A dialogue between Steve and Jane. Jane has just returned from her three week holiday in Canada.

Steve: Oh Jane, welcome back! How was Canada?

Jane: It was amazing. I had such a great time.

Steve: So tell me, what was it like?

Jane: It was like being in a different world.

Steve: Where did you go?

Jane: The first week I spent in Toronto. As you know Toronto is one of the largest cities in Canada. It is not the capital but it is as big as one. Well, I went sightseeing - I went up the CN Tower, I went to see a baseball match and of course, I went shopping. The second week I spent travelling around Ontario. I went to Niagara Falls….

Steve: You are so lucky! I have always wanted to go there.

Jane: As I expected, it was the most beautiful place I have ever visited. I stayed staring at the Falls for about 4 hours. It was amazing because I saw some Japanese people sleeping by the Falls; they told me that in Japan the Falls bring good luck.

Steve: That is crazy.

Jane: I know but everyone has their own beliefs. Other people were collecting the water from the waterfall and putting it in bottles to take home, because they believed the water had the ability to heal people. Anyway the third week, I crossed the boarder and went to the United States. There I visited my family in Chicago. I had never seen them before as they moved to Chicago 20 years ago.

Steve: What was Chicago like?

Jane: Really nice, but not as beautiful as the parts of Canada I visited.

Steve: What an adventurous holiday!

Jane: I know. So tell me, did you go anywhere?

Steve: No, unfortunately I had to stay here and work. Maybe next year I will go on an adventurous holiday.

Jane: Aahhh…. Hey Steve, I wouldn't worry if I were you, I have bought you a present.

Steve: What is it?

Jane: A map of Paris.

Steve: Why?

Jane: Because you and I are going next week. I have booked you a holiday!
