3. Read the posts by three friends about their camping activities and match their names with the experiences.
   
   Mai: It was actually a terrible day for me. I slipped and hurt my ankle, so I had to stay inside my tent. I couldn't join any team building games at all. I have never experienced such helplessness.
   
   Tom: I haven't had many exciting experiences like that before. We got to a beautiful site in Ninh Binh. We put up the tents and did unforgettable team building activities. We also hired bikes and cycled around the area. It was so relaxing.
   
   Minh: I had a brilliant experience by the sea with my class last year. We joined team building activities in the morning. In the afternoon, an instructor taught some of us snorkelling. It was exhilarating. It was also wonderful to see a coral reef and many types of colourful fishes swimming around. It's the best experience I've ever had.
