Becky Hi Tom. Are you having a good time in Barcelona?
Tom Yes, I am. I wasn’t very 1 about coming on this school exchange programme − in fact, I definitely didn’t want to do it. But now I’m having a great time. And Barcelona is a great city. It’s very 2 too − it isn’t dangerous to walk around the city at night.
Becky What about the school?
Tom Well, it’s in a nice part of Barcelona. I get on well with the students and I’m making friends here, too. So I really think I’m starting to 3 everyone.
Becky Is your host family nice?
Tom Yes. My Spanish isn’t very good, but they say really 4 things about it. They’re never 5 with me when I make mistakes, or it takes me a long time to explain something. So I’m really 6 to them.
Becky Is the house nice, too?
Tom Well, it’s quite small. I have to 7 a room with their son Manolo, so I don’t have much 8 . And I have to do a few 9 around the house, but that’s OK. And here’s the best thing: Manolo and I go to the beach every day after school.
Becky Hmm. It sounds great. You won’t want to come home!
