3) Reading
We went on this vacation to Mexico. I say “we” . I mean these two other girls and myself.
Girls I work with at the office. And ... and I thought...well...one of them was a friend of mine. At
least I’d always gotten along pretty well with her before...at the office. So I thought it would be fun.
I didn’t know the other girl that well.
Anyway, the three of us rented a small house not far from the beach in Acapulco, and we’d
agreed to share all the expenses. When we got there, the first night, I remember two of us, Sharon
75
and I, wanted to eat out in a restaurant. Sharon loves fish and it was a good seafood restaurant, and
I didn’t really care. I’m not that interested in food, but I thought it would be nice to go to a
restaurant. I mean, it was our first night. But the other girl, Alison, the one I thought I knew pretty
well, she didn’t want to go out to eat. She’d bought some canned food and things from this local
grocery store and she wanted to make dinner at the house, said it would be cheaper. And so we had
this big argument, and that was the way it was for the rest of the trip. Alison never wanted to eat in
any of the local restaurants, said it would be too expensive. She wanted to save money all the time.
And well, she turned out to be the worst kind of tourist. You know, didn’t want to learn a word of
Spanish. She didn’t even want to learn how to say “please” or “thank you” or things like that.
She was just awful. And she made our vacation really miserable.
It’s funny, isn’t it? You think you know someone and that you can get along with them.
And then, when you spend some time with them on vacation or something, you find out all kinds of
things that you didn’t know before...and that you don’t like.
Questions to be pointed out:
1- Have you ever had any kind of experience like this?
____________________________________________________________
2- Do you know any story like that had happened with any of your friends?
____________________________________________________________
3-What would you do if you were a friend of Alison in a situation like this?
____________________________________________________________
4- Do you think that we need to tolerate a situation like this only because the person is a friend of
work, and that after that things would not be the same at work?
4) Make a composition : what do you think about “ person that stoles to survive “
