My Holiday in Vancouver My summer holidays are often a little boring, but my summer holiday last
year was great – my family and I got onto an airplane and flew to Vancouver! It was our first time to
visit Canada. We got up very early almost every day and did lots of really fun and interesting things. On
our first day, we visited Stanley Park and the Vancouver Art Gallery. Later in the week, we visited some
museums and then got on a special boat to watch whales. It was fantastic! I took lots of photos. Of
course, we also visited our cousins who live in Vancouver. One evening, they had a barbeque, and we
ate at their home. After we finished our food, we invited them to come to our home one day.
Unfortunately, we didn’t swim in the ocean because the water was too cold, but we did do many other
fun things. Finally, after two weeks, before we left Vancouver, my family and I went shopping and
bought lots of souvenirs to help us remember our time in Canada. Maybe we can travel again during
my next summer holiday. Maybe we can make plans to visit Japan or Brazil!

Passage 2: Read the passage and decide whether the below statements are true (T) or false (F).
Whether you're travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at least one
night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an exciting city
with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio's character in the
film The Beach stayed there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more
authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where
everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It's not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has
a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck
in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and
historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the
canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the
shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5
you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and
Faculty of English- DNU

Page 4

eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for
Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent
Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular
Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake
show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
T

P

1. One night is enough time to see Bangkok.
2. Khao San Road is an authentic Thai area of the city.
3. Phra Kanong is further away from the main tourist sites than Khao San Road is.
4. The river boat taxis often get stuck in traffic too.

P

5. Taking the Skytrain is a faster way to see the city than going by taxi.

Task 2:
Describe your memorable holiday.
Sample:

My last holiday was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I
lived there when I was at university, more than ten years ago.
Instead of staying in a hotel, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit
like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did in my university days, so I visited the
university. It has changed a lot and looks more modern. I also went to the supermarket near my old
house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and
chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember!
We did some touristy things too. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around the castle. The

views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic Charles Bridge. My friend’s flat
is very near the TV Tower so we saw the famous baby statues climbing up it. Those things haven’t
changed, of course.
