DIALOGUE
Alice : i planned a holiday for this week for my husbands birthday.
Susan: oh really! Where do you want to go?
Alice: we would like to go to Barcelona. What do you think about spending
time in Spain? Did you go there before?
Susan: yes I did. Personally, I think it is a fantastic place and full of
history. You will definitively love it a lot. Do you want to go there by plane
or train?
Alice: by train.
Susan: you cant be serious, it is very tiring. Travelling by plane is a little
bit expensive but safe and fast.
Alice: what about staying at a hotel or renting a room? What is your
opinion about it?
Susan: I believe that renting a room can be very comfortable. You can
enter your place at any time.
Alice: yes I agree with you, and then I can buy our ticket from the travel
agency.
Susan : I dont think so, buying ticket from the internet is very fast and
cheap. Isnt it?
Alice: exactly, you are very good at giving idea about a holiday plan and
one more questionis it a good idea to eat local food there?
Susan: sure thats what I think. You can try new and interesting food. It is
completely different from our culture. You can find fast food everywhere.
Alice : definitely you are right. Thanks for your help Susan. See you soon.

Susan : see you. I hope you will have great time there.
