A terrible Holiday

I went to London a few years ago and it was the worst holiday I've had in my life. First of all,  I went with some friends: Angelina,  Almu and Leonor. We lived in different towns,so we decided to meet at the airport.
Almu was late and we missed the flight,  so we had to wait for hours to catch another flight. On the way to London,the flight was terrifying,  because it was so bumpy and Angelina vomited on the plane food.
When we arrived at the airport, a man stole Leonor's gloves, so she got cold on the way to the hotel. You may think that's not so bad, but it was.
We stayed in "The Moon" hotel, which was very basic.  The bathroom only had one shower and we were four people,so someone didn't have time to shower. The food wasn't very tasty and I didn't eat breakfast for four days.
We went sightseeing,  and one day we tried to visit a museum, but the guard stopped me because he thought that I was a terrorist, so I had to wait for my friends outside.
When we walked to Hyde Park,  Angelina got lost and we called  the police.  A few hours later, we found her in a lake: she wanted to take a photo of a swan and she fell in. So she came to the hotel and changed her clothes.
Later,  Almu was mean because she didn't pay for her food. When the holiday finished, Leonor,  Angelina and I argued with Almu,  and our friendship with her finished, because when we were sleeping Almu took our clothes and put them under the shower.
If you want to go on a holiday with some friends,  please think twice before doing so,  because your friendship will come to an end.

Hi, I'm going to talk about my terrible holiday. I went to Germany with my family. First, I missed the plane, I can't speak any German and it was very difficult to understand the people. We had  terrible weather, it was raining and cold, and we couldn´t see the monuments. And even worse: we lost all the money and had to come back to Spain sooner than expected!

A year ago I  went to a hotel. It was very bad because it didn´t have good rooms. The bedroom only had a bed, it didn´t have a TV and the wardrobe was very old. The food was good, but my sister was sick. I went to a big shop, but I didn´t buy anything. On the first day, I went to the swimming pool with my sister and it was terrible - the water was very dirty and hot. At night, I always went to a restaurant with my parents and my sister. I liked it because the food was really good, and the place was luxurious and very big. In the afternoon, I always read a book because the following month I had an exam. It was very boring. One night, at 1:45, there was a party, the music was very loud which  meant  I  couldn´t sleep. The following week, I went to my aunt´s house. My aunt´s dog bit my father´s leg. They went to the hospital while I stayed with my sister. When I came back home, I did the exam but the whole class failed it!

Last summer, I went to Germany but everything was bad. The first day, I went to the supermarket as I was out with the food, a thief appeared and stole my hotel keys. I was at the hotel reception for 3 hours. I was lucky because they remembered me. The second day, it rained all day so I couldn’t go out. The third day, it stopped raining, so I went out. I decided to take a ship but I was seasick so I couldn’t enjoy it, and it was so expensive. The fourth day, I met two friends, the only good thing of the travel. We went to the cinema and had a great time, but I forgot my wallet so I couldn’t buy popcorn and coke.  The fifth day was the last day. I arrived late at the airport, so I missed my flight, and had to wait there for 5 hours because I didn’t have any money to buy another ticket for an earlier flight. It was the worst holiday of my life.

Last winter, I went to China with my parents, to go sightseeing, to know more about the country and to learn more about the culture, too.We booked our plane tickets two months in advance, because we foresaw they were going to be expensive. The day before the flight, the plane broke down, so all the people there had to buy another ticket.When I was on the plane, the food was off, the flight was bumpy and I vomited. The flight was long, VERY VERY LONG! In my opinion, it was terrible!And then, when we landed, I couldn´t find my luggage!Suddenly, I saw a man who was carrying my bag, so I ran after him.Then, we got a taxi, but we couldn´t understand the driver, because he was talking in chinese!It was very expensive, too.We went to the hotel and, of course, we couldn´t understand anyone.Then, there was a problem: they didn´t remember that we had booked a room! After an hour, we could go to our room.Next day, we went sightseeing around the city, but then, we couldn´t find our hotel. When we found it, we couldn´t find the key either!We asked the recepcionist, and she brought us another one.I didn´t like the food in many restaurants, so we walked to the centre to find the “king of the restaurants”.At night, I couldn´t sleep very well, so the following day I was very tired.We went to very famous monuments and different touristic places.After a week, we left the hotel and went to the airport. We forgot the tickets in the hotel, so we had to go back.Then, we were on the plane again. The flight was bumpy again and the food was still horrible, too!Finally, we went home, and our “terrible holidays” finished.

