/. Listen to the conversation "Holidays in Switzerland" and answer the questions:
George: Good evening, Mary. I'm glad to see you. Come in.
Mary: Hullo, George! I haven't seen you for several weeks. You've been away from home, haven't you?
George: I've been in Switzerland. I got back yesterday.
Mary: I hope you had a good holiday. Did you enjoy yourself?
George: Very much. Shall I show you some of my photographs?
Mary: Oh, do, please. I like looking at photographs.
George: Here they are. This is the plane that took me to Switzerland.
Mary: Oh, you went by air, did you? Do you like flying?
George: Yes, I like flying. I think it's much better than going by rail and steamer. The air-liners of British European Airways are very comfortable. They've carried millions of passengers quite safely. And of course flying is much quicker. Here's another photograph.
Mary: That's you, isn't it? Who's the girl at your side?
George: That is a girl who was with me in the plane. We became
quite friendly and spent a lot of time together. Mary: And who is the girl in this photograph? George: She is a girl who was staying at my hotel in Interlaken.
I became quite friendly with her, too.
Mary: Well, here's another girl! That's three! Who's this girl? George: She's a girl who went up several mountains with me.
She was staying at my hotel too. She's very fond of climbing, so we often went climbing together. Mary: You like the girls and the girls like you. What's this?
It's a train, isn't it? George: Yes, that's a train on the railway that goes up the
Jungfrau. Mary: You said you went climbing! Did you go up the Jungfrau
by train? That isn't climbing. George: The railway doesn't go to the top! We climbed from the
end of the railway.
Mary: Here's a photograph of a steamer. George: That's a lake steamer. It takes passengers round one
of the two lakes at Interlaken. Interlaken is between the
two lakes. Mary: That's what the name Interlaken means, isn't it? Who
are these three men? George: The man on the left is an Italian who has climbed most of
the mountains in the Swiss Alps. The man in the middle is
a Frenchman who has done a lot of climbing in the
Pyrenees. The third man, on the right, is a Swiss guide.
He's the man who took us up several mountains. You
must have a good guide in the Alps. It is dangerous to
climb alone.
Mary: And what's this? George: That's one of the mountain huts we slept in when we
were doing a two-day climb. Mary: And this? It's a hotel, isn't it? George: Yes, that's the hotel I stayed in while I was in Geneva
for a few days.
Mary: That's a pretty little village. George: Isn't it? It's a place where I stayed for two days after
my longest climb. I was very tired. Mary: And who are these people?
George: They're the people at whose house I stayed in the village. Mary: Well, you certainly had a good holiday. George: Yes, I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope I shall be able to
go again next summer.
Questions: Where did George spend his holidays? Did he have a good time? What did he do during his holidays?
