11.3

Last year I got a new job and started earning/making a lot more money. I realised I could afford to spend more money on my holiday than I usually do and decided to spend a month in Australia. I knew it would be hot there and so I wouldn’t need to take warm clothes with me. In fact, I wore a t-shirt and jeans all the time I was there. I wore a hat all the time too, of course, to protect me from the sun. It was fantastic there. I spent a week sightseeing in Sydney and then spent the rest of the time travelling round the country. I even achieved my lifelong ambition of stroking a koala.
