IV. Put the missing sentences into the correct place, there are more than you need.
A summer away from home
Many companies organise summer programmes abroad for young people aged fifteen to twenty.
From working with children in Africa to protecting an ancient Inca road in Peru, there are lots of
different trips to choose from. Travelling without your parents is a great way to become more
independent, make new friends, and see a different country. 1_____ We spoke to three young
travellers about their experiences.
Josh Tanner went to Lagos, Nigeria
I’m really good at football, so when I heard about a football volunteer programme in Africa, I was
really excited. My parents weren’t so enthusiastic at first. 2_____ I was feeling tired when I arrived
in Lagos, and I couldn’t believe how hot it was. But it only took me a few days to get used to the
weather. I stayed with the Ngembo family in an apartment in the centre of Lagos. It was very small,
and I had to share a room with three boys. But everyone was really nice to me, so I soon got used to
having no privacy. I worked really hard, but I enjoyed my job, too. For most of the time, I was
helping a Nigerian sports coach to teach football to ten-year-old boys and girls. I had a great time
there, and I really got used to living in a big, noisy African city. By the time I left, I had really started
to fit in!
Rebecca Jones went to Arles, France
Last year, I spent two weeks at a summer art school for young people in Arles. Arles is a beautiful
little town in Provence, in the south of France. We were staying in a campsite and sharing tents, and
most of the other students were French. I was nervous at first about speaking French to them. But
everyone was very nice to me, and they didn’t criticise my mistakes. I really gained a lot of
confidence after I’d been there for a week. The course was good too. We had drawing and painting
lessons every morning. 3_____ The famous painter Vincent Van Gogh used to live in Arles. Many
 other artists used to visit the area too, and I can see why. It’s a really beautiful place. I think I painted
some good pictures while I was staying there. When Van Gogh was painting in Arles, people didn’t
used to like his work. 4_____ Who knows? Maybe the same thing will happen to my pictures one
day.
Matt Hazelwood went to Bryce Canyon, USA
Last summer, I got a job at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, USA. It’s a beautiful place, but it was
very difficult to get there! After I’d flown ten hours from London to Las Vegas, I had to get a bus to
Cedar Springs, Utah. And after someone had met us there, it was another three-hour drive to the park.
When I’d finally arrived, I went to bed and slept for twelve hours! Lots of young people like me were
working in the park last summer. We were helping people from the US National Park Service to repair
and build things – like picnic tables and information signs. 5_____ That’s important because a lot of
middle-aged and elderly people visit the US national parks. I had to work really hard all summer, and
get up very early in the morning. But I soon got used to that, and it was great to work outside in such a
beautiful place. Bryce Canyon is famous for its red rocks and cliffs − and when the sun comes up in the
early morning, they look amazing!

A I missed my family, of course, but I made a lot of new friends.

B Now his paintings sell for millions of pounds.
C But after I had showed them some information on the internet, they decided that it was safe for me
to go.
D It was great to be outside all day, and the weather was really nice.
E Then every afternoon, the teachers took us out into the countryside to practise our skills.
F We also helped to repair the walking paths and make them safe.
G But what is it really like to go on one of these trips?
