Listen to Lily and Noah talk about their holidays, then do the exercises to help you understand.
Lily : Hi! I’m Lily. The best holiday I’ve ever had was in Paris last year, with my mum and my step-dad. On the first day, we went to the Eiffel Tower. It’s huge! We took a lift right to the top and we could see the whole city from up there. The people and the cars and the buses on the ground looked tiny. Mum took loads of photos! The most exciting part of the trip was when we went to a theme park. We went on lots of rides and we saw all my favourite characters in the parade. The best thing in Paris, though, was the chocolate croissants. We had them every morning for breakfast. They were the most delicious chocolate croissants I’ve had in my whole life!
Noah : Hello, I’m Noah. My favourite place in the whole world is my grandparents’ house, and me and my brother go there for two weeks every summer. My grandparents live in the countryside and they’ve got a big garden, so we can play whatever we want. They’ve got two cats, a dog, lots of chickens and some goats. In the morning we go and collect the eggs, and then we have a boiled egg for breakfast. There’s a lake nearby that we sometimes go to with my grandparents. We take a picnic and we stay all day. There are some inflatable water slides that you can climb up and slide down into the water. They’re really fun!
