Talking About Your Vacation in English - Spoken English Lesson 

Hello Gina and Jack! This lesson was simply excellent!!. It was very complete! thank you a lot!

On my last holiday I went to Egypt with my parents for two weeks.We hit the beach nearby the hotel,drank cocktails,swam,sunbathed and rode a camel. It was out of this world! Also we did some sightseeing in Hurgada as well as: stunning historical pyramids,the statues of the famous pharaohs and many others fascinating things. Hurgada is a cosmopolitan and touristy place. Mostly I went to the mini disko and danced with another children. The hotel where I stayed was a huge place with a delicious food from different countries. The staff was funny,hardworking and wonderful people. For my tastes, this hotel is the best place in Hurgada! By the end I want to say that I wasn’t so keen on the Red Sea. There wasn’t many fishes and corals. I was upset by this(( So, I spent excellent time with my family! Thank you for reading my story from my life. And thanks for your channel. It helped me to write the story about my holidays! :)

My parents and I went to Odessa for two weeks. We went to the beach every day. We often went to the different excursions. Odessa is cosmopolitan and overwhelming but it is dramatic and picturesque city too. There are stunning beaches and there are also many fascinating buildings. I liked the center of Odessa. I disliked that it was big storm for two days and the sea was very cold. In general Odessa is very good place for spend your holidays.

Last vacation, I went to Da Nang with my husband and my son for 3 days. We chose it because it is one of the most beautiful coastal cities. The first day, we visted Hoi An - one of the oldest stresses. It's very picturesque with old houses and colorful lanterns especially in evening. The second day, we did some sightseeing in Ba Na hill. The hill has spectacular and breathtaking views. It was built according to European architecture. So it's very impressive. The last day, we hit the My Khe beach- one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's clean and nice. I love going swimming and playing with my son on the sand. I love Da Nang, it is true to say that " Da Nang is the most liveable city in Viet Nam"

I wnt to the UK five months ago for the first time. I loved Wales, I loved Somerset l loved the people. It's a green place, I adored the Atlantic Ocean which i saw for the first time . I loved the countryside and it felt like home to me. It is really a Great Britain...😊

I went to Istanbul by myself for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed my vacation there because there was something new to do everyday even thought the city could be a bit overwhelming, I was surprised by the amount of people on the main street, I usually prefer to stay away of the crowd. I went up to the galata tower and was mesmerized by the view of the city, this trip was the best one so far, I met incredible people and tried local food. Those memories will be in my heart forever.

I went in London two years ago with myself for one week. First of all I stayed at the best hotels in the vicinity of city center. Although it was really expensive but it’s convenient because I had easy access to the biggest shopping center so that during my vacation I went to shopping on a daily basis. Secondly, I hit the beach because I believe that going to the beach can lighten my mood. Then I bought some souvenir for my family. Although London has lots of tourist attractions and it was a cool place but it was really noisy for my taste. Thank you so much dear teacher 🙏💜

Thank you for great lesson. I went to Ha Giang by myself for one month. I travelled around, did some hiking and mortorcycling with new friends I met along way, and explored the countryside. I was staying in many different accomdations during the trip, in local houses and homestays , which are surrounded with mountains and villages dotted around the sides. It was beautiful in a wild way, and the emptiness gave me a real feeling of isolation and solitude. I liked the people I met-everyone was so open and welcoming. It's always been a nice memory I've never forgetten

My wife and I went to Curitiba for five days. We did a lot of sightseeing: Botanical Garden, Ópera de Arame, Santa Felicidade neighbourhood and so on. We also went hiking to the Tanguá Park, which is a fascinating and peaceful place to relax. The downtown is awesome, because there are many shops, restaurants and cafes. It is a very wooded scenery that mixes buildings with nature. There are also other amazing places in the city, but we couldn’t visit all of them. We liked the people we met - everyone was so open and welcoming. It is a stunning city, but by the end we are getting quite tired, because there are so many places to go.

I went to New York with my parents for a long weekend. Mostly, we went on a walking tour of the fascinating places in New York and watched fascinating beauty of this city. After that, we rented a flat . It situated in picturesque and sleepy district of New York . In the evening, we went to restaurant in the heart of city. There was so noisily, but It’s quite touristy. Atmosphere of this place was out of this world.

