Task 2

At a Travel Agent’s Last week a couple came into Jane’s travel agency to book a holiday for August. When Jane asked where they wanted to go, the women said she would like to go somewhere warm. Jane suggested that they go to Spain, where is very warm in August. She showed them a picture of a wonderful hotel. The man didn’t want to go to Spain. He said the food made him ill. So Jane suggested Tunisia, saying it was always warm in North Africa. But the women didn’t like sand.

The next suggestion was Italy. But the women said Italian wine always gave her a headache. When Jane then suggested Greece, the man got a little upset and said definitely no. He added that all Greek hotels were terrible. His neighbor went there and her hotel was only half-built. The swimming pool was not even finished so she couldn’t use it.

Jane found out that flying to Florida was not a good idea as the women hated flying long distance and the flight to America took 8 hours. After two hours of suggesting different countries, Jane suggested that they just stay at home. The couple thought this was a great suggestion and left the travel agency very happy.
