| Mary | Have you had your holiday for this year yet, Jane? |
| Jane | Not yet. I'm taking it at the end of September. |
| Mary | Where are you going? Have you made up your mind? |
| Jane | Not really. I thought of going to Spain again, but I've already been there twice and I'd like to try somewhere new. |
| Mary | My brother's just gone to Mexico for two weeks. I had a card from him yesterday and he seems to be having a good time. Why don't you go there? |
| Jane | That's O.K. for you well-off people, but I couldn't possibly afford it. I'm much too hard up at the moment. |
| Mary | The air-fare is quite expensive, I admit, but you needn't spend a lot when you get there. |
| Jane | I've already spent a lot of money this year. My flat was done up last month, so I haven't got much to spare for expensive holidays abroad. |
| Mary | Oh, I see. |
| Jane | Perhaps I'll just go to Scotland or Ireland in the end. I've heard they're both very beautiful, and I haven't been to either of them. |
| Mary | We went to Ireland two years ago to pay Jill and her husband a visit. They're in Dublin now. |
| Jane | Oh, yes, so they are! |
| Mary | If you decide on Ireland you can call in on them. Jill would willingly put you up for a few days, I'm sure. |
| Jane | That's a good idea! I haven't seen Jill for more than three years now and I'd like to know how she's getting on. |
