IT WAS JUST A HOLIDAY, BUT IT CHANGED MY LIFE.

VICTORIA

1 She is working at Monkey World (which looks after apes which have been ill-treated).

2 She was working as a manager in Next, a chain store.

3 She went on a working holiday to Borneo.  She worked with apes and enjoyed it. When she came back she found it difficult to return to her old life. She decided to go back to university to study biology.

4 She is really happy now. She feels that she’s doing something important, not wasting her life.

SALLY

1 She’s living on the Greek island of Lipsi.

2 She was working in London, working for American Express. She had a good salary and social life but she didn’t enjoy getting up early or the bad weather.  

3 She went on holiday  to Lipsi, a Greek island, with a friend and loved it – the people, the weather, the food, the mountains. She decided to apply for a job with the travel company who organized her holiday. She got a job as a tourist guide on the island.

4 She’s very happy there. She can’t imagine living in London again.
