A Two-wheeled Adventure in Barbados

Last summer, a group of friends and I went on holiday to Barbados, a magnificent island which
offers thrilling activities as well as peaceful scenery for relaxation. We were interested in
experiencing both, so on our second day we decided to go on an adventurous Segway tour. A
Segway is a two-wheeled vehicle which you can use while standing up, and moves forwards
or backwards when you press the handlebar.
Our group met up with the guides near Barclays Park. We felt rather nervous in the beginning
because none of us had been on a Segway before. The guides explained to us how the
vehicles worked and told us that it would be a piece of cake. When I first got on, it felt a little
strange, but after a few minutes, I got the hang of it and off I went with the rest of the group.
We started on an off-road trail, along the eastern shorefront. As we rode along the rocky
terrain by the cliffs, we could see the beautiful waves crashing on the rocks below us on our
right and tall coconut trees on our left. Our guides informed us that the trail led to parts of the
island that couldn’t be reached by other means of transport, so using the Segway was
necessary to visit many of the hidden exotic beaches.
Cove Bay was our first destination, but to get there we had to ride past goats and cows that
were wandering around the countryside. It was a difficult feat trying to avoid them but we were
rewarded by the unbelievable view when we reached the beach. After that, we set off for Little
Bay. We rested there and enjoyed some delicious local banana bread our guides offered us.
Then we continued to zigzag up the path to go north.
River Bay was a beach that held a nice surprise for us. As we were
passing, we spotted a whale in the distance. I almost fell off my
Segway when I pulled the handle to stop. I couldn’t leave without a
photo for my albums! Our last stop was the Animal Flower Cave, which
is located in the northernmost part of the island. We got off our vehicles
and checked out the caves. They had colourful rock formations on their
walls and the view of the Atlantic Ocean was incredible from inside. It
was the perfect way to end our tour before we headed back home.
I had a great time and would recommend this tour to anybody.

Writing
Write an essay on the following topic: 190-240 words

The most enjoyable type of holiday involves travelling to several places

rather than staying in one. Do you agree?

score 25

Without a doubt, the best vacations are spent in new and extraordinary places. No
matter how far or how close you are, travel. Take a backpack, pack a few things,
because you won't need much, and go out and discover the world.
First of all, traveling allows you to get to know new cultures and ways of living
around the world, it is very interesting to discover how other people do different
things with the same purpose as us.
Secondly, you will become aware of your surroundings, since the problems of other
countries will eventually cease to be something far away, you will understand how
we are interconnected and the repercussions that the decisions of other people on
the other side of the world have on you, no matter how insignificant they may seem.
You will also be humbler, maybe in your city you were popular but in the eyes of the
world you are nobody and that will give you freedom. Your ego will disappear
because everything you identified yourself with is gone, you will leave behind
everything you thought you were or gave you some status like your job or your
studies and you will begin to relate to other people for what they really are, people.
In fact, traveling makes us free and allows us to know many places and people, so it
is the best option when we want to go on vacation.

Speaking
Record a video on your Zoom or other Platform and share the link with your teacher.

Yes, anger, I don't like to feel it because it makes me treat the people around me badly, even
if they are not the cause of that feeling. I'm trying to change that, but I still can't do it.

I usually express my emotions with people I trust, if I am angry with a college classmate
because he didn't do his work in the group, I will tell him if I have enough trust with him.

Well, it is frowned upon for males to express emotions such as sadness, although I hope that
over time this will change.

I think a positive response to anger would be to tell the person who caused the anger and
express what caused the feeling. And a negative response might be to act out with physical
or verbal violence, to break things.

10
 FACULTAD DE DERECHO Y HUMANIDADES

First of all, we have to calm down and analyze our emotions, think calmly and identify what
caused the negative feeling, to know if we can fix it alone or with the help of other people.

I like the way I am, but there are things I would like to change, for example, I would like to be
more productive, to stop assuming things, to be more empathetic with others and to be able
to understand and express my emotions in a positive way.