On my last vacation, I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. we stayed in a very picturesque, a sleepy village surrounded by some dramatic mountain scenery. I traveled around, did some hiking and camping, and explored the countryside. on the other hand, the nights were so cold, we wish we'd taken a warmer sleeping bag.

Thank you for the lesson, it was great, as usual. Last summer I went to the Carpathian mountains for one week with my family. We stayed in a small sleepy town surrounded by picturesque mountains scenery. We lived in a two-store cottage. The best thing was a view from our window. We enjoyed looking at the mountain covered by the forest and surrounded by the clouds. It was amazing. Mostly we went hiking in the mountains and hills nearby looking for mushrooms and blackberry. It was relaxing but on the third day, it started raining and it going on until the last day we were there. But there were a few hours each day without rain usually in the morning and in the evening. We also spend a lot of time just hanging out in the yard near our cottage playing badminton and jumping on a trampoline. I think it was a great idea of cottage's owners to put such sports equipment in the yard. My children liked it so much. There was a river nearby our cottage so we swam there almost every day. I supposed that we were able to ride a bike during our vacation, therefore, we took our bicycles from home. Although the cottage was surrounded by mountains with forest there wasn't any pavement on the street only highway road with speedy traffic. I'm not talking about any cycling paths, it is difficult to find them in our country at all, so it was very dangerous to ride on the bike on this road, especially with the children. I wish we had more opportunity to explore the town on the bike.

I went to Turkey last summer with my husband for 10 days. Istanbul is such a picturesque city packed with a rich cultural heritage. Mostly we visited tons of local museums and the infamous Topkapi Palace. The we went to Bursa which gave me the chills, quite literally as it was overwhelmingly cold. Oh and the food, Turkish cuisine is one of the best you will ever eat , absolutely out of this world. We even hit the beaches for some sun, swimming and cocktails! Istanbul has some great ferry rides and is a great place to visit but it's too touristy and crowded for my taste.

I went to Egypt with my family for 8 days. We were constantly sunbathing, swimming in the pool,swam in the sea looking at beautiful fishes and having fun in the stunning water park. We did some sightseeing and took many fascinating pictures. We stay in a picturesque hotel, our room was sleepy and it was good because after having fun in the pool we always wanted to relax and sleep. There were many interesting things to do, but sometimes it got boring.

I went to Greece with a group of children for 18 days. Mostly we went to the sea and swam. We also did sightseeing in Athens. Sometimes our group went to the village and hung out there. It was a very sleepy village. Athens is a stunning city but it is very touristy. Athens has fascinating beaches with blue water. Greece has many picturesque views. I liked the people, they were friendly and welcoming. Sometimes it was boring because all the days were pretty similar. I liked the general atmosphere most of all.

I went to Tram lake at Vung Tau city with my DOP’s friends for 2 days. We did team building on the beach with 3 teams to find a treasure. We pick up trash on the beach, and we swam together. Then in the afternoon, we do a BBQ on the beach, each team performed a performance: sing, dance, catwalk, rap,… it was so fun. After a long day, in the night, we sat on the beach, under the moonlight we talked to each other. Vung Tau was a fascinating place, the most sunset on the sea that day like a picturesque, the air is fresh and peace. I loved Vung Tau because it was both beach and mountain, the climate was comfortable. My last vacation was extremely relaxing and enjoyable with my friend.

Thank you for examples of stories about holidays. I learned a lot of new vocabulary. My mother and I went to Sochi for a week in November. It was a guided tour which included a lot of cultural activities. We visited the stadiums in the Olympic Park. Fisht, Iceberg and other stadiums have an interesting and unique architectural style. Then we watched the musical show of the fountain which was amazing. The jets of fountain raised to the sounds of classical and rock music. We went up the mountain 2000 km high in a ski lift in Krasnaya Polyana and enjoyed the sight of the summits covered with snow. Also we looked at exotic flowers and trees in Arboretum. The variety of plants is great, and we didn't have enough time to see them all. We recall the cosy atmosphere of these place, and we would like to wander its walkways in the shade of trees. We sampled some of the local cheese, honey and tea and listened to the farmers who produced them. The products were delicious and we learned a lot about their production. Our trip was very eventful and almost every day we walked a lot and visited a great number of places. It was interesting but we were a bit tired.

