My summer with sixteen cats

Some students manage to combine both travel and money-making. Take Dan Taylor for example,

the 19-year-old student knew he wanted to spend the summer somewhere different. However, he was

also on a budget. He searched the internet for days, looking for interesting opportunities. And then he

found it: a website called .

The website was full of advertisements written by people from all over the world. These people

had one thing in common: they all wanted to go on vacation, and they wanted a reliable person to

come and look after their pets. The advertisements all offered free accommodation, while some also

offered travel costs and a small wage.

Dan got in touch with a couple from Long Island in New York. They were going on a month’s

vacation, leaving their sixteen cats behind them. “I like challenges”, says Dan. “And I’ve always

wanted to go to New York.”

What was the reality of pet-sitting like? Dan says, “It was fantastic. The cats kept me busy. I did

Task 2 Read the following passage. Choose the best answer.

How to pack like a professional

Your flights are booked, and your itinerary is planned. Now all you have to do is pack your

suitcase. That may seem simple, but in fact, suitcase-packing is a skill which must be learned.

Flight attendant Rosa Kay knows this only too well. Her work takes her all around the globe, and

she is an experienced suitcase packer. She says, “Most people pack far too much when they travel.

Less can be more!”

So what does a well-packed suitcase look like? First of all, it doesn’t contain pieces of paper and

travel documents. Rosa says, “Often travelers carry far too many bits of paper. It adds to the stress

and it’s more to carry. Digitize your documents!”

Packing too many devices is another mistake. Rosa explains, “If you’re planning on taking

holiday photos, ask yourself if you really need an expensive, heavy camera. Wouldn’t your

smartphone be just as good? Many people pack laptops too, but if you will just be accessing social

media on vacation, why bother?”

Finally, clothing. Have you ever packed lots of clothes to take on holiday, and worn only half of

them? If so, you’re not alone. Rosa says, “Make a pile of all the clothes you want to take, and then

halve it. You won’t regret it! And roll your clothes, don’t fold them. This will take up much less room

in your case.

Do you have any top packing tips? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

6. What is the main point of this article?

A. It’s very easy to pack a suitcase.

B. People need to learn how to pack well.

C. A lot of people lose their suitcases on holiday.

D. Most people are very good at packing suitcases.

7. Why has the writer of the article asked Rosa Kay for advice?

5

A. She completed a course in suitcase packing.

B. She really enjoys packing other people’s suitcases.

C. She regularly has to pack a suitcase for her job.

D. She has written a lot of articles about suitcase packing.

8. According to Rosa Kay, what should people do with their travel documents?

A. Pack them in their suitcase.

B. Carry them in their hands.

C. Store them on a device or online.

D. Make lots of paper copies of them.

9. What advice does Rosa offer about devices?

A. Don’t take two when you can take just one.

B. You should always pack a camera.

C. Don’t pack your most expensive devices.

D. Pack cheap devices, so it doesn’t matter if you lose them.

10. According to Rosa, what should you do about clothes?

A. Take old clothes, so it won’t matter if they get lost.

C. Fold your clothes neatly, rather than rolling them.

D. Take half the amount you were originally planning to.

B. Take lots of clothes, so you are prepared for every occasion.

Task 3 Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with no more than three words.

Come guide with us!

Are you looking for something different to do this summer? Are you interested in local history

and culture? Are you friendly and open? Do you love meeting people from different countries and

cultures?

If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, then why not consider training to be a seasonal

tour guide?

local knowledge.

Tour guide Sandra Diaz says, “I really enjoy working for Big Apple Tour. The course was

challenging, but it really did help me to feel well-prepared for the job. Now I’ve been working as a

tour guide for three summers. It’s a perfect way of earning money to help me get through college.

And I love the work! It’s basically getting paid to have fun and meet new people!”

Hi Monica,

How are you? I imagine you’re looking forward to a long vacation!

Actually, that’s why I’m writing to you. I remember you told me that you were on a budget, and

you didn’t have enough money to go on a long vacation this summer. I’m in the same situation as you

are, and I have an idea, which I think you will like.

I know you are always telling me you would like to live a quiet and peaceful life in the

countryside. So why not come and have a holiday with me for a week? You could enjoy some clean

air and I would love the company. There are lots of nice hikes to go on near my house, and my mom

is a great cook!

Maybe I could come and have a little holiday at your house after that? I’d love to come and

experience city life for a few days. We could go to the theatre, eat out in a restaurant or two and you

could take me sightseeing!

Of course, this all depends if it’s okay with you and with your parents. I’ve already asked my

mom, and she sounded quite happy about the idea. Mom always enjoys having guests to stay.

Let me know what you think! If you like the idea, we can start making a plan.

Take care,

Rachel

recorded question. When you hear a question, choose the correct answer.

1.

M: I don’t have much money, but I’d love to travel the world.

W: Why don’t you go on a working vacation? I’m sure you could find a seasonal job.

Q: What does the woman suggest?

2.

W: I don’t want to work in an office all summer. I hate being indoors.

M: Why not get a job as a fruit picker? You’ll get lots of fresh air.

Q: What does the woman dislike?

3.

M: My uncle’s looking for workers on his farm at harvest time.

W: That sounds fun. Is it well-paid though?

Q: What does the woman want to know?

4.

W: You look great! Where have you been?

M: I’m just back from my working vacation. I’ve been working as a surfing instructor.

Q: What’s the man been doing?

5.

W: How’s Martha? Is she still studying or has she got a part-time job?

Section B

Directions: Listen to the two conversations and answer the questions.

Conversation 1

W: Hi Peter! What are your plans for the summer?

M: Hi Stacey. I’m thinking about taking a working vacation actually.

W: That sounds exciting! What do you think you’ll do?

9

M: Well, I’m thinking about getting a job at a theme park. You know I enjoy dressing up and working

with children!

W: Yes, you’d be great at that! Are there a few job possibilities?

M: Yeah. This one looks really good. It’s in Paris, France.

W: Wow! Is it well-paid?

M: The money’s not great, but they pay for your travel and accommodation.

W: Sounds wonderful, Peter. Good luck!

Conversation 2

W: Hi Mark. Are you still planning your around-the-world trip?

M: I’m not sure. I think I might have changed my mind about that.

W: Really? Why? Is it too expensive?

M: No, it’s not that. The thing about traveling around the world in a year is that you don’t get to know

places very well. I’m not sure if I want to rush from place to place.

W: You mean, you want to get to know the culture of the place you visit?

M: Yeah, that’s right. I’d like to learn the language, meet some of the locals—not just see the sights

with all of the other tourists.

W: So, what’s the solution then?

M: I might just choose one country and stay there for longer. And maybe get a job.

W: What kind of job?

M: Well, I thought about teaching English somewhere. The money’s not so bad and it’s a great way of

meeting people.

them. We went to the park, and once, for a treat, their parents took us all to a theme park. I learned so

much from the experience and I would definitely consider a working vacation again!

Hi Alex,

Mom and Dad say “hello”!

Greetings from Chengdu! We’re having a wonderful holiday here and the weather is very good—sunny but not too hot. We arrived at our hotel last Saturday and on our first day we went to see the

giant pandas—they are so beautiful!

We’ve been sightseeing every day—we’ve been to Mount Qingcheng and Wenshu Temple. And

of course, we’ve spent lots of time in Jinli street—the shops there are amazing!

We’ve been enjoying some delicious local food too—Chengdu smoked sausage is my favorite.

See you soon,
