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 needn1t 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.
