B: Where shall we go for our holiday this year, Ted?
T: How about Majorca? It's cheap and good weather is guaran-
teed.
B: I'd rather do something more exciting this year. Have you seen
this ad for adventure holidays in Scotland?
T: I prefer lying on a beach to hang-gliding and canoeing.
B: But we do that every year. I'd prefer to do something different
this time. I'd rather not go anywhere so crowded.
T: Well, you have a point. Majorca was very crowded last time. I'd
prefer somewhere a little quieter too, but I don't fancy anything
too active.
B: How about Torquay? The weather's usually good and there
are some lovely walks around the coast.
T: Sounds OK to me. Would you prefer to stay in a hotel or rent a
cottage?
