Max: I’d really like to go to somewhere warm this year. I’d really like a vacation at the beach. Sue: Me too. What about Greece? How about we go to somewhere like a nice island? Somewhere away from big, busy cities. Max: Actually, what about Turkey? Frank went with his family last year and he really recommends it as a destination. Sue: So how about two weeks in the south of Turkey? And on the way home, we can spend a couple of days in Istanbul… does that sound good? Max: That sounds great. At the beach you can relax, do some sports activities… and in the city you can visit some cultural attractions, like museums and historic sites. Where would you like to go?
