Jake: Katie. What was your first trip abroad?

Katie: It was with my primary school, four or five years ago. We went to Paris. I remember, we caught a train all the way down to the English coast and then we took a boat to Calais. Then we went by coach from Calais to Paris. It was a long trip.

Jake: What was Paris like?

 Katie: Oh. I loved it. We stayed in a really nice hotel near the centre and we saw all the famous sights - the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame. And we went on one of those boats on the River Seine.

Jake: Could you speak French at the time?

Katie: Not much. I could say some simple things, but that was all. But it made me want 

to learn to speak well. When I went into shops, I spoke to people. I remember I bought

 some French CDs 

when I was there. Oh, and I bought some French comics too. I read them again and again

 when I got back home. I've still got the CDs and comics now.

Jake: What was the food like?

Katie: It was great! I ate typical French food and I really liked it. My friend hated it. 

She just wanted to eat in fast-food restaurants.

Jake: Really? What was your favorite moment on the trip?

Katie: One evening we went to the cinema and watched a French comedy film. 

I couldn’t understand everything. But when I listened carefully, I understood some things, and I remember feeling really good about that
