Friend 1: Hi, have you thought about our summer holiday yet?

You: Not really, I'm still deciding when to go and for how long.

Friend 1: Well, we have the option of going for a week or a fortnight. Which one do you prefer?

You: I think a week would be enough for me. How about you?

Friend 1: I was thinking the same thing. Now, let's talk about the destination. Any ideas?

You: I heard that there's a popular tourist area with great beaches and the sea. What do you think?

Friend 1: That sounds great. I'm up for some beach fun. How do you think we should get there?

You: I think taking buses and trains would be the best option. It's cheaper and more environmentally friendly than flying.

Friend 1: I totally agree. Finally, we need to decide on how to pay for the holiday. Do you have any suggestions?

You: Well, we could consider borrowing or lending money from each other to split the cost. What do you think?

Friend 1: That's a good idea. We could also look into staying at youth hostels to save money on accommodation.

You: Sounds like a plan. Let's start planning the details and book the holiday soon.
