Part1
r

Rosa м
= Mark
r:
So anyway,
we decided to have a really good holiday - a 'dream holiday'
in the Caribbean, because we'd always wanted to go there. So
we saved our money up for months and months, and booked this
holiday in a place called San Antonio. It cost over a
thousand pounds each, but we wanted to do something really
special so we booked it for two weeks in May, because all the
brochures said that the weather's beautiful there in May ...
m:
We
were flying from Gatwick airport, and the flight was
overnight ... leaving Gatwick late at night, and arriving in
San Antonio the next morning, or that was the idea, anyway!
But when we arrived at the airport they told us that because
of bad weather in the Caribbean, the flight was delayed until
the next morning. So we had to spend the night at the
airport, sleeping on the floor, and we finally got on the
plane the next morning twelve hours late!
r:
But
that was just the beginning. On the plane they told us that
the bad weather over the Caribbean was actually a hurricane
-Hurricane George - and that we couldn't fly to San Antonio.
We had to go to the capital city instead, and stay in a hotel
there for the night, until the hurricane passed. Anyway, we
weren't too worried, we thought - well it's only one night...
and they told us that we were going to a five-star hotel,
next to the beach, with a swimming pool, so we were quite
happy at that point...
Part 2
м:
Anyway, we arrived at the hotel, the Hotel Paradiso it was
called, what a joke! They said it was a five-star hotel, but
I wouldn't give it one star! It was just awful.. I don't know
how to describe it... it was an awful building, yes, it was
next to the sea, but it wasn't a beach! Just a few rocks, and
the sea was so dirty you couldn't swim in it. There were big
ships travelling past, and the sea was all polluted and
brown, it looked horrible.
r:
So we
went to look at the swimming pool, but that was no better. It
wasn't a nice blue colour, like you'd expect. It was a sort
of greeny-black colour and as we looked at it we could see
things moving about in it, and we looked more closely and we
realised it was full of frogs. There were hundreds and
hundreds of frogs in it. So after that obviously we didn't
use it.
m:
And
then there was the food. Do you remember the food?
r:
I'll
never forget it! The first morning, we went downstairs for
breakfast, expecting to have you know, the usual things you
get in hotels, bread, marmalade, fruit, coffee, and we were
very surprised instead to see lots of different types of
vegetables, carrots, peas, cabbage and a big bowl of lettuce!
But anyway, I was really, really hungry so I decided to have
some of the lettuce until I saw that it was moving! The
leaves of lettuce were slowly moving around the bowl, and I
looked a bit more closely and saw that the lettuce bowl was
full of ants, hundreds of them, and there were so many that
they were actually moving the lettuce leaves! After that, we
didn't eat in the hotel again. We didn't want to.
m:
The
worst part though, was when the hurricane arrived. That was
really frightening. It was a fifteen-storey hotel so you felt
really terrified with all that wind, and rain, and the
windows banging, and the trees crashing outside.. It was
terrible.
r:
And
then they told us that because of the hurricane, there were
no flights to San Antonio, and that we had to stay there for
another three days, three more days in that place! There was
nothing to do! Nowhere to go! We couldn't eat the food! It
was noisy and dirty. We just couldn't believe that it could
happen.
m:
So when
we finally arrived in San Antonio, we were five days late.
And the worst thing was that Hurricane George had never
arrived there. The weather had been perfect in San Antonio
all the
time!

A Is there a
problem?
В
Yes. I'm sorry, but your US entry visa has expired.
A Can I get one in
New York?
В
No. You have to apply from outside
the USA.
A So I can't get on
this flight?
В
I'm afraid not. If we take you to New York, the
immigration authorities won't let you in.
A
I got in from Toronto late and I've missed my connection
to Newcastle.
В
If there's space, you can have a seat on the next flight.
A Good, but I
mustn't be in the smoking section. I'm allergic to smoke.
В
That's all right.
A What about my
luggage?
В
You don't have to do anything about that. We'll transfer
it to the plane for you.
A Thanks.
A I’m afraid it’s
overbooked.
В
But I booked last week.
A I'm very sorry.
В
Look. I must be in Paris by ten. If there's a seat in
economy, give me that.
A
I'm afraid the whole plane's full. The next flight doesn't
arrive till 935.
Is
that too late?
В
No, it's all right.
A I'll see if
there's a seat.
В
What happens if there isn't?
A
Don't worry. We'll get you a seat with another airline if
we have to.

