They’ve been to Australia on holiday before, but have never stayed for more than 3 weeks. The move was a big adventure and Mark was nervous at first about going to school in a different country. “I hoped that I would make friends and wouldn’t find the lessons too difficult”. But it didn’t take him long to settle in. At the weekends, Mark goes surfing with his friends. Life to Mark isn’t too different from life in England. He goes to the cinema, meets his friends and plays football. The biggest difference in his life so far has been the weather. Unlike England, Australia has very sunny weather.

Mark doesn’t miss England but plans to visit it some time. ”When I leave school, I think I would like to go to university in England. Before then, I would also like to go and visit my family.

Аудиоскрипт:

Adam: Hi, Jenny. How was your holiday? Did you have trouble at the airport again?

Jenny: We were lucky this time, Adam. The aeroplane wasn’t delayed and we left on time.

 Adam: That’s good. Unfortunately, my family had some problems.

Jenny: Oh, no! What happened?

Adam: Well, our car broke down, so we had to take a taxi to the port. We just managed to catch the ferry on time.

Jenny: Oh, no! At least you got the ferry, though.

Adam: Yes. My cousin wasn’t so lucky. His train was cancelled because of bad weather, so they couldn’t leave for 2 days.

Jenny: That’s a shame! There were a lot of problems with the trains. My grandparents decided to take the coach instead. It took a bit longer, but at least they got there.

Adam: That was a good idea.

Jenny: My friend, Tina didn’t have any problems at all. She went on holiday with her brother – on his motorbike!

Adam: Really? I bet that was a lot of fun. My friend Carl travelled to France and then Italy with his parents. They drove all the way there and back in their car.

Jenny: Wow! That’s a long trip, but it was probably very interesting.

Adam: I’m sure it was.
