DIALOGUE 3
Read the dialogue and get ready to discuss it.
HOLIDAY AND ESCAPE
Molly: 1 wish people wouldn't go on about their holidays so much. All they talk about is where they went last year and where they are going next year.
Tom: Well, why shouldn't they?
M: Because they are living more and more in a dream world.
T: What do you mean?
M: Well, they are not really interested in their jobs so they spend all their time thinking about the two or three weeks they have off.
T: I still don't see what's wrong with that.
M: Well I do. People should live life as it is.
T: You are taking it a bit seriously, aren't you? Holidays are only relaxation.
M: But they could be so much more — education, culture, the chance to meet different people ... In spite of all our dashing around we don't know each other any better.
T: 1 suppose there is something in that, but you will never stop people using their holidays just to escape their troubles.
