Father : I’m making plans for our next holiday in France .

Son : Oh , yes .

Father: I like to be ready, you know . For example, we’re going to drive from Paris to Toulouse. There’s a good road through Orleans and Limoges and perhaps it’s quicker to go that way . But sometimes it’s better to go a longer way round . You see more , and there’s less traffic , so it’s easier to drive .
