The key answer of exercise 2

a)

• Michael, the presenter → India
• Agnes → the Middle East (she mentions she's been to Lebanon but doesn't specify whether this is the country she wants to revisit)
• Ewan → Spain
• Mila → Ethiopia
• Tricia → Portugal
• Praneet → the UK
• Simon → Germany
• Michael → somewhere warmer than Britain

b)

• Michael, the presenter → India has a culture quite different from his own and the country would challenge his cultural values.
• Agnes → she studies Arabic and would like to 'live that language in practice'. She's already had a flavour of the culture when she visited Lebanon and the food was great.
• Ewan → one of the best European countries: friendly people, cheap things, 'the best'.
• Mila → Ethiopian food is 'awesome'. It has an interesting history as it was never really colonised.
• Tricia → She likes Portuguese culture and wants to become fluent in the language, which means going and living there.
• Praneet → She's loving the UK - it's beautiful, relaxing, there's art everywhere and she's in love with the 'spirit of London'.
• Simon → His wife is German; he's spent many years living there; Berlin's his favourite city on the planet; he loves speaking German, the country and the culture; it's a very 'grown-up place'.
• Michael → As he gets older, he doesn't like the winter weather in Britain.
