Everyday English Dialogues: Travel, Dining & Study
Prueba 1 — Travel and Shopping Dialogues
- Emily: I need a new bag for the trip. Which one do you think is nice?
- Laura: Well, the small one, because the big one is heavier.
- Emily: Yes, but which bag do you prefer?
- Laura: The small one is more expensive.
- Emily: Hmmm. I think the big one is more beautiful than the small one.
- Laura: Yeah, you are right, but it’s not very practical for a trip.
- Emily: How much are they?
- Salesperson: Well, they are $239.99.
- Emily: Well, that’s a little expensive. How about $220?
- Emily: You know what, Laura? We’re going to Machu Picchu and I need sneakers, but I’m not sure.
- Laura: In my opinion, those trekking sneakers are not comfortable enough for that trip. Let’s see in another store!
- Laura: I want to visit Cusco. I read it has ruins of the oldest civilizations in Peru. It is amazing.
- Emily: Great! And what about the weather?
- Laura: Well, I’ve heard September is the best time to visit.
- Emily: I’d like to take the Peru Rail. Do you know anything about it?
- Laura: Sure! It would be great because it takes the most beautiful route to get to Machu Picchu.
- Emily: I’d like to visit the ruins in Cusco. Should we visit them, please?
- Laura: Of course, we shouldn’t miss them! I read they are fascinating.
- Laura: And we can take alpaca expeditions there too.
- Emily: That’s interesting! I also read that visitors can’t enter Machu Picchu National Park at night. We can visit it only from 6:00 to 16:00.
- Emily: Last year you went to Brazil, right? Who did you go with? I can’t remember!
- Emily: Oh, you’re right. And did you have fun there?
- Laura: Sure — we went dancing and scuba diving.
- Emily: And where did you go after Rio?

- Emily: How long were you there?
- Laura: We were there for 10 days.
- Emily: Where were you born, Laura?
- Laura: I was born on July 10, 1984.
- Emily: And was Antony born there, too?
- Laura: No, he was born in Chañaral.
- Laura: Tell me more about your boyfriend.
- Laura: Well, Antony made a difference in my life because he is very shy.
- Emily: And do you admire him?
- Laura: Yes, I do. I think he is very brave.
- Emily: How would you describe him?
- Laura: Well, Antony is a very talented and honest man.
- Tom: Also, my grandmother is really inspiring because in 1995 she started a foundation to help people.
- Patrick: So your grandmother started to work with poor people twenty-two years ago?
- Tom: My grandmother thinks that she started helping poor people because she was determined.
- Patrick: Ah, so your grandmother tried to do everything possible to start the foundation.
- Tom: And she was resourceful because she found a way to save money for poor people.
- Patrick: Ahh! That’s great, so she was very good at raising money.
- Patrick: I suppose that she was caring too.
- Tom: Yes, she was really nice to other people.
