About unsuccessful holidays
“ I can’ t tell you how annoyed I am! We were very dissatisfied with the food, the staff weren’ t helpful at all and the facilities on board the ship were very disappointing. I’ m definitely going to write a letter of complaint! We paid a lot of money for that cruise!”
“ To tell you the truth, we didn’ t go to the beach very much because the weather wasn’ t as good as I was expecting it to be. The travel agent told us it was usually sunny and hot at that time of year, but there was often a cool breeze and there were quite a few showers in the afternoons.”
Last year, I went on holiday to London with my class. We had a terrible experience. For a start, our flight was delayed for six hours. To make matters worse, the food in our hotel was appalling. It also rained every single day! It was an absolute nightmare!
A story A Perfect Day For A Festival
‘ It was a perfect, sunny day at the festival and it felt like nothing could go wrong.’ My friends and I waved goodbye to our parents as the train left the station. It was a perfect, sunny day, not what you would expect after last week’ s rain. Tom and Fiona had their bright red waterproof jackets with them.“ I don’ t think you’ ll be needing those!” I said.“ It’ s such a great summer day nothing can go wrong.”
The concert had just started when we arrived at the music festival. There were thousands of people there.“ I can’ t wait for my favourite band to play,” I said to my friends, but when I turned around, I couldn’ t see them.
Next thing, dark clouds gathered and it started to rain heavily. Confused, I didn’ t know what to do. It was just then that I saw Tom and Fiona’ s red jackets and I ran towards them.
Disappointed, we managed to dash into a small restaurant, where we sat down for something to eat.“ I’ m really looking forward to going home and getting warm and dry,” I exclaimed.“ And next time I come to a festival, I’ ll bring a jacket just in case.”
A story A Disastrous Holiday
One evening while I was on holiday with my parents, we went for a long drive in the mountains above the city. I was just enjoying the spectacular views of the countryside below, when suddenly we heard a deafening noise.“ I have a feeling that something terrible is about to happen,” my Dad said anxiously. Next thing there were rocks and stones rolling down the mountains.“ Oh no,” my mother cried,”“ it’ s an earthquake.” It was all over in a few seconds and luckily our car wasn’ t hit by anything. The road was covered in rocks but we decided to return to our accommodation immediately. It took us some time to navigate around the rocks.
We finally arrived back at our hotel, exhausted and anxious. We were so relieved to be back. Mum looked at me and said, laughing:“ I thought we were coming on holiday, not to disaster zone!”
A story An Unfortunate Event
You know when you get that feeling that something terrible is about to happen? Well, on my way to the carnival last week, I felt extremely nervous and worried for absolutely no reason at all.“ Oh, you’ ve nothing to worry about,” my friend Anne said.
It was getting dark when we reached the carnival. We wandered around the stalls, admiring the beautiful and colourful floats. There were hundreds of people around.“ I’ m thirsty,” I said,“ let’ s get some cola.” It was
