Script
Narrator: Lourdes and Susana always wanted to go abroad. They
were born in a small quiet village in the South of Spain and they
always dreamt about exploring new countries and getting to
know other cultures, however, they didn't know how. Years passed and the two girls saw how their dream
disappeared till one day, everything changed!
They finished secondary school and they didn't feel like going to university, so they decided to try some
Vocational Training. They were very enthusiastic about it and they finally chose Business, since they
thought it would be great one day to work within a company or even start their own! However, what they
had never thought about was that that decision would definitely change their lives.
They passed their first year with really good grades and it was time for them to decide where to do their
FCT internship. They thought about many companies till suddenly Lourdes came up with an idea!
Lourdes: Why don't we do our internship in London?
Narrator: Susana was shocked! She had never thought about that before!
Susana: In London? Holy cow! You must be joking!
Lourdes: Why not? Gema tried the same thing three years ago, and now she's working for a great
British company in London, why don't we apply for an internship in her company?
Narrator: They discussed about that crazy idea for hours, they thought about the pros and cons and
even about their families' opinion, but they finally took a decision: They were going to London!
Lourdes and Susana: Yeaaaaah! We're going to London!!

Situation
After an hour and 50 minutes' flight, Lourdes and Susana finally get to London
City airport. During the flight, they were so nervous that they couldn't even ask
for an orange juice to the flight attendant. They were so excited that they
couldn't stop thinking about how their new lives will be like. When they land, they
take a quick look around and everything seems really different to what they are
used to. "Am I dreaming? This looks like a film!" Susana thinks. Lourdes on the
contrary cannot utter a word.
They follow the sign " baggage claim"; they pick up their baggage and go to
the exit to look for a taxi and start their adventure. However when they get to the
entrance, there are no taxis around; they look and look and there are no signs
around, what would you do?
Of course! Ask someone for help!
