R:Hi guys, How was your last vacation? Where did you travel?
J: Of course…Last month I traveled to the Rainforest in Peru. I took a tourist pack which
included hotel, food and transportation.
S:Oh that's so great! Did you eat the traditional food of the rainforest?
J: Yes, it was delicious, except for the zuri, which is a white and fat worm from the
palm.

A: Oh, I know but for my eyes it’s not pleasant either. Well,let's talk about another
thing, like what did you pack?; for example, I think the most important thing you had to
pack is summer clothes, a pair of sunglasses, insect repellent, sunscreen because the
weather in the rainforest is hot.

R: Yeah I think the same as her about the pack, but  tell me, what about the hotel
where you stayed? Was it comfortable? or did you have a bad time?

J: The hotel was fantastic, it was located in the middle of the rainforest. There was no
electricity but the views were incredible.

A: Which places were the most beautiful places you visited?

J: The most interesting place I visited was a place where the macaws used to eat clay.
There was also a viewpoint from which you could see the entire jungle.

S:Oh I hope you have had a beautiful vacation!
