The speakers are both pleased to be home after their journey. [originaltext]M: P

M: Phew! Home at last! That journey seemed to last forever. l’m glad to be back, aren’t you?
W: Not really. I’ m sorry our holiday ’s over. I’ll miss the beach. We had a great time, didn’t we?
M: Mmm…it was okay. The weather wasn’t as good as I’ d hoped. I thought the forecast was for bright sunshine the whole week!
W: Well, most of the week was like that. We only had a little bit of rain, didn’t we? And they did mention that on the forecast.
M: Yes, the day after it rained! Anyway, the food in the hotel was delicious, wasn’t it?
W: It was, yeah…
M: And it was good to be able to help ourselves to what we wanted.
W: Mmm… it saved delays, and it meant we could get out quickly in the mornings, too. The waiters were very helpful, I must say.
M: Mmm…that was good.
W: The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the temperature in the room. It was so hot!
M: It certainly was. It didn’t help when we opened the windows, either. It didn’t cool it down at all, did it?
W: No. Still, it was just the same when we went to the other hotel last year, so I wasn’t surprised. I don’t know why the air conditioning didn’t work, though.
M: Well, that wasn’t the only thing that wasn’t working properly. One of the machines in the gym was broken too. But I suppose it was a very busy time, so the staff were probably just too busy to check it properly. These things happen, don’t they? It didn’t matter to me!
W: Right.
M: So what should we do for our next holiday then? We could go somewhere completely different.
W: I’m not sure. I was hoping we could go to the coast again, but with all the work I’ ve got at the moment, we’ll have to wait and see.
M: Okay.
