My favourite holiday was in Paris, a couple of years ago. I really love seeing the sights. We went to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre. We saw everything! I love buying souvenirs, too. I got a lovely model of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2.
I went to Ibiza last year, and had a great time! There’s such great nightlife there that I didn’t actually see much of the place we stayed in! we went clubbing all night, and just chilled out in the day in the hotel! We were on a budget, so we couldn’t do anything too expensive. We saved our money for the clubs.
Speaker 3.
I’m going to work my way round South America. I’ve taken a course in how to teach English, and I’m going to use that to help me to travel. I’m going to go to unusual places, a bit off the beaten tracks. I don’t like places where you just meet lots of people from your own country.
Speaker 4.
I was walking along the Great Wall of China. It was early in the morning, so there was nobody there, except a man walking his goats. Parts of the wall looked like they had been built in the clouds. The hills and the wall are stretching out as far as you can see.
Speaker 5.
I went to Grand Canyon with my family. We’d been walking for a few hours. We felt very happy to be there because we had heard about the Canyon, how beautiful it was. And it was very, very big.

A. Ireland is a very beautiful island. It is famous for its breathtaking mountains, peaceful valleys and freshwater lakes. The unique sight is situated in the north of Ireland. It is an area of 40,000 joined columns. According to a legend many, many years ago an Irish giant, Finn MacCool, fell in love with a nice woman giant, who lived in Scotland. However, the cold Irish Sea separated the two giants. So Finn MacCool started to build a bridge, so that his girlfriend could walk across the sea.
Nowadays, it is one of the most famous Irish wonders of nature. Thousands of tourists go there every year.
B.This area is known as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is situated in south central England on the range of rolling hills. It lies across the boundaries of several English counties; mainly Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, and parts of Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire and Warwickshire. This area is one of England's favourite destinations; famous for hundreds of honey-colour limestone villages of 17th-18th century in a beautiful rural setting. In summer time, the area offers fantastic walking and cycling, beautiful gardens, bustling farmers' markets and a delightful cafe culture. 
C. It is a popular and the most picturesque outdoor tourist destination in Gloucestershire, England. It's filled with beautiful moss-covered rocks, bridges, and fantastic rock and tree formations that can be accessed by miles of winding pathways. An enchanting place, it is said to have served as the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. In addition to the forest, there are farm animals, outdoor picnic tables, a cafe, a gift shop, and a children's playground in the area. Some of the animals kept in its include cattle, wild fowl, rabbits, donkeys, Soay sheep, goats, and Shetland ponies..
D.It is one of the most known attractions in England, being at the same time one of the earliest prehistoric European monuments. It is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It was built on the Salisbury plain in 3000 BC and till now there only guesses, who and how created it. People built it with bluestones and sarsen stones. There are only suggestions why people built it. Maybe they used it as a cemetery or a place for studying the sun and the stars. Maybe it was also a temple. It's still a special place for some people today. Every year, on June 21st, lots of people go to Stonehenge to celebrate the longest day of the year.
E. Lakes, castles, waterfalls, and steam railways create a surreal experience right out of Lord of the Rings. An area of outstanding natural beauty, this National Park is set in northern Wales and visitors can paddle their feet on a sandy beach in the morning and be sitting atop the highest peak in England and Wales that same day. The region is very popular for hiking, mountaineering, white-water kayaking, and other outdoor pursuits. It features Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales at 1085m (3560 ft). It is also an area steeped in history and legend as the natural fortress for the Princes of Gwynedd and for Llewellyn, the last true Prince of Wales.
F.It is purportedly the most famous lake in the world and one of the most visited locations in Scotland. It is a large, deep lake which is allegedly the home of the famous monster. Another interesting feature you can find here is the only known island around it, dubbed as Cherry Island. What makes this island peculiar is that it is a man made islands built during the Iron Age. This can only be accessible through a canoe. Aside from sight-seeing and monster hunting, there is so much to do here .You can take short walks along paths to the ‘Trail of the Seven Lochs’. This trail is an amazing place for hiking, stretching about 50 miles of pathways with spectacular views. Aside from hiking you can also do varied activities: golfing, fishing, horseback riding, and more fun activities for the whole family.
