Question

Listen to Anna talking to her colleague Dan about his holiday. Answer the questions.

Answer

  1. A cycling holiday
  2. They had been cycling in the mountains and were going downhill, back towards the hotel; James went round a tight bend too fast and went off the road and into some bushes and fell off. 
  3. They thought he might’ve hit his head because  he seemed confused; his knee was very swollen and he had a few cuts and bruises too.
  4. A car came past a minute or two later and the driver said she’d take him to hospital.
  5. They told him that there was nothing broken and nothing wrong with his head, but he’d need to stay in hospital as he needed a few stitches. They also told him not to cycle for a week as he needed to rest his knee.
