READING

1 Read the article from a travel magazine and tick () A, B, or C.

My holiday disaster
Although I work in the centre of London now, I like going to the mountains when I
can. Last winter I decided to spend a week in Scotland. I wanted to go skiing and
walking in the mountains. I looked on the internet and booked a cottage (a small
house) for a week. One Friday night last November, I packed my bags, went to
Heathrow airport, and waited to get on a plane to Inverness.

Then the problems started. The plane didn’t leave that night. There was a lot of
snow in Scotland and they closed Inverness airport. So I spent the night in
Heathrow. I drank a lot of tea and read a lot of newspapers. I tried to sleep but I
wasn’t comfortable. Next morning, Inverness airport opened again, and we arrived
in Scotland. But my bags weren’t there.

I hired a car and drove to the cottage. It was a twenty-minute drive from the airport.
When I arrived, there was a family with two little children in the cottage! They
booked on the internet, too – for the same week. The family was very kind. They
said I could sleep in the lounge, and they cooked dinner for me.

Next day, I got my bags from the airport and decided to go skiing. But the mountain
road was closed because of the snow. I didn’t ski and I didn’t go walking in the
mountains. I spent the week in the cottage waiting to go home – it wasn’t my
favourite holiday!

family took me there, personally, I didn’t want
to go, USA is not a country that I like that
much due to many reasons but before I was
able to reject the travel I was already in the

Disney world.

SPEAKING

1 Answer these questions.

1 Do you enjoy taking photos when you go on holiday? Why (not)?
I do enjoy them when I take them by myself because I can capture what I want, but if
someone else wants to take a photo of me, I feel uncomfortable.
2 What’s your favourite photo from when you were young? Can you describe it?
To be honest, I don’t have a favourite photo since I always appear mad in them because
I hated how annoying my family was with photos.

The best photo that I’ve ever taken is one in the procession of the Lord of Miracles, I
was able to capture a huge crowd praying at him thanks to my higher position in a
building, it was amazing.
