At the travel agency

A: Good afternoon, can I help you?

B: Good afternoon, sir. I would like a package holiday to the English speaking country next summer.

A: Oh, good! I'll book a hotel and arrange everything for you. The journey itself is delightful, especially when everything is ready for having rest and fun.

B: Ok, so what can you offer?

A: Well, what do you think of going to England for your holiday?

B: Oh, I have heard much about this country but I have never been to it. So, I think it will be great to visit it.

A: A very good choice! England is a marvelous country, especially in summer time. What exactly would you like to visit?

B: Well, I would like to spend some time in London and to make some excursions there. I think London is a beautiful city.

A: Oh, yes. You are absolutely right. London is a beautiful city. I can offer you an excursion around the city by bus. You will visit famous historical places and other sights of the city. A walk is included. If you wish you may visit National Gallery or Westminster Abbey. I'm sure you will like them.

B: Oh, that's very exciting indeed. After that I’d like to go to the sea-side to sunbathe and swim.

A: Well, I can offer you to go to Brighton, the most famous resort in England. It is famous for sandy beaches and comfortable rest-homes. There is even a tourist camp if you want to have a walking-tour, to sleep in a tent and to be in the open air.

B: Sounds great! Thank you for your information. I must think it over.
