1. Jane: Hi, Mark. Are you excited about summer holiday?

Mark: Of course! I'm going to Italy this summer! I'm so excited to go somewhere I haven't been
before!
Jane: Wow, that's so cool! Have you been anywhere in Europe before?
Mark: Nope! Actually, I haven't been outside of the United States before!
Jane: Oh, well you'll have a great time, I'm sure! Have you found a hotel yet?
Mark: Yeah, my parents and I booked a hotel last week. We haven't planned any activities yet,
though. What about you? Are you going to travel?
Jane: Well, wait a minute? Do you know any Italian? Will you be able to talk to people there?
Mark: A little. I've studied Italian for a couple of weeks. So... what about you?
Jane: Mmm, this summer I think I'm going to stay put. I'm trying to save money.
Mark: Saving it for anything special?
Jane: For college, really. I've applied to three colleges, and all of them are so expensive! I've
been saving money for two years, but I need to save a lot more! I'm just going to stay here, work,
and relax at home.
Mark: Haha, ok! Well...I'll send you a postcard!
