Объяснение:

-Hey, Jane.

-Hi, Lola. How are you?

-I'm fine, the day before yesterday i came back from Sri Lanka.

-Oh, i see. You are looking fine. What can you tell me about your travel?

-Oh, it was amazing. There is bright-blue ocean in Sri Lanka. Water in ocean is clearer than in other places that i have gone. There are lots of palms and clear, bright sand. The sand in the beaches was brighter than sun, in any case, it seemed to me so.

-Oh, I'm so envy you. What about staff?

-80% of the staff are indians. They wear folk clothes to a work.

-It's crazy for me. I think, modern clothes is looking more actually. Ok, Lola, i have to go for a walk with my dog. Bye!

-Bye!
