19. You want to travel with you friend. Discuss means of transport, place and time of your future travel.

• Hello, Natalie! How are you?

• Hello, Svetlana! I’m fine, thanks. And you?

• I’m fine too. Summer is time to start thinking about your holiday.

• I will plan to marvel at the most breathtaking scenery I've ever seen.

• Do you want a get-away-from-it-all holiday in that little place I found last year?

• Of course! This is a place in Spain, isn’t it?

• Yes! Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and crowded beaches. It's a spectacular and diverse country.

• You told that excellent and quiet beaches can be found near that place and harbor with cozy bars.

• Can you tell me about local attractions of the place?

• Madrid is home to Spain’s top three art museums. There is some incredible, unique accommodation in this place and it is really worth taking a look at. You will no longer simply be visiting the architectural gems, but staying inside them!

• I hope I will have a comfortable journey.

• You may be sure! It is really the best way to experience this enchanting location.

• Nowadays tourism has become a highly organized business. There are express trains, luxurious cruisers, cars and jet air-liners, all of which provide you with comfort and security. You just make a choice.

• An important issue for us is the safety and comfort of our means of traveling. I think we had better travel by plane.

• I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon.

• Anyway, one can find both advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.

• The most important advantage is that is the fastest means of transport when referring to large distances.

• We can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. Usually I can't even figure out how time has passed and it has arrived at the destination.

• We do not have to wait for three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach, feel pain in our legs and be tired.

• Anyhow the comfort will help us forget about the possibility of some technical problems and of an undeserved crush.

• Some people don't choose to travel by plane because they have air sickness and they prefer other means of transport for long distances. Do you have air sickness?

• No. It's no problem for me.

• Just feel comfortable and everything will be all right.

• We should think about medical insurance. We’ll have a perfect opportunity to save money and receive additional benefits.

• Yes you are right. What about shopping in Spain?

• It offers an interesting perspective of a country’s culture. In Spain this is particularly true if you want to explore the food markets, vintage antique stores and flea markets.

• Perfectly! I also have a huge interest in cuisine.

• Spain's culinary traditions rely on abundance of locally grown vegetables and fruits as well as meats and poultry.

• I know that every region has its own distinct cuisine and specialties.

• Spanish people are very open-hearted and communicative. You won't have any problems to get to know something.

• I’ll check internet tonight and save all best offers so we can choose one tomorrow.

• Great. I hope our trip will be the best. I’m going to go home and get prepared for it.

• Don’t forget your documents. Bye. See you tomorrow.

• See you.
