I’m not going on holiday this year. My mortgage has just gone up and I can’t afford a holiday abroad. I’m going to go to Wales though for a friend’s wedding.’
Mary: ‘I’ve heard a lot about ‘staycations’ but I’m going on holiday like I do every year. I always go to Spain for a week as normal. You just can’t trust the British weather! ’
Nicole:’ I’m not going on holiday this summer, but not because of the economic crisis. I want to help the environment. It’s crazy that everyone is flying around the world when there are beautiful places to visit here in our own country.
Steve: ‘Staycations?! What a lot of rubbish in this trend! People are still going on holidays. It’s cheaper to get a flight and leave Britain than to stay here for your holidays. I’m going to get a cheap flight somewhere and have a real break.’
Michael: ‘I’m staying at home this year. I want to spend my holiday getting organised, painting, decorating etc. I think we should learn to enjoy what we have close to home. If everyone travelled less the world would be a lot simpler.’
hello, my friend!
i was very glad to get a letter from you.
you asked me about environment. i want to give you some advices how you can protect the environment. you must sort your rubbish. plastic bottles, juice cartons, and cardboard can be taken to a recycling bank. you can use
recycled papers to help save trees. you can avoid buying plastic since is difficult to recycle. let’s keep the streets around us tidy, neat and clean, so don’t drop litter, put it in the bin! you can plant a tree. by planting and growing more trees, we will help reduce the pollution, lower energy costs, improve the surrounding. you see my advices are very simple. every person can do it. and you can do it too.
sorry. i need to go.
bye!
