Lesson 1: GETTING STARTED
1. Listen and read:
Nick: Hi, Chau. How are things?
Chau: Good. Have you made up your mind about where to go on holiday?
Nick: Well, I’ve narrowed it down to two countries – my first choice is France and my second is Japan. What do you think?
Chau: Well, France is one of the largest countries in Europe. Since we’ve got a four-week summer holiday, you could go on a cycling tour of the country or go on a package tour.
Nick: No, I’m not into package tours. I’d like to visit the Alps, and climb Mont Blanc - the highest mountain in Western Europe. I’d also love to explore Paris, and go sightseeing in the historic city of Versailles.
Chau: Sounds exciting! I think it’s quite warm there, much warmer than in Britain. I can just picture you, tanned and relaxed, tasting delicious local specialties like frogs’ legs and snails!
Nick: Ha ha! That’s not really my cup of tea. Perhaps I should go to Japan and stay at a seaside resort, eating sushi and sashimi every day! Anyhow, Japan is only my second choice.
Chau: Right. So what do your parents think about your plans?
Nick: Oh, they’re cool. I’m glad that they let me make my own decisions.
Chau: Lucky you. Whatever you decide, you’ll have a good time.
Nick: So what about you? Planning anything?
Chau: Well, my family … (fades out)
