Beginner
A: this is how a holiday should be. Relaxing on the beach with a nice cool drink.
B: isn’t it wonderful here? The kinds are enjoying themselves in the swimming pool. I hope it’s safe.
A; don’t worry about them. They’re very responsible. Besides, there are many people there and there’s lifeguard employed by the hotel. Waiter! Could I have another drink pleas³? Thank you. So, what shall we do this evening?
B: the kids said that they wanted to go to a party at the hotel. There’s a special one just for kids.
A; so, we could try that restaurant that was recommended in the guidebook. Then we could go to a club. We haven’t been to one for ages.
B; that’s a great idea. We can really enjoy ourselves without worrying about the kids.
A: now, how about going for a swim in the sea? We shouldn’t sunbathe all day.

Intermediate⁴
A: where do you think we should go on holiday this summer?
B: we, I’d like to go to Australia. I know it’s far to go, but I think it would be something different and special.
A: I’d really like to go to the Garibbean. We can relax on the beached and enjoy the sunshine.
B: there are beaches in Australia too, but I would prefer a more active holiday this year. We could visit ayers rock and the great barrier reef⁵. It would be so exciting.
A: but would it be relaxing? By summer. I’ll be quite tired from doing so much work. The last thing I need is to use more energy racing⁶ around Australia. I’d need another holiday to recover from the holiday!
B: oh, come on! A tour of Australia would be relaxing because you’d be doing something different and not working.
A: do you think so? I’m not so sure. Anyway, tell me your plans for an Australian holiday. How long do you think we should spend there?
B: I think we should go for two weeks. We could spend a week in the bush and a week at the great barrier reef-including a few day on the beach for tired office workers!
A: that doesn’t sound too bad. I’d certainly like to go diving. That’s one reason I wanted to go to the Caribbean.
B: we could hire a car and travel around the interior⁷ of Australia for several days. If we hire a car, we can go where we like.
A: we’d have to plan our drive before we leave. Let’s get a good guidebook form the bookstore when we go shopping it town tomorrow.
B; it looks like I might have convinced⁸ you to go to Australia!
