Read the first exchange in the dialogue below. What do you think happened to John? Listen, read and check.
Andy: Welcome back, John! How was your holiday?
John: Don’t ask! It was the worst holiday I’ve ever had.
Andy: In the Caribbean?
John: Yes. So many things went wrong!
Andy: Like what?
John: Well, for a start my friend left his passport
at home. We had to go home and fetch it,
so we missed our flight!
Andy: Oh no, how terrible! So what did you do?
John: Well, we caught the next flight ... which was delayed ... and then to make matters worse the airline lost my luggage.
Andy: Oh dear! Surely things were a bit better
when you got there.
John: I wish! It rained every day! No one told us
we were going in the rainy season!
Andy: What an absolute nightmare! Oh well, try
to look on the bright side - it’s not safe to
get a suntan these days anyway!
John: Huh! I’ll tell you what ... I’m staying at
home next year!
