·                           a motorhome  in Lao  

Are you going to rent a car?      Lao translation 

 

When you travel by car, you have to pay for motels.   Lao translation 

 

We can save a lot of money, because we don’t have to eat at restaurants.      Lao translation

 

Kathy:      Now it’s time for today’s interview.

 

                  Our guest today is Bob Harris

 

                  Next summer, you’re going to Alaska with your family.

 

Bob:      That’s right.

 

                  We’re going to take the ferry from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska.

 

                  And then we’re going to drive around Alaska for a week.

 

Kathy:        Are you going to rent a car?

 

Bob:          No, we’re going to rent a motorhome.

 

Kathy:        A motorhome?

 

Bob:      Yes.  Some people call them RV’s --recreational vehicles.

 

Kathy:      Why are you going to rent a motorhome?

 

                  Isn’t it expensive?

 

Bob:          Not really.

 

                  When you travel by car, you have to stay in motels.

 

                  Motels are expensive.

 

                  When you travel in a motorhome, you don’t have to pay for motels.

 

                  You can sleep in the motorhome.

 

                  And the motorhome has a kitchen, so we can cook our own meals.

 

                  We can save a lot of money, because we don’t have to eat at restaurants.

 

Kathy:      Sounds like a great idea for a vacation, Bob.

 

                  Our guest today is Bob Harris.  We’ll talk more after our break.

 

                  This is New Dynamic English.
