Part1: What kind of holiday do you like?
Well, I’m not a big fan of the tourist attraction that are full of hoards of tourist. I prefer going somewhere off the beaten track to avoid the crowd and explore new things.
Part 2: Describe a beautiful place you once visited. You should say
– When you went to this place?
– Where it was?
– Who you went with and why you liked it so much?
Last year, after a hard year at work, i decided to get away from it all by heading for Korea, my favorite tourist destination so far. I went there with 2 friends of mine. The accommodation that we chose was the hostel which was not as expensive as a hotel. The things that made me fall in love with Korea so deeply were those breathtaking views and picturesque falling leaves. That was really a holiday of a life time.

1.Do you like holidays? Why / why not?
Yes, of course. I do love the holidays because this is the great chance for me to have a short break after working hard days.
2. Do you prefer to travel or stay at home during holiday periods? Why?
Actually, I would rather stay at home during the holiday periods because it is extremely stressful and uncomfortable to deal with full hordes of people, the crowd noise and expensive services at tourist destination.
3. What do most people do during their holidays in your country? Why?
Well, most of people often enjoy the holidays with their kids by going to the cinema or going to water-park and then having home-cooked food together.
4. When do you prefer to take your holidays? Why?
I really like to take my holiday by traveling to far-off destination in fall, because the weather is so cool in this season and i can get away from it all to go sightseeing, enjoy breaktaking views and pictureque falling leaves.
