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 the
past we had snow from December through February. March, April and May were
generally warm and windy. June, July and August were hot. September and October
were still warm, often sunny, and occasionally rainy. November was quite cold and
rainy. 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? Poor
people! 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 right
month for me?

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, Dan and Cosmin are in the garden, and chatting about likes and dislikes.
Susie: So what do you really like doing, Cosmin?
Cosmin: Travelling. I love travelling. And meeting people. All sorts of people.
I prefer trains to airplanes. Trains are quite cheap, and you get to see a lot.
Flying is expensive. I don't mind flying, though. It saves you time. But I hate
missing connections.
Dan: I also like travelling, but I hate flying. And I dislike trains. I really like
driving. I like listening to loud music while I'm driving. But I can't stand getting
stuck in traffic jams. And I like cycling.
Susie: Do you know what I really like doing? I like sitting here, in the garden,
listening to you. And I like running my business, but I can't stand getting into
arguments with customers.
Cosmin: I also enjoy sitting here, talking to you.
Dan: Me, too.
