1. The Smiths' holiday
Last year the Smiths decided to spend their summer holiday in Cornwall. They chose to stay in a self-catering flat in a private house near the beach. Self-catering flats, cottages and villas are becoming more and more popular. Many people like the privacy and independence from hotel routine; it is also cheaper for faml-
lies with children. The Smiths had found the flat through the advertisement in the newspaper. Like all sensible people, they had booked the flat six months in advance, since they knew that if they delayed, they would find that the whole of Cornwall had been booked up.
They left London early in the morning and were soon on the motorway to the west. But the sun was already setting when they at last reached the little seaside town. They were all exhausted as they got out of the car in front of a four-storeyed house on the sea front.
Peggy: Look at all that sand, children! Tomorrow, Daddy will help you build a sandcastle — two sandcasles, won't you, Daddy? Ian: We'll see! Just now I want my supper — and a wash. Come on! Let's get Inside.
Landlady: Good evening, madam. What can I do for you?
Peggy: My name's Smith. We've booked your upstairs flat.
Landlady: Smith? Ah, yes! I'm afraid there's been a mistake, madam. You booked for next Friday.
Ian: Oh Lord! I told you not to let mother do the booking for us!
Peggy: All right, Ian. Is there anywhere else, do you think?
Landlady: In August, madam? I'm terribly sorry, but the whole town's been booked up. I'm afraid you won't find a room anywhere.
Ian: Not even a bed and breakfast place?
Landlady: You might possibly find a farm if you went inland.
Peggy: We want to be by the sea — because of the children.
Landlady: Then I don't know what to suggest. There's a caravan park two miles along the coast, but I'm sure it's full. Or there's a Butlin's Holiday Camp.
Ian: No, thank you! We want some peace and quiet. We've been twelve hours on the road. We're exhausted.
Landlady: Well... I'm sure we can do something for the children.
They can sleep in my lounge. But I'm afraid we can't help you and your wife.
Peggy: Oh, that's all right! We can sleep in the car tonight. Cheer up, Ian! And tomorrow we shall make up something.
