Read a short interview with a student and answer the questions.

Interviewer: What are your summer plans?

Michelle: I’m going to spend my summer

actively. My best friend is going to go hiking, so I

hope I can join her. I’m also taking a trip to Italy

with my parents in August. It’s going to be really

hot there at that time.

Interviewer: Are you going to do some

volunteer work or study?

Michelle: I did some volunteer work last year, so

this summer I’m not going to do that. Actually,

I’m just doing an Italian course before our trip,

so I’m going to be quite busy.
