Part 3 
Exercise 4
Model answers:
1 I think travelling is very easy for my generation. It 
is cheap and quick to buy tickets on the internet 
and lots of people travel every day, for work or 
for holidays. But for my parents’ generation,
I think tickets were expensive and travelling 
wasn’t very common. I don’t think people went 
on long holidays to different countries, I think 
they probably stayed in their own country.
2 Yes, absolutely. My country is beautiful and the 
people are very friendly. Tourists come to my 
country every day so I think it's a good idea for 
us to visit the different areas of the country 
too. You can learn more about your country 
and its history and you can try local food or 
visit ancient ruins. I think it’s a good idea.
3 That’s interesting. I’m not sure. Most hotels or 
businesses speak lots of different languages 
so it’s not important. Tourist attractions
have guides that translate too. But it’s polite 
to speak the language and to understand 
the people. I think it makes the visit more 
interesting.
4 Yes, absolutely. My favourite holidays or day 
trips are with my friends. Fortunately, we all 
have the same interests and like doing the 
same things and we can have a great time. I 
think it’s nice to share experiences and take 
photos. It makes the trip special.
