Lisa thinks you can enjoy a holiday without spending a lot. Ben thinks the weather in Scotland will be fine.

Girl: Hi, Ben! Only one more week at college, and then the summer holidays begin. Great, isn’t it!
Boy: I don’t know. It might get a bit boring. I don’t think I’ve got enough money to go anywhere nice for a holiday this year.
Girl: It would be nice to have lots of money to spend but a good holiday doesn’t have to be expensive!
Boy:  Oh yes it does! The best holiday I ever had was a few years ago when I went to Greece. I want to fly off somewhere hot, and lie on the beach and go swimming.
Girl: Yes, well, I can’t afford to do that, either.
Boy: So what are you doing this summer?
Girl: I’m going on a walking holiday in Scotland with some friends. We went last year, and we really enjoyed it. We walked all day and spent the nights in Youth Hostels. Why don’t you come with us? We’re going for two weeks. It won’t cost much, and you’ll come home feeling really relaxed and fit.
Boy: I’m not sure. Walking all day sounds like hard work to me. And surely you’re not hoping for lots of sunshine in Scotland?
Girl: It did rain a bit last year, but most of the time it was sunny. Anyway, it’s not good walking in the heat. You have to stop all the time to rest and have drinks.
Boy: Well, I like the sun, and I like to stay in comfortable hotels, not Youth Hostels!
Girl: But they are comfortable. They’re basic, and the food’s often not very good, but they’re very clean and cheap. In fact I prefer them to hotels because the people are always so friendly.
Boy: Maybe. Look Lisa, thanks a lot for asking me, but I think I’ll just stay home and get bored!
