ANSWERS

1.

Samy and Safwat have been chosen to travel to Paris on a business trip to learn to use some new machines. It's rare to let young people in their company travel abroad. Usually older people are chosen. However, their manager has chosen them because of their hard work. They have arranged everything: they’ve booked the tickets and packed their bags. They are going to stay for a fortnight; they will spend twelve days at the company and then they will have two days to tour round the city before they return to Egypt. It will be a busy trip; they will have little free time. They are enthusiastic to see another community that speaks a different language and has different interests. Samy and Safwat are going to stay in a hotel where they will have two meals, breakfast and dinner. Two days ago, they had a long telephone conversation with the French instructor who will teach them how to use the new machines. He recommended them to take light clothes because the climate is hot and humid in summer. He will be waiting for them in the airport. Samy and Safwat think that he is very friendly and they are sure that they will enjoy this exprience.
