I'll have to get used to not having the variety of different foods that you have here like twenty different varieties of breakfast serial. (16) And the range of food there is much smaller, not many choices. I'll also have to get used to getting water from a well, not having electricity which means gas lamps in the evening; which means the difficulty of preparing for the next day's lessons in poor light; which means different ways of getting your clothes washed. (17) There will be all sorts of big differences like that, but I'll have to get used to when I arrive there.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays.

As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party.
