Read the passage carefully.
Last summer Paul went on a holiday for two weeks to the island of Sardinia. He stayed in a hotel which had a wonderful swimming pool and beautiful views of the sea. It was a village where the local people went fishing in the winter, and foreign visitors came in the summer. Paul spent his first day on the beach, but on the second day he felt very ill. First, he was too hot, then he was too cold. He couldn’t understand why he felt like that. So he went to see a local doctor, who was a very nice man and whose English was excellent.
“Summer is a time when people often feel ill,” the doctor said. “It’s too hot for most of us! Take this medicine, and stay out of the sun.”
Paul took the doctor’s advice and stayed in his room for the rest of his holiday. He soon felt better. “What a cheap holiday!” He thought happily.
