Dialogue: After the Holidays

Yasmin: Hello Saba! How are you?

Saba: I am fine. Thank you. What about you?

Yasmin: I’m fine. How were your holidays?

Saba: They were great fun. I read a lot of stories. What did you do during the holidays?

Yasmin: I learned to make clay toys.

Saba: That’s nice! Maybe I’ll learn to make clay toys from you..

Yasmin: You are welcome.

Situation: Lucy and Andrew are talking about their end-of-year holiday.

Lucy: Where did you go on holiday?

Andrew: I went to Beijing with my parents.

Lucy: How was it? Did you have a good time?

Andrew: It was wonderful. Beijing is a great city with many historical landmarks.

Lucy: What did you see there?

Andrew: We saw the Great Wall and other interesting places such as old palaces, as well as pandas. They were really interesting!

Lucy: I have been to Beijing once to attend a conference, but I didn’t have time to travel around. 

Andrew: Too bad. You could have stayed longer. It’s not difficult to find cheap hotels in Beijing. 

Lucy: Really? Where did you stay, anyway?

Andrew: We stay at the Orange Hotel, near the Palace Museum.

Lucy: Was it good?

Andrew: Yes, it was a great budget hotel. The room was clean, and it offered free drinks, fruit, and snacks every day. How about your holiday?

Lucy: I didn’t go out because I took a charity job as a volunteer tutor.

Andrew: Oh, that’s good. I may want to try that on my next holiday.
