Dear Emily,

How are you? I’m writing to tell you about my holiday. It’s a total disaster!!

The plane was ten hours late and we got here at 4 o’clock on Sunday morning! The next day I went to the beach for a swim. However, it’s miles from the hotel and it’s crowded. The sea is freezing and it’s polluted – there’s a chemical factory next to the beach!!!

The hotel is terrible too. In the brochure it said all the rooms had excellent views of the sea – from my room I can only see the hotel car park! The swimming pool was also lovely in the brochure – but it’s really very small and full of noisy children.

My room is terrible. It’s dirty and this morning I found a huge cockroach in the shower! And there is a noisy family next to me.

I’m eating a sandwich in my room at the moment, because the waiters in the restaurant are on strike. The food is dreadful. Yesterday, there was a snail in my salad – it was disgusting.

Well, it’s time for bed. I’d like a shower, but, of course, there’s no hot water tonight. And I can’t watch a film because the television doesn’t work.

I can’t wait to get home! See you soon!

George
