Question 1: Do you like music?
Kasia: Yes, I do.

Question 2: Have you visited any foreign countries?
Answer 1: Yes, I’ve visited two foreign countries, the UK and Egypt. My favourite foreign country was the UK because it’s so different to my own country. Another country I want to visit is France.
Answer 2: Yes, I’ve been abroad a couple of times, first to the UK, then to Egypt. I particularly enjoyed the UK because it’s so different to my own country. I’d also love to travel to France.⭐️
