M: To the cinema. What about coming with me?

W: No, thanks. I'm going home. My friend's expecting me.

M: What a pity! I believe it's a very good film.

W: Do you go to the cinema a lot?

M: Once a week. Most nights I sit at home and watch TV.

W: Oh, I see. By the way, where are you going for your holidays this year?

M: I don't know yet. My wife's going to her mother's for a couple of weeks. She lives by the sea, you know.

W: Oh, does she? That's convenient.

M: Yes, but I want to go to the country.

W: Don't you like the sea?

M: Yes, very much. But I need peace and quiet when I'm on holiday.
