HANNAH'S SUMMER PLANS: Hi! My name is Hannah! I am 24 years old and I live in London, England. I am looking forward to this summer because I am going to Australia with my best friend, Paul. Usually, I have to work during the summer, but this summer I am going to travel around Australia. We are going to visit lots of sunny beaches, and we are going to learn how to surf. We are also going to visit all the big cities and experience the culture. I am excited to visit some old friends who live in Australia. My friend, John, who is an engineer, lives in Sydney, so hopefully we will spend a week or two with him. Who knows, maybe I will find a new job in Australia and never return to England!

DAVID'S SUMMER PLANS: Hello everyone! My name is David. I am 22 years old and I live in Dublin, Ireland. This summer, I am going to travel around South America with my best friend, Sarah. We are going to start in Colombia and go all the way down to Argentina! We are really excited for this trip and have been planning it for months. We both have jobs, so we had to save up a lot of money to be able to afford it, but it will be worth it! We are going to see some amazing places and meet some amazing people. I am most excited to visit Argentina because I love football, and my hero is Lionel Messi. We have also arranged to volunteer at an English school in Buenos Aires. I am super excited to get started!
