2 Complete the crossword below.

A: SIMON
Last year, I tried something new – I went to
Australia alone. It was the first time I tried to
travel alone, and at first, I was a little scared,
but honestly, it wasn’t a bad experience. The
good thing about travelling on your own is that
you can do anything at any time because you
don’t have to convince others. What’s more, I
met lots of new people and made lots of friends
there!

B: RACHEL
Last year I had the most beautiful holiday in my
whole life – I will never forget it. I went sailing
to Polynesia with my boyfriend and some
friends of mine. The sea was amazing, and
there were lots of varieties of fishes, and the
weather was beautiful. We stayed there for just
10 days because it was very expensive, but we
had such a great experience.

C: TOM
Last year I went to the Caribbean Sea on a
cruise ship. Before I set off, I was looking
forward to it – I couldn’t wait. However, after
two days on the cruise ship, I felt bad, and I
had to stay in my cabin all the time. When I got
better, the holiday was finished – fortunately, it
didn’t cost much. What a terrible holiday!
