1. Here are some things that people always take with them when they travel, and their reasons for

taking them. Match the travel essentials to the reasons.

2. What are your travel essentials? Why?

3. The extracts below are from guidebooks for Iceland and Zimbabwe. Read the extracts and match them to the countries.

There are three things that no traveller here should be without: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a torch. Take a tracksuit for mornings and evenings in game parks, with shorts for the daytime. A jacket and warm socks are a good idea as it can get cold at night. Other items which will be handy are a small travel alarm, a basic first aid kit, a water bottle, a towel, a camera and film, a penknife, and any batteries that you need. Take insect repellent, suncream, and a money belt.

Warm clothing will be of great importance to everyone. Between May and September you should take several pairs of thick socks, heavy windproof gloves, high-protection sunglasses, a wool hat, a jumper, hiking shorts, wool shirt and trousers ( jeans are cold and uncomfortable when wet ), and a water proof jacket. Travellers in winter need to prepare for Arctic conditions. If you’re camping, take your own stove, and as much dried food as possible.

4. Imagine you’re going to one of these countries. How many things have you got already and what would you have to buy?

5. There are lots of compound nouns in the texts, like sleeping bag. How

many can you make from these words? Match the two parts.
