Luke

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. You know, I do miss the 100 and 10 degree weather. Ah, I don't know if I'd go that far, but yeah, some warmth definitely sounds good.

Emma

I-I want I want desert. I want dry air and I want cactus. That's what I want.

Luke

Is that what you're asking for for Christmas?

Emma

Yes, actually.

Luke

Okay.

Emma

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

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

Emma

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

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

Yep.

Luke

Yeah, so, um, what's your favorite memory of- from summer vacations? Ah, that's kind of tricky. I, I don't know that my vacations are normal. Mm hm.

Emma

Most years I like to go on like an archeological excavation. Uh huh. So like to to go out and participate in an archaeology dig.

Luke

Right.

Emma

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

Right.

Emma

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

Luke

You seem to find it refreshing, though. Like you seem to come back refreshed.

Emma

I do.

Luke

From that.

Emma

I do.

Luke

So it's still a vacation even though you are. 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-

Emma

-look at the ocean. I would probably be done with that Right. after about 3 minutes.

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

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

Luke

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

Emma

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

Luke

Right.

Emma

That's why there's lots of beachfront houses and villas and-

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

-all that kind of stuff.

Luke

Yep.

Emma

Maximum vacation comfort and relaxation.

Luke

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. Oh, yeah, like your generic summer- Yeah.

Emma

-like fruit pop.

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

Yeah.

Luke

Tastes like summer.

Emma

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

Yeah.

Emma

Thanks for listening to Dialogue Frog. We'll see you next week.
