9. Describe a holiday you want to go on in the future/
describe a
bicycle/motorbike/car trip you want to take in the future
Frankly speaking, I’m
not an extrovert, so I haven’t been on many trips up to now.
However, I would crave for having a pleasant experience on a package tour to [place]
- only within a 50- kilo meter drive from my house. I intend to travel on my own to do
the sightseeing, which may save me from the hassle and nuisance from my friends, who
usually complain all the time while being on a long holiday. If everything goes according
to plan, the tour should be reasonably priced, at 40 USD for at least 2 days 1 night and
it should promise luxurious accommodation and scrumptious food. So you see, I tend to
go for cheap holiday without second thoughts as it is exactly what I want to expect. The
first part of the journey will probably be good enough for me because it will take me
not too much time to reach the destination. Besides, l am looking forward to chances to
engage in any gossip with other passengers so that the trip will go by with a lot of fun.
I imagine that the moment we check in at the hotel near the beach, I will be really glad
that the quality of the room will definitely be up to standard. If I recall correctly, I made
it quite clear to the travel agency that the bed must be cozy and comfortable and the
air-conditioner has to work well. Regarding the swimming and the seafood, the weather
on that day will be so sunny for sunbathing, which will make me feel like jumping my
feet into the seawater. To add to the fun, because I am going to travel during off season,
the seafood won’t be too pricey and the servings will be therefore large for a person
like me.

QUESTIONS FOR PART 3
9.1. What can people benefit from travelling?
Clearly, there are a number of merits brought by travelling. But I would probably say
that the thing that really stands out is we can broaden our horizons of the world. To be
more
specific, when coming to a new region or a country,
we have the chances to
sample the local life, enjoy the cuisine and learn a great deal of interesting stuff. Besides,
a second positive point could be that we can let our hair down after undergoing nerve-
racking period of time of hard work or study. A flying visit to somewhere can help us
recharge our batteries and work more effectively afterwards.
