Q.Before you start packing your suitcase you will want to create a list of everything that you will need to bring with you. Most airlines let you bring one big suitcase with you so you’ll have to think carefully about what you want to bring…

On your blog site, post a list of everything that you need to pack for your trip. Put a star (*) beside the 5 items that you think are the most important.

___________________________

A. Thing I would take with me.

* Phone ( In case you need help)

* Clothes

*  Money (when you need to buy something)

* Map (In case you get lost)

* Mp3 player. (When you get bored and want to listen to music)

I’ll only take this with me because I would only go starving if someone is there I know or I go with someone.

Day 3 - Buying a ticket

Now that you have chosen your country it is time to start planning your trip. One of the first things you will need to do is to buy an airplane ticket. There are many, many airlines that fly around the world. Some of the most common are:

Air Canada Air New Zealand

                               

Emirates             Air Asia

                

When you get onto the airplane you will be asked to watch a short safety video that tells you how to stay safe when flying in a plane. Arguably, the best airline safety videos are produced by Air New Zealand.

In bullfighting people called ‘toreros and ‘matadors’ fight with a live bull. The toreros do most of the fighting and, ultimately, capture the bull and tie it up. Once it has been caught, the matador joins the fight and kills the bull. Although most toreros and matadors are men, there are some women who also compete in the sport.
