before you get ready to leave? First of all, Id like to say
how much weve enjoyed our time with you over the last
week. Weve been organising our Adventure Weeks for
twelve years, and youve been one of our best groups.
On a personal level, I hope youll keep in touch with
your new friends. I also hope you remember what youve
learnt here. Working together to organise things is one
of the most important skills youll ever need. Itll help
you at school and when you leave home and get a job.

those of you who are travelling back home by plane, the
coach to the airport leaves at ten. Please dont be late.
We cant delay your planes departure! If you miss the
coach, youll have pay for a taxi to the airport, and the
fare is 30 euros.

Remember to put your passport in your hand luggage,

not in your suitcase. And have you all printed your
boarding passes? [Slight pause] No? OK, if you havent
printed your boarding pass, could you please go to
reception when I finish talking and theyll do that for
you. Itll save you time at the airport, and you can also
reserve the seat you want. And when youve printed
it, remember to keep your boarding pass with your
passport.

If youre travelling by train, a different coach is going to

take you to the station. It leaves at 11, so you have a bit
more time to fold up your sleeping bags and get all your
belongings into your backpacks.

Thats it. Its 9 oclock now, so Ill see some of you down

Dear Belinda, Im 14 and my best friend is ignoring me.
We usually do everything together but now she wont
talk to me or even look at me. I feel awful. What can I
do? Kate.

So if I decided to answer Kates letter, Id probably

start by asking her some questions. How long have you
known your friend? Has anything happened recently? For
example, has your friend started to hang out with other
people? Even though we often think we are the problem,
quite often the problem has nothing to do with us.

Id also probably suggest giving her friend some space.

In situations like this, its often good to find something
else to do. If you spend all your time thinking about the
problem, youll only get more upset. If you start doing
other things, however, youll quickly be able to see
whats really important to you.

But the best way to solve a problem is to talk about it.

We often think no one will understand us if we tell them
a problem. Thats simply not true. Problems usually
wont go away unless you talk about them. I should
know. Ive had this job for more than ten years now.
