Tania 8, Speaking ‘What is your ideal vacation destination? Do you like to travel by car? train? airplane? boat? Explain. Write a short paragraph about a place where you have gone on vacation. Today, going on vacation is something that people try to do every year, in order to take a break from their daily routine. However, this was not always the case. In the mmid-eighteenth century, vacationing, or traveling for pleasure, was not something people did. It was in March 1744 when Dr. Hamilton, a doctor from Maryland, set out on a joumey on horseback “intended only for health and recreation’ that the trend can be said to have officially begun. Twenty years later, more and more people who were financially well off began seeking relaxation and fresh air. They were the nation’s first vacationers. ‘Vacationing became even more popular with the growth in wealth and industrialization at the time, as well as the significant rise in the use of the railroad and the automobile. It was advancement in these areas which led to the growth of the middle class. By the mid- nineteenth century, Americans from the emerging middle class enjoyed time away from work in pursuit of seashores, mountains, and springs for recreation and good health. This triggered the blossoming of summer hotel resorts. The railroad also allowed for the increase in sight-seeing and tourism, with people focusing on learning about cities, historic areas, and natural wonders. By the 20th century people began going on road trips around the country, while today people take their vacations in destinations all over the world The Story Behind the Name Look at the map.

Most of the meals at Dominique’s contain meat and. are therefore unsuitable for vegetarians. AS many people are vegetarians these days, we should offer a wider variety of dishes. We should also provide a children’s menu in order to draw more families to Dominique’s. At present, the interior decor of Dominique’s is rather dark and old-fashioned. We should redecorate the restaurant using brighter colors Ifthe restaurant looks ‘modern and cheerful, people will be more likely to visit it Although Dominique’s current facilities are adequate, wwe could improve them. For example, a play area and high chairs would attract families with small children, Furthermore, a separate area with popular background music would attract young people.

Writing Write @ paragraph about a circus you have visited or would lke to visit. Have you ever had a dream come true? Guy Laliberté certainly did. He is the founder of the incredibly popular entertainment company called Cirque du Soleil, French for Circus of the Sun. Unlike traditional circuses, Cirque du Soleil is not about animals and clowns but about the gymnastic abilities of human performers. It all began in 1984 when a group of young street performers, Guy included, arrived in Baie-Saint-Paul, a small community in Quebec, Canada, to entertain the public. They quickly became popular and started their own festival. Their outstanding performances launched the beginning of a world-renowned success story. Today, Cirque du Soleil is a traveling circus that performs in an enormous blue and yellow tent in over 120 cities around the world, Some of the most popular touring troupes include Alegria, Dralion, Varekai, and Corteo. Cirque du Soleil has also established permanent homes in two of the biggest entertainment centers of the US: Las Vegas, Nevada and Orlando, Florida. The featured shows in Las Vegas are O, ‘Mystére, Zumanity, and Ka while the show in Walt Disney World, Orlando is La Nouba. Approximately 50,000 spectators will see a Cirque show on an average weekend. Its heart-stopping performances combine elements. from circus, ballet, musical, opera, and street performance. Acts include jugglers, feats of strength, trapeze artists, and contortionists. The lack of dialogue means that performances easily surpass any language restrictions. The music, which is played by a live band, is quite passionate and original. Also, the spectacular special effects and creative colorful costumes are breathtaking. Cirque has also produced a number of soundtrack CDs and movies. Their ‘most well-known movie is The Journey of Man. Girque du Soleil continues to this day to modernize its outstanding performances by incorporating the latest styles from the entertainment industry. Laliberté succeeded in turning his dream into a reality and now his circus also focuses its energy on helping other young artists make their dreams come true. So, what's your dream?
