holiday?
Peter: It’s fantastic. I’m having a wonderful time! I’m
staying with my friends at a guest house – it’s close to the
activity centre and it’s cheaper than a hotel. It’s
comfortable, but the food’s not very good! But the staff
are very friendly!
Susan: And what about the activities?
Peter: Every morning, we get up early and we usually go
to the centre. John and Steven are there now. They’re
swimming. And Martin’s in the kitchen, having fun, cooking
with the chef, they’re preparing a picnic because we’re
going hiking later. At the moment I’m resting because I’m
exhausted.
Susan: Why are you so tired?
Peter: There are so many activities and I’m doing lots of
them, I’m sleeping ten hours a night but the activities are
hard work and I’m not really fit! I’m sailing, I’m canoeing
…
Susan: So the centre is close to the sea?
Peter: It’s not close to the sea, but there’s a lake nearby,
where we go sailing and canoeing, and there’s a big river
about twenty kilometres away where we go white water
rafting.
Susan: White water rafting! Are you going white water
rafting?
Peter: Well, we’ve been once. It’s scary, but we enjoyed
it. We’re going again tomorrow.
Susan: And what other things are there?
Peter: There’s cycling too, but we’re not going cycling; we
like it, but we can do it at home. But there’s mountain
climbing and we definitely want to do that.
Susan: Isn’t that dangerous?
Peter: Yes, but the guides look after us really well. And
what are you doing, Susan?
Susan: I’m studying as usual, and this afternoon I’m going
shopping with Mary and Patricia.
