1 I have made some arrangements for this Monday. First, I am meeting up with my school friends
and we are going downtown on Monday morning. We are going to hang out together for some
time in the city center. Then, we are going to try some fabulous seafood and dessert for lunch
in a fish restaurant. There are different styles of fish restaurants such as local, oriental, modern
or award-winning in the city center. As they have exclusive and warm atmospheres, I usually
prefer local ones. It is just my cup of tea. One of my friends has already got four tickets for a
local concert at a low price and, luckily, we are going to join the concert together. I think it will
be so much fun. At around 6 p.m., we will all, most probably, be very tired and decide to turn
back home. In the evening, I’m planning to watch a comedy movie with my parents at home. If
they want, my friends can also join us. What a nice way to end the day, don’t you think? I hope
everything goes as planned.
2 In a month, we are going on a family vacation. For the vacation, we are flying to Spain next
Sunday morning and probably, ahead of us is a busy week. When we arrive in Barcelona, my
mom is going to rent a car and my dad is going to drive to the coastal areas of the city. I am going
to read the map and tell dad where to go. Sant Sebastià is the oldest and the most popular beach
of the city, so it is going to be our first destination. We intend to settle and have a tent camping
there. During the camp, we are going to fish and cook them on fire. I mean, it is very easy to make
meals if you camp near the seaside. There are also lots of other world-famous beaches around
the city, so we are going to visit them and enjoy swims. I’m sure we will have a lot of fun.
3 I like cultural tours, so I am going to Russia this year. It is somewhere that I have never been to.
I have always heard good things about it. Therefore, I have always longed for this country and
finally, I could manage to save enough money to take this tour. My first plan is to have a trip to
St Petersburg. I am going to visit the largest art gallery, The Hermitage Museum, in Russia. The
museum is an excellent example of baroque architecture and there are world-famous paintings
and unique portrait sculptures which make the gallery a must-see one. I have already purchased
the tickets on the museum’s website. I am also going to spend time strolling St Petersburg Park
near the museum. This is an area with a fascinating history. Here, I plan to see the Grand Palace
which dates back to the 18 century. I think these landmarks appeal to all history lovers. I can’t
th
wait! It is going to be a fantastic tour.
4 My trip to Canada is definitely a sheer craze, but I decided to go there and then, arranged a
really good package deal with a travel agent. This means that it will not cost much. I am a very
energetic person and I can’t sit still for very long. For this reason, the travel agency has arranged
a nature trip in Canada. On this trip, I am going hiking in the woods and the mountains near Lake
Superior. I expect to see various wild animals such as moose, bears and maybe even wolves in
this area. It will be very nice to be camping out every night and enjoy the beautiful unspoiled
countryside. The highlight of my holiday though, is definitely going to be near the spectacular
Niagara Falls. I am going to take lots of pictures there. I can’t wait to see it!
5 I am working all summer, but I’m going to spend two days in England this month. I have had
an itch to experience the mystery of Cornwall. It has amazing views and beaches. I am going to
try some fabulous seafood and wander through the narrow streets of the city. There are many
colorful local shops in the area, and I will buy some handmade souvenirs for my beloved ones.
I am fond of legends, so I am going to take a short trip to King Arthur’s Castle, Tintagel as well.
Later, I am going to visit West Yorkshire. It is the place where the famous Brontë sisters lived and
it is a good choice for the fans of English literature. I am not going to miss the opportunity to visit
