Eso suena incre\u00edble. \u00bfCu\u00e1ndo volviste a Barcelona?<br \/>\nMarta: La semana pasada. Qu\u00e9 bueno es estar de vuelta en casa.<br \/>\nPeter: \u00bfNo echas de menos Australia? He o\u00eddo que es un lugar maravilloso.<br \/>\nMarta: Seguro que es un pa\u00eds muy bueno. Pero no lo echo de menos, no. El mayor problema para m\u00ed fueron los animales. En Espa\u00f1a no tenemos animales peligrosos. En Australia tienen todos los animales peligrosos y nunca me relaj\u00e9.<br \/>\nPeter: Me lo puedo imaginar. \u00bfViste cocodrilos?<br \/>\nMarta: S\u00ed, vi cocodrilos varias veces. Y muchas serpientes, lagartos y ara\u00f1as. Ranas y sapos venenosos tambi\u00e9n.<br \/>\nPeter: \u00bfC\u00f3mo fue ver un cocodrilo en la vida real?<br \/>\nMarta: Pas\u00e9 much\u00edsimo miedo. Son enormes. \u00a1No nos atacaron ni nada, pero estaban alrededor nuestro, mir\u00e1ndonos, planeando su almuerzo!<br \/>\nPeter: Creo que yo les tendr\u00eda m\u00e1s miedo a las serpientes. Tengo fobia a las serpientes.<br \/>\nMarta: Las serpientes son muy comunes en Australia. Yo todo los d\u00edas miraba debajo de mi cama y buscaba en todos los rincones del lugar donde me hospedaba. Incluso vi serpientes en el mar cuando nadaba.<br \/>\nPeter: Seguro que tambi\u00e9n hab\u00eda una fauna hermosa y no agresiva.<br \/>\nMarta: Por supuesto. Nunca hab\u00eda visto mariposas, lib\u00e9lulas y tortugas tan asombrosas.<br \/>\nPeter: \u00bfY los mosquitos?<br \/>\nMarta: No hab\u00eda tantos. Lo pas\u00e9 peor con los mosquitos cuando estuve de vacaciones en Escocia, la verdad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on? How much did you understand of the listening?
