III. Read the text and choose the correct answer for each question below.
A round-the-world trip
Alice Woods and her brother Luke went on a special holiday.
When I was 16, my parents decided to take me and my brother Luke out of school for six
months to travel around the world. They wanted us to visit lots of different countries and have
new experiences. They said we were old enough to do that kind of trip and believed it was
better for us than spending six months in the classroom.

We both had to continue with our studies during the trip, so nearly every day we had online
classes in subjects like math and science. Our parents also made sure we studied the history
of the places we visited, and when we had time, we went to museum exhibitions or read
guidebooks.

We did some fantastic things on the trip, like sailing along the Mekong River in Vietnam and
visiting the Taj Mahal in India. Luke enjoyed travelling around the Amboseli National Park in
Kenya. He’s interested in wildlife and loved seeing the elephants. I enjoyed that too, but for
me the best part was visiting the Rocky Mountains in Canada. We camped there for a few days
and the views were amazing!
It was a great trip, but now we’re home again, I’m happy to be back at school and spending time
with my classmates. Everyone asks if I missed things while I was away – like my favorite food
or having my own room – but I tell them not really. It was an adventure and I enjoyed everything
about it.
