Talking about Visits
Situation: Lucy and Andrew are talking about their end of year holiday.
Lucy: Where did you go on holiday?
Andrew: I went to Beijing with my parents.
Lucy: How was it? Did you have a good time?
Andrew: It was wonderful. Beijing is a great city with many historical landmarks.
Lucy: What did you see there?
Andrew: We saw the Great Wall and other interesting places such as old palaces, as well as pandas. They were really interesting!
Lucy: I have been to Beijing once to attend a conference, but I didn't have time to travel around.
Andrew: Too bad. You could have stayed longer. It's not difficult to find cheap hotels in Beijing.
Lucy: Really? Where did you stay, anyway?
Andrew: We stay at the Orange Hotel near the Palace Museum.
Lucy: Was it good?
Andrew: Yes, it was a great budget hotel. The room was clean and it offered free drinks, fruit and snacks every day. How about your holiday?
Lucy: I didn't go out because I took a charity job as volunteer tutor.
Andrew: Oh, that's good. I may want to try that on my next holiday
