Dear Irene,
We have arrived at your apartment. We picked up1 the keys from the neighbours without any

password2. Could you send it to us? Also, the listing3 said that there was an iron4 in the kitchen,
but we can’t see it. Can you let us know where it is? Finally, it’s very cold and we can’t find the
instructions for the central heating5. Where do we switch it on6?
Where’s the nearest supermarket? And can you recommend7 a nearby8 restaurant for dinner?
Somewhere cheap would be great!

51 Holidays by the sea
A The beach
cliff
beach
waves rocks
sand
Many people spend their holiday at the coast [the land close to the sea], where there are a lot of
seaside resorts [towns by the sea for tourists] and they can go to the beach every day. Generally people
prefer beaches that are sandy [with lots of sand], where you can go for a stroll [a casual walk] along the
shore [the place where the sea meets the land] in the sunshine [when it is sunny]. On the beach, you also
sometimes get a breeze [a nice gentle wind] that blows off the sea.
B Beach activities
surfing windsurfing diving playing volleyball sunbathing

Volleyball is a popular beach game and some people enjoy water sports such as surfing,
windsurfing or diving. If the sea is calm1, you can go for a swim, but a lot of people just want to
lie on the beach and sunbathe and get a nice (sun)tan2. However, there are now worries about
the dangers of sunbathing. People who lie in the sun without any protection3 can get sunburn4,
and worse still, they are at risk of 5 getting skin cancer. Doctors now recommend6 that people do
not sit in the sun without using sunscreen7. It may be safer just to sit in the shade8.

coffee], a drink (often an alcoholic drink, e.g. wine, beer). We can also have a swim, a coffee, a
drink.
We went for a drive along the coast. I had a coffee at Caffé Nero. Let’s go for a drink tonight.

69 Greetings, farewells and special expressions
A Greetings*
When we are introduced to a stranger [told the name of someone we have never met] in a formal
situation, we usually shake hands and say hello, or perhaps hello, nice to meet you. In an
informal situation, we usually just say hello or hi.
When we greet friends, there are no real rules in Britain. Men may kiss female friends [girls/
women] on one cheek [side of the face], on both cheeks, or not at all. Women may kiss male
friends and female friends once, twice, or not at all. We usually say things like this:
A: Hello. How are you? B: Fine, thanks. How about you?
A: Hi. How’s it going? / How are things? (infml) B: Not (so) bad, thanks. And you?
* saying hello
B Farewells*
To someone we have just met for the first time we can say Goodbye. Nice to meet you.
With friends we can say bye, cheers (infml), take care (infml), or see you (soon/later/
tomorrow, etc.).
When we say goodbye to a school or work friend on Friday afternoon we usually say:
A: Have a nice weekend.
B: Yeah, same to you. (NOT same for you)
* saying goodbye
C Expressions for special situations

Excuse me, could I just get past? It’s your exam today, isn’t it?
Good luck. Thanks, I’ll need it.
Yes, of course.
Sue found my wallet Oh, thank

Cheers.
and my credit cards. goodness for that.
Bless you. I hear you passed your

exam. Congratulations. Thanks.
Achoo!
Language help
We use Thank goodness when we are happy that something bad did not happen. A synonym is
Thank God (infml), but there are some people who may not like the use of this expression. We can
use Goodness on its own to express surprise, e.g. Goodness, is it ten o’clock already?
