David and Megan went to secondary school together. They bump into each other many years

later and are discussing their life choices…

Megan: Hi David! I hardly recognised you! How are you?

David: Hi Megan! It’s great to see you. You’ve changed so much since secondary school too.

How have you been?

Megan: I’ve been doing great! After graduating from university, I decided to open my own

business, a small beauty salon. Over the past year, it has really taken off. How about you?

David: That sounds great. You made the right decision. After school, I decided to try my

luck at finding a good job abroad, but that was a mistake. If I’d known about the work

conditions in the country I went to, I would never have left in the first place.

Megan: I’m sorry to hear that. I assume you came back home quickly. What did you do

then?

David: Yes, I was back home within a couple of months. As the saying goes, east or west,

home is the best! I convinced my parents to start a family business which has turned out to be

quite successful.

Megan: That sounds great! What kind of business is it?

David: Countryside tourism. My parents’ property is in very picturesque area in the country

with a lake, meadows, and areas of woodland, so we built a guest house and offer relaxing

holidays for people who want to be close to the nature.

Megan: Amazing - I’m impressed! I’d love to go there for a weekend to wind down after a

stressful week in the salon. Can I have your contact details? Is there a website where I can

book a short stay?

David: Sure, my number is 07877867112. If you have any questions or want to know

anything at all, just give me a call. The website is cranree-guesthouse.co.uk. You can see

pictures of the inside and the surrounding grounds there. I’d love to show you around if you

come to stay too. Keep in touch!

Megan: I will. Thanks David!
