😭Oh my god – what a holiday😭 (A2, past simple)

a vacation full of surprises

Last year, a man stayed in a small hotel. He wanted a quiet and comfortable vacation, but everything went wrong. The hotel looked nice outside, but the room was very different. The first problem was the fridge. It was very dirty and full of old food. The man tried to clean it, but it was difficult.

Next, he tried to take a shower. The water was very cold. He waited a long time, but it never became warm. He tried to wash quickly, but he felt very cold. The towel was also very small and old.

The bed was not comfortable. The mattress was very soft in some places and hard in other places. The pillow was flat and thin. He could not sleep well at night. There was also a loud noise in the hotel. The neighbors were very noisy, and the walls were very thin.

In the morning, he went to eat breakfast. The coffee was cold, and the bread was hard. He tried to eat slowly, but it was difficult.

Even with all these problems, he tried to enjoy the hotel. He walked outside and saw a nice garden. He took photos and smiled. At the end of his stay, he was tired but happy because he could laugh 17172

at all the problems.
