M: So, on holiday, how do you like travelling? By plane, train or car?
W: Well, I don’t like airports, so put ‘train’. I hate travelling by car.
M: Me too. I put ‘plane’ because, well, planes are faster than trains.
W: Not always! OK, number two. It says, ‘I like staying in a) a hotel, b) a
selfcatering apartment or c) a tent.’
M: Forget the tent! Um, in an apartment. And you?
W: In a hotel.
M: Really? A hotel’s more expensive than an apartment!
W: Yeah, but it’s more comfortable. Hmm ... next question. Do you prefer
relaxing on a beach, doing something sporty or going sightseeing?
M: What does it mean – something sporty?
W: Erm, playing tennis or maybe golf.
M: No, thank you! Not on holiday. But I hate staying on the beach all day.
Boring!
W: OK – there’s one we answered the same. So we agree about that.
M: Yeah, sightseeing’s definitely more interesting than the beach!
W: Right. When do you like going on holiday: in spring, summer or winter?
M: In spring – I never go on holiday in winter, but I don’t really like very hot
weather. Tourist places are more crowded in summer.
W: True. But the weather’s better. Summer’s hotter than spring. I love hot

weather.
M: Well, we don’t agree there. Anyway, next question. What do you like
eating: local dishes, the food you usually eat or fast food?
W: Local dishes, I think. You?
M: Definitely!
W: Hmm, interesting. Next: in the evenings I like going for a walk, going to
a restaurant or going to a nightclub.
M: Erm, going to a restaurant.
W: Oh, good. Me too. I don’t like noisy places.
M: Yes, I agree. Restaurants are quieter, more relaxing. But I like going for
a walk, too, sometimes, so I’m not sure. OK, let’s say ‘going to a
restaurant’.
W: And the last question: how long is your perfect holiday?
M: Three months.
W: You can’t have three months! The answer is: ‘a weekend, a week or a
month’.
M: OK, a month then.
W: Me too!
M: Maybe we can travel together …

I = Interviewer J = Jeff
I: So, Jeff, a few questions about the trip. What was the coldest place
you visited?
J: The coldest place was in the mountains in Kyrgyzstan. There was lots
of snow, too.
I: Really? And what was the hottest place?
J: Well, it was Turpan, China. I think it was over fifty degrees centigrade.
I: Ah, was it? And what was the friendliest place?
J: That’s an impossible question. I can’t say. We met so many fantastic
people. I think Iran – the people there were so kind. Perhaps that was
my biggest surprise.
I: OK. What was the longest you travelled in one day?
J: One day we travelled about a hundred and fifty kilometres in Western
China. That was a long day!
I: Very! So what was the most beautiful building you saw?
J: There were some great ones in all of the countries but my favourite
building was the Bibi-Khanym Mosque in Uzbekistan. I think it’s the
most beautiful building in the world.
I: Wow! So what was the most amazing experience of the journey?
J: Arriving in Istanbul after twelve thousand kilometres. Amazing!

W: Excuse me.
M: Yes?
W: Can you tell me the way to the Beatles Story?
M: Yeah. You go straight on here and can you see those traffic lights?
W: Yes.
M: Well, turn left at the traffic lights.
W: Turn left?
M: Yes. Then you go past some water – that’s Salthouse Dock – and you
come to some big red buildings – that’s Albert Dock. You can’t miss it.
W: OK.
M: There are always a lot of tour buses there. Go straight on for about a
hundred metres and the Beatles Story is on your right.
W: Thanks. So it’s left at the traffic lights and then past some water and
then it’s on the right, at Alba … ?

W: Excuse me, is there a cinema near here?
M: Erm, let me think. Yes, there’s a cinema in Liverpool One, the big
shopping centre, but it’s not very near.
W: Can you tell me the way?
M: I think the easiest way is, erm, OK, go straight on here and then turn
right at the traffic lights. The name of the road is Liver Street.
W: Liver Street.
M: Yes, and keep walking. Go past the big car park on the left. There are
traffic lights at Hanover Street. Go straight on at the traffic lights.
There’s a pedestrian street. I think it’s called Paradise Street.

M: Go straight on. The cinema is on the left. You can’t miss it. It’s really
big.

traffic lights, …
M: No, turn right.
W: Turn right and go straight on.
M: Yes.
W: Erm, can you repeat the last part?
M: OK, at the traffic lights at Hanover Street, don’t turn left or right, just go
straight on.
W: OK, and then the cinema’s on the left.
M: Yes.
W: How far is it?
M: Oh, about ten minutes from here.

OK, so this place is in London. It’s in the north of London and most tourists
don’t know about it. It’s called Little Venice; Little Venice because it’s next to
the water – there’s water everywhere. There are lots of boats, houseboats –
people live in them. There are lots of good restaurants and cafés next to the
water. I like it because I can sit there, have a coffee and watch people on the
boats or by the water. Little Venice is a lovely place in the daytime or at night.
And it’s one of the best places to take photos. You can take a photo of the
houseboats or the water or the people. Some of the people are very
interesting. I think the best time to take a photo is in the early morning or in
the early evening because it’s really quiet and the light is beautiful.
