10) READING:

A. Time, 20 student from Manchester

When I was a teenager I went on holiday with my parents to Brittany in

France. My parents rented a lovely house on the beach, and the
weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my
mum and dad and my little brother. I wanted to be with my friends. We went
to the beach every day and sunbathed and we went to a
fantastic seafood restaurant for my birthday. But I was miserable and I
hated every minute of it. I didn’t smile once in two weeks. What really
made me furious was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to
Spain with her friends.

B. Gabriela, 28, marketing manager from Rome

I’m from Rome and the summer here is really hot. So last year my husband
and I decided to go to Sweden, to escape from the heat. We booked a 10-day
holiday in Stockholm, where the temperature in the summer is normally
about 20 degrees. But when we got to Stockholm there was
a heatwave and it was 35 degrees every day. It was awful because there
wasn’t air-conditioning anywhere. We could not sleep at night. – it was
boiling in the hotel, and in the shops and museums too.  We didn’t want to
go shopping or go sightseeing or do anything. We were too hot to do any
activity. We just sat in cafés and argued all day. I think we didn’t need to
go to there to do that!

C. Kelly, 26, TV journalist from Belfast

Three years ago I broke up with my boyfriend and I decided to go on

holiday on my own to the Seychelles. My travel agent told me that it was a
wonderful place. But he didn’t tell me that it was also a very popular place
for people on their honeymoon. Everywhere I looked I saw couples holding
hands and looking romantically into each other’s eyes! The travel agent also
said it was always sunny there – but the weather was terrible – it was
cloudy and very windy. To pass the time I decided to do a diving
course (one of my lifetime ambitions). But it was a complete disaster
because the first time I went under the water I had a panic attack. I could
not escape from the island so I spent an incredibly boring and expensive
two weeks in “paradise”.
