Objective: A vacation experience

Use the audio to guide your reading then answer the questions below.

Today is Sunday, June 14th but yesterday was Saturday, June 13th, and Ana came back from a short trip.

Four days ago, Ana took a direct flight to a coastal city. The flight was really short, but it was very bumpy. Ana had a window seat, and her brother had an aisle seat. At the airport, a security guard checked their boarding passes, and an agent told them the gate. The plane departed on time and arrived early.

During the trip, Ana went snorkeling and hung out with friends. One day, she visited a museum and learned about other cultures.

Another day, she did nothing, and it was so relaxing. They also took a tour by train. The train trip was pretty scenic and quite comfortable, but the drive to the hotel was kind of boring.

Ana enjoyed the trip a lot. Last month was May, and she worked every day. This trip was really special for her.
