A Holiday in Italy
(two friends looking at pictures of a holiday)
Tim: Alan, do you want to see the pictures of my holiday in Italy?
Alan: Sure, what was it like?
Tim: Ah, the holiday was great! The food was great! The wine was great! The traffic was horrible!
Alan: Why was the traffic horrible?
Tim: Those Italians are crazy drivers! I don't want to think about it!
Alan: OK, OK, let's return to the good parts...
Tim: Yes, so here's a picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Alan: Incredible!
Tim: It was raining that day, but it was still wonderful. We climbed to the top!
Alan: And what's this?
Tim: That's a photo of the Arno river, in Florence. That's the 'Ponte Vecchio', the old bridge.
Alan: What was Florence like?
Tim: It was very interesting. There were beautiful old medieval buildings in the city, impressive cathedrals and churches, and lots of wonderful museums.
Alan: How was your Italian?
Tim: My Italian wasn't very good. But many Italians speak English very well. I was impressed!
Alan: Oh, this one is nice.
Tim: Yes, that's a shot of a beautiful pizza served by a beautiful Italian!
Alan: She is beautiful, isn't she?
Tim: Ah, yes, the land of fashion, food and wine. I'd recommend Italy anytime!
Alan: I'm so jealous...
