Exercise 8B, page 83.0:00
In picture one, I can see an archaeological site.0:04
A group of tourists are walking around what looks to me like a temple, perhaps in Greece.0:07
In picture two, I can see a luxurious hotel with a swimming pool.0:13
There's a woman lying on one of the sunbeds sunbathing, and it looks like she's enjoying a cool drink.0:17
Both of these pictures show people enjoying different types of holidays.0:24
Of course, in both pictures, the weather is very good with the sun shining, so it's probably summer.0:27
The first is a sightseeing holiday where you go and visit museums, historical buildings and so on.0:35
People go on these holidays because they're interested in history and other cultures, and they want to find out more by actually visiting the place.0:41
The second is a holiday of relaxation at a modern resort.0:48
Here, the staff of the hotel look after you and you don't have to work, cook, shop or anything else for a week or so.0:52
People who have very busy lives often choose holidays like this because they like the feeling of luxury and having the chance to relax.0:59
Personally, I would choose the second kind of holiday at the point where I am in my life anyway.1:07
I'm studying at the moment and my life is very full.1:13
For example, I'm sitting important exams this summer.1:15
That's why when I go on holiday, I just want to chill out, give my brain a rest for a while.1:19
Besides, I think that a luxury hotel with a waiter bringing me a cool juice by the pool sounds like absolute heaven.1:25
