3) Model Answer

Q1. Do you like travelling?

Yes, definitely! I think seeing the world, from great historical monuments to white sandy beaches, is what life is all about. It's a very interesting way to learn about new cultures and explore new places.

Q2. What do you do on holidays?

I prefer visiting various museums and places of interest. For instance, on my last vacation, I was in Rome and I visited 12 museums. It was fantastic! Of course, sometimes I go shopping with my friends or relatives too. But I don't find it near as exciting.

Q3. Why do you think tourism is so developed now?

 Well, because it is a lot easier to travel nowadays… you can choose charter flights and find various youth hostels all around the world, so you don’t need to spend much money on travelling. Moreover, you can book a trip via the Internet, so you don't even have to leave home.

 Q4. Do you prefer travelling alone or in tour groups? Why?
I definitely prefer travelling alone because I like to plan the trip by myself. When choosing a guided tour, you should always conform to a set schedule. So if you are in India and, say, you want to spend an extra hour at Taj Mahal, you simply cannot do that with a group tour. I like independent travel. That way I get to see and do exactly what I want and spend as much time as I want at various stops.
