 Jake: Katie. What was your first trip abroad?

Katie: It was with my primary school, four or five years ago. We went to Paris. I remember, we caught a train all the way down to the English coast and then we took a boat to Calais. Then we went by coach from Calais to Paris. It was a long trip.

Jake: What was Paris like?

 Katie: Oh. I loved it. We stayed in a really nice hotel near the centre and we saw all the famous sights - the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame. And we went on one of those boats on the River Seine.

Jake: Could you speak French at the time?

Katie: Not much. I could say some simple things, but that was all. But it made me want 

to learn to speak well. When I went into shops, I spoke to people. I remember I bought

 some French CDs 

when I was there. Oh, and I bought some French comics too. I read them again and again

 when I got back home. I've still got the CDs and comics now.

Jake: What was the food like?

Katie: It was great! I ate typical French food and I really liked it. My friend hated it. 

She just wanted to eat in fast-food restaurants.

Jake: Really? What was your favorite moment on the trip?

Katie: One evening we went to the cinema and watched a French comedy film. 

I couldn’t understand everything. But when I listened carefully, I understood some things, and I remember feeling really good about that

T: Let’s read the text about the holiday and then we are going to do some exercises. But before reading        the text we’ll read some active words and word combinations:

 

go snorkeling ['snɔːk(ə)lɪŋ] плавати під водою з маскою і трубкою

discover [dɪs'kevə] відкривати, виявляти

distant ['dɪst(ə)nt] віддалений, дальній

arrange [ə'reɪndʒ] домовлятися

jewellery ['dʒu:əlrɪ] коштовності

 

         Dear Jane,

         Here I am in Greece and I think this is the holiday of my life. The flight was 

great.  The weather in Chalkidiki is fantastic and the water in the sea is really hot.

I am staying in a small hotel by the sea.

         Every day I go snorkeling and I sit in the sun. I want to look terrific when I come home. In the afternoons I go sightseeing. I discovered that is best to rent a car if you want

 to see all the distant places of interest. I often travel with some nice Spanish 

people I met at my hotel. They are very friendly. Every night I go to the different 

restaurants and clubs with them. That way I can practice my Spanish a bit. Guess 

who I met at the disco last night? My best friend Gina! I was so surprised. I didn’t

 know about her plans for going to Greece at all. We arrange to meet tomorrow 

morning. We want to look for some souvenirs in the local shops.

          One more thing. Two days ago I went to watch the sun go down and 

I found something on the beach. It’s the most beautiful piece of ancient jewellery.

I can’t wait to see you. I want to tell you all about Greece when I come back.

          Love

          Sophie
