A dialogue Plans for holidays
A: Hi, Sascha! Have you thought about where we’ ll go on holiday this summer? B: Would you like to go camping in Russia? A: No, that would be far too expensive and I don’ t like ships. We need to find something that we can both afford and can enjoy. B: I saw an advertisement yesterday in the newspaper for a package holiday in Italy. It’ s not that expensive and travel, accommodation and meals are included in the price. A: I’ ve been to Italy already so I’ d like something different. Can’ t you think of anything else? B: Well, how about a backpacking holiday around Europe then. That way we’ ll see plenty of countries. We can travel from place to place by train. It would be great fun! A: Yes, that sounds like a great idea. It’ s the cheapest option, we’ ll see plenty of places and countries, and we’ ll meet lots of backpackers from all over the world. Let’ s go backpacking then.
