    2. Reading
    A. Read about Ken’s first trip abroad.

    My first trip abroad was to Auckland, New Zealand. It was about ten years ago and I went with three friends. Plane
    tickets were very expensive, so before we went I got a part-time job at a restaurant to save money. It was a long flight,
    about 12 hours from Japan, but it was relaxing and the food was surprisingly delicious. I was very excited, because it
    was my first time abroad.

    We stayed at a backpackers in the city center, because it was cheaper than a hotel.
    Every morning, we went to the beach to relax and play volleyball with the local people
    we met, then we went sightseeing in the afternoon. One friend and I went to Rotorua
    city by bus, but two of my friends stayed in Auckland to spend more time there.

    In Rotorua, we met a kind family and they took us to a rugby game, then we relaxed in
    a hot spring and saw a huge geyser. We also watched a traditional Maori performance
    and learned a lot about Maori culture. Then they invited us to stay with their family,
    so we stayed with them for a few days. I really enjoyed my time there. It was a
    fantastic trip and I want to return one day to see my new friends again!
