Listen to the story and answer the questions →Last summer, Ivan wanted to visit his friend in Salzburg. He bought a ticket online and went to the station early. He was very tired, so he didn't check the platform carefully.
He got on a train and fell asleep. When he woke up an hour later, he looked out of the window and saw mountains, not a city. He asked the man next to him, "Is this the train to Salzburg?" The man laughed and said, "No, this train goes to Innsbruck!"
Ivan got off at the next station and called his friend. Luckily, there was another train two hours later. He arrived in Salzburg in the evening, and his friend was waiting for him with a big smile.
