- Friend 1:
- Oh, look at this! A new spa’s opened, and they’re offering some great treatments. Shall we go?
- Friend 2:
- Oh, yes! I could do with treating myself. I’ve been working far too hard on this thesis!
- Friend 1:
- Right, let’s look at what they’ve got to offer us. Well, they’ve got a lot of treatments on offer. How about a nice foot massage using seaweed? Apparently, it’s for tired, aching feet and helps with dead skin removal.
- Friend 2:
- Hmmm, well, I’m not sure I want anyone touching my feet, and I don’t really like the sound of all that seaweed. What else have they got?
- Friend 1:
- Hmmm, that’s probably for the best – there are no special offers for it. How about a relaxing head massage? It’ll ease your stress and give you more energy and concentration.
- Friend 2:
- Now that I do need. How long is it?
- Friend 1:
- Well, you can have a 60-minute massage for £60, or they’ve got a taster session on offer for 30 if you pay upfront. We could do that, I guess.
- Friend 2:
- Let’s sign up for the taster! What’s next?
- Friend 1:
- OK, well, I quite fancy the rejuvenating facial for tired eyes and skin!
- Friend 2:
- But you’re not that old!
- Friend 1:
- Ha ha, yes, apparently it will give me back my young appearance and get rid of bags and circles, and I definitely have those!
- Friend 2:
- OK, how much is that?
- Friend 1:
- For 1 hour and 30 minutes, it’s £80 – that’s the normal price, but if you have it with something else, it’s £50.
- Friend 2:
- Hmmm, sounds expensive for a few bags under the eyes!
- Friend 1:
- I like the sound of it!
