• Conversation-06. Jim and Maggie discuss their summer holidays

Maggie: I've been thinking about the summer holidays, Jim. I should like to go somewhere really interesting this year.
Jim: Aren't we going down to Eastbourne as usual?
Maggie: Jim! If you make me go there just once more, I'll walk out on you.
Jim: Have you any better ideas, then?
Maggie: I was passing Jane's travel agency this morning, so I collected some leaflets. If you're not too busy, perhaps we can have a look at them now.
Jim: I'll look at anything, but what about the money? Even if we don't have any special expenses this term, there won't be much left over for a holiday abroad.
Maggie: If only you were an engineer, Jim, instead of a teacher, we wouldn't always be worrying about money.
Jim: Ah, but if I weren't a schoolmaster, I wouldn't have such long holidays to go abroad in.
Maggie: But if you were an engineer, your firm might send уоu abroad.
Jim: And you would have to stay at home. You wouldn't like that at all.
Maggie: Well, no, I wouldn't. But look, here's an interesting one: two weeks in the Austrian Alps. 'Glorious mountain scenery and every home comfort', it says.
Jim: But it always rains in the mountains in July, Maggie. And if it rains, the whole holiday will be spoilt.
Maggie: Here's a better one then: 'Sunshine cruise round the Balearic Islands' only 55 pounds. If we saved a little harder we could just manage, couldn't we?
Jim: Well, if I took on an extra evening class, we might.
Maggie: And I could ask Mr. Smithers to give me some typing to take home. If we worked hard, we could earn quite enough between us, couldn't we?
Jim: Well, I suppose we could.
Maggie: Oh, how lovely, Jim! Nothing to do all day except lie in the sun and get a gorgeous tan. I must ring up Jane right away, and ask her to book it for us first thing tomorrow morning.
Jim: Maggie, just a minute. I'm afraid you didn't look at the leaflet very carefully. '55 pounds special reduced off-season price' it says. I expect it'll be much more at the height of the season.
Maggie: Oh, Jim. And I was so looking forward to our cruise! But suppose we saved really hard, perhaps we could just ...
Jim: No, we couldn't. It's not worth it.
Maggie: But I'm not going to Eastbourne, that's final.
