Note to recorder:

Hi everyone !
Could a native English speaker help me ?
I need someone to read this dialogue, so that I can use the recording in class.
As there are 2 characters in this dialogue, you can either read the part of Mrs Stuart only, read both parts trying to make different voices or ask a friend to read the part of Mr. El Fennani.
Thank you very much in advance.
Elodie

Mrs. Stuart : Good afternoon Sir.

Mr. El Fennani : Good afternoon Madam. How may I help you ?

Mrs. Stuart : I would like to organise my next holiday. Which country do you recommend me to visit ?

Mr. El Fennani : I recommend you to visit India. Over there, the landscapes are very different.

Mrs. Stuart : Oh, why not ! I’m not very good at Geography. Where is this country located ?

Mr. El Fennani : It’s in Asia, Madam.

Mrs. Stuart : What is the name of the capital ?

Mr. El Fennani : It’s New Delhi, but the main city (the most famous one) is Mumbai.

Mrs. Stuart : Ah ! yes, of course, I see where it is now ! Do people speak English ?

Mr. El Fennani : Yes, they do, Madam. The inhabitants speak several languages.
Hindi and English are the two official languages of the country.

Mrs. Stuart : Several languages ! It must be a very populous country ! How many inhabitants are there ?

Mr. El Fennani : There are around 1.38 billion people in India, Madam.

Mrs. Stuart : That’s a lot ! But… how long does an average inhabitant live ?

Mr. El Fennani : An average inhabitant lives for 70 years.

Mrs. Stuart : Less than in England unfortunately…
What about spirituality in India ? Which religions do people believe in ?

Mr. El Fennani : It depends. There are three major religions : Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.

Mrs. Stuart : Great ! There must be a lot of religious places to see !

Mr. El Fennani : You are right ! I recommend you to see the Golden temple in particular. This monument is breathtaking !

Mrs. Stuart : When should I go exactly ?

Mr. El Fennani : Well, you can visit the Golden Temple at any time of the year.
You should go to India in March, though. It’s the moment when people celebrate Diwali festival.

Mrs. Stuart : What is it ? What do the inhabitants do ?

Mr. El Fennani : People throw colored powder into the air. It is an old tradition to celebrate the arrival of Spring.

Mrs. Stuart : Why is it interesting ?

Mr. El Fennani : Because it’s a moment when people reunite and share their joy.
It’s a good way to relax !

Mrs. Stuart : Alright, it’s very convincing !
One last point : if I go to India, which food speciality should I eat ?

Mr. El Fennani : I recommend you to taste local Chicken Tikka Masala.

Mrs. Stuart : I have never tried. What are the main ingredients ?

Mr. El Fennani : There are breasts chicken, rice and spices.

Mrs. Stuart : Thank you for your help. I will come back to book a trip with your agency.

Hello, the colored powder festival in India is “Holi”, not Diwali.
