READING (5 Marks)
Read the emails and answer the questions:

Hi Dan,
Mike and I arrived in Barcelona on Saturday. The first night we were in a self-catering apartment near
the beach. I didn't sleep well because it was too noisy, so yesterday I moved to a hotel in the city Centre.
Mike stayed at the apartment because it's quite cheap. My hotel's very comfortable and quit and it's got
Spanish TV, so I can practice my Spanish in the evenings.
Yesterday Mike came with me to the Picasso Museum. I thought it was fantastic, but he wanted to leave
after an hour. He said it was boring, so we went to the beach and met some local people and he talked
to them for almost three hours …that was boring! Of course, he spoke in English because he doesn't
know much Spanish.
Last night I wanted to go to a restaurant to try the local food, but Mike said it was too expensive. We
went to a cheap snack bar and the food was awful.
Hope you're well.
Tim

Hi Lucy,
Tim and I are here in beautiful Barcelona. I'm in a self-catering apartment near the beach. It's not very
comfortable, but I only go there to sleep.
The first night there was a party next door and I danced until 3 a.m. Tim said it was too noisy and he
moved into a hotel in the city Centre . He stays in his room in the evenings and watches TV! Can you
believe it – watching TV on holiday !?
Yesterday we went to the Picasso Museum. Well, it was Ok … for about an hour … but Tim wanted to
stay there all day! You know me … I like relaxing on the beach and meeting people – yesterday I met
some great people from Madrid and we Chatted all afternoon.
Tim always wants to eat in expensive places, but I like buying food from shops and eating it on the
beach. Last night we went to a snack bar. The food was terrible .
