Jane and Ivan are sitting on a bench in Hyde Park
Ivan: Do you know, Jane, I've been in England for five months?
And now it's almost time to go back home.
Jane: Oh, is it already? Are you leaving soon?
Ivan: If I get the reservation, I'll fly to Banja Luka in a fortnight. Jane: It's a pity you can't stay in Britain longer. We could go
mountain climbing in autumn or even skiing in winter.
Ivan: I'd love that but I have to go back home. Still, I'll come
to England again next spring if I earn enough money.
Jane: What about your summer holidays? Have you made any plans yet?
Ivan: Well, I shan't stay in Banja Luka very long. I'll go to the seaside as soon as
possible. You see, my parents live at Neum, a small town on the south coast.
Jane: Will you spend the summer there?
Ivan: It depends. I'll stay there until September if the weather is fine.
Jane: I've heard a lot about your beautiful country. I plan to go there next year if I
save enough money.
Ivan: If you visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, come and stay with us at Neum. I'm sure
you'll like it. The sea is warm, there is plenty of sunshine so you can swim or lie on the beach all day long. I'm very sorry you can't come to Bosnia and Herzegovina this year. I'll miss you very much, Jane.
Jane: I'll miss you. too.
