Unit 7: Going Away

Lesson C and D

What should I do?

I have an opportunity to travel to a country where I have never been before, but I’m not sure whether to go or not.

I only have about 10 days to spend there. It takes more than 30 hours flying each way. I don’t need to pay for accommodation or food. I only need to pay

for my flight ticket (2 500 000 won). I have to work the day after I get back. I have to spend all of Christmas on a plane. This place has the most famous beaches and rainforests in the

world. I will probably never have a chance to go there again.
