Sample transcript

Ricardo: Did you take a lot of vacations when you were younger?

Maura: Yeah, every summer, at least, we went away somewhere, I think.

Ricardo: Really?

Maura: But you’ll have to wait. I’ll talk about it later.

Ricardo: Alright.

Maura: So the first thing we’re going to talk about is different types of vacations.

Ricardo: Different types of vacations.

Maura: Yeah, so the first kind of vacation – and this is a really new term – is called a staycation.

Ricardo: A staycation. I’ve never heard of that before. What is that… a staycation?

Maura: It’s a vacation where the people stay at home. So they take time off from work, but they don’t travel anywhere, they just stay at home and relax and take care of things.

Ricardo: That could be fun and it’s also a good way to save money too.?
