READING

Read the following messages and then fill in the table.

Dear James,

The hotel is wonderful! There is a beautiful park and lot of green surrounding it and at night you can’t hear a thing. It’s so relaxing. The waiters are very professional. The others guests are all over 40 and keep themselves to themselves. No one speaks during meals, so the dining room is delightfully quiet- isn’t that a nice change? The food is just what I like, very healthy with vegetables, fruit and fish every day. Love Marcia

Dear Sammy,

The hotel is terrible! There is a field full of insects and strange animals surrounding it and at night you can’t hear a thing . it’s so boring. The waiters are snobbish and the other guests are geriatric. They hardly ever speak to each other. Meal times are like a funeral- isn’t that awful? The food is just what I hate, without meat, chips or hamburgers. Love Monica
