My Vacation of a Lifetime
This coming Saturday, I am beginning my "vacation of a
lifetime." The first place I'm going to is Bali. My plane
leaves at six-thirty Saturday morning. I arrive in Bali late
that afternoon. I'm staying at the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel.
I leave Bali on the fifteenth and travel to Thailand. While
I'm there, I'm staying with some friends. We'll take a boat
tour in Bangkok and then travel to the countryside. There
is a national park, and we'll do some hiking. Finally we'll
finish in Phuket. It'll be nice to relax on the beaches and go
windsurfing too. This will be my first trip to these places.
Part II. Imagine that you are going to take your ideal vacation next week. Write a paragraph about
your plans, using Part I as a model. Use present tenses where appropriate. Share some of your
plans with a partner, in small groups, or with the class.
