M = Man W = Woman

M: So, how do you usually travel? By plane or train?

W: Train. I think travelling by train’s more comfortable than flying. And I


don’t like flying.

M: I put ‘plane’ because flying is faster than going by train.

W: Not always! OK, next question. Where do you like to stay: in a hotel or
a self-catering apartment?

M: In an apartment. And you?

W: In a hotel.

M: Oh. But a hotel is more expensive than an apartment!

W: Yeah, but it’s more comfortable. Hmm …. next question. What do you
prefer to do: go sightseeing or relax on a beach?

M: Oh, that’s easy! I hate beach holidays! Boring!

W: OK – there’s one we answered the same. So we agree about that.

M: Yeah, sightseeing’s definitely more interesting!

W: Right. When do you like to go: in spring or summer?

M: In spring – I don’t really like hot weather. Tourist places are more
crowded in summer.

W: True. But the weather’s better. Summer is hotter than spring.


I love hot weather.

M: Well, we don’t agree there. Anyway, next question. What do you like to
eat: local dishes or the food you usually eat?

W: Local dishes, I think. You?

M: Definitely! That’s two answers the same!

W: Hmm, interesting. Next … what do you like to do in the evening? Go to


a club or go to a restaurant?

M: Well, go to a restaurant.

W: Oh, good. Me, too. It’s much quieter than a club.

M: Yes, I agree. Restaurants are quieter … more relaxing.

W: And the last question … how long is your perfect holiday?

M: Three months.

W: You can’t have three months! The answer is either a week or a month.

M: OK, a month then.

W: Me, too!

W: So we’ve got four answers the same!

M: Maybe we can travel together …

I = Interviewer P = Passenger

I: So Jeff. A few questions about the trip. What was the coldest place
you visited?

P: The coldest place was Mount Everest. We stayed at Everest base


camp and the temperature was minus thirty.

I: Really? And what was the hottest place?

P: Well, it was hot in Pakistan, but the Red Desert in Australia was hotter.

I: Ah, was it? And what was the friendliest place?

P: That’s an impossible question. I can’t say. We met so many fantastic


people. Everyone was wonderful.

I: OK. What was the longest you travelled in one day?

P: One day we travelled about 400 kilometres in Pakistan. That was a


long day!

I: Very! So, what was the most beautiful building you saw?

P: There were some great ones in Nepal and Bali, but my favourite
building was the Taj Mahal in India. I think it’s the most beautiful
building in the world.

I: Yes, it is. So, what was the most amazing experience of the journey?

P: Seeing a tiger in the tiger reserve in the Himalayas. A-ma-a-a-zing!

UNIT 7 Recording 10

M = Man W = Woman

M: We want to talk about Rimini, an old city on the Adriatic coast in Italy.
It’s got a beautiful beach and you can swim in the sea in the summer.
One of the most important places in Rimini is the cathedral, and also
the Arch of Augustus.

W: Ah, but for me the most important place is the beach.

M: Yes, for me, too. And at night, the bars on the beach. You can go
dancing – it’s really good fun …

W: And what about the food? Well, a typical food from Rimini is puntarelle
or pasta with fresh vegetables, but the fish is really amazing. The city is
by the sea so the fish is very fresh.

M: So, we think Rimini is a beautiful, relaxing place. You can sit on the
beach all day, eat great food and dance all night.
