Of course, I’d really love to go there. I’ve always dreamed of seeing the Pyramids. They look really great in photos. 2. Girl 1: I just love airplanes. I don’t know why, but for me they’re really exciting. I’ve been on planes lots of times and it always feels great, especially when you take off! It’d be great to be able to fly one. That’s my dream--- to fly!

13. 3. Boy 2: I like watching travel programmers no television. There was a good series last year. The presenter went round the world visiting all the major capitals. I’d love to do that, you know, go to places like Paris, Sydney, Beijing. It would be a great experience. 4. Girl 2: I’ve always loved water, you know. The first time I got into a canoe was when I was about eight. But my dream is to go down the Amazon. It wouldn’t be easy, but I think it’d be a real challenge. And just think of all the things you would see – the forest, the wildlife, small villages.
