Task 2: Planning for the Holidays
M: Hey, Susan, my classes in this semester are over at last!
W: Over? I still have two finals to take and three term papers to finish.
M: Take it easy! I can’t wait for the holidays. Where shall we go?
W: I haven’t even thought about anything but assignments and classes yet. You got any ideas?
M: I really want to have a change. I’d like to go somewhere far away from school and forget about
lectures and essays and all that hard work.
W: Sounds good to me. How much time do we have before the next semester starts?
M: About three weeks, I guess.
W: How about if we go to the coast? It would be warm and we can sun ourselves.
M: The coast would be good. But let’s look at some other options. There ‘re mountains in the
north. We could go skiing.
W: Skiing is exciting, but I really want to get relaxed.
M: How about we hoop a plan to China? We can spend a quiet time with people there for the
Chinese Spring Festival.
W: Don’t be joking. Ok, the mountains. But the most important thing for me at the moment is
tomorrow’s exam.
M: Good luck to you, Susan! I’ll start packing.
