Suggested answers:
Last summer, Mai’s family went to Hue. Since her parents did not have much 
time to organize the tour by themselves, they booked a four-day package 
tour. The travel agency arranged everything for them: the air tickets, 
accommodation, the places to visit, and transportation. The tour was 
trouble-free as Mai’s father said. They had to follow a fixed schedule, but 
they felt ok with it. The tour guide was friendly and helpful. Coming home, 
everybody was satisfied with the service the agency offered. CONSOLIDATION
