Preferences

Barbara and Ted are planning their vacation:

B: Where shall we go for our vacation this year, Ted?
T: How about Florida? It's cheap, and good weather is guaranteed.
B: I'd rather do something more exciting this year. Have you seen this ad for adventure holidays in Canada?
T: I prefer lying on a beach to hang-gliding and canoeing.
B: But we do that every year. I'd prefer to do something different this time. I'd rather not go anywhere so crowded.
T: Well, you have a point. Palm Beach was very crowded last time. I'd prefer somewhere a little quieter too, but I don't fancy anything too active.
B: How about Crystal Bay? The weather's usually good and there are some lovely walks around the coast.
T: Sounds OK to me. Would you prefer to stay in a hotel or rent a cottage?

Practice: i) you and a friend are deciding which movie to see; ii) you and your partner want to buy a new house. Make conversations and practice with friends.
