ESMAY Hi, Josh.
JOSH Hi, Esmay.
E I saw your wife in the supermarket the
other day. She told me all about your trip
to Australia. Oh, it sounded amazing!
J Yeah. It really was incredible - we loved
every minute. Particularly the Great
Barrier Reef. That was unbelievable!
E Yes, I can imagine.
J And what about you? Have you got any
holiday plans?
E Yes. I looked at that travel blog you told
me about - you know, the one about the
50 places to go before you die.
J Oh yeah.
E Yes, and my husband, Ronnie, and I are
going to New Zealand.
J Really?
E Yeah. We booked it last month.
J Great. How long are you going for?
E Three weeks. We both really need a
holiday. And it's summer over there, of
course. It'll be nice to see the sun again!
Oh, I can't wait.

J So when are you going?
E We're leaving on Saturday. We have to get
up at 4.30 because we're getting the six
o'clock train to the airport.
J That's early.
E We don't mind. We're really excited.
J And where are you staying?
E We're staying with friends of Ronnie's
for the first two weeks - they live in
Wellington on the North Island. Then
we're travelling to the South Island -
we're going on a cycling tour for a week.
J Wow, that sounds like hard work!
E Well, it's not all cycling. Sometimes we're
driving to places in a tour bus and then
cycling when we get there. And what
about you? Are you having a holiday this
winter?
J No, we aren't going anywhere. The trip to
Australia was very expensive so we aren't
going skiing this year. But my wife's
already planning next summer's holiday.
Apparently, we're going to Mexico.
E Oh, nice!

RONNIE OK. I'm nearly ready, I think.
ESMAY Wow, that was quick.
R Well, we don't need many clothes. It's
summer over there, remember.
E Are you taking any sun cream?
R No, I'm not. We can get some in New
Zealand. I suppose you're taking lots of
pairs of shoes.
E Yes. And these sandals. Is that a problem?
R Well, only because I'll probably have to
carry them.
E No, you won't. I can carry my own
suitcase.
R Oh, yeah. I've heard that one before.
What else are you taking?
E Well, I'm taking my swimming costume,
of course, and a few books. I like reading
when I'm on holiday.
R Books are heavy. How many are you
taking?
E Oh, not many. Er, Ronnie? Have you got
any room in your suitcase?
R Why?
E There are a few things I can't get in mine.
Can I put them in yours?
R Such as?
E Um, let's see. My sun hat?
R OK.
E My walking boots?
R Right.
E And a few T-shirts .
R Yes, OK.
E Oh, and I'm definitely taking lots of
insect repellent this time. Insects love me!
R But not as much as I do.
E Ah ... sweet. Oh yes, and a packet of tea.
R Tea!?
E Well, I can't live without tea. And you
can't get good tea outside the UK.
R OK. Where are all these things, anyway?
E There, on the chair.
R What? All that?
E Well, um, I can wear my sun hat, I
suppose.
R Oh, that makes a big difference! And
what's in that bag?
E Oh, just some make-up.
R Do you need all that?
E Well, you know what I look like without
any make-up.
R True. You should definitely take the
make-up.
E Hey!

RECEPTIONIST Good morning, sir. Can I
help you?
MR LANE Good morning. I'm sorry, but I've
got a bit of a problem. The remote control
in my room doesn't work, so I have to
walk over to the TV every time I want to
change channels. I wonder if you could
ask someone to fix it.