Hi Gina & Jack, thank so much for your useful vieo lession. it's really impressive and give me some ways to describe about vacation. Wish all you great health, happiness and great sucess

Gina and Jack thank you for this lesson. I went to Tayrona National Park in Colombia, for three days with my boyfriend. Mostly, we hiking on the hills and mountains, we were also enjoying the stunning beaches. We were camping in a very pinturesque place near of the sea. Tayrona National Park is recognized for have a lot of beaches surrouded by nature. We really enjoyed our time here despite to walk over this place is too hard.😊

I visited my grandparents for a month. I helped them in the garden, helped my granny with cleaning up. Sometimes I read books in the evening, went to the blue Lakes. I swim , sunbathe. It was relaxing and amazing.

Last summer, my little family took a small trip to Phu Quoc Island for 3 days. We stayed in a beautiful hotel. From our room, we can enjoy the whole picturesque scenery of Phu Quoc Island. The first day, we hit Bai Truong beach-one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The sun blazes and the weather here is very hot. I love going swimming here because the water itself is cool and refreshing. The second day, we did some sightseeing: Ham Ninh fishing village, Phu Quoc prison,...The natural beauty of the village was picturesque and it seemed to me sleepy. At Phu Quoc prison, I had learned more about national history. It is very helpful for me. The last day we all went to the market. I love the seafood so much, all of them was very fresh and tasty! I also bought some souvenirs for my friends. It was a great trip that I will never forget.

I went on a trip to HoiAn with my class when i was high school. The weather was fine , which helps me socialize with many friendly people and took a lot of magnificent pictures . I am definitely immerged by the special foods and the fastinating landscapes , which made my journey absolutely perfect . I hope to comeback here as soon as possible

My family and I went to Crimea for all month. We went on excursions, clibed mountains and swam in the sea. I scuba dived, rode a yacht and flew a helicopter. I really enjoyed the sea. But sometimes there were violent storms and the next day there were many jellyfish. We ate a lot of delicious fruits like lychee, mangosteen, pitahaya, etc.

I went to the sea camp with my friends and my cousin for a 10 days. I met a lot of interesting people from different cities. We hit the beach two times a day. We had a lot of fascinating activities. We went to the disco every evening, played games, went on a walking tour and visited aquapark. I visit this camp this camp at third time in a row. This camp is out of this world:)

I went to Carpathian Mountains with my classmates for a week. At first we went on a walking tour of the sleepy town of Yaremche, where we visited the Hutsul Museum and stunning waterfalls. Then we climbed the Makovitsa mountain, enjoyed dramatic mountain views and breathed the fresh forest air. Moreover, we swam in a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool overlooking the wonderful mountains of the Carpathians. On the one hand, I liked the mountain vacation, because I was impressed by the beauty and nature of the Carpathians. On the other hand, it was a dangerous vacation, because there was often a thunderstorm in the mountains.

I went to the Korea city of Pusan with a friend of mine for a couple of weeks. Mostly we went some museums which helped me to get useful information of Korean history , the city was pretty awesome and romantic especially at night! and we also hit the beaches and swam with blue water , took some fascinating pictures ,There were lots of other activities to relax However we couldn’t do all of them because we were getting quite tired . In the end of our vacation we got some restaurants and cafes and sampled Korean special dishes but it was too much spicy that i couldn’t eat it anymore. So in all It was such a memorable holiday that i’d ever done

I went to canada for 18 days with my mother , my brother lives in Montreal therefore we visited lots of cities including Ottawa , Quebec , mint tremblant , 1000 islands , Toronto and Niagara Falls, each city has its own beauty and architecture ! We had a wonderful vacation ! It was the second time I visited canada and I like it more and more !

Two years ago I went to England , I had a 2 weeks long , studying holiday with lots of people come all-over the world . I met two Chinese and two Russian boys . I really enjoyed my vacation , I would rather have an experience like this , during this summer holidays

New word for me. "stunning" = very beautiful , "out of word" = no word to describe , hung out = relax , hit the beach = go to the beach. Thanks.

Hi Jack and Gina, thank you so much you helped me a lot, lots of health and happiness for you guys, keep it up! I’m from Brazil

Last time I visited Benaras in India. I was really overwhelmed by the varied culture of different people thronging the thoroughfare. There are picturesque bathing places around and fascinating idyllic places to explore on boats.

Last month,I went to Malaysia with two of my best friends and one teacher for about one week.Firstly,we went to a city call Malacca,the city is the capital of Malacca state.Strait is located on one of the oldest cities ,including the city.We did sightseeing and went around the city,the city is fulled with the smell of art and it's a very picturesque and facinated place for me.I love this place.

