Kate: Hello, I'm Kate Colin and today I'm joined by Jackie Dalton. Hi Jackie!Jackie: Hi Kate! Kate: Jackie, I believe you've just got back from holiday haven't you. How was it? Jackie: It was great thank you - I had a very relaxing time. I did lots of reading and some skiing. Kate: Sounds wonderful, but these days more and more of us are considering whether we can actually justify the cost of a holiday abroad and the idea of going absolutely nowhere is actually becoming quite appealing. A 'staycation' is a new phrase which is combination of the expressions 'stay' (at home)' and 'vacation'. Jackie: Well, yes I have heard of staycations, but to be honest I can't say it is something that really appeals to me because I like going on holiday to see other cultures, to listen to new languages and eat different food. Just to get away from my normal day to day life once in a while. I think that's what holidays are about. |
