Er, can I make it a little bit later, say, 11:20? [15] I have to visit my grandma this morning and I don’t think I can make it by then.
W: No problem. I’ll go straight to the restaurant at 11:00 and get you a table.
M: Great!