Very useful lesson plenty of resources to develop our vocabulary and fluently as well . Thanks a lot for sharing teachers. Best regards from Spain.

I went to Odessa with my family and our friends for 14 days. We was in Chernomorsk and Sanjeika too. When we walked from Odessa, we saw that it is very cosmopolitan city, but I liked it. But Odessa has its cons. Very durty sea and small of rotten fish. We often swam in the sea, and we felt that water is stunning. We didn't sampled many food, but I ate watermalon every day, and this fruit is beautiful there. I liked walked along a seaside at 5 am, it is very sleepy and picturesque. I want to go there next summer.

Thank you for great lesson! I remember clearly about my holiday in Phu Quoc island last year, i went there with my mom for 5 days. We reached the holiday destination by plane. We stayed in a hotel with colorful walls and picturesque view, it looks like Venice in Vietnam. Then, we hit the beach, drank cocktails, watched the sunset. We also went sightseeing the zoo, the aquarium. We took a lot of photos there! And lastly, i really like the people i met, they're so friendly and hospitable. Looking back now, it've always been a nice memory that i would never forgotten.

On my last vacation i went for my hometown on a motorcycle. I left Caruaru, Pernambuco and went for Caculé, Bahia. I crossed three states, and walked 1400 kilometers. There were to many things to see along the way. Some fascinatings landscapes, like the "caatinga", a kind of dry region, with little rain. Poor people were living there, but the hardness life is not enought to make they sad. I crossed the coast too, with stunning and pictoresque beaches e little villages. At the way, i went for chapada diamantina, a local with the highest mountains of Bahia. there was a lot of natural beauty and wild life. There a take a hard hiking for the waterfalls. Finally, i arrive in home. I gave a strong hug in my parents and we enjoy long days of peace in our country side.

On Sommer holiday I drive to Lviv you,with my family,for 3 day. In Lviv I saw many shops and restaurants.The restaurant in Lviv are very cool because they're nice interface in the style of is the last century, and good view from the window. Also I was in a candy store there I saw how to make candy and tried to make them myself.Lviv is very clean and pretty.But I had a little time to explore this great city.

I visited Oxford Online English on my vocation for one day in weekend, and learned some useful adjectives to describe my vocation.

I went to the Hon Trem Resort in Kien Giang with my son and his friends on last summer holiday for two days. Mostly, we spent time in this resort for a more active holiday. We have "Growing" together by the activities: - Meditate early in the morning to nurture a loving and quiet heart. - Collect rubbish along the coast and mobilize everyone to protect the environment. - Overcoming difficult challenges in the series of Team building games. - Join in the night of the lighthouse, the foot-washing ceremony for Parents to show their love and care for their Parents. We stayed in a very morden, sleepy resort surrounded by some stunning beach. The best thing was the food, which was out of this world. I think I liked walking around the beach most of all. I wish we had had more time to explore life of the locals here.

I went to Shanghai with my boyfriend for a long weekend. I wanted to look for some memory because I got my bachelor degree three years ago at this international big city. We visited some friends who worked there and they treated us with a big meal. And we just hung out in my university campus that is very picturesque, quite because of rainy days. Mostly, we wandered around the campus by sharing bikes. It was very relaxing but the time was limited so we had to return to our working city by train. I like the city which is modern, fashionable and open. But there are very crowded streets, busy traffic and make me feel stressful. I love Oxford online English. And thanks very much for your every topic and each comments. I have a dream that I can speak very fluent English just one day. So I will spend more time on practice of oral and writing English. Thanks for your sharing and help.

It's been about a year since I went to Nghe An province which is my hometown with my mother for a couple of weeks. We lived in my grandparents' house, a typical rural house, and spent most of time visiting relatives. I was happy because they all were strong. We also visited Sen village which is known as the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh. It's picturesque but a little touristy, maybe because of its famous, I wasn't keen on it. Then we went to the most stunning beach in my hometown, Cua Lo beach, for swimming. Fortunately, it wasn't as crowded as usual and we had a great time here.

