Dialogue Transcript:
Emma: Hey, Luke! Have you thought about where we should go for
our holiday this year?
Luke: Hi, Emma! I have, actually. I’m torn between a beach vacation
and a city break. What’s your preference?
Emma: I was leaning towards a beach holiday. Imagine relaxing by
the sea, sunbathing, and just unwinding.
Luke: That does sound tempting. I love the idea of a laid-back
vacation. But a part of me also craves the buzz of a city – exploring
museums, trying new foods, and experiencing the nightlife.
Emma: I get that. How about we find a place that offers both? Maybe
a coastal city?
Luke: That’s a great compromise. We could spend some days
lounging on the beach and others exploring the city. Have you got
any destinations in mind?
Emma: What about Barcelona? It has beautiful beaches and a vibrant
city life.
Luke: Barcelona sounds perfect. I’ve always wanted to see the
Sagrada Familia and try authentic Spanish cuisine.
Pre-Listening _- Teacher takes out first four lines from the script
which makes perfect sense and does a quick practice with the
