It is very fun to play with a simple purpose like that. If we play in the day time, the fee will be cheaper.PART DTRAVELLINGSUGGESTED VOCABULARIES + IDEAS + EXPRESSIONSTraveltransportabroadoverseasCoachferryjourneyFavoriteFirst classLong- distanceExpenseItineraryTravellerarrangement [?tr?v(?)l ][?tr?nsp??t ][??br??d ][???v?(r)si?z][k??t? ][?feri ][?d???(r)ni ][?fe?v(?)r?t[?k?spens[a??t?n?r?ri][?tr?v(?)l?(r)][??re?nd?m?nt](n.)(n.)(adv.)(adj.)(n.)(n.)(n.)(adj)(n.)(adj.)(n.)(n.)(n.)((n.)::::::::::::::::to go on a journey or visit different places, especially places that are far away from where you live or work = du l?chthe process of moving people or things from one place to another, usually in a vehicle = v?n t?iin or to a foreign country =? n??c ngoàihappening or existing in a country across the sea from your country = ? h?i ngo?ia long comfortable vehicle for carrying a large number of passengers, especially on long journeys = xe ?òa boat that makes short regular journeys between two or more places = phàan occasion when you travel from one place to another, especially when there is a long distance between the places = chuy?n ?i dàiliked = ?a chu?ngthe best and most expensive seats on a plane or train, or the best and most expensive accommodation=h?ng nh?tcovering large distances = ???ng dàian amount of money that you spend in order to buy or do something = chi phía plan of a journey that you are going to make = l? trìnhsomeone who is travelling or who often travels = ng??i ?i du l?cha way of organizing things so that problems are solved or avoidedUseful vocabulary connected with: TRAVELabroad (adv): n??c ngoàiin a foreign countryHe left his country at the age of 30 when he got a job abroad.trip (n): chuy?n ?ia journey, usually short, in which you go to a particular place and come back home againTom is on a business trip in France, he won’t be back until Saturday.service (n): d?ch v?the act of providing customers with goods or taking their orders for a particular amount of moneyI visit this hotel quite often, because it has a very professional service. travel agency (n): ??i l? du l?cha company that arranges travels for peopleI seldom visit travel agencies.

I travelled without parents, but with guide and other children. I don't remember exactly how much time it took to fly from Minsk to Venice, but I think it must be about 2 or 3 hours. During the flight I communicated with my neighbours, I admired the view from my window and slept a bit. When we are were landing in Venice I looked out of my window and saw the entire city. It isn't true, that there is no one road in Venice, but only water channels. I can say that only the third part of the city is covered with water. Then the plane landed. And in the end I'll say that traveling is a nice hobby and a great thing if you want to know more about the world and certainly if you are studying a foreign language.SAMPLE 2: ?? I like travelling and I have had many interesting holidays. In the summer, I usually go on vacation with my family. We have visited many famous places such as: Hanoi, Danang, Nhatrang… but we like the vacation to Dalat best because it was very wonderful.??? At 10 o’clock my family arrived in Dalat. My father had booked a big room before, so we went to check in and rested. After resting for a while, we went to “Thung lung tinh yeu”. “Thung lung tinh yeu” has many beautiful flowers: tulips, roses, violets… As you may know, many people have considered Dalat a wonderful, romantic and attractive city.??? After that we went back to our hotel. My family had dinner together in our hotel at 7.30. My mother liked the foods because they were delicious.??? That vacation was too short but we felt it wonderful. It is my greatest time in life.hochiminh city institute of applied science and technologyforeign language departmentenglish IFOUR CORNERS 2A HANDOUTUNIT 2COMPILED BY Huy?n Huy?n T?n N?

Give a short talk: Describe your best friendMy best friend is Lan. We have known each other since we were 10 years old. However we became best friends when we were at grade 8. At that time I was very bad at English and she helped me to improve my English. If I were to describe how she looks, I would say that she is very pretty. She has long black hair and a straight nose. She is quite slim. She has a very nice personality and a wonderful sense of humor. She is also friendly and creative. I always count on her to be honest and to give me the best advice.What I like about Lan is that she has same hobbies with me. We both enjoy singing karaoke, reading comic books and going shopping.
