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
