Passage

We have provided a Having A Lovely Time reading passage below, read it carefully and answer questions 1-8.

Having A Lovely Time

This is good news for the industry and for holiday-makers. A holiday is a major purchase - yet it's one we can't try before we pay. All we have to go on is the brochure and it's a credit to tour operators that they now contain more detail.

OUR ADVICE

DO be realistic. No one should be palmed off with a poor standard of service, food, or accommodation even if you paid a rock- bottom price for a last-minute break. However, be reasonable - you won't get a room with the best view in town if you've paid a budget price.

DO complain to the right person. Moaning to the waiter about a week's worth of appalling food, then writing an indignant letter when you get back home won't have the same impact as airing your grievances at the time.

DO get evidence for a serious problem such as having a building site instead of the promised swimming pool below your window. Take a photo to back up your case.

DON'T write and complain for the sake of it. Letters can be powerful as long as they're about something you have a good reason to complain about.

DON'T lose your temper. Easier said than done, but you're more likely to get results if you state your case firmly, explain why you think there's a problem then suggest a reasonable solution.
