Where did they go for holiday?

Listen to the texts and then match the photos with the right holiday description:

1. Hi, I’m Ben. I had a great holiday! It was peaceful, quiet and very, very green. I was lucky
as it didn’t rain at all. I cooked all the meals myself. I did a lot of fishing, swimming and bird
watching. I had lots of neighbours but there were no people at all.
2. Hi, my name is Monica. My holiday was very busy and interesting. I did a lot of travelling.
I travelled by plane, by train and I had to take a taxi a few times as well. I saw some lovely
buildings. I did loads of shopping and ate in restaurants. I also took lots of pictures.
3. Hello, I’m Toby. My holiday was very relaxing. Actually, I didn’t do much except for
swimming, reading books and eating ice creams as it was really hot. Oh, and I got a great
suntan. Shame there were so many people around, though.
