Lesson 3 .1

Susie, Dan and Cosmin are chatting in a pub.

Susie: So what sort of weather do you have in Romania, Cosmin?

Cosmin: Well, let's see. The books say we have four seasons: spring, summer, autumn,and winter. In fact, people say they can hardly distinguish spring and autumn.

Dan: What do you mean?

Cosmin: In April, it can be as warm as in June, or as cold as in January.You see, in thepast we had snow from December through February. March, April and May weregenerally warm and windy. June, July and August were hot. September and Octoberwere still warm, often sunny, and occasionally rainy. November was quite cold andrainy. People knew how to plan their holidays. These days, it's a matter of luck.

Susie: I remember hearing about the floods on the news. Last summer, right? Poorpeople! They were left with nothing.

Dan: So if I go to Romania, when should I go? I prefer the mountains to the plains.

Cosmin: Do you mean you like hiking?

Dan: That, too. But I'd love to learn to ski.

Susie: And if want to see the monasteries in Northern Moldavia, what's the rightmonth for me?

What places would you visit if you could?How did you learn about them?

Travel Agent:Fun Holidays. Alicia Gibbson speaking. How can I help you?Susie:Hello, my name is Susie Smith. I would like some information about

package holidays to Romania in May or June. I am especially interested in the

monasteries in Northern Moldavia. Have you got anything to offer?

Travel Agent: Yes, madam. I have good news for you. We have quite a few

packages in Romania. It's becoming a popular place with our customers.

Susie: Really? That's interesting. I never met anyone who's been there on holiday.

Travel Agent: Well, madam, I can offer you an excellent package that includes

trips to the Northern Moldavian monasteries, and the famous medieval towns,

and the Prahova Valley, if you know what I mean.

Susie: I don't know about the Prahova Valley. What's there to see?

Travel Agent: The scenery is breathtaking. The Carpathians offer an exquisite

view. In addition, in May or June there's lovely weather for holidaymakers who

are not interested in skiing. The place is very well equipped for hiking at over

6,000 feet. Up there you feel on top of the world. In Sinaia you can visit the royal

castles, Peles and Pelisor. And there are a few excellent hotels and restaurants

that serve delicious local food. Believe me, there are few places in Romania that

are as well equipped for tourism as Sinaia.

Susie: It sounds exciting. I'm interested. How many days does the trip take?

And how much does it cost?

Travel Agent: Well, let me go into the details and give you some advice
