30. Longing for Summer Vacations | Dialogue in English

Luke 0:02
You're listening to Dialogue Frog's short English conversations and today we are in a wintery kind of state here and, uh, we're longing for summer vacations.

Luke 0:17
You know, I do miss the 100 and 10 degree weather.

Luke 0:22
Ah, I don't know if I'd go that far, but yeah, some warmth definitely sounds good.

Emma 0:28
I-I want I want desert. I want dry air and I want cactus. That's what I want.

Luke 0:34
Is that what you're asking for for Christmas?

Emma 0:36
Yes, actually.

Luke 0:37
Okay.

Emma 0:39
An all all uh expenses paid trip to the desert. I won't even be particular about which desert. There's lots to choose from.

Luke 0:46
Okay. 'Cause I was thinking, I could probably wrap the dry air. I don't know about the other two, though.

Emma 0:52
If, if I get a a present, that's just a box of air, I'll know who it's from.

Luke 0:57
Yeah.

Emma 0:58
Yep.

Luke 1:02
Yeah, so, um, what's your favorite memory of- from summer vacations?

Luke 1:09
Ah, that's kind of tricky. I, I don't know that my vacations are normal.

Luke 1:16
Mm hm.

Emma 1:17
Most years I like to go on like an archeological excavation.

Emma 1:21
Uh huh.

Emma 1:22
So like to to go out and participate in an archaeology dig.

Luke 1:26
Right.

Emma 1:26
And so that's usually a lot of work. It's not like you go to some town and look at famous buildings or go to museums.

Luke 1:35
Right.

Emma 1:38
It's, yeah, I, I would guess it's slightly more intense than the average summer vacation.

Luke 1:44
You seem to find it refreshing, though. Like you seem to come back refreshed.

Emma 1:48
I do.

Luke 1:48
From that.

Emma 1:49
I do.

Luke 1:50
So it's still a vacation even though you are.

Luke 1:53
I'm kind of one of those weird people. I like to work. Like, I like to do things. If I were to just like sit on a beach and-

Luke 1:59
Right.

Emma 1:59
-look at the ocean. I would probably be done with that after about 3 minutes.

Luke 2:03
Yeah.

Emma 2:05
Now, if I were excavating something on that beach, that's a different story.

Luke 2:09
Yeah. I'm the other way around, where I do as little work as possible. I don't really have anything else to follow with that. That's just, that's just me.

Luke 2:24
There-there is, there is something to be said for like, relaxing during a vacation. That's really what a vacation is for.

Luke 2:32
Right.

Emma 2:32
And so, if that is what relaxation is to you, and that's what relaxation is to a lot of people.

Luke 2:38
Right.

Emma 2:40
That's why there's lots of beachfront houses and villas and-

Luke 2:44
Yeah.

Emma 2:46
-all that kind of stuff.

Luke 2:47
Yep.

Emma 2:48
Maximum vacation comfort and relaxation.

Luke 2:52
It's true. I think my memory of summer vacations is always based around those like frozen fruit pop things that you'd put you put in the freezer and you'd have like a grape flavor and then like a candy ap- candy green.

Luke 3:10
Oh, yeah, like your generic summer-

Luke 3:13
Yeah.

Emma 3:14
-like fruit pop.

Luke 3:17
Yeah.

Emma 3:17
Yeah.

Luke 3:20
Tastes like summer.

Emma 3:23
Yep. All right. Well, it's not summer yet, but it will be eventually. And hopefully by then we'll still be doing Dialogue Frog.

Luke 3:32
Yeah.

Emma 3:33
Thanks for listening to Dialogue Frog. We'll see you next week.
