 Reading Comprehension – A Holiday

Anna: “I’m planning my holiday for next summer and I don’t know whether I should
have a lazy holiday or an exciting one. Last year I went on holiday to southern Spain
with my best friends, Joanna and Ling. We stayed in a brilliant four‐star hotel, which
had three swimming pools. It was quite expensive but we really enjoyed ourselves and
we all got great suntans! This year, Joanna is going away with her parents to Greece
so it’ll be just Ling and me. Ling wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa, the
type where you have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it
would be interesting and better than having a lazy holiday because we would learn
about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to
go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not trekking across the
middle of nowhere. Ling said that we’d see elephants and zebras and have some
amazing experiences. I think she’s bored of lying in the sun all day and fancies a
change. I’ve got to make up my mind by next Monday at the latest so that she can
book the tickets. It would cost £1,400 each to go to Africa, but less than half that
amount for two weeks in Portugal.”
