A Holiday to Help Others

Last summer, my friend Kara and I had a unique opportunity. Instead of going on a package holiday as we       [must, would, had] normally do, we decided to volunteer in Puerto Rico.

Our friends and parents said it could be dangerous as we had to       [miss, cross, fly] the continent and we knew little about the place. However, we were determined to go. We went to a travel        [leader, guide, agent] who arranges holidays for volunteers and she organised everything.

We ended up in a mountain village in Puerto Rico which had been seriously damaged in a terrible storm. We stayed in a small hotel in the valley, so we had to cycle         [uphill, forward, back] to the village every morning. The ride was hard and the work was even harder, but it was very satisfying.

A couple of evenings a week we used to get a lift into the nearest town where we could have a delicious meal or go dancing with other volunteers. I have to say that Puerto Rican food might be the best I have ever tasted! We weren't ready to leave after two weeks, and our         [journey, tour, trip] home was a sad one. After this experience, I will never go on a usual holiday again.
