Meg's Travels

Meg talks about traveling to three continents and what she liked about each place she visited.

Todd: Hey, Meg. We are talking about traveling and visiting other countries. What countries have you traveled to?

Meg: I've been to quite a few different countries. For example, Spain, Belize and Indonesia.

Todd: Wow, three different continents.

Meg: Yeah, pretty far apart.

Todd: Wow, that's cool. So Spain, that must be a really nice country. What did you think of Spain?

Meg: Spain is really beautiful. There's a lot of beautiful nature and also some nice cities. While I was there, I lived in a small city called Caceres.

Todd: Oh nice. Are the people really friendly in Spain?

Meg: Yes. Actually, the people are very friendly and very helpful, especially if you're lost.

Todd: Oh, that's great. I hear Spanish food is really, really good.

Meg: Spanish food is delicious. I lived with a Spanish family and my Spanish mom cooked delicious meals every day for lunch. In Spain, seafood is really popular. So I ate a lot of fish and shrimp.

Todd: Oh, I love fish and shrimp.

Meg: Me too.

Todd: Now, Spain is really warm, right?

Meg: Yes. Spain was very hot while I was there during the summer.

Todd: Oh yeah? How hot? How hot does it get?

Meg: It got up past 40 Degrees Celsius during the summer.

Todd: Wow.

Meg: Yeah. It was pretty hot.

Todd: Does it rain?

Meg: It does rain. But when I was there in the summer, it didn't rain very often.

Todd: So what about Belize? Belize is a really small country.

Meg: Belize is very small, but it's also hot similar to Spain in the summer.

Todd: Why did you go to Belize?

Meg: I went to Belize on a study trip for school, and I stayed there for about two weeks.

Todd: Okay. Now, does Belize have good food?

Meg: Belize also has good food. There was a family that cooked for us and we had a lot of delicious almost Mexican type food.

Todd: Oh really? So for example, what do you eat? Like, what do people eat in Belize?

Meg: People eat – it's kind of like a taco but flat with a tortilla, and some meat and vegetables on top and some spices that make it really delicious.

Todd: So the last country is Indonesia. When did you go to Indonesia?

Meg: I actually went to Indonesia just last year.

Todd: Oh wow. How long did you stay?

Meg: I only stayed there for about a week.

Todd: Oh yeah? Oh, short trip.

Meg: Yeah, it was a short trip, but I was just visiting some friends there.

Todd: Where did you go?

Meg: I went to Jakarta and Bali.

Todd: Oh, okay. So I hear Bali has really beautiful beaches. Is it true?

Meg: Yeah, it's true. There are a lot of famous and beautiful beaches in Bali.

Todd: Oh, did you surf in Bali?

Meg: I've never surfed before. Usually, when I went to the beach, I just wanted to put my feet in the water.

Todd: Oh yeah. Now, Bali also has very famous scenery on the inside like the rice fields. Did you see the rice fields of Bali?

Meg: No, I didn't see the rice fields. But I did go to some famous historical spots.

Todd: So of the three countries – Spain, Belize and Indonesia – what country was your favorite?

Meg: Maybe Spain was my favorite because I love learning language and it was really nice to stay with my Spanish family.

Todd: Yeah. I could see that. I really want to go to Spain, and I hope to go soon.

Meg: I hope you can go too. It's beautiful.
