* Listen to a page from an 18th century writer’s diary. Where was he when
wrote it?

January 17

Today was a long boring, day with terrible weather. The ship didn’t leave the
port, so my journey to the mysterious island wasn’t possible – it’s still only a
dream. I can see the island through my telescope. The beaches are white and
sandy with many palm trees and there are green mountains at its center. It’s
exciting to imagine what I could find there. With hope in my heart, I’m sure I’ll
travel there soon.

January 19

I was sad and down all day yesterday. The weather was still bad and there
were strong winds. I went for long walks around the ship to pass the time
during the day. In the evening, I had nothing to do but read my book by
candlelight in my tiny cabin. Today the sky is a bit clearer – there is some hope
for my journey perhaps – but time seems to move very slowly in this place.

January 21

I had quite a relaxing sleep in my cabin last night, and this morning I had
breakfast with the others on the ship. In the afternoon, there was good news from
the captain: he says that tomorrow the weather will be good with no wind, so we
can go to the island in the morning. The ship will leave when the sun comes up. I’m
very excited: soon I can explore the mysterious island!
