Hey Mike!

Thanks for asking me about my summer plans today in class. I didn't want to say anything with
Elise and Savannah there, but I can tell you now. My mom recently told me that I could bring one
friend with us on our family camping trip. But I can't decide who to bring: Elise or Savannah. Both
girls are a lot of fun and love to go on adventures. My family usually goes hiking and sleeps under
the night sky for at least one night. I'm not sure Elise would like that. She likes to wear cute outfits
and wash her hair every day, but there won't be any real bathrooms. Then there's Savannah.
Savannah doesn't mind sleeping outside, but she loves her phone and listening to music. My
parent's rule is no phones! So, Savannah is better at being outside, but she can't stand not having
her phone. And Elise is more careful about her hair and clothes, but she says she likes camping. If
I ask the wrong friend, this might be the worst camping trip ever. What should I do?

Thanks,
Brittany

Short Answer

Read the passage. Complete the sentences. Select the correct word.

Andean Panpipes
One of the most beautiful instruments in the world is the Andean panpipe. The outside of the
panpipe looks common enough. It's usually light yellow with some colorful string around it. But its
music is what makes it so beautiful. When you listen to the Andean panpipe, you can imagine
yourself high in the Andes mountains. You're standing on one of the longest chains of mountains
in the world, and you feel like you are traveling back in time to the days of the Incan empire.
The ancient Incans created the panpipe using plants that grew in the highest lake on the planet,
Lake Titicaca. Music was an important part of life, and Incans played the panpipe at home, during
festivals, and for other purposes, such as helping a sick person get well. Today people still play the
panpipe, and tourists can even buy one at a local market. Andean panpipes became popular around
the world in the 1970s when traditional musicians traveled to bigger cities to record their songs.
Now you can buy a CD of Andean panpipe music or look it up online, no traveling back in time
required!
