Listening Practice 1

Brian: Hey, Anna. What do you plan on seeing during your trip around Europe this summer?

Anna: Hey, Brian. I am not exactly sure. Do you have any ideas?

Brian: Well, what are you interested in?

Anna: Hmm. It would be nice to see some of Europe’s great palaces. I think it would be interesting to check out where some of those famous powerful monarchs lived, but I don’t know which ones are worth visiting.

Brian: I do. You should go to Versailles in France, Schonbrunn in Austria, and Buckingham Palace in England. Those are the best three palaces in Europe.

Anna: Ah, thanks! Any other advice?

Brian: Yeah. When you visit Buckingham Palace, make sure you go early to beat the crowds. It gets really busy in the afternoon.

Anna: I definitely will. I appreciate the information. Do you have any summer plans?

Brian: Not this summer, but next summer, I want to go to Japan and check out the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Anna: That sounds awesome!
