Travel Agent: When would you like to go?
Samantha: On the 21 of July. For one week.

The second one is a 2 bedroom apartment with an additional twin bedroom. Both apartments have an open-plan kitchenette with oven and fridge, a full bathroom and a spacious balcony or terrace.
Samantha: I’d prefer the 2 bedroom apartment.
Travel Agent: That’s Å 395 per person based on self-catering.
Samantha: Do children get any discount?
Travel Agent: Yes, for children below 12 years we offer a 50% discount.
Samantha: Can we have half-board?
Travel Agent: Yes, half-board is available at a supplement?
Samantha: How much is that exactly?
Travel Agent: Å 45 per person.
Samantha: That’s not bad. I’d like half-board for 4 persons.
Travel Agent: All right, I’m booking it for you. That’s Å 1365. How would you like to pay? In cash or by credit card?
Samantha: In cash. Flights are included in the price, aren’t they?

Samantha: Yes, please. For all of us.

Some people prefer staying at home, they rarely leave their home town. But other people are different, they are interested in exotic places and different cultures, so they travel abroad whenever they can. If you are young, travel is a good opportunity to learn about the world. People in their thirties, forties and fifties travel often travel on business, and on vacation, too. After retiring, people like travelling because they don’t have a job to worry about. In Hungary pensions are very low, so Hungarian pensioners don’t travel a lot.

If you want to travel abroad, you need personal documents, like an ID card, or a passport. If you travel in the EU, an ID is enough to identify yourself, but if you go to the United Kingdom or Ireland, you have to carry your passport, too.
If you go abroad, you need to arrange travel and accommodation. You can book everything online, or you can go to a travel agency where an agent will do it for you.
