English Conversation Practice – Planning a Weekend Road Trip

Characters:
Zara – loves spontaneous adventures
Ethan – prefers planning everything in advance


Zara: Ethan! What are you doing this weekend?

Ethan: Not much yet. Why? What do you have in mind?

Zara: Road trip. Just a quick getaway — fresh air, snacks, music. You in?

Ethan: Hmm… spontaneous travel? You know I need at least 48 hours to mentally prepare.

Zara: Come on! That’s part of the fun — no big plans, just the open road.

Ethan: Where are we even going?

Zara: I was thinking the mountains. Maybe that lakeside spot we visited last year?

Ethan: Oh! That place was beautiful. And peaceful. But… do we have a place to stay?

Zara: Not yet, but I can check for cabins or even a cute little B&B.

Ethan: Okay, as long as we’re not sleeping in the car again like last time.

Zara: That was one time, and it was… an adventure!

Ethan: An adventure with no bathroom and a sore back for three days.

Zara: Fair. Lesson learned. I’ll make sure we have a proper place this time.

Ethan: Alright. What should I pack?

Zara: Just casual clothes, hiking shoes, and good vibes. Maybe a board game or two?

Ethan: I’ll bring UNO. It always gets competitive.

Zara: Yes! And I’ll make a killer playlist for the drive.

Ethan: You mean a playlist with 90% Taylor Swift?

Zara: Obviously. You secretly love it, admit it.

Ethan: I plead the fifth. What about food?

Zara: Let’s stock up before we leave — sandwiches, fruit, chips, maybe a little chocolate?

Ethan: Classic road trip snacks. Should we leave Saturday morning?

Zara: Early, like 7 a.m. The roads will be quiet, and we’ll get there before lunch.

Ethan: 7 a.m.? That’s the middle of the night, Zara.

Zara: Okay, 8 then. Deal?

Ethan: Deal. I’ll bring the coffee.

Zara: Perfect. I’ll text you the list of stuff to bring and the booking once I confirm it.

Ethan: Sounds good. I’m actually looking forward to this.

Zara: See? Spontaneity isn’t so bad after all.

Ethan: Don’t get used to it — but yeah, this sounds fun.

Zara: Weekend road trip, here we come!
