Hello, Sue! I'm leaving tomorrow on vacation.
How nice! Where are you going?
Italy.
Tell me more.
Well, I'm leaving at 8 tomorrow morning.
Are you driving to the airport, or are you taking a coach?
Driving. That's about an hour. Er, I'm arriving at the airport at 9 o'clock and taking off at 10 o'clock.
What are you going to do in Italy? Lie on the beach and get nicely sun-tanned?
I enjoy sunbathing on the beach. But this holiday is going to be a bit different. It's more of a cultural holiday. I hope to visit some museums, art galleries, taste a bit of the food and the drink, and experience the lifestyle of Italy.
Sounds pretty interesting.
Yeah, I've got a whole list of museums and art galleries. And in fact, I'm hiring a car in Milan so I can drive around a bit.
That's a good idea. Hiring a car makes it easier to see the city. Well, actually I'm going to have a holiday which is rather different from yours.
Where are you going then?
Haven't decided yet. I may go to the beach and stay in a small hotel where I can watch the sea. I just want to take it easy, you know.
I understand. You've worked too hard this semester. A bit of rest will do you good.
That's true. Oh, Gosh! I've got to go now. Have a nice holiday!
