problem.
1. It’s my first travel and I want everything to be perfect. But
how should I plan my trip? What to do first? I am concerned..
Can you help me?
Tip: give him advice on how to plan a trip.
2. My girlfriend and I are going on a long train trip. It’s going to
be about 2 days. How can we pass the time on a road? Do you
have any advice?
3. I’ve been robbed in the center of Paris! It’s ridiculous! I don’t
know what to do! I don’t have any cash and my passport also.
What should I do?
4. I am on a plane now and unfortunately, my neighbors are a
mother and a baby. I guess the baby is about 3 years old, and she
is definitely going to cry. My flight is 13 hours. What should I
now? (Find more than 4 ways out of this situation)
5. I bought a tour, and it seems to be perfect. On the photos it
looked great but for real it’s terrible! The hotel is not 5 stars as it
was promised. I don’t know what to do! Maybe I must ask for
refund? Can you help me?
6. We came to the Maldives for 14 days. It’s our first day here
it’s been raining all day and night. We checked the forecast and
next 10 days it’s going to be even a stormy weather. We didn’t
expect that. Locals say that nobody could predict it. What should
we do now? All day just sitting in a hotel?
7. We decided to go to a nice restaurant near our hotel. We
booked the table but the prices are too high. Pasta is 85$! Should
we leave?