Thanks for eveyone who prepared this useful lesson

Hi Gina and Jack! Thank you for the lesson, it was really useful! I went to Turkey with my friend for 5 days in addition I bought many souvenirs for my family

Hello Gina and Jack! This is my text: I traveled to Turkey with my family and our friends for a week. We sunbathed on the sandy beach,swam in the clear, blue sea and sampled fascinating Turkish dishes. The hotel where we stayed was like nowhere l’d ever been before. There was different bars where offered exotic cocktails. Also the hotel had kids rooms where we left my sister. The swimming pool was in the center of the hotel it was very comfortable. But the weather was hot especially in the afternoon,so l couldn’t swim.

Last week, I went to Da Lat by myself because I wanted to let my hair down. Da Lat is one of the cities that made me fall in love at first sight with tall majestic pine trees and unique ornamental plants. I went there by bus, and I was really impressed by the natural beauty of Da Lat city. I stayed in a four-star hotel, but I was not keen on the staff and food in the hotel. I think I liked the general atmosphere most of all because Da Lat had a mild and warm climate all year round thanks to its hilltop location. Da Lat is considered as the City of Flowers in Vietnam, and I decided to go to Da Lat Flower Garden where I could look for different types of flowers ranging from native flowers to exotic ones. I also spent about three hours visiting some places of interest in Da Lat such as the French Quarter, Da Lat Railway Station, Linh Phuoc Pagoda,Xuan Huong Lake, Tuyen Lam Lake, Da Lat Market and so on. The food in Da Lat was absolutely superb, and I tried a lot of street food which are regarded as local specialties such as baked girdle cakes, grilled chicken feet, fermented pork rolls, grilled oysters with cheese, stir-fried snails with coconut milk, grilled sweet snails and stir-fried snails with lemongrass and chilli. I really liked the local people I met because they were very friendly, hospitable and welcoming. Da lat is a very interesting place , but it is a bit crowded and touristy for my tastes. I really love Da Lat because of its breathtaking views, and I wish I had had more time to explore this beautiful city.

I went to Paraguay by myself for 1 years and 2 months. I have been living with my host family and I travelled around, learning Spanish, cooking Paraguay food and explore the countryside. I was in encarnación which is a great beach in Paraguay. I like the people I met everyone was open and welcoming. On the other hand, even though it was summer, some time it was raining heavily and so cold! I wish I'd taken a wonderful day in Paraguay again.

I went to Spain with my family on our vacation for couple of weeks. We did some sightseeing in Madrid: Main square, opera house and so on. Then we hit the beaches for some sun, swimming and cocktails.

The next weekend, I'm going to do the B1 exam. I need to study a lot if I want to get my certificate. Thanks you so much for these videos!

I went to Frankfurt-on-Maine by myself for a long weekend. I did some sightseeing in the town like The Zoo, The Modern Art museum and so on. Also, I explored the town by myself and in the evenings I hit the bars for watching football championships and drinking the beers. I tried to do shopping but because I hate it, I preferred to walk on the streets and taste local food. Frankfurt knowns as the crime capital of Germany, but in reality, it's a very sleepy and picturesque town surrounded by a lot of parks. And I felt safe. I like the atmosphere and the people, they so calm and quiet, not like in my city. I disliked the weather throughout my stay, it was cold and rainy. That's why I wish to repeat my visit in the summer, I feel that I missed something.

My husband and I went to Đà Lạt for honeymoon in 5 days. We did some beautiful sightseeing, such as: Love Valley, The Clay Village, and City Park. We took a stroll at night market and enjoyed a lot of delicious local meals. I like the weather the most, fresh and a little bit cold, but in the end I was getting bored because each day was quite resemlbe.

Thank you for lesson. I had a memorable vacation with my friend a year ago. It's an amazing experience . We went to a highland village in my country which was called Mai Chau. Althought we stay at it for 2 days but we had a great time with many great experiment.

Your lessons always add things to our knowledg

I went to the countryside for two weeks, where my family lives in Laja. Above all, I was going to relax with my mother, my sister, and my friends. We didn't travel anywhere for tourism, it was winter and the weather is so cold and rainy. But we also hang out in town playing cards, cooking and eating. Laja is a quiet and relaxed place, there are not many people, but the nature and the landscape of the lake are very beautiful. It was relaxing but in the end I was getting quite bored, because each day was quite similar.

