NEL 2 – UNIT 14: – I WANT TO GO SOME PLACE DIFFERENT
Mr. Evans: So Mrs. Beatty, you’re looking for an exciting place for your next vacation?
Mrs. Beatty: I usually travel to major cities in Europe, but this time I want to go some place different, some place away from the city as long as it’s safe.
Mr. Evans: Let’s see. Ah, how about California? The Big Sur area is spectacular.
Mrs. Beatty: California has lots of earthquakes, doesn’t it?
Mr. Evans: Well, they have earthquakes occasionally but not very often.
Mrs. Beatty: But it does have earthquakes.
Mr. Evans: Yes.
Mrs. Beatty: I’m not going.
Mr. Evans: Ok. How about some place in Asia? A beach in Thailand. Ko Chang has beautiful beaches, and it’s very quiet there.
Mrs. Beatty: A quiet beach sounds nice. But they said on the news there’s a monsoon in Thailand.
Mr. Evans: But the monsoon will be over by the time you go.
Mrs. Beatty: What else can you recommend?
Mr. Evans: Australia. The Australian outback is amazing.
Mrs. Beatty: I’ve heard they have tornadoes in Australia.
Mr. Evans: Some parts.
Mrs. Beatty: Where else?
Mr. Evans: Jamaica?
Mrs. Beatty: Hurricanes.
Mr. Evans: South Africa?
Mrs. Beatty: Floods.
Mr. Evans: Hawaii?
Mrs. Beatty: Landslides.
Mr. Evans: You know a lot about natural disasters, don’t you Mrs. Beatty? Let’s see. What about Finland?
Mrs. Beatty: Finland?
Mr. Evans: It’s wild, beautiful, and very different from other parts of Europe, and nothing bad ever happens in Finland.
Mrs. Beatty: Finland sounds good. I’ll go to Finland.
Mr. Evans: Great! I’ll book your tickets.

Mr. Evans: Okay. I just booked your tickets to Helsinki, Finland. You’ll be staying at the Palace Hotel.
Mrs. Beatty: That’s great!

Mr. Evans: Yes, Marie.
Marie: Mr. Woods is on the phone. He told me to tell you it’s urgent.
Mr. Evans: Urgent?
Marie: He’s traveling, you know?
Mr. Evans: Yes.
Marie: He said there’s some kind of epidemic.
Mr. Evans: What kind of epidemic?
Marie: It sounds like it’s that new influenza.
Mr. Evans: But he was vaccinated for that before he left.
Marie: I know. But he told me to tell you that he wants to fly home today.
Mr. Evans: On the internet it says only three people are sick. That is not an epidemic. And it’s not like anybody’s dying from this flu.
Marie: He said he didn’t want to be the first.
Mrs. Beatty: Where’s he traveling may I ask?
Marie: He’s in Finland.
Mrs. Beatty: Finland?! I just booked tickets to Finland!
Mr. Evans: Mrs. Beatty, everything will be fine. You’ll get vaccinated, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
Mrs. Beatty: I’m not going to Finland! You told me nothing bad ever happens in Finland.
Mr. Evans: Mrs. Beatty, I can’t think of anywhere in the world you can go and be completely safe. Right here in this city you can go outside and get hit by a bus, but you can’t let that stop you from doing the things you want to do. Look, why don’t we go to lunch, and we’ll talk it over.
Marie: I don’t think she’s going anywhere.
