3.1 Your friend shares his ideas about an upcoming trip. Listen to him and tell your groupmates about it. Do not forget to substitute the pronoun He instead of I.

I’ve heard so much about Britain. But soon I’ll see everything myself. The trip is rather expensive, that is why my parents will lend me some money and I will book a flight and a room in a youth hostel. I will not buy a holiday package because I do not want to deal with a travel agency as they will charge more. I’ll buy an e-ticket and will choose my favorite window seat. I won’t take a direct flight to London. I think I’ll change planes in Europe. The journey will last longer, but it will be cheaper.
