look round; take photographs; spend a lot of money; buy souvenirs; do shopping; lose their way; go sightseeing; have a good time.

Act the situation using the following key phrases;

It’s interesting to know…

In Pakistan you mustn’t wink. It’s offensive. In the Middle East you must never use the left hand for greeting, eating and drinking. In Thailand you shouldn’t pat a child’s head. In Singapore chewing gum is banned. Bowing is the usual way of greeting in China. In Poland you should never take chrysanthemums to a party. They are only given at funerals. If you are invited to a meal in Brazil, you should arrive some time after the stated time.

What does travelling mean to you?

These are the extracts of two letters. Sort them and you will get two stories about ideal and disastrous holidays

Dear Jane A I am going to tell you about my last journey. I was ready to travel to Paris when one day I was knocked down by a car and broke my arm. But I decided to go anyway. My Dad promised to give a ride to the station, which was far from our house.

Yesterday I decided B to have a look round the shops and I bought some souvenirs. Today I’ve been to a couple of very interesting art galleries. On my way back to the hotel I discovered a really fascinating market. I’m afraid I’ve spent too much money.

We planned to set C off very early to catch the 7 a. m. train. In the morning the car couldn’t start. When we finally left it was 6.30.My dad is a very slow driver and I asked him to speed up. When we were doing 120 km/h the police stopped us. We had to pay a rather heavy fine.

To make things worse our D car began to jerk as we had run out of petrol. We finally got to the station at three minutes to seven. I kissed my father goodbye and jumped on the train. But as soon as I reach the next station I realized that I had got to the wrong train. Hope your holidays were better than mine.

Tomorrow I am going to E see London from London Eye. I was told the view from it is unforgettable. Finally, I should say that London is fantastic. I’ve taken a lot of photos. You’ll see them when I get back home. See you later.

Dear Nick F I’ve been in London for almost a week now and I’m having a great time. I spend the first few days going sightseeing – Houses of Parliament, the Tower, Buckingham Palace and all the usual attractions.
