to get away from it all: to take a holiday to escape a busy or stressful lifestyle

off the beaten track:人迹罕至的地方

wildlife safari: a holiday, often in Africa, to observe wild animals

What do you like to do when you’re on holiday?

I enjoy visiting the localplaces of interest… I liketo go sightseeingand always sign up forguided toursas it’s a chance to be shown around and take photographs … one of my hobbies.

places of interest: sites of interest to tourists

to go sightseeing:  to look around the tourist sites

guided tour: an organised group shown around a place of interest by an expert

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 say why you liked it so much.

A few years ago I went on a long weekend to the Lake District in the UK … it’s a very popularholiday destinationin the north of England … I went on my own and had a wonderful time … I stayed in ayouth hosteland met some really nice people … but the most memorable thing about the holiday were thebreathtaking views… and lovelypicturesque villages… it can get very busy withhordes of touristsso I decidedto go out of seasonin the autumn  … the weather was fantastic and the shops were full oflocal crafts… a really great holiday … it’s certainly not the kind ofshort breakfor someone looking for a busy nightlife but if you want to relax in the middle ofstunning landscapeI would certainly recommend a holiday to the Lake District.

What do you think has led to the growth in the tourist industry?

It’s much easier and affordable to travel now … nowadays you can get cheapcharter-flightsorall-in packages… to somewhere near or toa far-off destination.

charter-flight: a cheaper form of flying than a scheduled flight

all-in package/package holiday: a holiday where you purchase the travel and accommodation together

far-off destination: somewhere a long way away

How do people tend to choose a destination?

The Internet is a great source of information and high streettravel agentsare still very popular … that’s where I like to go to getholiday brochuresfor the place I’m interested in.

travel agent: a shop that specialises in booking holidays

holiday brochure: a glossy publication with details of holiday packages

People sometimes say flying is the most glamorous form of travel. Do you agree?

I’m not so sure really … flying can be quite boring  … queuing up at thecheck-in desk… going throughpassport control… sitting for ages in thedeparture lounge… then the flight itself can be quite uncomfortable … no … I’m not sure I agree.

check-in desk: the place at the airport where you register for your flight and deposit your luggage

passport control: the place where your passport is checked

departure lounge: where you wait for your flight to be called
