Read the texts (1—4) and some information on four people and decide to which places they will go for their holidays

People watch horse races^1 in many countries of the world. But if you want to see camel races, go to Saudi Arabia [ˈsaʊdi əˈreɪbiə]. In the Camel Cup^2 there are 15 camels. Some camels don't finish the race: they stop or sit down. It's very difficult to ride a camel. The best camel riders are women. They are lighter than men and camels like them more.

In London there is a very interesting place. Its name is Covent Garden. Some time ago it was a big vegetable market. Now there are shops, cafés, tea shops and coffee houses here. Some people come to Covent Garden to watch street artists and street dancers.

Ireland is a good place for holidays. Irish people are very friendly^3. They enjoy talking and like having parties. A lot of people come to Ireland because it is a very beautiful country with its green hills, woods and lakes. People in Ireland love singing and dancing. There are a lot of places where you can hear Irish music.

Yellowstone Park in the USA is a very interesting place. It has a big volcano [vɒlˈkeɪnəʋ]. This super volcano is deep under the ground^4 and people can't see it. What they can see is geysers [ˈɡi:zəz] of hot water.

Fanny likes to meet people. She loves music too.

Josh loves to visit places where people don't often go and see unusual things.

Lydia likes hot countries and photography. She wants to take some funny pictures.

Roger enjoys big cities, comfortable hotels and good food.
