Jack has visited several countries in Asia. C. It was Jack’s first visit to Japan. D. In Asia Jack stayed in expensive hotels. E. Jack was satisfied with public transport in Asia. F. Jack wants to go to Asia one more time. G. Amanda and Jack are going to meet tomorrow.

Amanda: Hi, Jack. Long time no see. Jack: Oh, hi, Amanda. It's good to see you. You look great. Amanda: Thank you very much. How are you getting on? Jack: Not bad, thanks. I've just come back from my backpacking trip around Asia. Amanda: Really? It sounds exciting. How long were you there? Jack: I was there for two months only. I wish I had spent more time there, really. Two months isn't enough to see everything there. You need at least five months, I think. But I didn't have so much time and so much money, sorry to say. Amanda: Well, two months is better than nothing, right? Which places did you visit? I bet you've been everywhere. Jack: Well, I started with Bangkok, and then I went to Vietnam and Hong Kong. I also visited royal palaces and national parks in South Korea, and climbed to the summit of Mount Fuji in Japan. Amanda: You're so lucky. Where did you stay on your tour? Jack: I couldn't afford any expensive accommodation — after all, I'm only a student, remember? So I stayed mainly in cheap hostels, along with a lot of other young people. Amanda: You must have made many friends then. Jack: Kind of. We may never meet ever again, but we had a very good time together there and then. Amanda: How did you travel? Jack: When I arrived in a city, I mainly used public transport. It's quite good in most Asian countries. At least it was in my experience. Of course, I took planes to go from one country to another. Amanda: Did you have any problems while travelling? There are lots of frightening stories in travel blogs, you know. Jack: Well, I was afraid about the language barrier, but it wasn't a problem at all. Most people seem to understand English and can speak it at least a little. That was enough for me. Maybe my only big problem was the insects. Amanda: So, how do you feel on coming back to London? Jack: You know, Amanda, once you've got the travel bug, it becomes very hard to stay in one place for too long. I've got itchy feet now. I wish I could go travelling again. Amanda: Well, Jack, maybe next summer. The new academic year starts in two weeks. Jack: Yeah, I know. Look, Amanda, I've got to go now. But if you wish to learn more about my adventures, we can have dinner together. How about tomorrow evening? Amanda: Sounds good to me. I'd love to learn more about your adventures. Give me a ring so that we can agree about the restaurant and the exact time. Jack: I will. Bye for now. Amanda: Bye.

Ann works together with her mother. D. Ann’s mother is displeased with her work. E. Ann has made up her mind to be a travel agent. F. The agency clients sometimes complain about the tours. G. Jake and Ann are going to have a coffee tomorrow.

Ann: Hi, Jake. Long time no see. How are things? Jake: Oh, hi, Ann. It's good to see you too. I'm fine. How about you? Ann: I'm okay, thanks. Are you enjoying your summer holidays? Jake: Definitely. It feels so good doing nothing. Of course I have to do some housework, but I don't mind it. Apart from that, I walk, read books and go to the gym every day. Ann: That's great. You're so lucky, Jake. As for me, I've decided to work this summer. Jake: Oh dear. Is it a full-time job? Ann: No, it's only the afternoon shift. I work at my mother's office. Jake: Your mother is a travel agent, isn't she? So what do you do at her office? Ann: You're right. My mother has a small travel agency in the city centre. I started two weeks ago by typing the letters and things like that. But after a few days, I had to consult an old lady about a trip to Morocco because there was nobody in the office for some reason. And guess what? The lady bought the tour! Jake: Ann, you are a real star. Your mother must have been very proud of you. Ann: Well, yes, she was. So now I have to answer the phone calls and help other agents to select tours for our clients. I can say I'm pretty good at it. My mother's employees say I always give good recommendations. Jake: Look, Ann, you probably have to consider the career of a travel agent after finishing school. I think you'll be very good at it. In fact, you're already good enough to do this job. Ann: My mother says so, but I'm in two minds about it. On the one hand, it's a very interesting job because I can meet a lot of people and help them have a holiday of their dream. On the other hand, it's a very stressful job, and I get tired of dealing with people all the time. Jake: I bet you can tell me some funny stories about your job. Ann: I certainly can. Most people have very reasonable demands and expectations, and we try to offer them a trip that would be the best value for their money. However, sometimes they can complain about strange things. We had a man who ordered an eco-tour to an Australian farm and phoned us to complain that there were cows staring at him all the time. Jake: That's funny indeed. I wonder if you could help him in some way. Ann: Of course not. Oh look, Jake, I've got to go. I have to be at work in thirty minutes. I'm really sorry about that. Jake: Well, Ann, let's have a coffee some day and you'll tell me more about your job. I'd love to learn more about it. Ann: Sure, give me a ring. Bye for now.

Bill spent a year as an exchange student in France. D. Bill is not enthusiastic about studying in summer. E. Morning classes are more expensive than evening ones in the centre. F. Bill is going to study Maths in a mini group. G. Bill hates getting up early in the morning.

