отец любит путешествовать пешком. Он уходит от шумных автодорог,
бредет по тихим тропинкам и наслаждается тишиной природы. 10. Каждый
год мы с другом ездим на Черное море. Мы добираемся автостопом,
ставим палатку и наслаждаемся морем и солнцем.
Task 9. These people had bad holiday experiences. Read their stories.
Divide into three groups and complete the following sentences. Then find a
partner from each group and exchange your stories. Have you ever had a
bad holiday experience?
1. Maureen Lipman.
Well, after the typhoons in Florida, and two weeks of non-stop rain in Australia,
I thought this was going to be different. I was the first person to get my bags at
the airport – which usually never happens to me – and the hotel was excellent.
Then the phone rang. ‘Ms. Lipman?’ said a voice. ‘Yes?’ I said. ‘I think I’ve got
your suitcase,’ said a voice.
Just going now to change the suitcase.
Love, Maureen.
2. Leslie Thomas.
Greeting from Milan! Confused? Here’s why I’m in Italy. At the end of my French
holidays I drove very fast in order not to miss the train to Bologna. I was very late.
When I wanted to put my car on the train, the guard said I was too late. So I did the
kind of thing I never do and drove through the men and onto the train. When an
official came up to me, I said, ‘I’m not moving’. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked.
“Bologna.’ I replied. ‘Monsieur’, he said, ‘this train is going to Milan’.
See you soon! Leslie.
3. Clair Rayner.
When we came to the Caribbean we were looking forward to a very comfortable
holiday. But it’s awful. The hotel’s terrible. The plughole in our washbasin isn’t
connected to the pipe and there’s water all over the bedroom. I went for a swim
in the pool and came face to face with a rat! We decided to take a tour. But the
taxi-driver didn’t go faster than 5 mph. Worst of all, we’ve booked for two
weeks and can’t get an early flight home, so we’ll have to stay.
See you on the 10
