countries you’d like to visit.
B In pairs, compare your lists. Say one thing you’d like to do in each country.

2 Read the text about Jordan Axani and Elizabeth Gallagher. What was unusual about their trip?

Skill reading for detail

When you read a text, first look at the pictures and title, and then skim the text to understand the main ideas.
After that, read the questions carefully. Underline any key words. Find the part of the text with the
information you need, and read it slowly and carefully. The questions may repeat key words from the
text, or they may express the ideas in a slightly di erent way.

3 Read the Skill box. Answer the questions.

1 When did Jordan and his girlfriend’s relationship end?
2 What did Jordan do about their vacation when their relationship ended?
3 What happened when Jordan placed an ad on Reddit?
4 How was Jordan and Elizabeth’s relationship at the end of the trip?
5 What did Jordan do after the trip?

4 Match the questions to the paragraphs. Then write the answers.

1 How old is Jordan? 2
2 How long was the around-the-world trip?
3 How many people responded to Jordan’s ad?
4 Where did Jordan and Elizabeth spend New Year’s Day?
5 Which city was Jordan and Elizabeth’s favorite?

5 Read the Text builder. Complete the chart with the adverbs in the box.

Text builder adverbs of probability

We use adverbs of probability to say how certain we feel about something.

Maybe and perhaps usually come at the beginning of a sentence:
Maybe one day there will be a movie about their adventures.
Other adverbs of probability usually come before the main verb, but after the verb be:
Things definitely felt a little strange at first. Prague was possibly their favorite place.

definitely maybe perhaps possibly probably certainly

It’s certain It’s almost certain It’s not certain

6 A Look at the list of activities below. Check ( ) the ones you’d definitely like to do, put a
question mark (?) next to the ones you’d possibly like to do, and a cross (X) next to the ones
you definitely wouldn’t like to do.
ride an elephant fly in a helicopter learn an instrument
climb a volcano appear on TV run a marathon
write a book learn a new skill do a parachute jump
B Compare your ideas in pairs.
A I’d definitely like to ride an elephant. B Really? I definitely wouldn’t want to do that! I’d like to climb a volcano.

The best road trip

In the early 1940s, Sullivan Richardson, a journalist from
Detroit, got into his white Chrysler with two friends and
drove 14,000 miles from North America to the very tip of
South America.
It’s one of the greatest car adventures of all time. There
were no roads for a lot of their trip. The three men drove
over mountains and through deserts and jungles. At night,
they camped next to the car. People said the trip was impossible, but
after nine months and one day, they nally reached their destination in Chile. It was the trip
of a lifetime! Now, more than 75 years later, friends Jack Reid and Ben Davis are going to
take a similar trip along the longest road in the world – the Pan-American Highway, but in a
comfortable camper!
