M: So, how do you usually travel? By plane or train?
W: Er … train. I think traveling by train is more comfortable than flying. And I don’t like flying.
M: I put “plane” because flying is faster than going by train.
W: Not always! OK, next question. Where do you like to stay: in a hotel or a self-catering apartment?
M: In an apartment. And you?
W: Hmm, in a hotel.
M: Oh. But a hotel is more expensive than an apartment!
W: Yeah, but it’s more comfortable. Hmm … next question. What do you prefer to do: go sightseeing or relax on a beach?
M: Oh, that’s easy! I hate beach holidays! Boring!
W: OK – there’s one we answered the same. So we agree about that.
M: Yeah, sightseeing’s definitely more interesting!
W: Right. When do you like to go: in spring or summer?
M: Er … in spring – I don’t really like hot weather. Tourist places are more crowded in summer.
W: True. But the weather’s better. Summer is hotter than spring. I love hot weather.
M: Well, we don’t agree there. Anyway, next question. What do you like to eat: local dishes or the food you usually eat?
W: Local dishes, I think. You?
M: Definitely! That’s two answers the same!
W: Hmm, interesting. Next … what do you like to do in the evening? Go to a club or go to a restaurant?
M: Well, go to a restaurant.
W: Oh, good. Me, too. It’s much quieter than a club.
M: Yes, I agree. Restaurants are quieter … hmm, more relaxing.
W: And the last question … how long is your perfect holiday?
M: Er, three months.
W: You can’t have three months! The answer is either a week or a month.
M: OK, a month then.
W: Me, too!
M: So we’ve got four answers the same!
W: Maybe we can travel together …
