Dear Rebecca
I'm on holiday, but I'm having (have) a terrible time! I (1) (stay) in a very expensive hotel but the staff (2) (be) rude and the food's horrible! The weather's lovely, but the air conditioning (3) (not work) and they (4) (still build) the swimming pool! In the mornings, I usually (5) (travel) to other places on the island, but today the buses (6) (not run). It's not all bad though. At the moment I (7) (be) the beach, and I (8) (listen) to the sound of the waves on the sand. Fantastic!

See you soon!
Lisa
