Vocab for week 3 Mod 5 and 6
A terrible holiday
Rosa and Mark saved up all year for their holiday. It was their wedding anniversary so they wanted to do something really special. They booked accommodation near the beach for a week in January. It cost over $3000, but according to the brochure, it was very luxurious. They were really looking forward to their holiday. Finally, it was time to leave.
The flight was delayed by five hours, so they didn’t get to their hotel until late at night. In the morning, they were terribly disappointed. The beach was polluted with poisonous jellyfish and it was dangerous to swim, while the hotel was dirty and not very comfortable. The hotel staff were rude and Rosa thought the food in the restaurant was disgusting. Instead of being a relaxing time, it was a horrible experience.
What you look like
Fashions are different in many countries. In some countries it is fashionable to have pale skin, whereas in many western countries, people think a tan is very attractive . Hair is another thing that gets changed a lot. The length of hair that is ‘cool’ changes all the time. At the moment it is trendy to have straight hair. People also dye their hair different colours, but some people wear wigs .
Dangerous sports
Some people really enjoy doing dangerous things for fun. Sports like sky-diving really terrify me but I have a friend who thinks it is really exciting. My son has gone bungy-jumping and said it was great fun, but I think jumping off a bridge is one of the most frightening things that you could do.
