M:Oh, how about theseaside? That’s a really good place for a holiday.
W:Sounds good.
M:There are two hotelsI can recommend while you are on your trip. They are both brand new and areusually fully booked. So you’d better call them in advance.
W:I see…so what arethey like?
M:Well, one is calledthe Hotel Bay View. It’s on the coast. So, it is very quiet and peacefulwithout noise or pollution. And the rooms are of standard size and they allhave a nice little balcony, where you can overlook the ocean.
W:That’s great! I needto have a tranquil period to relax. How about the other?
M:The other is a citycenter hotel. Of course, there are no views of the sea and it tends to be a bitnoisy and busy. But it is very convenient for you to go anywhere from thehotel.
W:Er, it’s useless forme. I don’t want to go shopping or do anything like that. What about the price?
M:Well, the CentralHotel is quite a bit more expensive.
W:I know, thanks foryour suggestion.
