Good morning, everyone, and thank you for asking me to make this presentation. I’m going to describe three islands in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef - they are Hamilton, Heron, and Bedarra. These islands offer a range of accommodation and activities suitable for the different types of people you want to send on this holiday.

First, some general information about Hamilton. It’s the largest of the islands, and it has the widest choice of activities. It’s the most popular island for young people and has a lively nightlife. It offers more accommodation than the other two islands - there’s accommodation for 1,400 people. Prices are high. It has more facilities than the two other islands - lots of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shops. It also has the best choice of sporting activities - all the water sports, as well as tennis and golf. So, Hamilton is the biggest and liveliest island, and it offers the most activities.

The second island, Heron, is quieter and more relaxing than Hamilton. It’s a national park, and it’s a wonderful place for anyone interested in bird- watching. There is accommodation for 250 people, and prices here are lower than on Hamilton. It has only one restaurant and there are no bars or nightclubs. For people who are interested in scuba- diving and snorkelling this island is more exciting than the others because Heron is actually part of the Great Barrier Reef, so when you swim around Heron, you see the thousands of different kinds of tropical fish that make the Great Barrier Reef so famous. So, this island is smaller than Hamilton and is suitable for people who want a quiet place where they can enjoy the wildlife.

The third island, Bedarra, is a lot smaller and more exclusive than the other two islands. People also say it’s also the most beautiful. It’s an ideal place for people who want to escape noise... and it’s even more peaceful than Heron because they don’t allow children under 16 years old on Bedarra. There is accommodation for 32 people only, in luxury villas. It’s the most expensive island of the three. There are two restaurants which serve very good food and there’s a good choice of sporting activities - swimming, wind-surfing, sailing, and tennis. So, to sum up, Bedarra is the smallest, quietest, and most exclusive island of the three.

First read and then roleplay the dialogues:

R=Receptionist, J=James

R Hotel Leon d’Oro. Buongiorno.

J Buongiorno. Do you speak English?

R Yes. How can I help you?

J My name is James Turner. Last week I booked a room from the 3rd to the 6th of April... er, you confirmed the reservation by fax.

R Oh, yes, Mr Turner. I remember.

J I’d like to book a single room, for a colleague, for the 4th of April.

R Let me see. Oh, I’m very sorry, Mr Turner, but we’re fully booked on the 4th of April, because of Vinitaly, you see.

J Oh, what a pity.

R You could try the other hotels in Verona.

J Yes, I’ll do that. Thank you for your help. Goodbye.

R We look forward to seeing you on the 3rd of April, Mr Turner. Goodbye.
