Alison and Brandon are discussing their family trip for the summer during dinner.
A: Hey, honey. Do you have any ideas for our family trip this summer? I was thinking Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam might be a great choice.
B: That sounds good. But planning a trip with the kids and our parents is going to take a lot of effort. We should start now.
A: I agree. We’ll need to check everyone’s schedules—work, summer school, and even your parents’ doctor appointments. Maybe we should confirm the travel dates first.
B: Yeah. Let’s aim for a week in August.
艾莉森和布兰登在吃晚餐时讨论他们夏天的家庭旅游。
艾莉森: 嘿,亲爱的。你对我们今年夏天的家庭旅游有任何想法吗?我想越南的富国岛或许会是个好选择。
布兰登: 那听起来很棒。但计划有孩子们和我们父母同行的旅程会花费很多心力。我们应该现在就开始规划。
艾莉森: 我也觉得。我们需要确认每个人的行程 ── 工作、暑期课程,甚至还有你父母的看诊时间。或许我们应该先确定出游日期。
布兰登: 对啊。那我们以八月的其中一周为目标吧。
