Speaker 2 My last business trip was a disaster.1:12
I rushed to the airport only to realize that I had forgotten my briefcase with my presentation.1:17
At the office, there was no time to go back, so I boarded the plane without it.1:22
During the flight, I tried to get some sleep, but this annoying man next to me was talking all the time, which was very frustrating.1:27
When I finally got to the hotel, my secretary had left a note telling me she had emailed me all the documents I would need.1:35
Finally, some good news.1:42

Speaker 3 Two years ago I visited Paris.2:22
There were countless things to see and at the end of each day I was exhausted by all the walking.2:29
I visited many museums and famous landmarks.2:34
The language difference was a little hard, but many people spoke English.2:38
I also bought some things.2:43
They were really expensive but of excellent quality.2:45
However, I was shocked to find out that the food was not as good as people say.2:49
But all in all, I had a wonderful time.2:54

Speaker 4 One of my favourite things to do after my holidays is to develop my pictures.3:38
I take dozens of snaps when on holiday, and it sometimes takes me days to put them in order and in albums.3:44
I have pictures from my visits to Kenya, China, Bali, and Italy.3:51
At the beginning, I used to take pictures of all the landmarks, but I realized that those were boring.3:56
I have since started to take pictures of the strange things that make each country unique.4:02
Also, if I do decide to take pictures of landmarks, I make sure people are standing in front.4:07
Who knows, maybe someday I can create a picture book with all my snaps.4:13

Speaker 5 Last year, my friends and I participated in a school exchange program.5:06
For two weeks, we had the opportunity to live with a family in another country.5:13
We were sent to three different host families in Boston.5:17
My host family was nice, but their daughter was a bit strange.5:21
She hardly spoke to me and kept looking at me in a curious way.5:25
Also, while my other friends went on exciting excursions with their host families, I had two dull weeks sitting inside a house watching American television.5:30
Let's just say I was happy to return home.5:41
