Conversation Holiday plans

Mary: Have you had your holiday for this year yet, Jane?

Jane: Not yet. I’m taking it at the end of September.

Mary: Where are you going? Have you made up your mind?

Jane: Not really. I thought of going to Spain again, but I’ve already been there twice and I’d like to try somewhere new.

Mary: My brother’s just gone to Mexico for two weeks. I had a card from him yesterday and he seems having a good time. Why don’t you go there?

Jane: That’s OK for you well-off people, but I couldn’t possibly afford it. I’m much too hard at the moment.

Mary: The air-fare is quite expensive, I admit, but you needn’t spend a lot when you get there.

Jane: I’ve spent a lot of money this year. My flat was done up last month, so I haven’t got much to spare for expensive holidays abroad.

Mary: Oh, I see.

Jane: Perhaps, I’ll just go to Scotland or Ireland in the end. I’ve heard they’re both beautiful, and I haven’t been to either of them.

Mary: We went to Ireland two years ago to pay Jill and her husband a visit. They are in Dublin now.

Jane: Oh, yes, so they are!

Mary: If you decide on Ireland, you can call in on them. Jill would willingly put you up for a few days, I’m sure.

Jane: That’s a good idea. I haven’t seen Jill for more than three years now and I’d like to know how she’s getting on.

Make up a conversation in which three friends argue about how they should travel to a distant city for a long weekend. One thinks it would be best to go by car, the second is for going be train, the third would prefer to go by coach.
