Youre an experienced traveler. What kind of transportation do

you prefer when traveling? / .
?
Traveling by plane is the safest and fastest way of transportation.
But taking a cruise has plenty of advantages, especially if youre
interested in full-service travel. /
. , .
What about the cost? / ?
The cost of flying continues to grow, and usually options like
snacks and Wi-Fi are not included in the price. Cruise prices, however,
include almost everything, except for alcohol and on-board casinos.
That means you wont have to pay for an additional pillow or portion
of fries. / , ,

. , .
The lack of personal space is another problem of flying. / .
Thats true. Having someone next to you who snores, smells or cries
the whole flight is a totally common thing, while on a cruise you can
spend your time walking around the ship or stretching out by the pool. /

Where was your last trip? / ?

On my last trip I went to Vietnam with my friends. /
.
How was it? / ?
It was great! We stayed in the city of Ho hi Minh for three days and
then we headed for the resort where we had booked a very nice hotel. /
! ,
, .
Was it a hotel chain? / ?
It was a local chain, I guess. We got a spacious room on the top floor
with a balcony facing the ocean. The room had a queen-sized bed, a
huge television on the wall and an iPad. Two days later they upgraded
us to a business suite for no extra charge. / , .
. ,
. .
Thats cool! Did you like the hotel food? / !
?
It was good, a bit too much of the local food though. / , ,
.
Did you have a problem with the local food in Vietnam? /
- ?
Well, the truth is it contains some ingredients and spices that I
just cant take. So, my breakfast was a couple of fried eggs. /

to get a two-dollar tip. On the whole, the staff was very friendly

What kind of hotels do you prefer when you travel? /

, ?
Id rather get a cheaper hotel and save money for restaurants and
shopping. Anyway I usually read a lot of reviews before I make a
booking. How about you? / .
, - . ?
Well, it makes sense. However, a certain level of cleanliness
is very important for me. Ive seen cockroaches and bedbugs in

cheap hotels. Stains and cigarette burns are disgusting. From my
experience, the higher end a hotel is, the cleaner it is. /
. . . . ,
, .
I have a friend who was bitten by bedbugs at a Five Seasons. High
end hotels usually charge too much for their service and the internet. I
personally never use amenities that a luxury hotel offers such as room
service and spa unless Im at a resort. I think the priority when selecting
a hotel should be safety, location and cleanliness. / .

Carol is a gorgeous woman. Shes tall and skinny. I remember her
saying that she worked as a model when she was a student. /

She must get a lot of attention from men. / ,

That is right. She once had a problem with her boss who was hitting
on her. She even had to change departments. / .

Beautiful and sexy women are usually not very smart. /

You cant say that about Carol. Shes a combination of cute and
intelligent. Her mind and sense of humor make her even more
attractive. / .

Why did you break up with Jim anyway? You seemed so good
together. / - ? .
He turned out to be a rude and cynical bastard. /

Why did you hook up with him in the first place? /

It started off as a beautiful love affair. He was so caring and
generous. He would give me a bunch of roses every other night. He
took me out to expensive restaurants and gave me presents. I fell
head-over-heels in love with him. But the whole thing changed when
we started to live together. / .

. , .
What happened? / ?
After three months his attitude started to change and he ended up
treating me like a worthless piece of junk. Oftentimes when he got back
from work he wasnt in the mood to talk to me and he would just ignore

me. Then sometimes he would turn into a control freak and go through
my phone and drive me crazy with his jealousy. /
