Quiz

Task 3. Work with a partner. Imagine you have booked a two-week package tour together, staying in a foreign seaside resort. Discuss the following questions and mark the answers which your partner chooses.

What kind of traveller are you?

1 There is no sign of your luggage when you arrive at your destination in the middle of the night. Do you:

a think what a terrible start to the holiday and decide to stay at the airport until it turns up?

b take a telephone number and ring back in the morning?

c do nothing and wait for the courier to son things out?

d grab a taxi and tell the drive to take you to the nearest all-night discotheque?

2 At the hotel, you are shown a room which has neither the balcony nor the sea view which you've asked for and paid for. Do you:

a take what you're offered for the moment, but determine to get what you want in the morning?

b refuse to accept the room and camp in the lounge?

с smile and turn up the volume on your personal stereo (you knew things would go wrong)?

d take the room, certain you'll be able to swap it later?

3. The restaurant at your hotel turns out to be ridiculously expensive. Do you:

a eat without worrying because, after all, you arу on holiday?

b pay up, but moan continuously?

с decide to go on a diet for the duration of the holiday?

d find a cheaper restaurant a couple of streets away?

4. The weather is awful. Do you:

a see if there's any chance of an earlier flight home?

b stay in your room and listen to music on your personal stereo?

с organise trips to museums and art galleries until it gets better?

d make for the beach anyway? (You once read an article that said the sun can tan you even through thick clouds.)

5 Doing the accounts at the end of the day, you realise that you handed over a 200 instead of a 20 denomination note as a tip for lunch. Do you:

a go back to the restaurant, certain they'll give you a refund once you explain what's happened?

b curse all foreigners and never leave another tip all holiday?

с shrug your shoulders and write it off to experience?

d have an enormous meal at an expensive restaurant to show that you won't let your holiday be spoilt by a little thing like money.

6. Having tried all the restaurants, you are forced to acknowledge that the local cuisine is appalling. Do you:

a feel thankful that at least the fruit and salads are delicious, and resolve to stick to them?

b complain bitterly, and eat lots of ice-cream and sweets between meals - even though neither is particularly appetising?

с give up on the local cuisine and go on a crash diet?

d reckon you've just been unlucky so far, and give the restaurants another try?

7. You go on a whole-day coach trip with regular stops for drinks, meals and sightseeing. The rest of the party don't look like the sort of people you'd mix with at home. Do you:

a talk only to your holiday companion and feel glad you both brought books?

b bitterly regret your mistake and spend the day in a bad mood?

с single out anyone who looks in the least bit 'your type' and see if you can start a conversation?

d make yourself the life and soul of the party?

8 When you go away on holiday, do you:

a hardly think about what's going on at home from the moment you arrive until the moment you return?

b know there's absolutely no point in worrying about things at home because there's nothing you can do about them?

с wake up most mornings worrying about how on earth they are managing at home without you?

d send postcards to a few close friends during the second week?

INTERPRETATION: There are at least four different ways of behaving on holiday. From the four possible answers to each question in the questionnaire, can you tell what they are? Discuss your ideas with your partner. Then find out the answer by turning to page 76.
