TASK: In pairs, plan and write a new cautionary tale about someone who travelled abroad and used his/her credit card for paying absolutely everything.
It was Christmas time and Paul indecisive about which presents to buy to his mother and godmother, finally decided to give them two plane tickets to travel to Paris. The two ladies couldn’t have been much excited as they heard the good news. But the tickets weren’t the only surprise Paul had planned for them; he had also got two extensions of his credit card for accommodation, tours, and even souvenirs. The so expected day finally arrived. Betty and Sara left; they had a great flight and got to the five stars hotel in the very heart of Paris. It looked like a palace and they felt like queens. They went to the most expensive restaurants for every meal; they had tea at the finest cafés in the most glamorous streets in Paris. Every evening, they came back to the hotel carrying lots of bags, with presents for all the family including the in-laws. The last night of their stay in France, there was a party at the hotel and they were awarded the prize of “the best tourists ever known in this part of the city”. They were incredibly happy and proud. They couldn’t be more grateful to Paul for having given them that awesome golden card; they could buy anything by just showing this plastic “thing” everywhere they went. Back in Argentina, they shared their experiences in Paris with their families and give them their presents. Paul was astonished by the number of things they had brought from France. But all the questions had the answers when the credit card bill arrived. This was the first and last time Paul gave anyone an extension of his credit card!
