HOLIDAYS
PLAN THEM IN TIME!
Last summer I were on holiday to Italy, but I wish I hadn’t spent it there. The hotel I stayed at was ina downtown area and it didn’t have all the facilities I had expected. I wish had stayed at a seaside hotel in order to avoid all that terrible nois from the heavy traffic! To be honest, I’d rather have gone somewere else to spend my holiday. Anyway, I admit it was my fault because if I hadn’t made alle the arrangements at the last minute, I would have enjoyed my stay.
This summer I wish things would be better. It’s time I planned my holiday and arranged everything in due time before it is too late again!
