Mum: Are you ready to go on your camping trip tomorrow, Susana?

Susana: Yes, I think so mum! I have already packed everything I need there.

Mum: That's great! Remember, if you want to enjoy yourself and have a good time, you need to respect and follow the camp trip leader's rules.

Susana: I know mum... Let's see the activities and recomendations the camp leader has for the trip.

Mum: Tell me! what activities are going to do there?

Susana: Wow, we have lotsof exciting plans! look, inthe mornings we are doing different kinds of water activities. We are going to have swimming lessons, then we are going canoeing or kayaking. In the afternoons we are planning to go hiking and horse riding. The camp leader recommends that we use a summer hat and sunscreen if we don't want to get sunburned.

Mum: And what about the recommendation to do water activities?

Susana: Ok, the camp leader says: "if campers want to do water activities, they need to wear a swimsuit and life vest to be safe"

Mum: And... What are you doing in the evening?

Susana: It depends on the day. For example; on Sunday, we're going to have a campfire, and we're going to tell stories, sing songs and cook hot dogs. It's just great!

Mum: It sounds like fun! Just don't forget to get up early if you plan to do all these things. Have a nice trip!

Susana: I know Mum. Please, the trip's supposed to be fun!
