*Questions ("Miriam’s disastrous trip")

a. What are some things that Miriam definitely should have done before she left on her trip?
- Miriam should have packed everything and look for more information about Indonesia such as cheaper hotels and the best way to get at the orangutan rehabilitation center.

b. What are some other things that Miriam could have done to make her trip more enjoyable?
- She could have travelled with a friend and visit different aisles even though she didn't know any place.

c. What should she do now?
- She should reorganize her trip and her money before making any decision. Also, she should consider more options to enjoy her trip in case she doesn't have enough money to get at the orangutan rehabilitation center and see other posibilities of going back to Indonesia later.

  1. Excellent ideas!
    When speculating about what's happening in a picture you probably want to use the present tense e.g. They must/could/might be.....
    unless you are speculating about what happened before the picture was taken.

    Great advice for Miriam.
