Imagine that a travel company is doing research in your country.

You have agreed to participate in a telephone interview about holidays.

Hello! Thanks for taking part in our survey.

How often do you go on holiday, and who do you go with?

I go on holiday twice a year.

I usually go with my family or my best friend.

Nice! Where did you go on your last holiday?

Last summer, I went to the beach with my family!

We swam in the sea every day, and the food was great.

Do you prefer to travel by plane or by train? Why?

I prefer to travel by train, for two reasons.

First, trains are cheaper than planes.

Second, I can look out of the window and see the countryside.

I can also walk around, read a book, or sleep!

But for very long trips, I take a plane, of course.

Practice set two.

Imagine that a sports magazine is writing an article about exercise.

You have agreed to participate in a telephone interview about sports.

Hi there! Let's talk about sports and exercise.

What sport do you like to play, and how often do you play it?

I love badminton!

I play it with my friends every Wednesday evening.

Great! Where do you usually exercise?

Usually, I go to a sports centre near my house.

It's only five minutes away, so it's very easy.

Do you think it's better to exercise alone or with other people? Why?

I think it's better to exercise with other people.

First, it's more fun, and the time goes fast!

Second, my friends help me when I feel tired or lazy.

For example, last month I didn't want to go running in the rain.

But my friend called me, so I went with her!

After that, I felt really great!
