STUDY SKILLS
Read the statements and underline the key words. Listen for words and phrases that mean the
same. This will help you to match each speaker to what they said. Be careful because you may
hear information that could distract you.

Listen and match the people (1-5) with what each says about their experience (A-H).
There are three extra sentences that you don't need.
A. My friends had to call someone to find me.
B. The local people helped us get home.
C. I regularly take trips of this kind.
D. Many others on the trip had the same problem.
E. The weather changed halfway through the trip.
F. The problem started on the way home.
G. I ignored some good advice on the trip.
H. This was my first time on such a trip.
