1 Monica What are you taking with you? Tara Good question. I’ve got a new rucksack. It’s not that big and quite lightweight, but the guide told us not to bring too much, didn’t he? Monica Yeah. I’ve got some new walking boots, too. Tara Well, you’d better wear them in a bit before we go. You don’t want to

get blisters up on the mountain. Monica True, but they’re pretty comfortable. I think they’ll be all right.

2 Paul Did you bring a camera? Bill Of course I did. You can’t come on a trip like this without a camera. Paul Have you taken any pictures yet? Bill Yeah. I got those dolphins earlier. What I really want is a shot of a whale. Paul Well, I think we’ll probably see one eventually. Bill Fingers crossed!

3 Jack Right. We’re going to get the ferry across to France and then we’ll get the train to Italy. Betty That sounds like a good plan. I know a good hostel in Rome. We can go there first. Jack OK. I’d like to go to Athens too. Betty That’s fine. We can go anywhere in Europe with this ticket.

4 Eva Have you booked the course? Adam Yeah. Everything’s sorted out, including the flights and the hotel. Eva Can we hire equipment at the centre? Adam Yes, of course. But I’m going to take my own wetsuit. I’m sure I can squeeze it into my suitcase.

5 Debbie These places are fascinating, aren’t they? The streets are so narrow and they’re so busy. Richard Yeah. Look at that stall over there. Debbie Oh yeah, I like the look of those animal figures. Look at the elephant. What’s it made of? Richard It looks like ebony to me, but I’ll ask the stallholder. Debbie Check the price, too.
