Helen’s idea of an ideal holiday has changed

She has to confess, though, that when she was younger

she really enjoyed the noisy atmosphere and activity Now,

however, she feels rather tired of all this and all she wants

to do while on holiday is relax She says that in this way she

can focus her attention on her thoughts and her writing.

“It’s as if I have an extreme need for peace and quietness,”

Helen says She doesn’t even mind being alone, isolated from

the rest of the world for some time At first, some of her friends

were extremely surprised by the change they saw in her and

could hardly believe it was the same person Nevertheless,

over time, they have come to understand and accept it. _