I went to Mustang with my family for a week. Mostly, we did a Jeep tour driving through the rugged trails in the mountains with a spectacular view of deserted landscapes and light Tibetan settlements. We also did some sightseeing in the famous Dumba lake and local monasteries around and tasted the local apples and the famous Brandy in Marpha. It provided us with best ever experience to explore the unique Tibetan culture and lifestyles. We really liked the people over there, they were so open and welcoming. On the other hand, though it was not winter, the mornings were quite chilling and we wished we had taken warmer jackets.

very helpful video thank you very much

Help me fix my story.Thanks you a lot I went to Phuket with a group of 3 friends for 4 days. In the daytime we hit the beaches at Patong Beach and some of surrounding famous ocean for some sun, local gourmet, snorkeling. At night walking around night market with colorful types of decoration makes me like the night atmosphere there most of all.Phuket has a a lot of of stunning beaches covered with soft white sand, but could be a little overwhelming with many foreigners as long as Thailand ethnics ,so therefore it’s quietly difficult to avoid being hit by opposite people for my tastes. This time I wasn’t so keen on the weather ,so I wish it hadn't been so gloomy

I went to Thailand with my family for ten days. We did some sightseeing. Mostly we hit the beaches, enjoying the sunlight, and sampled lots of local food in Pattaya. Pattaya is a dramatic place, but a little bit of overwhelming because there was so much going on.

I with my friend visited Umbrella park last week. It's very stunning place that has many fascinating views of nature. It's a tourist destination and the food court here has a variety of foods that seems out of this world. We enjoyed a lot and made our visit memorable.

Three months ago, I went to Baku with my family for a week. We visited their monuments, like, Haider Alyf Museum which designed by Zaha Hadeed, an Iraqi designer. We spent a lovely time there visiting different places, like their public markets and we bought souvenirs for my friends. I liked Baku a lot because it was calm and her people were very lovely. It was a stunning week.

Thanks for video. It improved my knowledge.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent lesson again from the best teachers. You offered us amazing vocabulary and It is very useful for all of us because sometimes I miss appropriate words to express my opinion. My last vacation was nothing special. I wasn't so keen of that. I was in one country in the Europe but I am not so overjoyed with that. Me and my girl went to Annul city and spent there 5 days. As far as me I like active holiday while my girl want to take good place on the beach and enjoy there. The adventure sport is not my cup of tea! I like relaxing and do not thinking of anything. Also, I am not risk seeker on the contrary I am risk averse man. I hate the risk tolerant and risk seekers because they are very dangerous for all of us. We visit some famous landmarks in this famous city. We found a lot of people there, it was really crowded, touristy and overwhelming. It is not my favorite. We did some sightseeing in the center of city. we visited Saint LOVRO church, saint Marko cathedral, Riva coast and Helena hill. This town has stunning beaches and we enjoyed there. During the night we were hanging out and hit the pubs. Mostly we went to the restaurants and tried the local cuisine as much as possible. I adore the pasta with cheese. We avoided a big groups when we went to visit some landmarks. We stayed at amazing house surrounded by dramatic mountains. We found one fascinating restaurant with the scrumptious dishes. The food was well prepared just on the way I like, a little bit spicy. At the end of our vacation became a little bit boring. The same activities for every day. There wasn't much variety from one day to the next. I didn't think that our holiday was very interesting, nothing special. For my taste this town is a very crowded, touristy, and overwhelming. I wish it had been less crowded, though. Thank you once again for your effort. Cheers, Ivan.

I went to the village with a group of friends for a couple of days in my hometown. We stayed in a picturesque motel, which was decorated with some ancient antiques. Mostly, we traveled around and took some photos on the Love bridge. We also enjoyed playing folk games and eating local food in the restaurant. The people I met- everyone was so friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, I think I liked the general atmosphere most of all. Because it helps me relieve stress, and forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

I went to Nepal for two months to meet my family. Thanks for the Lesson. It’s very useful

I like going on vacations once in 6 months.It helps in rebooting oneself in today’s busy atmosphere. I went to Jabalpur with my family for a long weekend. Jabalpur is in M.P. ,India and is famous for ‘Bhedaghat’ .It’s a stunning waterfall with spectacular views. We clicked some selfies by standing on a platform just beside the fall. We also went for boating, which was super adventurous for us , as we were fortunate enough to see some Crocodiles during the boating tour. There were fascinating views of marble rocks around us , as we sailed through the river. Last but not least ,the food here was sumptuous.

