M: Hi, Jane. How is everything going?
W: So far so good. I’ve just finished my last exam.
M: Good, the term is coming to an end. (12) Do you think we should take a holiday overseas to relax and have fun? (13) I’ve saved my tips for my waiter job these past few months and I should have enough by July.
W: Yes, that’s a wonderful idea. (14) I’ve got a little put-aside for a rainy day, but I might need to earn a little more before we go. By the way, what’s it like working in a restaurant?
M: Well, it’s really tough, as working a ten-hour shift is like hell. I am not sure if it’ll suit you, but it’s pretty cool if your bosses are right. Do you think we should invite some others to come along? W: Yes. We could ask Tom and Tracy if they are interested. I haven’t been abroad for a long while. And it would be great to go somewhere by the sea. I can’t wait. (15) And, if Tom goes, we could go sailing. He has a lot of experience with boats. And it’ll work out a lot cheaper to hire one if there’s more of us to share the cost.
M: So, that’s a plan. We will save as much as we can and go sailing next July. Let’s say Spain, or anywhere cheap we’ll find.
W: OK. But, first we’d better contact Tom and Tracy and see if they are up for it. If not, it will be better to join board.
