Fatima: It's a beautiful day but so hot!
Navid: It will be cooler on the water.
Fatima: Yes, I can feel the breeze 1 now. This was a lovely idea.
Navid: I'm so glad you like boats.
Fatima: I've never been on a boat like this before. How far is it to the island?
Navid: It takes about an hour. It is a clear day so you will see it soon.
Fatima: Does anyone live there?
Navid: Only in the summer when visitors go to see the castle 2 and the houses where people lived a long time ago. In the winter I suppose people might go sometimes but not to stay.
Fatima: I expect the weather can be very stormy in the winter.
Navid: Yes, and the journey 3 can be dangerous.
Fatima: The boat is rocking a bit now.
Navid: Do you feel okay?
Fatima: Oh yes, I won't be sick.
Navid: Later on, the guide will tell us about the island on the loudspeaker 4.
Fatima: And perhaps we can buy souvenirs 5 when we get there.
Navid: Yes, there's a little shop. You can buy things on the boat too. Would you like a drink?
Fatima: Oh, yes please. Can you get me a Pepsi?
Navid: Sure. I'll see what they have. You stay here.
Fatima: Hang on for a moment. Look at those beautiful birds. We are in the middle of the water now. You can see the coast 6 on both sides.
Navid: The birds make such a noise.
Fatima: No more than the children! There are a lot of families here, aren't there?
Navid: Yea, it's a nice trip for them but they'll need to be careful when they get there. There are lots of narrow 7 steps.
Fatima: I found stepping on to the boat quite difficult. The gangway moves about so much. Then we had to climb up here on to the deck 8.
Navid: I like it up here best though, don't you? The engine 9 makes a noise downstairs and it's too warm.
Fatima: I'd be happy to stay here for hours.
Navid: I'll go and get the drinks now. Afterwards 10 we can walk around a little.
Fatima: I just can't wait to get there!