Tks for lesson . I can talk about my vocation

Hi I went to the South of India with my family for 10 days. We explored many religious places there . We went to Tirumala, it is famous for temple of shree Govinda. The place is famous for picturesque mountains and dramatic scenery. We did some sightseeing and explored nearby places. The temple is beautiful with villages and mountains dotted around the sides. The emptiness gave me a real feeling of isolation and solitude . I wish we could get some authentic North Indian food as most of the time we were served South India food .

I went to countryside with my family for a couple of weeks ago. We stayed in very beautiful village surrounded by nice mountain scenery.

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, I haven’t travelled for a long time. My last vacation was 20 days long in the summer of 2019. I had a trip that stretched from the north to the south of Vietnam with my family organized by a travel agency - Travel Authentic Asia. We visited so many famous places in Vietnam such as Ha Noi capital, Ho Chi Minh city, Ha Long Bay, Phu Quoc island, Nha Trang sea, Mekong river, Con Dao prison, Hoi An, the floating market and so on. It's the most fascinating country, I've ever been to. There, I discovered countless interesting cultures and played a lot of entertainment. My parents are crazy about historical sites and agricultural experiences here. My younger brother is sucker of varied rides at amusement parks, the twisty hiking experience, speed boating competitions and climbing majestic mountains. I think I like the beaches most of all. There are beaches with crystal clear water. Standing on the shore, I can also see corals lying deep in the water. I can immerse myself in the cool sea water for hours without getting bored. In additional, the best thing was food, which out of this world.

Well unlike the others here English is my first language. I was having problems breaking down sentences and wanted to go over some basic things to sort of reminisce. I have learned a lot from this. Thank You ☺️🤗😁

I like going to holiday. cuz it can give me different memories. All kinds of food. historical architecture and interesting cultures .

My mother and I went to Singapore last February 2017 for a couple of days,it's a fascinating and pictureque place to visit eventhough it's just a small country in Asia. There are stunning landmarks and I must say it's a must-visit city, we did some seightseeing in merlion park,gardens by the bay,sentosa and a lot more. We also went to famous restaurants and sampled most of their cuisines such as hainanese chicken rice and char kway teow and found their foods were devine like nowhere i've ever been tasted. Singapore is a compolitan and touristy city,it's a quite overwhelming sometimes because a lot of things going on and hordes of tourist are coming now and then however, this beautiful country is worth travelling for and I wish i'd had more time to stay there.

I went to Seattle by myself for a long weekend. I loved Kingston because it was like nowhere I'd ever been before. I hit the famous lakes and waterfalls nearby my friend's home, camped on Orcas Island, and hiked among huge trees dotted around the camp spot. At night, we stayed in a picturesque village surrounded by the ocean. The day after, I woke up in peace and had good feelings in addition to staying in a nature spot. I wish I had come to this place with my family, I think they'd love it as I am.

On my last holiday, i went to Goa with my friends for couples of weeks. Then, there were lots activities with them like, i ate food and drink, i spent much time that place.

Last vacation, I went to Istanbul with my family for a couple of weeks. I can tell you that it was the greatest vacation that we ever had before. Although Istanbul would seem a bit touristy at first, It still has so many attractive locations where you can experience the beauty of Istanbul. Enjoying the warm sunbathe on its beach was the first thing we did when we arrived. After that, we took a walking tour of the old city where we saw these fascinating historical landmarks like Aya Sofia and Al Fatih Mosque. Despite the location of our hotel was noisy for my tastes, it was easy to move around the whole city using public transportation. I liked the Turkish cuisine most of all. The taste and flavour were incredible. I wish I hadn't had on a strict diet to enjoy tasting all kinds of Turkish food. Genuinely, Istanbul was like nowhere I had ever been before.

I went to USA in a group tour with a total of 61 members including my family for 2 weeks. We did a lot of sightseeing in San Francisco, Las Angels, Las Vegas, Niagara and New York. We went to the stunning beach of Santa Cruise, vibrant Universal studio in Las Angels, lively casinos in Las Vegas and Statue of liberty in New York. Las Angels was a fascinating place. I think i liked the general atmosphere overall. Las Vegas was so lively and energetic. I loved Las Vegas, because it was beautiful with colourful nightlife and it was like nowhere I'd ever been before. Niagara falls was absolutely a picturesque spot. New York was wonderful but quite overwhelming. It's a cool place but its too touristy for my taste. I wish it had been less crowded though. 2 weeks were not enough to explore all the places satisfactorily. I wish we had more time to explore USA.

