J: Jeff A: Amy
Amy is planning a trip in September, and her friend Jeff is asking her about it.
J: Hey, Amy! You’re going on a trip soon, right? Why didn’t you go in July or August?
A: Yeah, I’ll be traveling at the end of September. I prefer going during the shoulder season.
J: Shoulder season? What’s that?
A: It’s the time between the high season and the low season. There are fewer crowds, the flights and hotels are cheaper, and everything feels more relaxed.
J: That sounds nice. I always thought summer was the best time to go.
