Telling your friend about your trip

place and I met my grandma after a very long time!
Garry: So tell me something about what you did there.
Karen: Oh sure! I visited some wine farms to see how they make wine. I also went to
some wine bottling plants. In the evening, I would go on treks. I had an amazing time!
Garry: That is so cool. Did you try some wine too?
Karen: Yes, I tasted different types but I didn’t drink too much. My folks were around.

Charlie: Yep! I could find you a great deal on one of the no-frill airlines.
Garry: Fantastic! Please do that.
* Do you often make a plan before you go somewhere or just travel without preparation?
Explain why.
- I often make a plan before I go somewhere. I always check the weather forecast in the
areas I will be visiting before I go. This will ensure me enjoy the trip and prepare for any
poor weather in advanced.
- I always prepare some items that are necessary for me during the vacation. It will make
my trip more enjoyable and comfortable as well.
- I usually prepare a map before I go to a new place on a vacation so I couldn’t get lost.
* What are important things that we should pack for a vacation?
I always have a habit of bringing sth with me...
I think the most important things to pack are...
Have you ever been on a vacation with your friends? Do you like going on a vacation
with your friends or with your family? Why?Suggestions:- Friends. Being with friends
on holiday can be a laugh. There’s no need to submit to what my parents want to do and I
have the freedom of choosing exactly the activities that suit you. There are no restrictions
– except when it comes to money!Family holidays can be fun. I can spend quality
time together that I wouldn’t usually have, which is great if I’ve spent the academic year
away from home.
Do you prefer to travel alone or in a group? Why?
•
If I had a chance to go somewhere I would choose travel with a group of friends
because it is much more fun and enjoyable. We can discover new things, meet different
people, enjoy different foods and explore different places together. Traveling with other
people would certainly be safe and we are able to support as well as rely on each other.•
I like travelling on my own, because then I have full control over what I want to
see and do. I also hate the fake socializing that one is forced to do when with a group.
Unfortunately, the costs of solo travel are usually so much greater.
Some important safety tips when traveling
Travel safety
Ask your hotel manager for advice on 'safe' versus 'unsafe' local areas
Keep a photocopy of your passport and all other important documents in a safe place.
Transport safety
At the airport, watch for your suitcase as it appears on the carousel
Avoid changing money at airports, as thieves could be watching you
Consult with your hotel manager or tourist information centre about the public transport
in your area. Make sure you know what official taxi cabs look like. A thief may pose as a
taxi driver to lure you into their car
Don't share taxis with strangers
Carjacking is a problem in some cities. When driving, keep all doors locked and windows
up. Make sure your boot is locked too
Hotel safety
If possible, choose accommodation that has unmarked 'swipe cards' rather than numbered
keys for each room. If you lose your swipe card or if it is stolen, the thief won't know
which room to rob
Take note of emergency exits, fire escapes and emergency plans, just in case. Always
lock your hotel door when retiring for the night. If there is a chain included, use it.
When arranging to meet people you've never met before (such as business associates),
wait for them in the lobby. Don't ask them to come up to your room
Match your dress style to that of the locals. Don't wear an obvious 'tourist' outfit like a
loud shirt with a camera slung around your neck. Be discreet when map reading. Notice
the people around you. Be wary if someone seems to be taking more than a passing
interest.
