When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car,before they left,they asked me about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of
accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice,but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,”they said.“Because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
