Tania’s Trekking

April 24th, 2008

Dear Dad,

Today is the second day of my trek around Mount Annapurna. I am exhausted and my legs are shaking. I just hope I
can complete the trek. Nepal is a fascinating country, but I have a lot of things to learn. Everything is so different, and
I’m trying to adapt to the new way of life here. I’m learning a little bit of the language to make communication;
unfortunately, I don’t learn foreign languages quickly. Although I don’t understand much yet, I think I am improving.
At the moment, I’m travelling with Liam, a student from Saint Francis University in America. He is a nice guy, but
impatient. He always walks ahead of me and complains that I am too slow. He is younger and stronger than I am.
Right now, Liam is sitting with the owner of the inn. They’re discussing the differences between life in America and
life in Nepal. I don’t know the real name of the owner, but everybody just calls him Tam. Tam speaks English very
well and he is trying to teach Liam some words in Nepali. Unfortunately, it seems very hard for Liam to learn foreign
languages. I just hope we don't get lost!

I) Read the text and check each statement True or False.

F T
1 Nepal is an interesting country, she knows everything about it.
2 Tania learns foreign languages easily
3 At the moment, she’s travelling with a student from America
4 Tam is the owner of the inn, not their tour guide
