Read the following statements carefully. My Dream Holiday Sarah,16 The highlight of my holidays was the day I went to Rock in Rio Lisboa!! This was the world's largest multiday music event! It took place on May 26-27 and on June 2-4 in Lisbon. There were more than 90 hours of live music!! Can you imagine?! I saw Sting, Anastacia, and one of the most famous Portuguese pop bands, GNR, which performed right after Sting. I enjoyed it a lot! The music, the crowd, the atmosphere... Everyone was enjoying it so much! I didn't expect it to be so amazing! It was the greatest experience of my life! Tom, 17 I look forward to my holidays. Every year I spend two weeks in the sun with my friends. We camp, go to the beach, surf, swim and meet lots of people. All without adults nearby! I'm happy that I have the chance to do that! When I was 15 my father realised that my idea of a good time is different from his. He knows that I value my independence. Of course, limits have to be set. My parents allow me space to explore on my own, but before I leave home, they usually make sure that I have the address of their hotel and enough money on my mobile phone to keep in touch. Martha, 15 Next year we are going to do something original and exciting to celebrate the end of the school year. We will go abroad, visit lots of different countries and meet new people, making the most of our time off without spending too much money. The easiest way to make this come true will be buying an Inter Rail Pass, which allows us unlimited travel in Europe by train. Inter Rail is synonymous with friendship. During the trip we won't have fixed schedules, we'll meet many other travellers as well as residents of the countries we are visiting. We'll be able to share our experiences and learn about their way of life. It will be the best holiday I've ever had! 1.
