Description - Relatives

Of all of my relatives, I like my godfather Charles the best. He has been a friend of the family for

many years. He has a wife and two children, and he lives with his wife in a small village near Debrecen.

He is in his late sixties, but he is still young in spirit. He has a dark complexion, thin black hair, butnow it is greying which he swept back because it is getting thinner. He has a snub noise, s uare !aw, a

mean mouth and bushy eyebrows. "hen you met him, the first thing you notice is his big, smiling eyes.

His eyes are greyish blue. His face is wrinkled now, but I think he is still rather handsome. He is well built

but he has a little beer belly.

He is the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem. He is extremely generuos, but

not very tolerant with people who don#t agree with him. He is well$ballanced and friendly but not a sociable

man. He is sincere, honest and merciful, and always proud for his little house and car and his social place.

He is never agressive or violent. Despite the fact he had a strict childhood, he is rather understanding andcaring.

He likes watching %& and gardening, and he goes for short walks over the river with her wife. He is a

very active person. He is interested in stamps, he has a big stamp$collection. 'sually he meets his friends

to exchange stamps. He likes our national food and culture. (very weekend he goes for plays chess with

his friends. He is intested in languages, so he knows three languages) (nglish, *rench and +erman. He is

a very intelligent man. I hope that I am as clever and contented as he is when I#m his age.

Holidays

*irst I#d like to speak about the tours. %here are two type tour package tour and individual tour.

%he package tour is cheap. -ou can !ust go by bus or plane, you can#t make the initerary, you can#t worry

about where you sleap night. ut you must go back to the bus, when the tourguide said.%he individual tour is most free. -ou can rest on the museum as much time as you can, but must

search an accomadation where you stay at night.

/ecoundly, let me talk about the internal and the foreign tour.

0lthough the foreign tour is most exited that the holiday at home, I think first you should know your

country, and than go abroad. %he foreign tour is harder, becouse you will know the language at country

where you are. -ou must go to the travel agency and you need a lot of money to stay longer time.

%he internal tour is simpler, becouse you haven#t got any problem for the language. -ou can go

sightseeing everywhere, every time. -ou can go with your own car. In Hungary the people are choose thepackage tour, becouse they are la1y or they aren#t enough bravery to go on individual tour. 0s I have

already said I like the package tour at home, at Hungary 2it#s may becouse I#m la1y3. 0ccording to my

mother the package tour is not realy interesting that the individual. I think this summer we will go on

holiday at home, in an individual tour. *inally I write some relaxation) relax in the sun, visit an exhibition, go

for sightseeing and do an active holiday.

My worst holiday

In the summer of 4556 we decided to go on a holiday in +reece. "e tried to catch a taxi, but no one

stoped for us. /o you can imagine, we almost missed the bus. %o tell the truth that was a 7eoplan bus, but

we didn#t aware of that. "e couldn#t sleep for the noise of the engine. "e didn#t used the toalette, becouse

it was wrong. "e didn#t bought anything on the buffet, becouse it was closed.

ut the worst was still to come. "e didn#t en!oyed the air condition, becouse it was wrong too. It was

absolutely unbearable. (tc. %he travel was only 89 hours, becouse a frontier guard stoped us for 5 hours.

"hy: ecause he wasn#t so rich and he thought to so he will make a fortune with our money; "hen we

arrived at long last in the appartement we reckoned the worst, but we were disappointed pleasantly. *inally

the holiday wasn#t so horrible, !ust the travel. 0fter we

New York and London

I think the ma!or difference was the height of the place in 7ew -ork. (verything was up, everything is

faster and the people are much ruder) pushing in the street, fights about getting on the bus. >eople don#t

ueue like they do in (ngland.

%he average (nglishman is cold and not very open. In the /tates it#s very different. %hey are

enthusiastic and spontaneous than (nglish people. 0mericans stand closer when they are talking.

0mericans are more open, they speak their minds, so if they don#t like something, they actually tell you

directly. 7ot like the ritish, who might think one thing and say another. ?aybe the ritish are ruder than

the 0mericans. (nglish people in 0merica are respected. (veryone wants to talk to them. ut 0mericans in

(ngland are thought to be a little inferior because they get exited by everything. %hey think everything is

so #cute#.

0nd another thing is 0mericans work a lot harder than the (nglish people. *or the (nglish their private

lives are important, their holidays are important, their gardens are important, their dogs are important, but

0mericans, work is the most important thing in our lives. 0mericans live to work. Once an (nglish man

made a friend, it#s a friend for life, but it takes very long time.

In 7ew -ork all shops are open till ten o#clock and some supermarkets are open twenty$four hours a

day. ?ost shops don#t open as early as in (ngland, they don#t open until about ten or eleven in the

morning, becouse they all work much later. (verything#s open on /undays. In the /tates only the banks

are shut, everything else stays open. In the /tates it#s easier to make money and it#s easier to spend it.

/hops are open all the time over there. In (ngland you had to race to reach the supermarket before 9)8@.

/ome shops are open later now, and on /undays, but they are still harder to find than in the /tates.

In 7ew -ork the public holidays are much shorter than in Aondon. Holidays seem to be longer in

Aondon, and around Christmas and 7ew -ear the whole country closes down for two weeks.

7ew -ork is as cosmopolitan as Aondon, but it#s not as mixed. 7ationalities stay in their own areas

like there#s the Bussian section, the +erman section

7ew -ork taxi drivers must be the rudest in the world. %hey never speak and they don#t seem to

know where anything is. In Aondon it#s very different. %axi drivers tell you they life stories and know every

street in Aondon. %he underground isn#t very clean but at least you can use it and feel safe. 7ew -ork isuite a dangerous place. %he subways are unusable, dirty and uncomfortable.