Is food a pleasure for you?

I think it's a pleasure because food is necessary. We need to eat if we want to or not, so it's better to think of it as a pleasure.
Sergio de Juan Galán

No, because when I am eating I think about other things and not in the food. I sometimes like eating but only if when I like the meal a lot. I normally prefer the food my mum makes.
Sandra Gaona Duque

Yes, it is, especially when I am with the people I love. I can have fun while I am eating it. The thing is that after you eat, you sometimes feel bad but I think the mayority of times it is a pleasure.
Sara Ahmadieh Mena

In my opinion it is not a pleasure because food is necesary for our bodies. It isn´t something you can live without
Alejandro Doncel Cabezón

In my opinion, food isn't a pleasure. I normally don't like eating food. The main reason is because I'm  fussy, but also I don't enjoy food. So I think if eating wasn't necessary I wouldn't eat anything: It seems a waste of time to eat.
Miguel Ángel Piñero Vergara


Normally it isn't a pleasure because I think I will get fatter,but now it depends on the dishes and the moment of the day.But if it's dinner I prefer homemade food but at lunch I like variety of food,healthy or unhealthy food it's doesn't mutter.

STORY

I never thought that in a situation like that I wouldn't know how to react. There was so much blood on the floor and there was a man lying on top of it. His dead body was pale and of course he didn´t move. I thought about phoning the police but I didn't know the number. Suddenly a handsome man appeared from the dark. When he realised I had seen him he started to run away so I went after him. I did't know where I was going because I had just arrived in the city, but I felt the need to follow him. He had dark hair and he was well built and fit because he didn't look tired after half an hour. When I saw the gun he had in his pocket I decided that it was enough for that day. I guess I was scared because I went back to the hotel without thinking about it anymore.

Do you ever cook?

I hardly ever cook, but I think I should learn, because it's useful and I like cooking. Also who knows it may help me get a girlfriend.
Sergio de Juan Galán

I sometimes cook but only when my parents aren't at home or when I would like to prepare a dessert, I would like  to learn more. My grandmother would like to teach me. I like cooking pancakes.
Sandra Gaona Duque

Yes, sometimes I cook but only when my mother has to go to work and very simple things like an omelette. I would like to learn to cook more things but my mum doesn't want to teach me so...
Sara Ahmadieh Mena

Yes, I always cook at the weekend because I want my mother to rest.She always does everything. I think it is a good way to help her.
Alejandro Doncel Cabezón

Yes,I do but I need to learn more.My dishes are very bad,so it's better that my mother helps me.
If I go to Malaga,my sister will teach me to cook healthy food.

Do you spend more time with your family or with your friends?

I think that with my friends because I play with them at the weekend but I sometimes  play with my brother too. So in my opinion I spend more time with my friends rather  than  with my family. Even if I usually feel more at home with my friends. My family and I like to do somethings  together.
During the week I spend most of the time with my family because I normally go out with my friends at the weekend.I spend a lot of time with my family. Although  I spend more time with my friends because we are together at the High School for 6 hours fron Monday to Friday .They understand the way I think better .We are on the same wave length I´m bored with my family because I haven't got sibilings; it's the disadvantages of being the only child.I spend more time with my friends because I feel more comfortable with them. I play with them and do a lot of other things together.With my family, because I am always with them for about 17 hours and the other 5 with my friends.

Do children have more power now?

Yes, because parents now do what the children want therefore  they are so spoilt.Yes, nowadays children have more power because they are more spoilt than ten or twenty years ago.It depends on the parents if they are very strict with their children's up bringing. Also  the family are important . In my case, that doesn't happen. I always have to do what my parents say, even if I don't want to.Yes, children have more power now because this  generation are getting spoilt more than the others. Parents are less strict than 20 or 30 years.Yes, I think parents are materialistic these days for example. Now, the children say ''give me this'' and the parents give them it.

Are families less important nowadays?

I think yes, they are. Now children are more independent than before and they don't spend much time with their family. It depends I think the msot important things are family and my future.Yes, because children prefer to hangout with their friends.Yes, I think so, not always , but it usually happens nowadays. I don't know exactly why, but it happens. The children are more independent and they like to do things on their own.Yes, families are less important tahn 20 years ago. The msot important reason is that or the technology. With the new technologies you can do so many things, for example, you can chat with your friends or find some information. It makes life easier and faster, so children leave home earlier nowadays.Yes, I think everyone in the family is independent because they do things by themselves and met up at meal times.
