Alice: I´m going to do something really different this year. I´m going to fly to Santiago, Chile. Then,
I´m going to take a boat all the way down to Patagonia. That´s at the bottom of South America.
First, I´m going to see the glaciers. These large areas of ice are going to be magnificent to see.
Then, I´m going to stay in a hotel in a nature preserve called Torres Del Payne. I´m going to see the
animals in their natural environment. For example, there are many “guanacos” in this area. They
look a little like camels, and they are ancestors of the llama, but they are smaller. It´s going to be a
thrilling experience.

Rod: I´m going to visit my friends in Switzerland. They live in a small town in the Alps. The town is a
ski station, and it´s usually crowded. We are going to go mountain climbing and skiing. I think it´s
going to be really exciting. I´m looking forward to this vacation and going to another country.

Sue: Well, I´m not going to travel. I´m going to spend my vacation right here in our town. My