Emma
Chris!
How was the holiday?
Chris
Don't
ask.
Emma
Why?
What happened? Wasn't it 'the holiday of
a lifetime'? Chris
It
was absolutely fantastic. We went everywhere - Disneyworld,
the Epcot centre, the
Kennedy
Space
Centre. The kids had a great
time, Amanda had a great time, and for once so did I ...
until
the last
day, anyway.
Emma
Why,
what happened?
Chris
We
got robbed! Would you believe we were robbed by highway
robbers. Highway robbers in
the
21st century! And they were very polite -
it was like a game to them.
Emma
Highway
robbers?
Chris
Yes,
it was really bad luck. We'd been really careful
during the holiday, and we never really
felt
at all uncomfortable. Everywhere we
went people were very polite, and friendly, and
helpful.
We just relaxed and enjoyed the holiday.
Emma
And?
Chris
Well,
it all happened on the way home. We were
driving to the airport - I'd finally got used
to
driving
on the wrong side of the road- when
suddenly a big old car bumped into
the back of us.
It
happened so fast - the
kids were thrown back into their seats and
Amanda screamed. I didn't
really
know what
was happening. Anyway, before I had time to
do anything, he bumped me
again.
I was
pretty angry, I can tell you. I stopped the car
and so did he. I wasn't really
thinking,
I just got out of the car and started calling him an
idiot. That's when I saw four big
guys
getting
out, and one of them had a baseball bat.
Emma
Ouch!
Chris
Exactly. I thought 'it looks like I'll be needing the
medical insurance after all', but no. The guy
with
the bat just said 'Now stay cool and you
won't get hurt. We'll just empty the trunk and
be
on
our way' It took me a second to realize
he meant the 'boot' and that he was going
to rob us.
Emma
You're
joking.
Chris
I wish I was. Anyway, they told Amanda and the
kids to stay in the car, not that they were
going
to get out, and told me to open the boot.
They took everything out of it - the luggage,
of
course,
our coats, even the spare tyre.
They didn't take our souvenirs and things-they
were
in
the back with the kids. And then they put everything into
their car and
drove off.
Emma
So
Amanda and the kids were OK?
Chris
Oh yes. We were all fine - a bit shaken up but fine.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive.
They
looked after us, got us to the airport
on time and so on, but it was a terrible way to end
the
holiday.

A:
Could
you have some ice, please?
B: Yes, of course.
I’ll send some up at once.

Put the kettle on,

opened it. You are irritated.)
I’m sorry to
trouble you. Could you do me a favour? (Your car has broken
down and you want a stranger to help you push it to the
garage. Be as polite as possible.)
Do you think you
could just sign this little piece of paper? (You are a
nervous insurance salesman)

Are you ready to order, sir? Man:
Yes, I think so. Darling? Woman:
I’ll have the vegetable soup to start… Waiter:
The vegetable soup. And to follow, madam? Woman:
The salmon with a salad. Waiter:
And for you, sir? Man:
I’ll have the vegetable soup too, please. Waiter:
Two vegetable soups. Man:
And I’ll have a steak, I think. Waiter:
How would you like it, sir? Rare, medium or well done? Man:
Very rare- blue if you can. Waiter:
Thank you very much, sir. Would you like to see the wine
list?

-Now,
have we got everything we need? -Well,
let's see. There are some onions and potatoes, but there
aren't any mushrooms and, of course, there isn't any minced
beef. -Are
there any carrots? -A
few. But we don't need many, so that's OK. -How
much milk is there? -Only
a little. And there isn't any butter, and we haven't got much
cheese. -Well,
we don't need much cheese. Is there anything else? -No,
not for Shepherd's Pie. We've got some salt and pepper, and
there's a lot of flour. Would you like to help me with the
shopping? -Yes,
please.
