Choosing a Camping Trip

The people below are all planning a camping trip with a group. Below are descriptions of eight different camping trips. Decide which trip would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Omar

Omar loves adventure and wants a camping trip with challenging activities. He would like to try climbing or canyoning. He is happy to sleep in a tent with basic facilities. He only has three days, so the trip must be short and very active.

Grace

Grace wants a quiet nature break to reduce stress. She would like a small campsite with few people and no loud evening events. She enjoys birdwatching and gentle walks. She prefers a place that does not allow cars inside the camping area.

Tom and Priya

Tom and Priya are responsible for food for the team. They need a trip where they can cook for everyone, so they want a shared kitchen area and a place to buy basic groceries nearby. One person is vegetarian, so they want fresh local vegetables available.

Marta

Marta is bringing her 9-year-old son on the team trip. She needs a family-friendly campsite with safe activities for children during the day. She would like a swimming place nearby. The trip should include an evening campfire event that kids can join.

Lena

Lena is organising a weekend away for her team. She wants an easy trip because some colleagues are new to camping. They need comfortable toilets and showers. She also wants a short guided walk, but no extreme sports. The campsite must be reachable by train.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.
