Can you see yourself in any of these situations?
I can see myself in both situations because I’d enjoy been in whichever of those places. In Mexico, I lived on a Caribbean Island where I used to go to the beach almost every weekend. It was a nice way to relax with your family or friends after a long week of hard work. In the same way, spending vacations on the mountains sounds fantastic. I can imagine myself surrounded by trees, all kinds of animals’ sounds and stunning landscapes while I’m out for a walk. This would be definitely a wonderful place to visit.
Why do people choose these places to spend their holidays?
In my opinion, people choose these places to spend their holidays because they would like to get away from it all and have the holiday of a lifetime. For instance, those who prefer the beach will like to do some water sports, get a tan, play volleyball or do some snorkeling or diving. On the other hand, the ones that prefer the mountains will try to avoid tourists’ traps and go to somewhere off the beaten track. I think that some of the most memorable things about this holiday would be the breathtaking views, for those who enjoy taking pictures, and the peaceful environment. Maybe, if it’s a very well-known place, it can get very busy with crowds of tourists so I’d say to go out of season. It’s certainly not the kind of short break for someone looking for a busy nightlife but if you want to relax I’d certainly recommend it.
Where did you spend your last holiday? What was it like?
I spent my last holiday in Spain because I arrived from Mexico during this year’s summer vacations. It was awesome. I visited Madrid’s and Barcelona’s places of interest, and then I came here for San Fermines. Furthermore, I went to the Semana Grande in San Sebastian and finally to some local parties in Pamplona. I’ve liked all the places I visited specially the ones where I saw fireworks because I like them so much and if I have the chance to visit them again,

If someone if married with children, their ideal holiday might be more relaxed, spending time at a resort on the ocean where you can relax with the family and get a nice suntan.

    Over Spring Break I left the country, I went to Los Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In Mexico everyday we went to the pool. When we were at the pool it felt amazing. The water was the perfect temperature. Sometimes before I got in the pool I would fall asleep laying out. The sun is a lot hotter there than it is here during the summer. Three nights to we went night swimming. When I went night swimming I spent most of my time in the hot tub. At night the hot tub was just the right temperature. If you got up around 7 a.m. you would most likely be able to see the beautiful whales jumping. While we were there we went out to dinner every night. On the first night we went to a place called Romeo and Juliet's. There pasta was amazing. It was soft, and buttery…

I assume that the two majority common places people desire for taking a vacation are the beaches and the mountains. Both places offer a variety of amusing activities to do. The beach offers activities that the mountain cannot offer and vice versa. The mountain and the beach are totally different in some kind of way. Even though these are both good quality vacation places, they are different in climate, types of activities, and locations.…

    Secondly, I love traveling to other countries. I love visiting new places because I can experience different cultures and meet different people who I wouldn't normally get to meet. When I go abroad, I really get the feeling that I'm living in a big world and that all my worries are so small and pointless. It would be great to go to a country I have never been to before. I've heard from many people who've been to Europe that Barcelona was the best place they'd ever visited. Barcelona is a city that has beautiful beaches and is known for having sunny and clear weather, so if I had a chance of going to any country I wanted to, I'd choose Barcelona as my ideal vacation location.…
