3. Read the text and choose the correct answer.

When I finished my final year at school, I was really happy because I could go to South America. Ever since I had watched a video about South America in a Geography class, I had dreamed of going there. I adore nature – I spent my childhood going on nature walks with Dad – and nature doesn't get much more spectacular than in South America.

My parents had agreed that it was OK for me to go travelling for a year. They had done the same after school, and they said I was independent and sensible enough to go travelling. Their only concern was that I would love South America so much I might make up my mind to stay there! But there was no doing that for me.

My parents did have one condition, however. They would only let me go if I got good marks in my exams. I couldn't really argue with that – after all, they promised to pay for my flight! I managed to do well and ended with three As and two Bs, which I hadn't expected.

After looking into how other people of my age had decided to spend their gap year overseas, I decided that the best way to spend mine would be to work for six months as a volunteer teacher at a school in Ecuador, and then travel for six months. It was very important that I would be able to write on my CV that I had done something useful during my gap year.

The school where I was a volunteer teacher was situated in a little mountain village in Ecuador. I enjoyed every moment of my experience there, and I know now why people say teaching is such a rewarding career. After six months volunteering, me and two friends travelled around various countries in South America. Words can't describe how incredible the continent is! But if you want to go there, my advice to you is this – brush up your language skills before you go.

Now I'm back in London and I'm looking forward to starting university. But I have to say, the year in South America has given me the travel bug! I know I'm going to love my university life, but I'm also sure it's going to be hard without an-other exciting trip abroad!
