take the room, certain you’ll be able to swap it later?
The restaurant at your hotel turns out to be ridiculously expensive. Do you:
eat without worrying because, after all, you are on holiday?
pay up, but moan continuously? j
decide to go on a diet for the duration of the holiday? 1
find a cheaper restaurant a couple of streets away?
The weather is awful. Do you:
see if there’s any chance of an earlier flight home?
І» В. stay in your room and listen to music on your personal stereo?
organise trips to museums and art galleries until it gets better?
make for the beach anyway? (You once read an article that said the sun can tan you even through thick clouds.)
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 lip for lunch. Do you:
go back to the restaurant, certain they’ll give you a refund once you explain what’s happened?
curse all foreigners and never leave another tip all holiday?
shrug your shoulders and write it off to experience?
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.

Having tried all the restaurants, you are forced to acknowledge that the local cuisine is appalling. Do you:
feel thankful that at least the fruit and salads are delicious, and resolve to stick to them?
complain bitterly, and eat lots of ice-cream and sweets between meals — even though neither is particularly appetising?
give up on the local cuisine and go on a crash diet?
reckon you’ve just been unlucky so far, and give the restaurants another try?
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:
talk only to your holiday companion and feel glad you both brought books?
bitterly regret your mistake and spend the day in a bad mood?
single out anyone who looks in the least bit ‘your type’ see if you can start a conversation?
make yourself the life and soul of the party?
When you go away on holiday, do you:
hardly think about what’s going on at home from the ment you arrive until the moment you return?
know there’s absolutely no point in worrying about things home because there’s nothing you can do about them? j
wake up most mornings worrying about how on earth th< are managing at home without you?
send postcards to a few close friends during the secon week?
ROLE PLAY
Communication game uBucket shops”
Type of activity: information search
Function practised: asking for and giving factual information
Lexical areas: travel and transport
Problem vocabulary: destination, frequency, inclusive, package tour, round trip, best deal, stop-over, break a journey.
How to use the game
The class should be divided into two halves. Half the class are travel agents, belonging to four rival firms; the other half are prospective travellers looking for information. Move the furniture around in your classroom, set up a ‘High Street’ with four travel agents’ shops at adjacent desks in one area of the room. You might like to make signs with names on them that the ‘travel agents’ can place on the desks to identify the shops. .
• Divide up your ‘travel agents’ among the four firms: two or three or so to each shop and give each of them the information sheet relevant to their firm.
• Divide your ‘travellers’ into two or three teams depending on many students you have, allocate each team a ‘home base’ ferably in a different area of the classroom from the travel mts’ ‘High Street’, and give each team a list of questions to an- ИИГ.
The object of the game is to answer all the questions on the Мме t; the team which does so correctly in the shortest time is the Winner. For each team, one member should remain at ‘home base’ With the list of questions, allocating questions to the other members 9f the team, sending them out on fact-finding missions, and collecting the information as it arrives. Apart from that, it is up to the students how they organise their information collection: some teams will inevitably devise better systems than others!
