F: International Travel Agency, may I help you? ,M: Yes, my wife and I want to take a holiday this winter, to someplace warmer. ,F: I understand. How long do you want to take? ,M: Only a week between Christmas and New Year. That's the problem, you see. ,F: There is no problem. We can find you a flight to Australia leaving at Christmas and coming back on New Year's Eve. And it will only cost $500 per person. ,M: Actually, we'd like to go somewhere nearer. $1000 is a lot to spend for such a short time. How about some places nearer with few tourists? ,F: Sorry, I don't think we have any at present. You should have come here 10 days ago.
(A) M: That's a pity. But $1000 is really expensive. (B) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (C) M: That's a pity. $1000 is not expensive at all. But I like to go to China. (D) M: That's a pity. $1000 is not expensive actually, and we'd like to go somewhere further.
