P. So Andrea, you're going home for the holiday?
A. I am. I’ve booked a flight tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait.
P. That sounds great.
A. What about you? Going home, too?
P. I haven't decided yet. I'm still considering ....
A. Haven’t decided yet? Oh, you’re never going to get a flight out of here. All the seats have been reserved by now I’m sure. It's the holiday season, after all.
P. Well, it's not very important to me. My family lives about 180 kilometers from here. I usually take the train or the coach.
A You don't sound excited about it.
P. Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they've spread out all over the place. We rarely get together as a family any more.
A. Well, I try to get home as soon as possible. We’re a big family — there are six of us - children - so it's always a lot of fun.
P. Six kids?
A. Yes. And we're all really close. My brothers are married, so it makes for a very crowded home over the holidays. And there are too many people to cook for. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. That's also fun.
P. Well, at my home, my Mother loves to cook. So when we get home, she often cooks big meals. We have leftovers four days.
