Read the following passage and choose the best answers to each of the questions below.
My husband and I had a problem about our holiday last year. I wanted to have a lazy seaside holiday because
I was tired and needed to relax. I loved lying in the sun, drinking iced beer and reading a good book. But Robert
liked busy, cultural holidays. He liked visiting museums and art galleries. He hated sunbathing because he always
went red, not brown. The travel agent tried to help us and suggested Greece. I said I love to sail to a quiet island,
but of course Robert said he’d like to stay in Athens. It was easy to decide what to do, we flew to Athens together,
Robert stayed there and I traveled to the island of Kos!
