Reading: «A night to remember»

Hello, 

Read the following text related to «A night to remember». Next week I will ask you some comprehension questions. 

Why do we remember some nights in our lives? 

Is it because we went to a beautiful place, met interesting people , heard wonderful music, or saw a fantastic film? We asked people all over the word to tell us about a night that they can never forget….

Maria Julia from Argentina 

1. It was in August two years ago when I was on holiday in Athens.
2. I wanted to see a man that I knew a little when I was at university. He was Greek and he lived in Athens. I called him many times, but he didn´t answer. Suddenly, on my last night, he came to my hotel. 
3. I felt embarrased because my clothes weren´t very special – a green skirt and a white long-sleeve T-shirt and Greek sandals – and my hair was a mess. 
4. We went out and walked around the centre of Athens. We spoke English, but he taught me some Greek words and I taught him some Spanish. 
5. It was a warm night with a beautiful full moon. 
6. I got back to the hotel at 3a.m 
7. It was a magical evening – an Argentinian woman with a Greek man on the other side of the world in those dark streets, with the lights from the Parthenon up on the hill! 

Mehmet from Turkey 

1. It was last year- I was in Istanbul, where I live. 
2. I was with my friends. It was my best friend´s birthday. 
3. I wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans. 
4. We went to a great place called Cezayir. It’s an old building with a great restaurant. We had dinner, and after dinner we had a coffee in the bar. Then we went to the beach at Florya and we had a swim. It was fantastic. The water wasn´t very clean, but we didn´t mind. 
5. It was a hot night and the sea was really warm. 
6. After our swim, we were tired and decided to go back, but I couldn´t find my car keys! We went back to the beach and we looked everywhere, but it was too dark. In the end I left the car at the beach and I went home in my friend´s car! I got home really late, at 5a.m. 
7. I was a memorable night because we had a fantastic dinner and swim, but also because I lost the car keys -it was my father´s car and he was really angry!
