pickup truck uncomfortable cheerfully responded careful motorcyclists

Student A : We are planning to go on a hiking trip during the coming school holidays. We might need to
hitchhike along the way. Any stories or tips and (1) advice ?
Student B : My sister and I were on holiday in Melbourne and we had to hitchhike from a tourist site to
the hotel having missed the last bus. Two vans came by but we (2) did not accept their
offers. They were driven by two men and we did not feel good about that. When a beautiful
(3) camper van stopped and gave us a lift, we accepted. It was a family with two kids. Be
(4) selective because you can never tell.
Student A : You’re right. We should be wary and selective. Thanks for the advice.
Student C : I have had an interesting experience. I didn’t have to wait long; the first car that drove past picked
me up. It was a (5) pickup truck already carrying a number of people, but I managed to
squeeze in. I accepted the ride because there is (6) safety in numbers .
Student B : It must have been (7) uncomfortable and crowded.

on the way. We even witnessed a hippo car accident!

Student D : I often recall my experience with a broad smile. A group of (8) motorcyclists hung
around the gas station. Of course, I wasn’t going to ask them for a ride with my huge
backpack. One looked at me and offered a ride. “If you weren’t on the bikes, I’d ask for a ride!” I
(9) cheerfully responded . He then explained that they had a truck, so I could catch a ride
and I did. Be (10) careful of the type of transport offered.
Student A : Very interesting stories and tips! Thank you.
