Lesson 16 Just the ticket
Sharon
|
Good afternoon. Is there anything I can do for you?
|
|
Liam
|
You don’t sell train tickets here, do you?
|
|
Sharon
|
That depends where you want to go. Are you planning to .. 1 .. anywhere in Europe? Because I
can book Eurostar trips, arrange your .. 2
.. and everything.

Oh yes, it’s one of our customers’ favourite holidays, that one. You

jumping and .. 15 .. to the
sounds!’ You can .. 16 .. and play
with them, according to this.

Over £1000 per person, because it .. 17 .. five-star hotels, the cost of the flights .. 18 ... But you’re not really
interested, are you?

No, I saw a pretty girl’s face in the window and I didn’t know the way
to the station.

Well now you know, so ... goodbye.

I’ve enjoyed talking to you. I’m Liam. Maybe we could have a drink? I
could tell you what I think about your ecotours.

Huh! That has to be the worst chat-up line I’ve ever heard ... but ...
OK. I’ll think about it.

Dear Sir
|
|
I was shocked to read about tourism prizes in your
newspaper last weekend. It was in fact an .. 10 .. feature for a .. 11
.. travel company. This so-called ecotour agent offers wildlife holidays to
exotic places, .. 12 .. adventure
and conservation.

It is my opinion that we should not pollute the .. 13 .. with .. 14 ... We should not .. 15
.. .. 16 .. or holiday
accommodation and spoil beaches or forests. Our society has many problems
like litter from .. 17 ..
packaging. We should not take our problems to these destinations and ruin the
rivers and coral reefs. In some countries, tourists have brought .. 18 .. and caused .. 19 .. to the .. 20 .. people.

Dear Sir

I was not surprised to see your reader’s letter
about ecotourism. It was .. 23 ..

fly anywhere, but there is no reason why other people should stop flying.

schools.

I agree that people in this country have to start

holidays on offer.
