- No, it was not. You said it was very modern. You were quite right.
They haven’t finished building yet. We couldn’t sleep. The
workmen were working all night….. on our balcony! You said it
had got a swimming pool…. It had…. But it was empty and the
restaurant …. The restaurant served fish every night.
- Oh, dear !
- You said that the hotel was near the beach and that we could walk
to the sea in two minutes.
- Couldn’t you?
- Oh, yes we could. But there was an oil refinery between the hotel
and the beach and it took half an hour to walk around it.
- Oh, I’m really terribly sorry. We really didn’t know. I’m afraid we
are unable to give you a refund but we can give you a ten per cent
discount on the next year’s holiday.
- Next year…. Next year I’m staying in England.

- Sorry, I’m late. I couldn’t start the car this morning.
- Well, winter is coming. It’s probably cold.
- It needs the service really. But the garage is so expensive
nowadays.
- Can’t you service yourself?
- Who? Me? I don’t know anything about cars.
- If I were you I’d have it serviced. The garage that I use is very
reasonable and have the radiator filled with anti-freeze. They say
it’s going to be a cold winter.

- Excuse me, do you do alterations?
- Yes, we do. What kind of alteration do you want?
- I’d like to have this skirt lengthened. It’s too short for me.
- That’s fine. It’ll take about a fortnight.
- And at the same time I want to have this dress shortened. It’s a bit
too long.
- Good. Would you mind just putting the skirt on first. There is a
change room over there.

- Hello. Can I make an appointment to see the optician.
- Yes, would next Friday be convenient? At 3 o’clock?
- Oh, yes. I want to have my eyes tested. I think I need some new
glasses. Good bye.
- Good bye. Oh, be careful. That isn’t a door it’s a window.
- Oh, yes. Sorry.

famous because he was wise and kind. One morning he sent his servant
Abdul to the market to buy some fruit. As Abdul was walking through
