M: So, how do you usually travel? By plane or train?

W: Er … train. I think traveling by train is more comfortable than flying. And I don’t like flying.

M: I put “plane” because flying is faster than going by train.

W: Not always! OK, next question. Where do you like to stay: in a hotel or a self-catering apartment? M: In an apartment. And you? W: Hmm, in a hotel.

M: Oh. But a hotel is more expensive than an apartment!

W: Yeah, but it’s more comfortable. Hmm … next question. What do you prefer to do:

go sightseeing or relax on a beach?

M: Oh, that’s easy! I hate beach holidays! Boring!

W: OK – there’s one we answered the same. So we agree about that. M: Yeah, sightseeing’s definitely more interesting! W: Right. When do you like to go: in spring or summer?

M: Er … in spring – I don’t really like hot weather. Tourist places are more crowded in summer.

W: True. But the weather’s better. Summer is hotter than spring. I love hot weather. M: Well, we don’t agree there. Anyway, next question. What do you like to eat: local dishes or the food you usually eat? W: Local dishes, I think. You?

M: Definitely! That’s two answers the same!

W: Hmm, interesting. Next … what do you like to do in the evening? Go to a club or go to a restaurant? M: Well, go to a restaurant.

W: Oh, good. Me, too. It’s much quieter than a club.

M: Yes, I agree. Restaurants are quieter … hmm, more relaxing. W: And the last question … how long is your perfect holiday? M: Er, three months.

W: You can’t have three months! The answer is either a week or a month. M: OK, a month then. W: Me, too!
