A2 (Elementary) level conversations: (7) Planning a Trip
Oliver: Hi Emma! How are you doing?
Emma: Hey Oliver! I’m good, thanks. How about you?
Oliver: Not bad. I was thinking, have you ever thought about planning a trip somewhere?
Emma: Oh, that sounds exciting! I haven’t planned a trip in a while. Where were you thinking of going?
Oliver: I was thinking about a weekend getaway to the mountains. A cozy cabin, fresh air, and some hiking trails.
Emma: That sounds lovely! I enjoy nature trips. When were you thinking of going?
Oliver: Maybe next month? It depends on our schedules. Do you have any preferences for the type of trip?
Emma: Not really. I’m up for anything. A mountain retreat sounds perfect. Do you usually plan your trips well in advance?
Oliver: I try to, especially if it involves accommodation bookings. It helps in getting good deals. How about you?
Emma: I’m more spontaneous, but planning ahead has its perks. Are you into outdoor activities like hiking?
Oliver: Absolutely! Hiking and maybe some photography. The mountain views can be breathtaking. What about you?
Emma: Hiking is fun! I also enjoy just sitting and taking in the scenery. Do you plan the activities ahead of time?
Oliver: Yes, a rough itinerary helps, but I’m flexible. Sometimes the best moments happen spontaneously. How do you usually travel?
Emma: I like a mix of transportation. For shorter trips, I prefer driving, but for longer ones, flying is more convenient. What about you?
Oliver: I enjoy road trips too, but for distant places, flying is quicker. Do you have any must-haves when you travel?
Emma: Comfortable shoes and a good book are a must for me. How about you?
Oliver: A camera to capture memories and a travel journal. I like documenting the journey. Any favorite travel destinations you’ve been to?
Emma: I loved a trip to the beach last year. The gentle rhythm of the waves has such a soothing effect. How about you?
Oliver: I had an amazing trip to the city. The energy and diverse experiences were unforgettable. Well, Emma, it was great chatting about planning a trip!
Emma: You too, Oliver! Let’s finalize the details and make this mountain getaway happen.
Oliver: Absolutely! I’ll check the dates and get back to you. Can’t wait!
