An Interesting Person I Met on Holiday
Hugo
Last summer, my family visited a quiet mountain village. We didn't stay in a big hotel. We rented a small house. There, I met an old man named Pablo. He was a fantastic painter. He sold beautiful pictures of the mountains, and I bought a small one for my bedroom. One afternoon, he gave me some paper and showed me how to mix colours. I loved learning to paint with him. He was a very kind and quiet person, not loud or funny.
Clara
During our beach holiday, we went on a boat trip. The captain of the boat was a woman called Maria. She was much older than me, but we became good friends. She told us lots of stories about the sea and the fish. Her stories were very funny, and I smiled all day. My dad wanted to buy her a coffee to say thank you, but she said no. I really loved spending the day on the water with her. It was a great trip!
Max
My parents booked a room in a huge hotel in Spain. On the first day, I went to the swimming pool. I met a boy there called Julian. He was exactly my age! We played tennis and swam together every single day. Julian was very good at swimming, but I didn't want to learn how to swim faster. We just played for fun. We live in different countries now, but we often write messages to each other online. I really want to see him again.

International Camp Teenagers
Meet Diego

He decided to come to this international camp because he wants to speak better English. He also brought his old guitar with him. He loves playing it in the evening. Diego is excited to meet teenagers from different countries. He doesn't have a warm coat, so he must buy one soon!

She also loves making delicious food. Sometimes, she cooks dinner for all the students in her group! Yuki likes listening to pop music on her phone. She is having a fun time, but she feels a bit sad because she misses her parents.
Meet Amara
Amara is a very happy teenager from Kenya. She loves the cold weather at the camp because it is very hot in her home town! She always carries a small camera with her. You will often see her taking great photos of the forest and the animals. Amara eats breakfast with students from many places. She brought some fun board games from her bedroom. She likes to share them and play with everyone after dinner.
Answer Key & Explanations
7 A - Reason: Diego comes to the camp because "he wants to speak better English." Text B has a trap because Yuki can already speak two languages perfectly.

10 B - Reason: Yuki "cooks dinner for all the students in her group." Text C has a trap because Amara eats breakfast with students, but she does not cook it for them.
11 A - Reason: Diego "brought his old guitar with him." Text B has a trap because Yuki listens to music on her phone, but she doesn't have an instrument.
12 C - Reason: Amara "loves the cold weather at the camp." Text A has a trap because Diego needs to buy a warm coat for the weather.
13 C - Reason: Amara brought "fun board games" and likes to "share them and play with everyone." Text A has a trap because Diego loves playing football and playing his guitar, but doesn't mention sharing games.