Beginning of this year, In January, I went to Goa for Physiotherapy Conference. I stayed in Green Park Hotel and fascinated to the State. Goa has plethora of stunning beaches, Spiritual Temples and Churches, picturesque mountains, dramatic country sides etc. Lots of Water sports and Boat Cruise were excited to me. Moreover, I visited Fort and Museum too. Unforgettable Trip in my Life.

I went to Malaysia with a group of classmates for ten days. We did some sightseeing in Kuala Lumpur: Petronas Twin Towers, Batu Caves and so on. Then we spent an astonishing time at Genting Highlands: the theme park, hill resort, cinema casino, splash pool and plenty of games and rides. Finally, we hit some stunning beaches in Langkawi for some sun, swimming, and cocktails! I liked the general atmosphere mostly. On the other hand, the city center at night was very crowded and noisy for my tastes.

Thank you both of you for your lesson. Here is my holiday: I went to the countryside by myself on the summer holiday for a couple of weeks. I was really longing to try interesting things in the countryside , even it was not my first time here. I stayed at my grandparents' s house , which was in a picturesque, sleepy village. It was covered by green fields and a wide river nearby. Mostly, I spent time with my cousins , who lived throughout their childhood in the countryside. I was really enjoyable to join some daily argicultural activities. We planted rice, grazed buffalo, went fishing together. It was so new for a girl from city like me. The village is a great place with all of nice landscape, fresh air and lovely farmers here. Sometimes, I just feel it 's quite secluded, particularly at night, beacause it absolutely did not have the streetlight.

My husband and I went to Scotland last December to visit my in-laws. We stayed there for a couple of weeks. I enjoyed our vacation because I've got to see new places like the Findhorn beach, castles and Abbey churches.

I went to Bulgaria with my 7 years old daughter for a one week. We back today. We rented a car in Varna and travelled along the Black sea coast. We explored different beaches between Kranevo and Sozopol. We don't like to lie on the beaches and do same things every day. We did sightseeng, visited different cities, swam, played golf, visited a waterpark. The local cuisine is delicious. There are a lot of seafood (but we don't like seafood and we didn't taste it :) ) We tasted salads, meat, potato, pancakes and so on. I liked Sozopol. There are a lot of restaurants, different beaches(we liked Gold Fish beach and Harmanite beach), waterpark, old town and so on. The best hotel we stayed in is a Cristiani hotel: it's very clean and fresh, yummy breakfasts and dinners, lovely staff.

I went to the camp with my friends for a week. I socialized with many interesting people, took a lot of magnificent pictures and went on a tour of the city. The city was stunning but touristy and overwhelming to my mind. Mostly we swam in the picturesque sea, play games and ate. In addition, I bought souvenirs for my parents. It was awesome but sometimes it rained so we couldn't go to the sea. After camp, I went to an Anime K-Pop Fest.

I went to my friend house with my family last holiday . We went to mountain for vacation 10 days ago

Hi Jack and Gina! I was sightseeing with my friends for a couple of days. We hit the sleepy and fascinating place located in our town. That was awesome and makes my mind fresh and peaceverything. I hung out at this exciting place with my friends the whole evening. Sincerely, there was nothing to overwhelm.Thus,I appreciated my vacation time.

Thanks gina and Jack for your helpful lesson! Due to covid, recently I haven't travelled anywhere. When I was a student in Japan, I have been to Yokohama with my Japanese language teacher for a day. Yokohama is a well-known sea port city nearby tokyo.It's was a fascinating trip to be honest. First of all, we decided to go to the Yamashita park where is the gorgeous park with a European style garden and various statues. So we capture the moment by taking lots of memorable photos. Because It has a picturesque view, so we could observe all the stunning views of the sea port. Then we hit the motomachi town which is a pattern of style chinese town. So It's quite overwhelming with much thing going on. We are in favour of chinese cuisine so we appreciated some chinese dishes which was out of the world. Finally we went to visit some architectural chinese pagodas. (it's my last trip and thanks for your reading and check)

I went to the capital of Ukraine, Kiev with my family for 5 days. We went some sightseeing: the Independence Maidan, the Sophia Cathedral and the Golden Gate. Than we were keen on many delicious dishes in the most popular restaurants in Kiev. Also we hit the beaches and went boating. Kiev is a very cosmopolitan and touristy city for my tastes. On the one hand, it is wonderful, because many people know about this stunning city. On the other hand, I hate noisy places, that's why I don't like Kiev.
