Instructions: Read the article. Answer True or False.

My friend Jettrin’s job is cool! What does he do? Well, he’s a tour guide for divers. Jettrin is
Thai and is 24 years old. I think his job is interesting because people from all around the
world come to Thailand to dive-bucear in the sea with Jettrin. So every day he meets
people from different countries. Some of Jettrin’s friends are from Ireland, Japan, New
Zealand, Canada, Uruguay, and Greenland. Wow! His life is exciting, and he has a good
salary too-tambien.
In my job, I see the same-misma people every day. I’m a diver too, but not for tourists. I
dive for seafood-mariscos with my brother and father. We catch-pescar/atrapar octopus-
pulpos and shellfish-mariscos. My family and I then sell-vender the seafood to restaurants.
My name is Luis and I’m 24 like Jettrin. My salary isn’t good, though-aunque. We are poor-
pobre and life isn’t easy, but we are happy. We come-venir from Bioko, Equatorial Guinea.
We are Equatorial Guinean and we speak Spanish here. We are the only-único country in
Africa where people speak Spanish. Tourists come here from Spain, but not from many-
muchos other-otros countries. I sometimes-algunas veces want to meet-reunirse more
people like-como Jettrin does, but I enjoy-disfrutar my days with my brother and father.
Diving is difficult and it isn’t a safe-segura occupation. The sea is sometimes very cold-frío
and there-allí are many dangerous fish. However-sin embargo, for me, the work is very
interesting. I think other jobs are boring-aburrido. Police officers, pilots, and photographers
aren’t like us-no son como nosotros. We can stay-quedarnos underwater-bajo el agua for
10 minutes! Jettrin and I are very lucky-afortunado men.

Instructions: Read the article. Then choose True or False.

My teenage son, Donny, is traveling alone for the first time to visit his grandparents in Peru.
He has a flight early Saturday morning at eight thirty. I am sharing a few pointers with him
to make his travel easy.

1. Donny has two bags. He should tie a sock to his bags so that he can find them.
2. He should check the expiration date of his passport.
3. He should take a good book with him.
4. He should take some snacks. (I think some beef jerky, and a couple of oranges or a
mango.)
5. He should make a copy of his passport.
6. He shouldn’t wear expensive jewelry.
7. He shouldn’t take a lot of cash. (People lose cash and it’s dangerous to carry. The best
idea is to take a credit card. Donny already has one credit card.)

What else? I think Donny should take a sweater because it’s sometimes cold on the
airplane. Oh, and he shouldn’t forget to buy a nice present for his grandparents! (Maybe
some gloves and a scarf is OK.)

Donny is taking the shuttle bus to the airport on Saturday because it’s so early in the
morning. It’s also quick and cheap and he actually wants to be independent and do
everything on his own.

He has his passport and visa. He knows that at the airport he has to check in and go
through security before he boards the airplane. Once he arrives in Peru, he has to go
through immigration, claim his baggage, go through customs, and finally meet my dad
outside of the customs exit.
