12. Talk about unfortunate experienceof a holiday arranged though a travel agency.
First of all I’d like to say that traveling is necessary for all of us as it’s a kind of relaxation and a good opportunity to relax your body, renew your energy and refresh your spirits. Many people adore visiting beautiful places and look forward to going on holiday just to escape daily grind of work and day-to-day pressures and get away from their usual sources of stress. Sometimes you need a change and you are waiting for a holiday with some travel agency, which cost you a fortune, pack your suitcases, board the plane and get to the place of destination. But what you see there is far from your expectations. Your holiday turns out to be a complete disaster and you can’t avoid to get back home.
Fortunately, I personally have never experienced such holidays but I know that many people face a problem like this. Let’s take Ms Hopkins for instance. The Hopkins booked the holiday through a local travel agent. What they wanted was a quiet little hotel near the beach for their kids and their agent recommended the Hotel Solara which looked just they wanted in the brochure. But when they arrived at the airport they were met by the tour representative who was nice and apologetic, but she said that she was taking them to another hotel because the Solara was booked up. The Hopkins went along with it. But the hotel wasn’t what they wanted. Fist, it was far more expensive, but not a bit personal, just like a factory and it was miles from the beach and besides it was very noisy at night. The kids used to wake up and the hotel was not for a family at all. The Hopkins complained several times but in the end just came home early. What is more they had to pay extra for the flight. Mrs. Hopkins was very disappointed and thought that the travel agency ought to give her money back.
Mrs. Hopkins is not the only person who had such an experience. And in spite of the fact that there are so many travel agencies today, unfortunately, not all of them can guarantee that the hotel will not be overbooked.
13 Give a comparative description of some ancient english towns.
To start with I should say that Britain is a fabulous country, a country of startling beauty and diversity, it’s really worth exploring, visiting and living in. It’s packed with exiting places to go and interesting place to discover. Everyone who comes to England is fascinated by its magnificent, picturesque, breathtaking and inviting towns where past and present exist side by side. Some of the ancient towns in England are Salisbury, Caernarfon, Durham and Liverpool.
Salisbury was one of earliest new-towns. It was founded in 1220. the most striking features is the cathedral which was founded at the same time as the town. It is thought to be one of the most beautiful in Europe, the cathedral is 473 feet long. Salisbury is a market town and a shopping centre, for the large number of military bases. It’s also a tourist center, because of the cathedral, old town and Stonehenge, which is 10 miles in north-west of the city.
Caernarton has always been an important strategic and military site. The Romans built a castle here in 78 AD. The castle is one of the finest surviving castle in Britain. The town is a market center and a tourist center for the Snowdonia National Park. It’s also famous for sailing and fishing.
Durham is built on a bend in the river Wear and it grew around the Norman castle which was built in 1072 to protect England from the Scots. The religious school developed from 15th century, eventually becoming the University of Durham. It’s England’s third oldest University, after Oxford and Cambridge. D is administration and market center.
Liverpool is one of the Br’s largest cities. It’s most famous inhabitants are probably: John Lennon, Paul MacCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star, there is a museum of THE BEATLES. L developed quickly in the 18th and 19th centuries, as Br’s major Atlantic port. It was also a center for a cotton trade and manufacturing industry. There are 2 20th century cathedrals here: one church of England and the other Roman Catholic. L is a cosmopolitan city. Today is well-know for the wit and humour of its people and its high unemployment figures.
As you can see, every ancient town in England has something to offer a visitor and has attractions of its own.
