2.1 We booked a holiday
We walked to the hotel
We sunbathed
We argued all day
They rented a house
We decided to go to Sweden.
2.3 Presenter Hello and welcome to today’s Holiday Programme. Today we’ve asked you to call in with your holiday horror stories – holidays where things went wrong. Our first caller today is Sean from Belfast. Hi Sean.
Sean Hello.
Presenter So where was this holiday?
Sean Well, this didn’t happen to me, it happened to my aunt and uncle, last summer.
Presenter Where did they go?
Sean To Ibiza.
Presenter A fantastic place for a holiday.
Sean Yes, fantastic place if you’re seventeen – but they’re nearly seventy!
Presenter Oh…
Sean And they wanted a quiet holiday, a relaxing holiday – you know. They like walking in the countryside, sitting on quiet beaches – things like that. They don’t go abroad very often, but they wanted to do something different.
Presenter So why did they choose Ibiza? It’s the party island.
Sean Yes, it is now but they didn’t know that. You see, they first went to Ibiza in the late sixties, when it was a beautiful, peaceful island with traditional cafes and restaurants, deserted beaches. And this was exactly what they wanted. So they looked on the Internet – my uncle loves his computer – and they booked a hotel for a week in the same part of the island where they’d been before. And they found some cheap flights. It all seemed so perfect.
Presenter So what happened?
Sean You can imagine. It was a complete disaster. Their hotel was in San Antonio, a resort that’s full of bars and discos. There was music until 5.00 in the morning, noise of car doors opening, motorbikes, and people shouting. They couldn’t sleep at all. They were too tired to do anything during the day. They tried to get some sleep, but they couldn’t because it was too hot. When they came home they were in a state of shock.
Presenter Oh dear – What are their plans for this year?
Sean I don’t know. I think they’ll probably stay at home this year …and next year… and probably the year after that…
Presenter Thank you Sean. And now…

Marinette We didn’t know that our picture was so famous until thirty years later. One day I was working in the cafe when the man from the bookshop next door came in. He was holding a new book which had a photo on the cover. Suddenly I said, ‘ I don’t believe it! That’s Henri and I when we were very young!’ I remember that afternoon at the Bastille very well. When the man took that photo we were arguing! Henri was standing very near me. I was saying, ‘Henri, don’t stand so near me, there is somebody behind us.’
Henri We didn’t know that the photographer was taking a photo of us. We were arguing. I can’t remember exactly what we were arguing about. I think I was trying to kiss Marinette and she didn’t want to. Or I think maybe we were arguing about our wedding – we got married a few months after the man took the photo.
Marinette People who know this photo always think of us as the eternal lovers, like Romeo and Juliet. But life isn’t like that. It’s very difficult to stay in love when you see your husband every day at home and you see him every day at work too. And I’m very hard-working but Henri is still a dreamer. Ah, those were the days…
