One writer matches with two sentences.

Airbnb is a great idea. People rent out rooms in their homes so that travellers can stay in a real house rather than a
hotel. There are places to stay all over the world and some are quite unusual. When I went to Paris, I stayed in
Nathalie’s spare room in her apartment. Although the room was nothing special, it was great to stay with a real French
person. She helped me with my French and told me about some good places to go that weren’t in my travel guide. One
day, she even took me to her favourite café. So actually, instead of going to touristy places, I did what the locals do
instead.
Emily, Manchester

I’ve only been camping once, but it was such a lot of work to put the tent up that I’ve never done it since. That’s why
my son booked a weekend of glamping for us. Glamping is very popular in the UK. It’s like camping, but without the
hard work. When we arrived at the campsite, everything was ready for us. We stayed in a Mongolian tent called a
yurt. We slept in real beds and cooked our food on a fire. We even had newspapers and fresh orange juice in the
morning. I loved it, but my son didn’t think that it was worth all that money. I understand why he thought that, but I’ll
definitely do it again.
Mary, Dublin

I have the best holidays when I go to music festivals. My favourite is called WOMAD, which stands for World of Music
and Dance. They happen all over the world, but the one I go to is in Wiltshire in July. I love it because you can listen to
music from around the world and you can try things that you’ve never done before, too. There’s lots of great food to
eat, yoga classes, crafts and entertainment. I never get bored. Actually, I go every year, and I’ve already got my tickets
for next year because you get a discount if you buy them early.
Stella, Cardiff

One of my favourite holidays was on a canal boat on the river Thames. It was such a relaxing holiday. You’re not
allowed to travel very fast on the river, so it takes ages to get anywhere and you have time to watch the ducks and
look at other wildlife. My life is very busy, so it was great to have some time just to look at things. You also go past
some beautiful houses on the river. I would love to do it again.

17 Read the forum posts. Match texts A–D with questions 1–5. One text matches with two questions.

A Dale – Bread maker

I can’t remember how many times our bread maker has been used since Mum got it at Christmas, but it’s a lot. I was a
bit worried because I read in a magazine that bread makers are one of those gadgets that people are often given as
presents, but then they never use them. I don’t know why that is because it looks really easy to use. You just put all the
ingredients in, press a button, and a couple of hours later you have a fresh loaf of bread. It beeps once when it’s ready!
I love waking up to the smell of fresh bread each morning and Mum says she’ll never buy a loaf of bread again, so I
think it was a really successful present.

B Karen – Spider catcher

I’m a bit frightened of spiders. I don’t mind the little ones, but I don’t like the huge ones that are as big as your hand. I
don’t like killing them though, so when my friend bought me a spider catcher, I was delighted. It’s a long stick with a
kind of brush at the end that picks up the spider without hurting it. Then you can put the spider of out the window. I
don’t know who it was invented by, but I think it’s a great idea.

C Jack – Key alarm

People say I’m a bit forgetful and they’re probably right. I often lose my keys, so when I was given a key alarm for my
birthday, I was really pleased. It’s a gadget that you attach to your keys. Then, if you don’t know where they are, you
can whistle or clap your hands and you’ll hear the alarm. It’s very loud, and it only stops when you find your keys and
press a button. It does save a lot of time when I’m leaving the house. Before I had the alarm, it took me five to ten
minutes to find my keys. These days all I have to do is whistle and I’m ready to go. The only bad thing about is that the
batteries run out quite quickly, so I’m trying to be a bit more careful with my keys in case the alarm’s not working.

D Elliot – Ice lolly maker

I was surprised when Mum bought me an ice lolly maker for my birthday. It seemed like a present for a young child.
But then I used it and realised that it was great. You put the ice lolly maker in the freezer. Then, when you want to
make a lolly, you just pour fruit juice into the maker. It freezes in about ten minutes, so you don’t have to wait very
long to eat the lolly. And you can be really creative. I’ve used different fruit juices and put nuts and yoghurt in, too.
It’s perfect for a hot day – really quick and healthy, and great fun however old you are!

Which gadget does the writer say ...

6 is useful if you have a bad memory? ___
7 is something that is used every day? ___
8 is popular with adults and children? ___
9 was invented to get rid of something? ___
10 is activated by sound? ___
