W: What do the Romans do? M: They live in Rome, of course, and go to work by car or bus. But sometimes it takes too long that way because of the traffic jams, so they walk. W: In other words, the Romans do what everyone else does. M: Yes, but they do it differently. Everything is different. W: What do you mean? M: Well, the climate is different for a start. It doesn't rain so much as it does in England. The sun shines more often. W: I envy them for the sun. M: I Know. You hate the rain, don't you? W: I certainly do. M: And a Roman really loves life. They always eat spaghetti and drink wine. W: Not always, but they like a good meal. Lots of tourists go to Rome just for food. M: Sure. What was said before this conversation?

W: OK! M: By the way, I'm thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It's such a beautiful country. I've never been there before. W: Have you booked the flight? M: Not yet. I'm planning to book my flight in two weeks' time W: Book your flight right now. M: Why? W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact, the prices may double at Christmas time. New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas. M: Then I'm going to book my flight tomorrow morning.
