Dream Holidays.
I've got five months to travel before I write! I'm going to explore
countries where I can speak English. Where am I going to start?
Australia
Australia is particularly hot from November to March. I love hot
weather so I'm going to arrive in Sydney in December. There's a lot
of outdoor life, and water sports to keep you cool.
64
South Africa
South Africa offers luxury safaris and the chance to see lots of exotic
animals. It also has a wonderful coastline so, after the safari, I'm
going to find a beach and swim. I like the sun so I'm going to go in
February.
India
Rajasthan is the perfect 'India for beginners' with its colours, views
and monuments. There are also exciting markets to visit, with
beautiful clothes and jewellery. I'm going to spend a month there in
January. That's when they say the weather is really good.
Canada
It's the Rockies for me in November! There are mountains and
beautiful lakes everywhere. I'd like to visit the Inuits in the north of
Canada too, but unfortunately I'm not going to get there ... there isn't
enough time.
Ireland
In March I'm going to take part in the St Patrick's Day festivities but I
know it can be cold. I'm going to buy a beautiful Irish sweater to take
back home. Dublin is a great city and there's fantastic countryside
too, so Ireland should be fun.
Exercise 6. Read the article and complete the table.
When to visit What to see/do
Australia Sydney, outdoor life,
water sports

Two sisters on the telephone:
–Well, what have you been up to since I saw you last?
–I haven’t been up to anything, I’m afraid. Just the usual office grind.
Have you been doing anything?
–No. James is off to Horvatia again tomorrow for his firm. The
Horvates seem to like those hefty great cranes and bulldozers he sells.
He rings me up every night from Zagreb, which is a comfort.
–So you’ll be absolutely tied again with the children?
69
–Of course.
–The firm would never pay for you to go to Horvatia as well, I
suppose?
–As a matter of fact, that’s just come up for the first time. There is a
big job of entertaining coming off in about a fortnight– all the
possible buyers and their wives are invited to Zagreb for a
demonstration and a party afterwards, and they say they’d pay for me
to go and play hostess and look nice, but of course, with the
children… And anyway, what have I got to look nice in?
–I say, Duckie, I’ve just had an idea. When is this do at Zagreb? It
wouldn’t be at the weekend by any chance?
–It’s to be a Saturday–best time for a party.
–Well, look here, why don’t I come and look after Michael and Jane
for the weekend? They are not such demons as you seem to think,
you know. We usually get on fine.
–Oh – it’s terribly sweet of you, but I couldn’t.
–Yes, you could. Now sort it out with James this evening before he
goes. I’ll come over on the Friday night, and I’ll stay over the
Monday too – I’ll get the day off from the office – so you needn’t get
back till late on Monday.
– No, I can’t really…Really you shouldn’t.
– Now shut up. No more nonsense. It’s settled. Just see the fridge is
full of food. I’ll take them to the zoo on Saturday. And what’s wrong
with that trouser suit? You look splendid in it.
– Do you really think I could? I never thought of a trouser suit for the
party…
