A terrible holidayRosa 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.
