Emma: Hey, Ray! Where are you going?
2
Ray: Hi, Emma. I’m going climbing.
Emma: Climbing? I thought you were afraid of heights!
Ray: Not any more! I went climbing on Ben Nevis in Scotland during the summer holiday. I was really nervous at first. But in
the end, I had a wonderful time.
Emma: Ben Nevis? That’s the highest mountain in the UK!
Ray: Yes, it is. It’s 1,345 metres high. I climbed all the way to the top! It was amazing.
Emma: Who were you with?
Ray: My uncle. He lives in Inverness in Scotland and I stayed with him for two weeks in July. He goes climbing every
weekend. He even climbs in the winter, on days when there isn’t any snow.
Emma: What was the weather like when you were there?
Ray: It was quite warm in Inverness. But it was cool in the mountains. It was perfect weather for climbing.
Emma: So, are you going to the mountains now?
Ray: Don’t be silly! The closest mountains are two hours away. I’m going to the climbing wall at the sports centre. What
about you, Emma? Where are you going?
Emma: I’m going to meet some friends. I met them during the holidays while my cousin and I were volunteering for the city.
Ray: What kind of volunteer work did you do?
Emma: We helped to clean up the park. We picked up rubbish and planted trees in the rain – not as exciting as your holiday,
right?
Ray: I think that’s great! It’s more important than climbing mountains. Well, have a good time with your friends, Emma.
Emma: Thanks, Ray. Enjoy your climb.
