Tom and Brittany are friends, and they are on summer holiday now.

Read and listen to the telephone conversation and do the following exercises.

Hi, Brittany. How are you? Are you on holiday?

Yes, I'm in my grandpa's summer house.

Oh, nice. Is it big?

Yes, it's very big. It has got garden. My grandpa has got many animals. He has got ducks, a few chickens, and a dog.

It's lovely. Has he got any cats? I love cats a lot.

No, he hasn't. My aunt has got a cat. Its name is Kitty. My aunt lives near my grandpa. Her house is opposite the grandpa's.

Where is your grandpa's house?

It's in a small town in Hungary. It's beautiful.

What language does your grandpa speak?

He speaks Hungarian, but he knows English, too. What about you, Tom? Where are you?

I'm in China now. It's beautiful, but it isn't easy for me because I don't speak Chinese.

But Chinese food is delicious. Chinese culture is also very interesting.

China has got a lot of amazing places. I'm on the Great Wall of China now. It's great.

How nice. It is a different experience.

Yeah. Have a nice holiday, Brittany, and see you at school next week.

Thanks, Tom. See you. Bye.