Amanda: Hi, Bill. I haven't seen you for ages. How are you? Bill: Oh, hi, Amanda. I'm really glad to see you. Amanda: Hey, you look down in the dumps. What's the matter? Aren't you happy that the school year is finally over? Bill: Well, you have every reason to be happy. You have passed all your exams with flying colors. That's not my case. I almost failed my math exam. Amanda: Really? Are you so bad at maths? Bill: Oh, Amanda, this subject is torture. I can't make out anything the teacher says. It doesn't really matter how many times she explains it to me. It's completely over my head. Amanda: Come on, Bill. You can't be that bad. I don't remember you having so many problems with maths before. When did it all start? Bill: Well, in September, I returned from that exchange program in France, and then I got ill after a couple weeks at school. Amanda: Oh, yes, that nasty flu you had. You missed like three weeks at school or so. Bill: Exactly. Then I came back to studies, but it seemed just impossible to catch up with the rest of the class. I guess I should have returned to the parts of the student book that I missed, but I didn't do that. Amanda: Well, Bill, it was certainly a mistake. If you had returned to the material you missed, you would have understood everything. Bill: I know, Amanda, I know. The question is, what should I do now? Amanda: You have the whole summer ahead. Find some math courses or online lessons on the topic you don't understand. Take the student book and pull your socks up. Bill: Do you really think I'm happy to study in summer? Everybody will be having fun in the sun, and I'll be reading books and solving math problems. Amanda: I understand it doesn't sound exciting, but at the same time, I believe you have no other way out. You don't want to do even worse next semester, do you? Bill: I guess you are right. I'll phone the educational center on High Street. They are said to have classes in mini-groups as well as tutorials. Amanda: I've heard that they have morning classes with a discount, but that means you'll have to get up early. Bill: Oh, Amanda, you know that I don't mind it at all. I'm an early bird, plus I'll be able to save some money this way. Amanda: So, what are you waiting for? Call them now.

The girl is sure what sports classes she needs. C. The girl does stretching using videos. D. The girl has never been ill since high school. E. The girl doesn’t find yoga interesting. F. The club doesn’t have a big choice of dancing classes. G. The girl is ready to make up her mind about what class to choose.

Receptionist: Good morning, and welcome to the Star Sports Club. How may I help you? Girl: Good morning, sir. I was just passing by, and I thought I'd drop in. The thing is that I want to take up some sport, but I can't make up my mind which one to choose. Receptionist: Well, to begin with, my name is Jerry, and it's right here on my badge in case you forget. I'm happy to help you make the right choice. Would you mind answering some questions for me and see what might best suit you? Girl: Yes, sure. Receptionist: Do you have any background in sports? Girl: Well, you see, I'm not a sporty person. I had PE classes in high school, and sometimes I do some stretching at home. That's it. Receptionist: Are there any medical conditions you have that we should be aware of? Girl: No, I can't think of any. I rarely fall ill, and have never had any major health problems. Receptionist: That's good to hear. Okay, why do you want to take up a sport? What kind of results do you want to see? Girl: Well, I don't seem to have any weight problems, so weight loss programs are certainly not for me. However, I would really love to be more flexible in my joints. Receptionist: I see what you mean. The number one choice then would probably be yoga. We have a variety of yoga classes to choose from. Power yoga, stretching plus yoga. You would be able to get more flexible and improve your posture. Girl: I'm not quite sure yoga is my cup of tea. Isn't it boring? Receptionist: With a professional instructor, a yoga class is always exciting and highly spiritual. Girl: Do I have any other options in your club? Receptionist: I was thinking of some dance classes, actually. We have classes of many dancing styles. You may try some and see what's best. Girl: Can I try the classes before making a final decision? Receptionist: Of course. You are a student, right? So fill in the form, and I'll give you your novice pass. It means you can come to three classes of your choice, for free, and then decide which one is best for you. Girl: That's a generous offer. Receptionist: It's our special summer offer for students only. Girl: I'd like to fill in that form right now. Receptionist: Sure. There's the form and you can see the timetable over there and sign up for the classes today. Girl: Thank you.

Jake didn’t have a chance to travel in summer. C. Mary’s mother speaks Russian fluently. D. Mary and her parents spent a lot of time in Moscow. E. Mary’s hobby is taking photos of churches. F. Mary had an English-speaking guide on her tour. G. Jake wants to see Mary’s photos from her trip.

Jake: Hi, Mary. Long time no see. How are things? Mary: Oh, hi, Jake. I'm fine, thank you. Jake: Are you getting ready for college? The start of the new academic year is in a week already. Mary: Yes, I know. It's not like I'm really keen on studies, but after such a good summer it's not so bad to come back to college. Jake: Did you have a good summer? You are so lucky then. Mary: I did. Didn't you? Jake: Well, I stayed in town the whole summer. I had a summer job as a waiter in a cafe, plus we moved house, and it's no easy matter. Mary: Oh, I see. You didn't really have any chance to recharge your batteries then. Jake: Maybe next summer will be better. I'm trying to be positive, you know. Well, that's enough about me. Tell me about your amazing summer. You went travelling, didn't you? Mary: Yes, I did. I think travelling is absolutely necessary if you really want to have a good rest. Jake: So, where did you go? Mary: You might be surprised, but my parents and I decided to go to Russia. Jake: Russia? Come on, you must be joking. Mary: Not at all. You know, my mum has been learning Russian for a while and she got interested in the Russian culture. So, finally, my dad and I agreed that it might be a nice experience and we don't regret it a single bit. Jake: You must have visited Moscow and St Petersburg, then. I know these are the two biggest and most beautiful cities in Russia. Mary: Well, we spent a couple of days in Moscow, but then we took a tour around the Golden Ring. Jake: The Golden Ring? What's that? Mary: The Golden Ring unites several Russian towns and cities. They are quite old and have a lot of churches and cathedrals. I think the route is called so because of that. I mean, the colours of the domes. Jake: It sounds so interesting. Did you take many photos? Mary: Of course. Besides churches, many of these cities have Kremlins. These are ancient fortresses to protect the cities against invasions. Most of them are still in very good condition and function as museums of local history. Jake: Was it a guided tour? Mary: Yes. The tour guide was a very nice Russian lady with excellent English. She knows so much about all these places. I even made some notes. Jake: Maybe I can drop in some day and you'll show me your photos and the notes. Mary: Of course.
