Where is Joan’s family going to spend summer?

W:Charles, I want to ask if you know anything about hotels on the Costa Brava.
M:Why? No, I’m afraid I can’t be very much to help you there.
W:Well,it’s just that we’ve been thinking of taking the family to Spain this summer and at this rather late stage we’re trying to organize ourselves a suitable hotel.But I thought that you’d been to the Costa Brava.
M:It’s certainly a bit late. But have you looked at the ads?
W:Well, yes. As a matter of fact I was reading one ad only this morning in the Sunday paper which sounded marvelous.
M:For a hotel?
W:Yes. Just outside Barcelona.It is said that this hotel was right on the beach, and that’s essential as far as we’re concerned.
M:I know just what you mean.
W:And all the rooms have balconies facing the sea and overlooking the beach.
M:Expensive?
W:No. That was the remarkable thing about it. You know, even allowing for a bit of exaggeration in the ad, it seemed to have a lot to offer.
M:Which is unlikely with yours, from the sound of it?
W:Well, yes, but you can never tell, can you? And the food’s good.
M:Of course.The only way to find out for certain is to go and try it. And that’s taking rather a risk.
W:Yes, I agree with you.
