Fadhbanna ar Saoire Flashcards
In one picture, a family sits down together after dinner
I bpictiúr amháin, suíonnan theaghlach sios le chéile tar éis dinnéir
Mum said they were going on holiday because it was their leaving certificate this year to us
Dúirt Mam go raibh siad dul ar saoire mar gurb é an teastas fágála atá acu an bhliain seo chuigainn
Dad said he did some research on the internet and went to the travel agent at the weekend to find out more
Dúirt Daid go ndearna sé roinnt taighde ar an idirlíon agus chuaigh sé go dtí an gníomhaire taistil ag an deireadh seachtaine chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil
The twins, Uná and Seamus were excited about this and were looking forward to it
Bhí na cúpla, Uná agus Seamus ar bís faoi seo agus bhí siad ag tnúth leis
The family had a chat with the travel agent
Bhí comhrá ag an teaghlach leis an ngíomhaire taistil
Dad told her that they had made their choice, that the children went on the internet and chose Malaga as their destination
Dúirt Daid léi go raibh a rogha déanta acu, go ndeachaigh na páistí ar an idirlíon agus gur roghnaigh siad Malaga mar cheann scríbe
She said there was a choice of hotels for them
Dúirt sí go raibh rogha már óstáin dóibh
Uná and Seamus liked one hotel in particular because it had great facilities, looked comfortable and was located in a good central location
Thaitin óstán amháin go háirithe le Uná agus Seamus mar go raibh áiseanna iontacha ann, cuma compordach air agus é suite in áít mhaith lárnach
The family arrived at Malaga airport and were greeted by a travel agent
Shrioch an teaghlach aerfort Malaga agus chuir gníomhaire taistil beannachtaí orthu
He gave them his phone number and told them to call him if they had any problems
Thug sé a uimhir theileafóin dóibh agus dúirt sé leo glaoch a chuir air má bhíonn fadhb ar bith acu
The children were so excited to finally be there
Bhí an oiread sin sceitimíní ar na páistí a bheith ann ar deireadh
The sun was splitting the rocks and a family was wearing their sunglasses because the weather was so nice.
Bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch agus bhí teaghlach ag caitheamh a gcuid spéaclaí gréine mar bhí an simsir chomh deas sin
Sadly, when they arrived at the hotel. They were disappointed
Faraor, nuair a shroich siad an t-óstán
They were disappointed
Bhí an díoma orthu.
The place was bad.
Bhí drocht ar an áit.
The rooms were dirty and untidy
Bhí na seomraí salach agus míshlachtmhar
There were spider webs on the walls and the place was a mess
Bhí liontáin dhamháin alla ar na ballaí agus bhí an áit ina praiseach
Without further delay they called the travel representative and explained the story to him
Gan a thuilleadh moille ghlaoigh siad ar an ionadaí taistil agus mhínigh siad an sceal dó
The representative met them and said he was sorry
The representative met them and said he was sorry
He explained that there was a stall going on and that there were problems in that hotel.
Mhínigh sé go raibh staile ar siúl agus go raibh fadhbanna san óstán sin
He was happy to upgrade them to another excellent hotel, the Salles Central
Bhí sé sásta uasghrádú a thabhairt dóibh go hóstán den scoth eile, an Salles Central
The location was excellent and the facilities were brilliant
Bhí an suíomh ar fheabhas agus bhí na háiseanna thar cionn ann
It wasn’t long before they were all in the new hotel
Níorbh fhada go riabh siad go léir san óstan nua
Úna and Seamus were swimming in the pool and they were all very happy
Bhí Úna agus Seamus ag snámh sa linn snámha agus iad an-sásta ar fad
‘The wind that doesn’t blow for someone is bad,’ thought dad and he was obviously right
‘Is olc an ghaoth nach séideann do dhuine éigin,’ a cheap daid agus is léir go raibh an ceart aige.
