NEL 2 – UNIT 19.1 – WE WEREN’T GOING TO TELL THIS, BUT…
Cheryl: Everyone, we’d like to ask your opinion about something.
Mr. Evans: What is that?
Cheryl: We’re trying to decide where to go on vacation after the wedding for our honeymoon.
Bob: We thought you might be able to help us decide on a location.
Mr. Evans: An excellent idea. Where are you thinking of going?
Cheryl: Well, Bob doesn’t really like to travel, so he’s agreed to go wherever I want to go as long as the hotel has nice bathrooms and a TV.
Mr. Evans: That sounds fair. What’s your first choice?
Cheryl: I’ve always wanted to go to Cozumel off the Yucatan Peninsula.
Paul: Cozumel is spectacular. The island itself is pretty flat, but the beaches are beautiful and the ocean is so blue.
Marie: Aren’t there too many sharks to go swimming there?
Paul: No, very safe! Oh, but it’s somewhat overrated.
Bob: You just said….
Mr. Evans: What else are you thinking of?
Cheryl: What about Tierra del Fuego in the south of Argentina and Chile?
Paul: The scenery is extraordinary. The mountain ranges and national parks are breathtaking.
Marie: But in June, won’t it be too dark to do very much?
Paul: No, plenty of people go there in June to go skiing or …. But of course it’s probably not romantic enough for a honeymoon.
Cheryl: I’ve heard the jungles and rainforests in Malaysia are a must-see.
Paul: They’re so lush. Of course, some people feel that the scorpions make it too dangerous to hike.
Bob: We could go to that hotel on Grant Street along the river.
Cheryl: Stay in town? For our honeymoon?
Bob: Well, I heard the rooms have really nice bathrooms and… big televisions.
