Todd: Keren, you have talked about places you have been. Now. why don't you talk about places you want to go. Where would you like to visit?
託德：凱倫，你之前談了你去過的地方。現在來談談你想去的地方怎麼樣？你想去哪裏旅行？Keren: Whoa! There are so many places. I'd love to go to Cuba.
凱倫：哇！我有很多想去的地方。我想去古巴。Todd: Why Cuba?
託德：你爲什麼想去古巴？
Keren: I imagine it's such a unique place and it probably won't be so unique for much longer, and I'd love to see what life is like there.
凱倫：我認爲那裏是一個獨特的地方，可能以後不再這麼獨特了，我想去看看那裏的生活。Todd: Right. So about Cuba, what is it that attracts you about Cuba? I take it, it's not baseball.
託德：好。那古巴的哪些地方吸引着你？我想不是棒球。Keren: No! Well, part of the reason is that I can speak Spanish, so I love to practice speaking it, and it has beautiful beaches but it also has cultural history also. So there's lots to do there.
凱倫：不是！部分原因是我會西班牙語，所以我想去那裏鍛鍊一下我的口語，而且古巴既有美麗的海灘也有文化歷史景點。古巴有很多可以遊玩的地方。Todd: OK, now, I think you actually have travel plans coming up. Aren't you going somewhere soon?
託德：好，我想你已經有旅行計劃了。你準備去哪裏？Keren: I am. Yes. I'm going to Cambodia.
凱倫：對，我已經有計劃了，我打算去柬埔寨。Todd: Oh, Cambodia.
託德：哦，柬埔寨。Keren: Yeah.
凱倫：對。Todd: What are you going to do in Cambodia?
託德：你打算去柬埔寨的哪些地方？Keren: I am going to go to to Angor Wat to see the old temple ruins and then I'm going to go to Phnom Penh and after that I'm going to the beach.
凱倫：我想去吳歌窟看看古廟遺址，然後去金邊，還有海灘。Todd: Nice. So, the beaches are popular now in Cambodia?
託德：不錯。柬埔寨的海灘現在很受歡迎嗎？Keren: Yeah. I believe there are lot quieter than the beaches in Thailand but they are becoming more popular and they're supposed to be beautiful.
凱倫：對。我認爲柬埔寨的海灘比泰國海灘安靜的多，不過現在柬埔寨的海灘越來越受歡迎，而且也非常漂亮。Todd: Now is this the first time you've been to Cambodia?
託德：你是第一次去柬埔寨嗎？Keren: Yes it is, yeah.
凱倫：對，沒錯。Todd: Oh, OK. So are you going straight to Cambodia or are you going through Thailand?
託德：好。你是直接去柬埔寨還是從泰國去？Keren: I'm gonna fly to Bangkok and go through Bangkok to the Cambodian border.
凱倫：我打算先飛去曼谷，然後從曼谷進入柬埔寨邊境。Todd: OK. How long do you plan to stay?
