B.5 (3 puntos) Write about 150 to 200 words on the following topic: Have you ever stayed at a really bad hotel or accommodation? Describe the experience or imagine what it would have been like.

Solución: *Sample response:* Last summer, my friends and I decided to take a spontaneous road trip across the country. Since we were on a tight budget, we booked the cheapest motel we could find near the highway. That turned out to be an unforgettable mistake. From the moment we arrived, things went downhill. The receptionist barely greeted us and handed over a rusty key. When we opened the door, a strong smell of dampness hit us immediately. The carpet was stained, the wallpaper was peeling off, and the bedsheets looked as if they had not been washed in months. To make matters worse, there was no hot water in the bathroom, and the shower head was clogged with limescale. During the night, strange noises coming from the ceiling kept us awake for hours. Needless to say, we checked out at sunrise without even asking for breakfast. Although it was an awful experience at the time, we now look back at it and laugh. It definitely taught us that saving a few euros is not worth sacrificing basic hygiene and a good night's sleep.
