Read the conversation and underline the sentences in which David proposes a destination to Adam.ADAM Hey David. How’s it going?
DAVID Oh, hi Adam. I’ve been doing pretty well. What are you doing here?
ADAM I'm looking at the posters of some eco-friendly tours in Việt Nam. I’m thinking about going on one of those trips this summer.
DAVID That’s great. How about spending your holiday in Cần Giờ? I went there two years ago. You can enjoy both the peaceful scenery and the exciting activities there.
ADAM Well, I’ve heard of it. But I'm looking for somewhere in a mountainous area.
DAVID Oh. There are some really amazing mountainous areas in Việt Nam. I think maybe you should have a look at Hàm Rồng.
ADAM The one where you can see the Fansipan Summit? But isn’t it a little boring there? I don’t see many things to do except for going to the orchid garden on the mountaintop.
DAVID Wow, you’re really picky. Right, if you like a place that is mountainous and full of exciting activities, why don’t you choose Bà Nà-Suối Mơ?
ADAM Hmm let me see, there is an
entertainment area along with a cable car system and the Golden Bridge. That does sound fun.
DAVID Have you decided yet?
ADAM Yeah. Thank you for your help, David.
DAVID You’re welcome.

Somewhere in Africa
Seventeen-year-old Nadia Clarke talks about her African experience.
Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.
It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a world that is very different to mine in so many ways.
I was horrified at how poor so many of the families over there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was also amazed at how positively people go about their everyday lives. The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten. I think many of us don’t realise how lucky we are.
My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and changing bed sheets, but I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. And I got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about the profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine!
When I finished, I knew exactly what I was going to do: I wanted to work for an international organisation like the Red Cross or Médecins sans Frontières and spend my life helping people overseas who haven’t been as lucky in life as me. I couln’t wait to get started.
