1. John: “I’m not sure if I should get some local currency before leaving home, or after arriving for my vacation.” |
A. Protect your stuff: When going out and about, make sure you leave your valuables in the hotel safe, especially your passport and credit cards if you don’t need them. Don’t wear expensive jewelry as someone might try to snatch it. |
2. Kim: “I like exploring new cities using maps because it’s so much fun finding my own way around. Will I be safe walking around the streets on my own?” |
B. Don’t attract too much attention: Try to not look like a tourist. Be discreet when looking at maps and when taking out money to buy things, especially on the street. |
3. Lisa: “I love wearing necklaces and bracelets when I’m on vacation. Is there any reason I shouldn’t wear nice things when I’m travelling? |
C. Keep your friends and family updated: After finalizing your itinerary, email a copy to a few trusted people who can follow your trip. Check in regularly with your family after arriving so they know you’re where you’re supposed to be. |

Hi, Trang
It’s awesome to hear from you. It sounds like you’re having a great time studying in Singapore.
You wanted advice on what career you should choose. I;m happy to (1) _______ out with some advice. You said want to be an artist, but your mom wants you to be an accountant. Your situations is fairly normal, so don’t worry too much. Give it some time and you an probably figure (2) _______ the right thing to do.
You could definitely be a great artist. You’ve so creative and you’d really like it. I think you could even work form home as most artists do that. Working from home would be nice. However, as an artist, it could be difficult making a good salary. Some artists become rich and famous, but I think most artists struggle to make money. There’s not always steady work. I think if you (3) _______ out some detailed research first about job opportunities for artists, you will find out if it will be a steady job or not.
Being an accountant is also a good choice, and I understand why your mom wants you to do that. It’s a steady job, and you’d make a good salary. I know you’d be a great accountant. They work as part of a big team, so they have to deal (4) _______ lots of different people. I know it’s your decision but I agree with your mom that being an accountant is better option for you. If you find a good work-life balance, you could be an accountant and do art for fun in your free time.
Let me know what you decide. I’m looking forward to getting (5) _______ with you when you come back.
Speak soon,
Vinh

Hey, Andrew!
How are you doing? I heard that you’re having a great vacation in Indonesia. I’m so jealous! What fun things are you doing and when are you going to be back? We should totally meet up when you’re home.
I’m writing because I need your advice on something. I’ve just graduated, and (1) _______ I’m looking for a job, I think it’s a good idea to take some courses to improve my chance of getting hired. I’m not sure what to do exactly, though. Maybe data analysis or digital marketing? What do you think? Do you know what skills are in (2) _______ these days?
Another thing that I want to improve is my lack of (3) _______. I often find myself losing my interest and motivation after a few weeks. You’ve always been good at focusing on and completing your studies. Can you give me some tips to get me started and help me (4) _______ this skill? I don’t want to start something that I won’t finish and waste my time again.
Also, I’ve been thinking about doing something interesting for myself, like taking up a sport or an instrument. Right now, I’m thinking tennis or the guitar. You used to play both, right? What did you like and not like about them? I’ve been following some online tutorials on how to play the guitar. (5) _______ I think I might actually like it. We could play together after I get better. That would be fun.
Anyway, I just want to know your thoughts because you’re the smartest person I know. And let’s definitely get together when you’re back. Enjoy the rest of your trips and send lots of photos!
Cheers,
