1. Read George’s email to Emily from his hotel in Los Angeles, California. A horrible time! Dear Emily, How are you? I hope you’re well. I’m writing to tell you about my holiday. It’s a total disaster! The plane was ten hours late and we got here at 4 o’clock on Sunday morning! The next day, I went to the beach for a swim. However, it’s miles from the hotel and it’s crowded. The sea is very cold and it’s polluted. The hotel is terrible, too. In the brochure, it said all the rooms had excellent views of the sea –from my room, all I can see is the hotel car park! The swimming pool was also lovely in the brochure – but it’s very small and full of noisy children. My room is terrible. It’s dirty and this morning I found an enormous cockroach in the shower! And there is a noisy family next to me. I’m eating a sandwich in my room at the moment because the waiters in the restaurant are rude and unfriendly. The food is quite bad, too. Well, it’s time for bed. I’d like to take a shower, but of course, there’s no hot water tonight. And I can’t watch TV because the television hasn’t worked since the Tuesday. On top of everything, I really miss my grandmother. I see her very often when I’m home and she makes the best food on the planet. She is also very clean... I can’t wait to get home! See you soon! George 2. Answer the questions (........... / 12): a. Why did George arrive at 4 o’clock on Sunday morning? b. Why is the hotel so bad?
