Exercise 7: In pairs translate the dialogue into Hebrew row by row, each
translating his or her part. Then act out the dialogue in front of your classmates.

Yair Shira, Where do you like to live In an apartment
Shira or in a hotel?
Yair
Shira My parents like to live in an apartment, but I like
living in a hotel.
Yair
Shira Why?

Yair In apartments there is usually a shower stall, and
in a hotel there’s a big big bathtub. You can fill
Shira
Yair the bathtub with foam and play. In apartments,
Shira there is usually one small balcony. In a hotel
Yair there’s a big balcony in every room and you can
see the view from there. In an apartment, it’s
boring and there aren’t any friends. In a hotel, you

can go down to the lobby and find friends. And do
you know what the best thing in a hotel is?

What?
“Why don’t you tidy up your room?” I feel that
I’m not on vacation, because all day I need to tidy
up. In a hotel I don’t need to tidy up my room.
When we rent an apartment, my mom says to me
all day long: “Why don’t you tidy up your room?”
I feel that I’m not on vacation, because all day I

need to tidy up.

Oh, that sounds exactly like my mom. When
we’re on vacation as well she tidies and tidies all
day: Tidies the kitchen, the living room, the
dining area [corner]. I don’t understand it: You
can tidy at home, too. Vacation is for having fun.
When I’ll be big, I’ll never tell my children to tidy
their room.

But maybe your husband will tell them to tidy up?
I don’t think so. I want to get married to a
husband that likes a mess.
That’s an excellent idea.
