A HOLIDAY
“I’m planning my holiday for next summer and I don’t know whether I should have a lazy holiday or an exciting one. Last year I went on holiday to southern Spain with my best friends, Joanna and Ling. We stayed in a brilliant four‐star hotel, which had three swimming pools. It was quite expensive but we really enjoyed ourselves and we all got great suntans! This year, Joanna is going away with her parents to Greece so it’ll be just Ling and me. Ling wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa, the type where you have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it would be interesting and better than having a lazy holiday because we would learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not trekking across the middle of nowhere. Ling said that we’d see elephants and zebras and have some amazing experiences. I think she’s bored of lying in the sun all day and fancies a change. I’ve got to make up my mind by next Monday at the latest so that she can book the tickets. It would cost £1,400 each to go to Africa, but less than half that amount for two weeks in Portugal.”

Susan is a student. Last year she went on holiday to Spain. It was her birthday so it was 5th May. She did not have much money so she wanted to stay at a cheap hotel. She did not book a hotel. She wanted to get a room after arriving to the hotel. But when she arrived at the airport in Spain a thief stole her credit card. She did not have much money, so she did not stay at the hotel. She stayedin a tent on the beach but she liked it. She saw many interesting things there. She saw the sea, the stars at night and many people. She ate ice-cream and pasta. The weather was nice. It did not rain. She liked the hot days because she swam in the sea and tanned on the beach. She bought some postcards and sent them to her friends and relatives. She did not stay on the beach all her holiday. She travelled around Spain by bus. It was not expensive. She was happy that she had a one-month holiday because there were so many interesting places to see. She liked everything, but she did not like the coffee, so she drank wine and tea. The weather was very hot so she swam in the sea every day. She did not speak Latvian, she spoke English. She visited many monuments but she did not visitgalleries or museums because she does not like museums and galleries. She met a lot of new people and she liked it. But Susan hadtwo more problems on her way. First she lost her camera with all her photos, and when she was on a plane back to Riga a thief stoleher purse. Luckily there was no more money. When she arrived at Riga airport she called her parents and they took her home.
