READING AND WRITING – PART 8
 

QUESTIONS 51-55

Read the advertisement and the email
Fill in the information in Byron’s notes.

For questions 51-55, write the correct information.


I am very interested in going on vacation to the lowlands in a small village, not a big city such as Manta and El Puerto Hotel, but I’d rather the Manantial Hotel that is in Canoa. I will spend three days at this place, enjoying the environment found there. Even though I wanted to have a double room for my family, I’ll have a single one because I’m traveling alone. At first I had to pay $15 per night, but I think I have to pay $4 more than expected. I will arrive in the city about noon, a quarter before being exact. I knew the hotel was at S4-12 Main Street, but I was wrong it is the same number but on Second Avenue.
