The Food Is Bad
Lise, Nick and Bill had gone out walking for the day. Nick got back about six. "Havent Bill and Lise arrived yet?" he asked. "I thought they were ahead of me. . . "
It was 7. 30 when Bill and Lise came in. The others were just finishing supper. " Where on earth have you been?" Nick asked.
"Well tell you all about it after supper," Bill said. "Wed better go and get our food. The wardens alreatly told us that were late. . . "
After supper, the group sat around talking.
STEVE: Ugh ! The food here really is bad. My soup was cold. And the meat-huh! -it was like
leather!
LtsE: Yes, and they dont give you very much, either. Im still hungry. Are hostels in
England always as- badas this?
Anna: I havent stayed in one for ages. But Im sure this
one is especially bad. And the warden is so unpleasant. . .
MALC: "Dont do this, dont do that. You mustnt do this, you cant do that. . . "
STEVE: WEll, Im going to write a letter of complaint. To the Secretary of the Youth
Hostels Association!
LIsE: And well all help you. . .
