和老外聊天的地道口语第22期:我们去旅游吧!

J: wow! You're going to Tibet?

S: yes, my brothe and I are going. We just finished making our itinerary¹.

J: that's really cool! I've always dreamed of going somewhere like Tibet, seeing something unique.

S: great minds think alike². My brother and I have been thinking about going to Tibet for quite a long time. Do you have anything on your schedule?

J: nothing particular.

S: why don't you join us? We are leaving next week; you'll still have a week to prepare.

J: oh, Tibet sounds great, but I'm afraid it'll cost too much. Last time I traveled to India, and it cost me a fortune.

S: come on! We're traveling on our own. It won't cost too much.

J: ok, then count me in. where will we stay?

S: the youth hotels are comfortable and cheap.

J: then make sure that you book me a room, too.

S: I'll take care of it.

J: and check whether they accept credit³ cards.

S: no problem.
