* 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
Trang 3people 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
