Mastering English as a Foreign Language by Rob Nolasco

1.Where do the British go when they’re on holiday? What do they do? In Victorian times, the growth of the railways meant that the middle class could go on the seaside holidays to places like Blackpool and Brighton. Today the seaside resorts still have accommodation, funfairs and entertainment but many holiday-makers prefer to go abroad because of the sun, sea and sand.

2.The most popular destination is Spain. Many holiday-makers take package tours where flights, food and hotel accommodation are included in the price. They seem to like the crowds and the restaurants and bars which offer a taste of home. Some people even go to self-catering apartments and villa s where they can do their own cooking. Greece, Portugal and Turkey are so popular destinations for package tourists.

3.France and Italy are also popular destinations but the visitors often drive there. Some camp or live in caravans, others stay in holiday homes or small hotels.

4.More holiday-makers are going further, and Thailand, Egypt the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean are becoming more popular.

5.For the English who do not go abroad, there are many attractions apart from the seaside and the main tourist destinations like London, Oxford, Stratford and Cambridge. There are many areas of natural beauty, South Wales, and the Lake District, and the Cotswolds, which are favourites with walkers. The country cottages in the beautiful countryside of Wales, Devon, Cornwall etc. are places for family holidays and camping and caravanning holidays are also becoming popular.

7.They are also more usual holidays. Some people travel very slowly up and down the waterways and canals in boats and barges.

8.Others take activity holidays where they learn a new skill like painting or a new sport like windsurfing.

9.Why don’t you join the British on a real English holiday? It’s a great way of learning the language!
