Dialogue 3:

Asking for a suggestion about camping

        A:  Hi, Jason. I’m planning a holiday and I’m thinking about going camping. Is this a good idea?

 B:  Yes.I went on a camping trip about 10 years ago. I just loved it. I found it to be safe, clean, and well-priced. It is much cheaper to camp in the camping ground instead of sleeping in roofed accommodation.

 A:  Great! That’s what I’m thinking of.  Do you have any suggestions?

 B:  There’s one suggestion: try to stay more in tourist or holiday parks rather than caravan parks.

 A:  Thanks. Is it necessary to reserve the campgrounds in advance?

 B:  Of course. Some parks are very popular during the summer season. You’d better reserve the campgrounds as soon as possible.

 A:  Really? But I heard that some national parks had some first-come, first-served campgrounds.

 B:  Yes, they do. However, even the first-come, first-served campgrounds will often be crowded by noon from May through September.

 A:  Thank you very much for your suggestion.
