JIМ AND MAGGIE DISCUSS THEIR SUMMER HOLIDAYS

 

Maggie: I've been thinking about the summer holidays, Jim. I should like to go ¹somewhere really interesting this year.

Jim: Aren't we ²going down to ³Eastbourne as usual?

Maggie: Jim! If you make me go there ⁴just once more, ⁵I'll walk out on you.

Jim: Have you any better ideas, then?

Maggie: I was passing Jane's travel agency this morning, so I collected some ⁶leaflets. If you're not too busy, perhaps we can have a look at them now.

Jim: ⁷I'll look at anything, but ⁸what about the money? Even if we don't have any special expenses this term, ⁹there won't be much left over for a holiday abroad.

Maggie: If only you were an engineer, Jim, instead of a teacher, we wouldn't always be worrying about money.

Jim: Ah, but if I weren't a schoolmaster, I wouldn't have ¹⁰such long holidays to go abroad in.

Maggie: But if you were an engineer, your firm might send you abroad.

Jim: And you would have to stay at home. You wouldn't like that at all.

Maggie: Well, no, I wouldn't. But look, here's an interesting one: two weeks in the Austrian Alps. ''Glorious mountain scenery and ¹¹every home comfort", ¹²it says.

Jim: But it always rains in the mountains in July, Maggie. And if it rains, the whole holiday will be spoilt.

Maggie: Here's a better one then: "Sunshine cruise round ¹³the Balearic Islands" only £ 55. If we saved a little harder we could just manage, couldn't we?

 

 

Nothing to do all day except lie in the sun and get a gorgeous tan

 

Jim: Well, if I took on an extra evening class, we might.

Maggie: And I could ask Mr. Smithers to give me some typing to take home. If we worked hard, we could earn quite enough ¹⁴between us, couldn't we?

Jim: Well, I suppose we could.

Maggie: Oh, how lovely, Jim! Nothing to do all day except lie in the sun and ¹⁵get a gorgeous tan. I must ring up Jane ¹⁶right away, and ask her ¹⁷to book it for us ¹⁸first thing tomorrow morning.

Jim: Mmm... Maggie, just a minute. I'm afraid you didn't look at the leaflet very carefully. "£55 ¹⁹special reduced off-season price" it says. I expect it'll be much more ²⁰at the height of the season.

Maggie: Oh, Jim. And I was so looking forward to our cruise! But ²¹suppose we saved really hard, perhaps we could just ...

Jim: No, we couldn't. It's not worth it.

Maggie: But I'm not going to Eastbourne, that's final.
