Alex: Where are you planning to go on vacation next year?
Jill: I intend to go to Viet Nam.
Alex:  Why don't you go to Europe?
Jill: I don't have enough money, so I can't go to Europe yet.
Alex: How do you plan to go the Viet Nam?
Jill:  I'll go by plane to Bangkok then to Saigon.   I don't know how I'll go from Saigon to Hanoi.  According to you, should I go by train or interurban bus?
Alex:

 From Saigon to Hanoi is very far.  Going by bus is very tiring.  I think you should go by train.
Jill:

 Yes, maybe I'll go by train to Hue, then I'll go by bus from Hue to Hanoi.
Alex: How long do you plan to stay in Hue?
Jill:  I plan to stay there only two days.
Alex: According to me, you should stay at least a week.  Hue is an old Vietnamese capital.  The last kings of Vietnam lived there.   At present there are quite a few tombs and the vestiges of some palaces and an ancient citadel.  You should stay at the university guest house because it's very inexpensive.
English equivalent for the conversation # C 7 ( C9 in the textbook)

Anh: What places have you been already?
Bev: I've just gone to Ngoc Son temple and Hoan Kiem Lake only.  How many temples and pagodas are there in Hanoi, Anh?
Anh: Oh, very many.  I myself don't/can't know all (of them), but there are a number that are pretty and famous, for example, Quan Su Temple,the One-Pillar Temple, Hai Ba Trung Temple, Quan Thanh Temple.
Bev: Where is Quan Thanh Temple?
Anh:  On Co Ngu road.  West Lake is in front of the Temple, and on the right side of the temple is Truc Bach Lake.
Bev: Really?  I'm staying in Thang Loi Hotel beside West Lake.  Perhaps some day when I'm free, I'll go visit Quan Thanh Temple.
