It was a beautiful day for a sightseeing walk. It was pleasantly warm with a light breeze from the sea. ‘What a good idea

the boulevard.

the table meaning to call my friend, who was also coming to the convention the following day. A group of young boys
came over to my table. They were carrying lots of flyers and leaflets, which they spread all over my table. They were
pointing at the leaflets and saying something in Spanish. My Spanish was just good enough to say ‘No, thanks’. (3) __ It
took me quite a while to realise my phone had disappeared with them.
