where it was
who you went with
and say why you liked it so much
Sally: A few years ago I went on a long weekend to the Lake District in the UK … it’s a very popular holiday destination in the north of England … I went on my own and had a wonderful time
… I stayed in a youth hostel and met some really nice people … but the most memorable thing about the holiday were the breathtaking views … and lovely picturesque villages … it can get very busy with hordes of tourists so I decided to go out of season in the autumn … the weather was fantastic and the shops were full of local crafts … a really great holiday … it’s certainly not the kind of short break for someone looking for a busy nightlife but if you want to relax in the middle
of stunning landscape I would certainly recommend a holiday to the Lake District.

a beautiful beach in a virgin island, and then visited a lake, a bee farm and another beach that is popular for being a surfing spot.
We started to travel early in the morning We rented a van We reached our first destinationwhich was
a white sand beach after about 2 hours of travel by car and about 20 minutes by boat We spent overnight in the beach and headed to a bee farm the next day It took us about an hour to reach this place After few hours, we went to see the lake which was just close to the farm We did kayaking in the lake which was my first time We had lunch in there Then, we travelled about another hour to go to
a popular surfing spot My brothers and I tried surfing but it was quite difficult for me even if there was a trainer.
This journey is very memorable because we were able to visit many beautiful places together I can also say that it has been a long time sinceall of us gathered to have such trip We had a great time.
We had fun with the activities as well We took great photos and everyone was really happy.

1.What public holidays do you have in your
country? 2.Do people in your country celebrate
Christmas?
3.Do you like public holidays?
4.Which public holidays do you like the
most? 5.What did you do during the last
public holiday?
6.What do other people in your country usually do on public
holidays? 7.What would you like to do during then next public
holiday?
8 Do you think public holidays are important?
9 Do you think there should be more public holidays in your country?
Câu tr l i:ả ờ
We celebrate a lot of public festivals in my country I am sure you know about the Spring Festival which is the most important one In addition, we get together with our family for the Mid- Autumn Day and the National Day
Yes, there are so many people in my country, it's really hard to say, probably most people tend to go shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the salesthe shops are offering,butpersonally speaking, I am afraid we don't celebrate Christmas like the way in Western countries
Yes, I am fond of holidays The main factor is that on these days, I don't have to work and have plenty of time travelling around to unwind myself and also I will have more consecutive time with
my family
I believe my favourite public holiday would be the National Day because I will have at least seven days to go travelling and also it's the best time to go around, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the foliage of trees have turned yellow or red, which will give you picturesque views It's kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to go shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the sales the shops are offering, but maybe for others, they probably stay at home for resting
I believe the public holidays are rather important and there should be more of them in my country The main factor is that people really need unwind themselves without any distractions after tiring work and also public holidays can dramatically boost consumption as the goods will be sold at a discount during these days
