Part 1B - Reading Read the conversation VICKI:Wow, that looks like a long email you’re reading there… MATT:Yes, it’s from my friend Peter who has just started a round-the-world trip. VICKI:Wow – he’s going round the world – how exciting! So did you go with him to the airport to say goodbye to him? MATT:Yes I went to see him off at the airport last week. He sounds like he’s having a great time.
VICKI:So tell us more about your friend’s trip. MATT:Well, after I saw him off at the airport, he took a plane to Australia! VICKI:What a great start! Where in Australia? Sydney? Perth? MATT:Actually his plane touched down in Melbourne. He’s going to travel all around Australia. VICKI:So, his plane touched down - it landed, in Melbourne. I’d love to go there. But I think he’s really brave travelling around on his own. MATT:Well I’m sure he’ll meet lots of people while he’s travelling. VICKI:That’s true.

Part 2B - Reading Read the conversation VICKI:So after your friend got off the plane Matt, what did he do? MATT:Well, he had reserved a few nights in a hotel, so he went to check in. VICKI:We use that phrase – to check in, when you arrive at a hotel and give your name and get the keys to your room.
MATT:Ah but Peter didn’t like the hotel very much so he checked out again straight away! VICKI:So he changed his mind, gave his keys back and left! MATT:Yes, well he says in his email that the hotel was dirty and noisy, so he just decided to check out! VICKI:Wow it must have been bad if he left immediately. I hope he found somewhere else to stay. MATT:Yes, he found another hotel, checked in there and is much happier now. VICKI:Well that’s good.

Part 3B - Reading Read the conversation VICKI:So how is Peter spending his days in Australia? MATT:Well he’s spent the last few days looking around Melbourne and seeing some of the sights before he goes on to his next stop, Perth.
VICKI:I bet Melbourne is an interesting place to visit, with lots of things to see. I’m so jealous, I’d love to go to Australia. I bet he’ll never want to come back! MATT:That’s true, he said in his email that he’s having a brilliant time, he loves the weather, and he doesn’t ever want to return to rainy old London! I’m not surprised he doesn’t want to come back.
