WISH TOU WERENT HERE!

By Charles Hope
Have you had a holiday where something or everything went wrong? Everyone wants to
have a good time when they go on holiday, and it can be very upsetting when the dream
holiday that youve saved up for and looked forward to all year turns into your worst
nightmare. Here are some bad experiences and problems from readers holidays.
You can just imagine the scene. We had just finished a lovely picnic in a remote mountain
forest in central France. Relaxed and happy, we made our way back to the road where we had
left our car, only to discover that we had lost the keys! It was getting dark and there wasnt a
soul around. I dont think we had ever felt so terrified! None of our mobile phones had any
reception so we just had to wait. Eventually, hours later, we heard the sound of a car coming
along the road. Amazingly, the car was the same model as ours and we waved frantically for
the driver to stop. He tried his key in the boot lock and magically, it opened, revealing the
keys. They must have slipped out of my pocket. I cant tell you how relieved we felt! (Katy
Banks)
We were going on holiday to San Diego, USA. Wed booked the holiday online six months
earlier and I hadnt bothered to check our passports. Id just assumed everything was OK. So
you can imagine my surprise when we were told at the check in desk that we couldnt fly
because our sons passport was out of date. My wife and daughter checked in and off they
went. Nick and I rushed home, got his birth certificate and tried to get a new passport. There
was a huge queue at the Passport Office, so I pushed to the front and cried, My familys gone
on holiday and my son urgently needs a new passport! Within an hour we had his passport.
We rushed to the airport, but they told us we were too late and the next flight was at 5 a.m. at
this point I lost my temper. We spent the rest of the day wandering around the duty free. We
Lp Ting Anh Ms. H /C: 106 - C5 - Ging V

finally arrived at our destination twenty hours later, exhausted but relieved that we could start
our holiday. (Nigel Barker)
When we arrived at the resort, we were very happy. The hotel was nice and the staff were
polite and friendly. The beach looked fantastic, too lovely white sand and not soul in sight.
Then we found out why. As we were walking along the beach we noticed a sign warning
people against swimming in this area. There was nasty smell to go with it. We had to spend
the entire holiday round the hotel pool instead of swimming in the sea. We were very
disappointed. (Bob & Steve)

MIND YOUR MANNER!

Do you ever speak with your mouth full of food? Do you forget to cover your mouth with
your hand when you sneeze? If you are guilty of these crimes, then perhaps you should
enroll on an Etiquette and Social Skills course. This is not just an ordinary course. Its a course
in manners. You will have lessons in good manners and how to behave in social situations.
The person who teaches these lessons is Maggie OFarrill at the Petite Protocol School, and
her students are aged between six and twelve years old. She thinks this is the best time to
teach kids. At this age they are very easy, OFarrill says. When they get older, its harder
for them to break bad habits. Children at this age want to be polite. You can see that theyre
trying.
Maggie instructs the children to speak properly on the phone and walk correctly, as well as
telling them about basic table manners. These classes have become popular because parents
want well-behaved children but they are too busy to teach manners at home.
So, what do the children actually think of this course? The classes have proven to be
popular with most of the children, and their teachers at school have noticed that the
youngsters are treating each other with more respect. They also feel the skills they have
learnt will be useful to them in the future. Danny, aged nine, commented, If I get invited to
the White House, I know I wont spill anything on the President.
Maggie OFarrill herself believes that such skills can be life-changing. Well have children
growing up who value manners. Maybe well see a change in direction for the better in
society. That, however, remains to be seen. Only time will tell.
