Mrs. Hanson:

Hello! Is this you, Helen?

Mrs. Below:

Yes, good morning! How are you Jane?

Mrs. Hanson:

Thank you. Pretty good. I’m phoning to invite you and your husband for a boat trip up the River Thames.

Mrs. Below:

When are you going on this trip?

Mrs. Hanson:

Today.

Mrs. Below:

I’m sorry, my husband won’t go. He is flying to Paris on business tonight. He is very busy now. He works very hard. Sometimes he works twelve hours a day.

Mrs. Hanson:

Doesn’t he get a holiday?

Mrs. Below:

He’ll take his holiday only next month.

Mrs. Hanson:

How long is his holiday?

Mrs. Below:

He usually takes a two week holiday, but this year he’s going to take an extra week.

Mrs. Hanson:

Where are you going to spend the three weeks holiday?

Mrs. Below:

We’ll probably spend two weeks in the mountains and the third week at the seaside. The mountain air is very good for the kids and the sea air will do us good.

Mrs. Hanson:

I hope you will have a good time. Now how about coming on a boat trip with us this morning? Take the children with you. You know my husband loves children, and he’ll be glad to have them with us.

Mrs Below:

That’s very kind of you, Jane.
