22 August 2022 | Part 3 | New places and travel trends🚆| without pauses

from Access all 'Repeat After Me' lessons!

We've been talking about visiting a new place, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. What part of the festival did you most enjoy? I liked the foods and the relaxed atmosphere of the festival, but I think what I enjoyed most of all was being able to experience it with my friend. We chum around together regularly, and yet I never grow tired of her company. At the festival, we shared a few good laughs and talked about the foods that were on offer. We also reminisced about old times. What is another new place you would like to visit? There are many new places I would like to visit. I suppose I would most like to see old historical sites in the UK, such as Hadrian's Wall or Stonehenge. We have ancient sites like these in Vietnam too, but the past few years I have been especially interested in learning about British history and culture, and I'd really appreciate the opportunity to see such historic places first hand. Is there anything that would discourage you from visiting a new place? I suppose if I read online reviews that questioned the safety of an area…or its accessibility I might think twice about going. I'm pretty adventurous, but I would never sacrifice my sense of security for a new experience. Some things are just not worth the risk. I'm also not interested in visiting places that are known for being excessively pricey. I don't feel that expensive travel plans necessarily mean you're going to have a more rewarding trip. In fact, some of my greatest memories are from times when I travelled on a shoestring and had to eat locally, try to interact in a foreign language, and walk instead of taking a taxi. Do people travel differently now compared to the past? Yes, there are many differences. International travel infrastructure has spread to even the most remote corners of the planet, and this means more people are travelling and they are travelling further than ever before. Airports have grown to phenomenal sizes too, and with this has come 'duty free' commercial culture, where people associate international travel with the opportunity to pick up goods that aren't taxed. These characteristics are a relatively recent phenomenon and not part of travel experiences of the past.
