Holiday Stories Track 70
I was in a foreign country for the first time in my life. It had sounded amazing in
the brochure: ‘Enjoy seven days in one of the most beautiful cities in the world
while staying at a luxury hotel.’
I had been excited about the trip, but now I wasn’t so sure. I had waited at
reception for fifteen minutes before someone checked me in. And my room was
small and dark, with a window looking over a car park. I tried to be positive and
I unpacked my bags. I decided to have a shower before going sightseeing.
However, the shower wasn’t working so I called hotel reception.
An hour later, an engineer arrived. He hit the pipes a few times. ‘Sorry, but I
cannot fix it today. Maybe, tomorrow.’ Then he held out his hand. He wanted a
tip for doing nothing! I was furious. But suddenly, I had a thought. He hadn’t
fixed my shower, but I gave him the money anyway. Two minutes later, I was at
the reception desk. I explained the problem to the hotel manager and gave him
a very large tip.
Fifteen minutes later, I moved into room 405. It was twice the size of room 308,
it had a wonderful view of the city, a comfortable bed and, most importantly,
there was water in the bathroom.

Here are some example sentences from a possible story:
My family and I went to Greece five years ago. When we got to the
airport, we realized we had forgotten our passports. Dad drove home
really fast and got the passports. The holiday was great until we
decided to rent a car for the day. We’d just visited an ancient temple
when we heard a loud noise. Somebody had driven into our car!

I = Interviewer, M = Madelaine
I: So, Madelaine. I know that you’re very excited about your new job. What is it
exactly?
M: I’m going to be a tour guide for a travel company.
I: OK. Why do you want to be a tour guide?
M: Well, I’ve always been interested in different countries and I’ve done a lot of
independent travel – last year I spent six months travelling on my own in South
America. So I know all about visiting new places.
I: But going travelling on your own isn’t the same as taking groups of tourists round
famous cities or taking them from one hotel to another. Aren’t you worried that it
might be a bit boring for someone like you?
M: Actually, it’ll be fascinating because the tour company specializes in adventure
holidays. My first tour is very exciting. I’m leading a group to the Galápagos
Archipelago, which is a place I’ve always wanted to visit.
I: That sounds amazing! So, who books these types of holidays?
M: They’re usually people who are bored of traditional sightseeing and want something
a bit different.

When tourists visit Europe, Paris is usually top of their list. It’s a city where you can
see some of the most famous art and architecture in the world. Most tour groups
start by going up the Eiffel Tower for a view of the city, or they visit a museum or art
gallery. After a busy morning, it’s time to find a good place to eat. There’s nothing
better than sitting outside a café or restaurant in Paris, watching people walking by,
and eating some of the best food in the world. The city is also famous for its fashion,
so after lunch it’s time for some shopping. And in the evening, there’s a huge number
of theatres and nightclubs to choose from.

Track 76
That’s the city that most tourists see when they visit Paris. But there is another
amazing part of Paris you could visit – and it’s underground. Paris has hundreds of
kilometres of tunnels. Tourists can visit part of these tunnels called the catacombs,
where over six million people were buried in the nineteenth century. ‘Normal’
tourists are allowed here, but you have to walk down two hundred steps and through
long, dark corridors to see the bones and skeletons. Some tourists have even paid to
stay down here overnight.
However, this public part of the tunnels is quite small. There are another 250
kilometres of the tunnels which are closed to the public. They are dangerous and the
police don’t want people to go down there. Nevertheless, a lot of people find their
way into these tunnels through secret entrances. The police often search the area
and once they found a cinema down here. It’s well known that art shows and theatre
performances sometimes take place in the tunnels, and that they are popular with
university students for parties.
There are ‘unofficial’ tours of the tunnels with tour guides like Dominique and Yopie
(not their real names). If you pay, they will take you deep underground. It’s no place
for anyone who is frightened of the dark or small places. The stone tunnels are small
and it’s easy to hit your head on the ceiling. After two hours you arrive in a room
which isn’t on any official map. Yopie and his friends built it. It’s comfortable and
clean with a table and chairs, and a bed. Yopie says there are many other rooms like
this under Paris. ‘Many people come down here to party, some people to paint. We
do what we want here.’

P = Ginao Penzo, M = Giovanni dal Missier
0.00–0.22 It is early morning in Venice.
Before the light of the sun fills the famous Piazza San Marco, the traders of Venice are preparing for
the crowds of tourists. In a few hours, thousands of people will come to this square. But for now, the
people of Venice have the city to themselves.
0.23–0.31 Market traders welcome the first visitors. ‘Signori, buon giorno.’ Early morning is the best
time for shopping in the outdoor markets.
0.32–0.37 P We have many, many kinds of fish.
00.38–0.49 This is the part of Venice that most people never see. This is the Venice that some
people call home.
0.50–01.01 Resident Fabrizio Copano says that he lives in the most beautiful city in the world. It’s a
city that’s clean and easy to live in, with a high quality of life.
1.02–1.07 But for some people, Venice has disadvantages, too.
1.08–1.17 P My son, he doesn’t love, uh, live in Venice. I am very sorry.
1.18–1.42 The population of Venice is getting older. Why? Fabrizio says living in Venice is not cheap.
Property is particularly expensive, and house prices have increased a lot in recent years. It’s
especially difficult for young people who want their own place to live. Many of them must move
away, which leaves Venice to the tourists.

Videoscript Living in Venice
1.43–2.01 It seems like the whole world has come to the Piazza San Marco. The tourists come to
experience a city that feels like it’s still in the fifteenth century. And some local people say that’s the
problem.
2.02–2.07 M Venice did change a lot since I was born.
2.08–2.20 Giovanni dal Missier is one of the younger people who is trying to stay in his home town.
During the day, the huge crowds of visitors can make just coming home from work very difficult.
2.21–2.27 M I get bored with the people, with the tourists. Because there are too much, too many.
2.28–2.42 Jobs are another problem. Do you want to be a gondolier or work with tourists? If you
don’t, it can be difficult to earn a living here. But some say that the young people who are leaving
Venice will soon find that other cities are not so different.
2.43–2.51 P Florence is very expensive, Rome is very expensive, London, Paris, Vienna.
2.52–3.07 People say that anyone who comes to Venice will fall in love … even if it’s only with Venice
itself. Giovanni dal Missier knows the feeling. He says that despite all the challenges here, it’s difficult
to think of living anywhere else.
3.08–3.21 M I know that it’s a very special gift that, for me, it’s a gift to live in a city as Venice.
3.22–3.44 Only a few people get to enjoy living in Venice. These days even fewer people are ready to
face the challenges of living here. But, for those who stay, it can be a wonderful experience.
3.45–end Every day they can experience the joy of falling in love with Venice all over again.

5 Vocabulary in context
Watch the clips from the video. Choose the correct meaning of the words
and phrases.
6 Work in pairs. Ask and answer these questions about a town or city you
know well.
1 Is it clean and easy to live in, with a high quality of life?
2 How expensive is property and housing?
3 Is it difficult to earn a living there?
4 Do you think young people are moving away? If so, why?
EXAMPLE ANSWERS
My home town has a great city centre near a river – there are cafés and
bars and a shopping mall so the quality of life is good. Cars aren’t allowed in
the centre so it’s clean.
Apartments in the centre are expensive, but there are cheaper houses in the
suburbs. There aren’t enough houses for young people and rents are high.
Young people are moving away because there aren’t enough jobs.
